Where to buy an American Football in Metro Manila/Makati?

Going to Boracay on the 1st, looking to buy an American football to toss around on the beach. Last time I checked, Toby's doesn't have any. Anyone have any ideas of where to get one?

It might be easiest to have someone in the US buy one for you, deflate it for easy shipping, and send it to you in the mail. I've shipped similarly sized items to Europe, and while not as cheap as a letter, it isn't prohibitively expensive.

Sorry, just noticed your timeframe. Scratch my suggestion, as it would take longer than a week for it to arrive.

Did you poke around in SM, Ayala, Mall of Asia, etc.?

Actually, Toby's does have an American Football on their website.

Toby's is your best bet as they are the biggest purveyor of sporting equipment in the country. A list of outlets should help you, there are two Toby's in two malls right beside each other in Makati near the MRT station. Give the outlets in Park Square and Glorietta a call.
