How to find/buy mangas in the Philippines

Being in the Philippines sucks if you are an manga otaku at heart. But there are ways to buy any english mangas here..
1. Powerbooks bookstore: They have a nice collection of mangas for sale, I recently saw Full Metal Alchemist volumes being sold and I bought a One Piece volume three there (yay). Although a bit pricey, if you really really want it, price doesn’t matter, right?meh
2. National Bookstore: They also sell some (cheap but lame) mangas, but it has a program that makes it better than Powerbooks, and that is the Special Ordering. To put it simply, if NBS doesn’t have the book that you want, you can order it. There is a 50% downpayment and you get it after four week, But again, so what if you get it after four weeks as long as you have the manga that you really want. Also, you have the bragging right to have a book not sold anywhere in the Philippines.meh
3. One Manga: Well, it isn’t really buying..>.> But if you like to freeload alot and can access the internet on your free time then OM is the right place for you, You can read mangas online, plus it has a nifty forum where I am an active member (Username: Oink McOink). I’m not freeloading, you can call it “scouting for good mangas to buy”..meh
Well, there you go, I hope I helped you feed the Otaku hunger..lol.meh
