Pasalubong Shopping Just Got an Upgrade: Duty Free Philippines Opens Its Newest Store at NAIA Terminal 3
OFWs, balikbayans, and travelers — your last-minute pasalubong game just leveled up. Duty Free Philippines Corporation (DFPC) has opened a brand-new store at NAIA Terminal 3, located between Bays 6 and 7 of the arrival area, giving passengers instant access to luxury goods the moment they land.
The store, which opened on February 19, features a curated selection of wines, spirits, imported chocolates, and travel retail exclusives — items you won't find in your typical SM or Robinsons grocery aisle. Think specially bundled sets and gift-with-purchase promos designed specifically for the airport shopping experience.
"Duty Free Philippines has always been part of the Filipino homecoming story," DFPC said in a statement. "With this new Terminal 3 store, we are ensuring that the joy of choosing pasalubong — even at the last minute — remains part of that shared airport experience." Para sa mga nakakalimot bumili ng pasalubong sa abroad, this is your safety net.
The opening was led by DFPC Chief Operating Officer Patrick Joel Chico, along with key executives Richard Clarin, Leofredo Martinez, and marketing head Jake Liwanag. New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC) Deputy Head for Commercial Aileen Tan also attended, calling the store part of NNIC's broader modernization journey for the airport.
The move is part of Duty Free's strategy to strengthen its presence at one of the country's busiest gateways. With NAIA Terminal 3 handling a massive chunk of both domestic and international traffic, the new outlet ensures that the Filipino tradition of bringing home something special — kahit chocolate lang — remains alive and well.
