Cubao Expo is a small but bizarre place located in Cubao Expo, 3 General Romulo Ave., Cubao, Quezon City, near Araneta City. Inside, you will find several vintage stores, cafes, thrift shops, restaurants, pubs, and bars. There is a beautiful round-shaped entrance sign board stating the entrance of Cubao Expo, and it’s definitely one of the most iconic sign boards along Cubao for its remarkable impact on society as being one of Metro Manila's most popular nightlife destinations. As a Gen Z, I’d always see people on social media visiting this place and jokingly labeling it "for aesthetic people’, and there was even a Cubao Expo starter pack that included wearing a maxi skirt, Dr. Martens, and being a Zild fan.

To be honest, I was quite surprised at how small the inside was. I was expecting a bigger place with more shops to discover inside, however, it did not disappoint my overall experience. As a film enthusiast, I went there because there were posters for some films I like, including my favorite, Lady Bird. Also, their floor designs and paintings are unmatched. Cubao Expo is like a small compound with a lot of unique spots and beautiful establishments. Here are some spots to check out inside the Cubao Expo:

• Silingan Coffee: Not only do they provide coffee beverages, but they also promote and raise awareness about several societal issues in the Philippines. They take a stand and embrace their platform as a coffee shop to contribute to our society and protect people.
