Chinese pharmacy in Ongpin?

I'm looking for a shop that sold a Chinese herbal remedy called Anshen, small White tablets in a small White tub. It was from a pharmacy in Ongpin street amongst lots of jewellers. I need to give directions to somebody so they can get some more but I don't have the exact address! What I remember about the shop was that the counter was on the right as you walk in, it was on the shady side of the street (maybe south side then) and the roadway was higher than the sidewalk on the side of the shop. If anybody could give an address or cross street nearby that would be great! Thanks.

Update:

The time was early afternoon - we had just had lunch. It was definitely along Ongpin street itself, but as I'm not a local I don't remember exactly how we got there or away again. The sun was shining on the shop fronts of the raised side (ie opposite side) of the street.

I've not been able to find Anshen in any of the other Chinese pharmacys, either in Metro Manila or here in the UK.

    your clues for the direction are shady. You did not indicate what time it was as the shadows from the buildings might serve as a clue. So, maybe it is north , not south. Yes, there are those sidewalks where the street is higher and this extended almost in the entire ways of Ongpin Street.

    But what if the pharmacy is along Teodora Alonzo Street, ah, no, more jewelers are along Ongpin.

    As not to burden you more, there are many chinese pharmacist in big malls, not only in Ongpin.

    But if you insist in Ongpin,best is to have your somebody to ask that item around those shops as many would have such in their stocks.
