I became familiar with it as there is a branch in the SM Hypermart that's right by my place. Initially I thought that it wouldn't be useful to me as a student (back then), but after walking through the aisles, I realized that so many of the stuff I needed was right here. Yellow pad, 1/4 pad, 1/2 pad, lengthwise pad, Mead notebooks, Schneider pens, chalk, eraser, greeting cards, and many other essential items for work and play. Once, I even purchased a gift for Kris Kringle here (it was a piggy bank). Two thumbs up!

This place is a great option for students to go before school shopping if they don't want the huge crowd and aren't really interested in the design of things. The branches may be limited and this place may not be as famous as the others but it serves its purpose. They have all your basic pad paper sizes, notebooks, pens, pencils, folders, containers for you supplies, the works! Office Warehouse doesn't cater to the biggest crowd but they definitely have the supplies you need just not with as varied a selection. This place is focused solely on supplies unlike more stores that sells books...and supplies to follow. They also have good quality office items like desks and chairs so you can really go in here and purchase everything you need for your office or study area.

Philippines review #33…read more I'm 7300 miles away from home, in a hotel around the corner and want to wrap a few Christmas gifts. I already have the basic building blocks needed for gift wrapping, but need a few of the little things to bring it all together. Scotch tape, some type of ribbon, scissors, a pen, etc. As I'm walking through the Century City Mall on the 3rd floor, I see this store and decide to go in to check it out. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/office-warehouse-makati-4?select=trHyh_6px_UPckCfddN4fg It's a small store, but boy-o-boy they have a lot if different items stuffed into this small space! You name it, they probably have it. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/office-warehouse-makati-4?select=EP9PyNY1WBPDZtGFEzJA2g I look around the entire store (doesn't take long) and am able to find exactly what I need in a matter of minutes. I head to the check out counter and the one employee manning the store. He has a pleasant, friendly demeanor, which always makes for a better retail shopping experience. OVERALL: While I didn't find the type of store I was originally looking for, this office supply did the trick nicely as I found exactly what I needed and at reasonable prices too.

Buying common office supplies, such as pen and paper, is easy if you live in Salcedo Village. Most…read moreconvenience stores sell these items. But if you need folders, envelopes, specialty papers, printer ink, or even storage boxes, the place to go is Office Warehouse at the ground floor of Paseo Center. Here you can find more choices for ballpens and pencils. There are different sizes and brands of bond paper, envelopes, fasteners, and rulers. Since the store specializes in office and school supplies as their main business, their prices are very competitive. Plus, neighborhood regulars don't need to pay for taxi fare or walk to the bigger malls to buy the aforementioned items. Aside from office supplies, they also sell tables, chairs, and other office furniture and equipment. Fax machines, paper shredders, and even Internet routers are being sold, too. Another reason why I'm happy that there's an Office Warehouse near my work place is the fact that they offer photocopying services. It can be difficult to find photocopy centers or kiosks in the area.

When Office Warehouse first opened, I always wondered who would go there when they had National…read moreBookstore -- apparently a lot of people would. Although like National Bookstore, they also sell paper, folders, envelopes, invoices, pens, calculators and notebooks, they also offer office furniture, printers, scanners and the like. The selection of office supplies is not entirely the same. Office Warehouse sells Schneider pens from Germany which I love. They are the sole distributor of Schneider and I have currently replaced all my Panda ballpens. They're not as expensive as Lamy, but I find the quality very good for everyday use. They also last a really long time. I've had my Schneider pens for years and they write as well as the day I bought them. Don't expect designer office furniture from them. The selection they have are all from China. I am dubious of the quality and not entirely attracted to the styles, but choose well and they should last a while.

I love going in here and....don't laugh, but I'm one of those people who like smelling markers. They smell good okay! I don't know what it is about the scent of fresh markers, but I find it heavenly. But enough about weird habits, I like Office Warehouse because unlike National Bookstore, everything's pretty much straight to the point. Paper here, markers are there, pens are here. No pretty stationary or cute journals to distract you. Not that National Bookstore isn't organized, it's just that you're distracted by a lot more stuff, and chances are you'll go in needing a pen and exiting with a notebook, a mechanical pencil, and a whole plethora of colored pens you don't actually need. Office Warehouse really just gets down to the nitty gritty and offers you nothing but quality office supplies, so you can go in, get what you need, and leave without wanting to buy the whole store out.

This is where I…read morewrote my requirement papers, did my research, Power Point presentations and printed my 100-page thesis. My laptop is just too heavy to bring to school especially when commuting. What I like about this computer shop is it's fast internet connection and well maintained computer units, despite having a Windows Vista operating system up to this date. Although, I think they should upgrade their OS already, their computers haven't failed any of my usages yet, so I guess there's really no problem with that. I even go to Isko until now whenever I had to upload some huge file on the net. My "12 hours remaining time" of uploading at home is just minutes of waiting time with this computer shop. It definitely makes my computer life efficient up to now! Most people who go here use computers for academic and professional purposes, (I'm not sure if they allow gamers here but I haven't seen one in any of my visits) that's why it has a somewhat library feel, perfect for writing and researching. The staff in Isko is also commendable for being professional with work. You can count on them to trouble shoot any technical difficulties that you may have with the computer that you're using, plus, they're also very alert when it comes file printing and logging in and out of costumers. Rates are only P10/hour of internet, and around P2.00 - P5.00 for their black and white and colored printing. Really cheap compared to most internet shops in the metro. Everything in UP Shopping Center is cheap, anyway, so go there if you're looking for budget computer, photocopy and printing services.

This place has always been more consistent in giving you a peaceful, less heartbreaking experience with your banging out your paper to beat a deadline. It's probably how they've managed to survive staying in the prime spot of the UP SC. The place looks clean and straightforward and business-only even if the person beside you'd just be watching cat videos on Youtube, butyou will easily tune out his laughter while you struggle to contain your tears here. It's comfortable enough and you have a lot of breathing space to calm yourself down with while you juggle browsing your readings with one hand and trying to make your paragraphs look coherent with the other. You appreciate that they don't try to squeeze you in with photocopiers or bookbinding services, so you know you're just getting what you need: a cheap, proper internet connection, MS Office, and a reliable printer. Isko, Kompyuteran ng Iskolar ng Bayan is really just focused on your getting the work done, and you'd realize all along that their name is a tribute... to you.

However, you will find this warehouse far from empty and dark, as it will house all manner of office supplies, giving it the rather simple and self-explanatory name: "Office Warehouse". A great deal of school supplies can be bought from this shop, though it is not the place to go if you are looking for textbooks. However, with their wide selection of pencils, pens and paper, it may be an artist's delight. True to its name, this store also sells various office equipment like drawers, safes, tables and white boards. If it can provide those big items, of course, you will also be able to find small articles like stapler, folder, cds and cd cases, cd stickers, printer inks, and greeting cards. If you're shopping for your professional or business needs, I highly recommend that you visit Office Warehouse first. You may discover that all your needs are available in this shop!
