A busy place in The Philippines, particularly in Manila (the capital). This is where you find almost anything you need from legal to illegal. A lot of Muslim(and some rare non-Muslim) Filipinos are in here selling pirated DVDs and MP3s of all sorts. If you are looking for a cheap source of anything.. this place is probably for you.
This is also a bountiful place of snatchers, hold-uppers, kidnappers, and petty thieves. So if you are planning to hang in here, make sure you walk fast, always check your bags/luggages (or never bring them at all), and be ULTRA sensitive to the movements in your back. Bringing unecessary expensive gadgets here is highly unadvisable as sooner or later, it will end up in second-hand stores there where they would sell it for half the price.
This is also a good place to buy second-hand stuff... only if you know how to distinguish usable from unusable second-hand stuff.
A lot of Universities sit here too, like the Quiapo Parochial School...

Manileno: Hey! What are you doing there at my zipper!??!!
Thief: What the-- how did you??--
Manileno: I grew up from Quiapo you thief! I know all of your tactics!
Thief: Ohh.. that explains about everything...

Get the Quiapo mug.A quipportunity is the fleeting moment when a clever response is both timely, and funny.
Etymology: The word is an amalgam of 'quip' and 'opportunity' capitalizing on 1) the shared 'p' and 2) the fact that the 'portunity' portion of the word opportunity carries all of the meaning even without the displaced prefix.

I recently had a missed quipportunity when I told my sister that we saw the 2012 "Spider-Man" movie, and she asked how it was. I said it was "awesome," but the missed quipportunity was to reply, "Amazing" (since the name of the movie is "The Amazing Spider-Man").

Get the Quimpong mug.Much like the whippoorwill bird with its incessant call, the quippoorwill is a person who cannot stop quipping; one who endlessly quips, on Facebook and in person.
Neal: All this talk about the economy has got me depressed. I'm gonna go spend my last ten bucks on a six-pack of non-alcoholic beer and get 0.5% drunk.
Bob: No, don't do it!
Neal: I could probably pick it up at Whole Foods. Do you think they'll let me in without my North Face windbreaker and overbrewed coffee?
Bob: Dude, you're like a quippoorwill, or something...
Neal: I got more quips than Picasso got paint.
Bob: No, don't do it!
