Divisoria (Tagalog: [dɪbɪˈsɔɾjɐ]) is a commercial center in the districts of Tondo, Binondo, and San Nicolas in Manila, Philippines known for its shops that sell low-priced goods and its diverse manufacturing activities.

With no defined borders, Divisoria spans an area of about 0.5 square kilometers (0.19 sq mi) and is bisected by Recto Avenue.

It has gained a reputation for its poorly sanitized streets and poor-quality products but with the establishment of the Tutuban Centermall in 1993, the area saw the rise of other shopping malls that attracted by those from the higher classes.

[5] In response to commercial traffic and crime occurrences, Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada installed 137 new lamp posts along Benavidez and Asuncion Streets in the area.

[6][7] Sampled in a study, parasitic contamination of coins and paper bills obtained from selected public markets in Metro Manila has been reported.

[8][9] Having stood for five years at eight stories high, the building was located at the intersection of Padre Rada and Juan Luna streets.

The origins of Divisoria can be traced back to the Spanish Colonial Era when non-Christian Chinese traders were prohibited to live and do business inside the nearby Intramuros.

This led the ethnic Chinese to set up shop in Binondo which caused the area situated near the Pasig River to become a thriving commercial hub.

[16] The price of land in the area continues to rise, and with a growing population and economy, the demand for better living and working conditions grew as well.

[20] In further efforts to sanitize the Divisoria streets, Manila will replace all gasoline-operated pedicabs with electric tricycles (or e-trikes).

In relation to the lagay culture in Divisoria, there have been cases in the area wherein individuals have posed as authorities and requested either bribes or fees from vegetable dealers and vendors, as of August 2016.

Such individuals claimed to have been mandated by Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada to collect fees for a "protection racket" for particular locations in Divisoria.

As reported by the TFUC, various types of goods and services are sold in the streets of Divisoria, namely: (a) unprocessed food (fruits, vegetables) (b) processed food (tinapa, daing, longganisa) (c) prepared food (canned or cooked) (d) non-food/durable (furniture, car parts, radios) (e) non-food/non-durable (rubber sandals, garter, shoes, jewelry) (f) textile/clothing (T-shirts, curtains) (g) services (key duplication, fortune telling) While Divisoria is regarded as a shopping mecca for products sold significantly cheaper compared to retail shops, there has been the phenomenon of counterfeit, toxic, or otherwise hazardous products being sold in its malls.

[25] This is for the reason that toxic materials such as plastic additives that can disrupt the physiological development of children (e.g., malformed genitals for boys, early onset of puberty for girls) are present in the toy.

[26] In a screening process organized by the Ecowaste Coalition, 38 out of 225 samples contained a concentration of lead that is prohibited according to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
