Browse through R. Hidalgo St on Quiapo. This is my best option for cheap yet durable camera-related add-ons. Range is about Php750 to Php2000.

--EDIT--

The stretch of R. Hidalgo street provides numerous stores for cameras. Yes, you will be pretty vulnerable to hulidaps there. Be sensitive to your surroundings.

Usually the items purchased there in the stores are usually wrapped in newspaper to disguise holduppers. :) I once bought a lens for my Canon SLR there and I walked away in freedom, wahahahaha. :)

CD-R King might have the cheapest tripods and monopods. Check the bigger branches since not all branches would carry a complete line up of their products. Their website features a comprehensive list of products with corresponding prices. So far, I think the Lucky Chinatown branch might be their biggest branch to date. You can call different branches to check actual stocks.

For tiny tripods for desktop use, you will also find a few in Japan Home where everything is sold at P66 or P88.

Camera shops may also carry some inexpensive ones alongside the branded Manfrotto tripods. Check Camera Haus, Island Photo or Photoline in malls if you don't want to go to Quiapo. Island Photo has plenty of tripods in its Herrera branch. They are the official distributor of Manfrotto I think. They might have cheaper alternatives there.

Google the address and telephone numbers of these Quaipo camera dealers to ask for directions or to ask about cheapest tripods available: Watson's Photo, Henry's Camera, Mayer Photo, Fotohaus, JT Photoworld, Super East Asia's Canon Shop, or google related blog posts:

Tripods can help the photographer in many different ways. Most of the help comes from stabilizing the camera, resulting in crisp, clear, and blur-free pictures. But, added benefits such as enabling the photographer to get into the picture too, make having a tripod on hand a great idea.

Tripods come in compact desktop sizes all the way up to studio setups, and fit every type camera on the market from smartphone cameras to professional digital recorders.

Everyone from professionals, to hobby shutterbugs, and photo artists find many occasions where tripods are not only preferred, but necessary.

CDR king sir. They have all cheap versions of gadget accessories.

You can also search their branches on the website but basically they are all over the place.
