That's the point, for TriNoma to look like an eye sore when you're in the SM North EDSA area. You think they would beautify that part of their building? It would just draw more people to SM. :-) Who cares what it looks like from behind, what matters are the interiors and it's main facade.

Is that elevated pedestrian walkway connected to that mall? SM city mall?

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4038/4461742459_6bc6437fb9_b.jpg

^^yung pink footbridge, papuntang SM City North EDSA.

I think based on the picture, the walkway on the left you are referring to is the MRT-LRT loop railway tracks underconstruction.

Ang bilis nagdeteriorate ng TriNoma. I came here in Manila around 2007, the whole mall at that time still looks fresh, but now, yeah, it turned out to be a big, ugly factory with the ever-present dim interiors. Naging masa-friendly nga siya but outside, it looks dayumn unpresentable.

They'd better clean the mall itself. Even the exhaust fans are turning black.

^^trinoma looks good...
but I still think sm north edsa looks better...:)

I'm just annoyed with the bridge pathway they're linking to the condominium units they're building. It's like they're invading public space. I might be wrong because they just bought the Golden Acres space, but they're crawling all the way to the DSWD school nearby.

It has elements from The Interior Zone and The Annex.
Also, Observation Elevators! Skylights! :)

Compared to it's current and humble beginnings...

translation: SM sends letters to all tenants before their contract with the mall expires... "following our new design parameters is prerequisite to the renewal of your contract with us" or in other words: renovate or scram :lol:

when cyberzone transferred from the carpark to the annex... ganun din. "your contract expires on this date, but you can avail of spaces in the new cyberzone." i'm sure those IT tenants at SM Fairview already received letters in that same tone since Cyberzone is coming. ;)

Just imagine how rich you should be to open a boutique at SM. you should have contingency funds when you get these types of requests from them :lol:

but there's something ali-mallish in the redesign of SM North... i just can't put a finger on.. it looks nice!

Actually gusto ko ang pagkadim sa loob ng TriNoma. Tamang-tama lang, hindi masakit sa mata, at hindi din naman madilim to the extent na mahihirapan kang magnavigate to your favorite shops. :)

that's normal... all malls do that (esp the big three)

Does anyone here have photos of SM Hypermarket North Harbour?

SM Hypermarket North Harbour Serves 1 million Consumers
May 30, 2010, 12:55pm

SM Hypermarket North Harbour is now open, revitalizing shopping in the world’s most densely populated area. Serving approximately a million consumers in the bustling neighborhood of Manila, Navotas and Caloocan, SM Hypermarket North Harbour provides them with a holistic shopping experience where most shopping needs are satisfied in one go.

SM Hypermarket North Harbour has its own “modern wet market” in its Fresh section where consumers can shop among the variety of wet products offered in a more convenient setting—an air-conditioned place, clean aisles and precise weighing scales. Shoppers can also find toys, apparel, appliances, home furniture and techie gadgets. In addition, they can also go to Watson’s, Ace Hardware or Western Union for their medicines, home repair, or money transfer needs.

Consumers can also settle bills, exchange foreign money, and even take home roast chicken from the Rotisserie nook and fresh bread from the bakery stand. They are also given novel alternatives through the affordable house brand SM Bonus, which has over one thousand items to choose from, and the takal-takal section, which enables consumers to pick the ingredients they want at preferred and affordable quantities. Moreover, caterers and carinderia owners can get their supplies of meats, sauces, condiments and other ingredients found in the Big Packs area at very affordable prices.

Employment for locals, community outreach

When SM Hypermarket North Harbour opened, employment opportunities for the community were created. Local talents were tapped to build their career in SM, one of the biggest conglomerates in the Philippines. SM Hypermarket also gives small and medium enterprises (SMEs) a chance to showcase their products during the weekend bazaar as it allocates a certain area for SMEs to display and sell their products.

In effect, SM Hypermarket is now a community concept, reaching out to nearby barangays through various events and programs such as cooking demonstrations, songfests, and dance contests. This year, SM Hypermarket will be turned into a community store, not just a place to shop, but a place that shoppers can call home. This transformation happens as SM Hypermarket invests in people and business partners by providing jobs for the locals and business opportunities for SMEs in the community.

Yung sa Buendia /South Superhighway , dating Makro din yun na ginawang SM Hypermarket . Hopefully yung MAKRO Sucat /East Service Road Muntinlupa i-convert din , if not an SM Hypermarket , maybe a full fledge mall since it has quite a big space also and timely now that the Skyway Stage 2 is nearing completion and ang daming developments mushrooming on that area like LakeFront Central , Tribeca and South Escalades Robinson

Broadway Centrum is in Sta. Mesa and it is not a mall, it's a studio compexna may sm savemre market and mang inasal. doon nagshshoot ang Eat bulaga at Walang tulugan with the master showman. It's not a mall. No Offense!!!:)


ot. di na sa broadway centrum ang master showman, lumipat na sila sa gma network center.

thanks....malaki nga

Hopefully yung MAKRO Sucat /East Service Road Muntinlupa i-convert din , if not an SM Hypermarket , maybe a full fledge mall
baka hindi nila gawin yun...
malapit lang sa sm bicutan yung makro sucat, walang pupunta dun pag nagyari yun...

baka hindi nila gawin yun...
malapit lang sa sm bicutan yung makro sucat, walang pupunta dun pag nagyari yun...

Not to mention, the only reason we go there is Makro. From Alabang, we go all the way to Sucat just to be able to save money by buying from Makro. We frequent other the supermarkets in our place, but our bulk shopping is usually done in Makro. If Makro becomes an SM Hypermart or a mall, there would be no reason for us to go there anymore... plus there won't be a nearby Makro anymore :P (We'll probably do our bulk shopping in Puregold instead).

As for the people in Sucat, I'm not so sure if they'd rather have an SM Hypermart than a Makro. If I'm not mistaken, Makro is still cheaper for those who buy in bulk like us.

Makro Iloilo has already closed as of last week, Friday to be exact... it might be the next branch among the 11 remaining Makro branches in the country to be converted to SM Hypermarket after North Harbor :cheers:

SM NoE’s 3rd level is now open. I will try to take some pics later.

so talagang circle na ang logo ng sm ah...

ot. di na sa broadway centrum ang master showman, lumipat na sila sa gma network center.

AFAIK Diz Iz It ang gumagamit ng studio ni Kuya Germs.

Guys i heard ( well' a long time ago ) that SM Megamall will be renovated too pero parang walang napo-post ng pixs dito ( sorry baka hindi ko lang makita pakipost yung link :nocrook: ) Hindi ko alam kung natuloy sa damin ng projects ng SM or kung under construction pa. It is said they will occupy the whole parking area and they even fubbed it ( Megamall MEGA again! ) :cheer::cheer:

@ Eriq, tama sinabi mo... hehe... ganda naman ng SM Bacoor ah... ang susunod na gagawin ng SM ay paltan ang kanilang logo.. kasi dito sa province ng Batangas.. ginagamit na ng lubusan ang bagong logo kaya watch out the new logo on every SM mall in Metro Manila...

SM Prime to position Megamall as biggest
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
Chino S. Leyco, Manila Times



THE Philippines’ largest mall owner and operator said it plans to rebuild SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City into the country’s biggest shopping center.

On the sidelines of Sky Garden opening at the SM City North Edsa in Quezon City, Hans Sy, SM Prime Holdings, Inc. president, said the company will develop the 3-hectare parking lot in front of SM Megamall to expand the present gross floor area of the shopping center.

“After the renovation, SM Megamall will even be larger than North Edsa” Sy told reporters.

He also said the building of SM North Edsa, the company’s oldest mall in the country, will be also renovated this year. SM Prime said it plans to spend up to P2 billion to give the 25-year-old mall a new face.

Sy said SM North’s renovation will be completed by the end of the first quarter next year.

Of the P2-billion earmarked for the project, P600 million was already spent for the development of Sky Dome, a concert venue which may accommodate as many as 1,500 people, Sy said. In addition an IMAX theater will also be built within main the building of SM North.

AT present, SM Prime has one IMAX Theater at the SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City, which is built for P300 million.

After the redevelopment of the entire shopping center, Sy said SM North will have a total gross leasable area of 445,000 square meters. The mall contributes about 12 percent to 13 percent to the entire revenues of SM Prime.

This year, the company is planning to open SM City Naga in Camarines Sur, SM City Rosario in Cavite and SM City Pamplona in Las Piñas. The mall operator is also set to expand SM City Rosales in Pangasinan.

By the end of the year, SM Prime will have 36 malls nationwide and three malls in China—SM City Xiamen, SM City Jinjiang, and SM City Chengdu—with an estimated gross floor area of 4.9 million square meters.

SM Prime has allocated P5.5 billion in capital outlay for its projects in China and P6.5 billion will be for the Philippine malls.

@ Eriq, tama sinabi mo... hehe... ganda naman ng SM Bacoor ah... ang susunod na gagawin ng SM ay paltan ang kanilang logo.. kasi dito sa province ng Batangas.. ginagamit na ng lubusan ang bagong logo kaya watch out the new logo on every SM mall in Metro Manila...
ako yata nagsabi nun ah...:) nasa post #579 (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpost.php?p=58121555&postcount=579)

Hi pinoyako2010! Thanks a lot for the post! sabi na nga ba parang may nabasa akong article na re-renovate yung MegaMall. But parang natabunan yata wala na akong nabalita tungkol dito...does anybody got any updates? construction on-going, time line etc? yung article kasi parang naging teaser lang tapos SM North na yung the rest:dance2::dance2::dance2::dance2:

^^di pa sinisimulan yang expansion na yan...
nirerenovate pa lang ang interiors nya...

tama.. ayos lang naman yung SM bacoor..btw, akala ko dati parang flowers yung ilalagay doon sa exterior.. haha.. may nakita kasi ako sa previous thread na update sa renovation noon ng sm bacoor..
wii.. wala na yung Triplets na mall.. :) SM perbs, Bacoor and Iloilo.. hehe

BTW napansin nyo ba na naglelevel up ang SM City Fairview.
Napapansin nyo ba sa mga nakalipas na buwan yung tarpaulins ng "Catch them Live!"
sa ibang malls Color blue ang gamit nila pero sa SM Fairview Orange
Pero ngayon nag bago na talaga hindi na Catch Them Live pinalitan na ng "What's Happening?" na kulay orange ang font color
SM Mall Of Asia, SM City North EDSA, SM Megamall, SM City Davao at SM City Fairview palang ang hindi gumagamit ng "Catch Them Live" at sa halip ay may sarili sialng style

*wala lang napansin ko lang

^^ may picture ka? patingin naman .. :)

Wala eh. pero inaabangan ko na yung sa smsupermalls.com

I think India's Malls ar far better than those in Manila...just visit their threads and you will see how beautiful their malls are from the outside and the inside. sana ganun din designs ng mga malls sa atin

may trusses na nakainstall sa wave roof ng sm fairview, mukhang tatakpan lang nila
yung wave tapos irretain yung glass pane ng 3rd floor...

I think India's Malls ar far better than those in Manila...just visit their threads and you will see how beautiful their malls are from the outside and the inside. sana ganun din designs ng mga malls sa atin

Really now?? is it??:? Can you post some pixs here so we can make some comparisons? India malls has good designs but still not that superior to our malls pati hindi ganun kalalaki at kadami ng attractions nila compare mo sa mall natin so maybe theres still some convincing needed

I think India's Malls ar far better than those in Manila...just visit their threads and you will see how beautiful their malls are from the outside and the inside. sana ganun din designs ng mga malls sa atin

IMO, i think philippine malls are still better...:)
maganda na yung design, ang dami pang amenities

@thethirtysixth, mag-update ka naman, di pa kasi ako pumupunta sa loob ng sm fairview...

@pinoyako2010 hindi ako makakapagupdate hanggang katapusan ng June. kayo nalng ni Stanleymalls ang inaasahan ko sa SM Fairview :D

^^gusto nilang madaliin yung renovation ng cinemas para mabilis nang mabuksan...

Tapos nang irenovate ang Cinema 7-9 pero hindi parin bukas. Or may mga pahabol pang changes. or bka isa dun sa tapos ng i renovate ay For upgrade na

heto yung mall nila na maganda ang design.

^^parang medyo weird ang design nya...

parang ka ngang nag-momodel papasok pa lang eh...combination of native indian design in a modern setting....dapat ganyan malls sa atin...kahit maliit lang at least maganda tignan sa labas hindi eye-sore at di masyado malaki

heto yung mall nila na maganda ang design.

for me, di ko sya gusto. kahit sa pinas yan nakatayo i'd still say baduy. no offense meant just my opinion.

that indian mall's more of an eye-sore than the current malls we have here.

Maligayang kaarawan sa mahal nating Lupang Hinirang!!!

^^somehow the design reminds me of Rob starmills... IMO mukhang hindi talaga papatok yan sa Pilipinas especially if its not managed by the big 3 mall operators... baka magmukhang Uniwide coastal kalalabasan nyan just months after opening.:lol:

This appears to be too eccentric.. no character.. pero sa china baka ma-appreciate pa yan..

same opinion here. sensya na sa mga nagagandahan pero IMO pangit talaga ang concept. Hindi ako architect but then sasabihin ko na ha, wala kasing harmony yung curves and corners nya. heheh peace po.

If one considers that mall as having "good design" then I humbly suggest an eye check-up.

heto yung mall nila na maganda ang design.

Eccentric concept. No offense but the design is really kitsch. Probably there are better variants. Let me visit the thread.

teka teka...
di ba MMMM Thread ito, eh bakit international malls ang pinaguusapan nyo???

^^Wala lang :crazy:

BTW, kakabukas lang nung extension ng SM North. Haven't taken pics in it.

Grabe halos magtatatlong taon na akong di nakakadaan sa thread na 'to.

Tip to SM on their home line: sobrang lakas ng aircon niyo, I think it would've been better if you'd convert it into a more lucrative part of the mall.

^ True.

And based on the pic posted, I can confidently say na mas may maibubuga pa ang mga WalterMart malls natin :lol:

^^ I lurked to the thread. The mall in question there is called SRS Mall.

Nope, don't like the mall. I still find our malls a bit cooler.

OT: Sinj, so you're friends with Wins... Hmm... :poke:

I also don't like the design of that mall you posted. Even our malls outside Metro Manila can beat that....

Super budgeted? If it is, then it is a big waste of money.
Design-wise it's a fail. Too flashy with no concept. I cringe whenever I see the pic.
You can put the money to better use.

di nyo lang ma-apreciate ang super-budgeted designs kase...ano nga kaya ikinaganda ng mga super-giants na shoe boxes?

Only the old SM malls are super giant shoe boxes.

Honestly, I went to the Indian mall thread myself and saw that there actually are designs that are stunning, but the mall you posted just doesn't cut it for me. It looks like a generic mall in China (not that there's anything wrong with the design of their malls... they have a certain appeal, but they're just not my taste).

Now, obviously, design is always subject to taste. People from India might be ok with that design, but I think people here would settle for more minimalistic designs. I don't know any high-end mall in the Philippines that remotely tries to copy the style of the mall you said... this is precisely because we Filipinos generally won't find that kind of design "classy."

di nyo lang ma-apreciate ang super-budgeted designs kase...ano nga kaya ikinaganda ng mga super-giants na shoe boxes?

kung budget pa yan, sana di ganyan..eh ang design mukhang magastos at OA.anyone who says its nice (in the Philippine context) should seriously upgrade their taste :lol: malay ba natin if may kahulugan ang design nyan sa india pero if sa pilipinas yan, ang tawag dyan OA na walang taste :lol:

it's technically in sta. mesa but it's in san juan so let's just say sta. mesa, san juan...:)

SM Sta Mesa is in QC. but its in the border of Manila. its also very very near San Juan.

;58598409']Only the old SM malls are super giant shoe boxes.


^^even some of the newly built SM malls are still sticking to the "shoebox" type structure but incorporated some elements to make it look less "boxy".

IMO mas intuitive din kasi yung zoning ng SM by placing all tenants in a row than putting them around a central atrium (like rob and ayala malls).

SM Sta Mesa is in QC. but its in the border of Manila. its also very very near San Juan.
That's why SM initially named it SM Centerpoint. Center of everything, almost center of Metro Manila actually then they renamed it to a lousy SM Sta Mesa.

Sta.Mesa Market nuon yan.

Baka gawin na lang SM V.Mapa kasi mas malapit talaga sa landmark na V.Mapa LRT station :)

:banana:SM DIGITAL THEATER NOW OPEN AT CINEMA 7:banana:

FIRST MOVIE:TOY STORY 3D

I was able to watch Toy Story 3 in 3D at SM Fairview and guess what! they charged only 250 Pesos, that comes with a complimentary popcorn or hotdog.
that's almost 50% less of what you'll pay if you watch at The Block or TriNoma. I just hope that's not the introductory price.

The cinemas retained the same layout but with new seats and carpeted aisles. their seats i must say are better than the ones at Megamall or Mall of Asia. I just hope it's stink proof. It sports an interior similar to North Edsa's IMAX only in circles. and halatang they wanted to open the thing in time for toy story cause it's obvious that the cinema is not that finished.

but at least there are updated cinemas, and it will definitely affect ticket sales of nearby QC malls once all theaters are done kasi people in Fairview who prefered watching movies at SM North or TriNoma (admittedly me) will surely revisit SM Fairview.

^^ In SM Manila Digital Theater they only charge P250 when we watch How to train your dragon w/ free drinks haha

^ P250 din sa SM Cebu with free popcorn and drinks na. I think ang top 3 SM Malls lang ang mas mahal (MoA, N.EDSA, Mega) :)

^ Yup :). depende din ata sa movie yung libre. BTW medyo OT diba SM Cebu will have na a IMAX then yung digital Theaters w/ seat simulator na

ung Imax ba sa SM north kasing laki din ba ng imax sa SM moa? kasi ung dpa ako nakapasok sa north sa MOA lang

^^ IMAX North EDSA is smaller than IMAX Mall Of Asia

SM Cinema FAIRVIEW: hi renz! yes, our digital theater has seat simulators. we cannot answer if we will be having another digital theater. as of the moment wer really glad that we are supported by the people in our opening of the digital 3D.
sabi ng SM Cinema Fairview Page on Facebook

^ Yup :). depende din ata sa movie yung libre. BTW medyo OT diba SM Cebu will have na a IMAX then yung digital Theaters w/ seat simulator na

OT: yep, opening on June 30 kung wala nang delays. and yes, may seat simulators aka shaker seats din ang Digital Theaters 3 and 7.

I passed by SM Southmall last night and large parts of the mall have been boarded up and are now being renovated.

Robinsons to expand Galleria mall
LISTED developer Robinsons Land Corp. (RLC) is undertaking a major redevelopment project for its flagship Robinsons Galleria mall in Ortigas Center, in an effort to expand and modernize the shopping center.

In a statement, Gokongwei-led RLC said the redevelopment will expand Robinsons Galleria’s gross leasable area to almost 100,000 square meters (sqm) from the current 96,000 sqm. while the number of tenants will grow to about 450 from the current 395.

Full occupancy is expected by next year, RLC said.

“The ongoing redevelopment project will further enhance the appeal of our flagship Robinsons Galleria mall which is an integral component of the first mixed-use development in the area,” said RLC president Frederick Go in the statement.

He added that the mall continues to be the most strategically located since it is right at the intersection of Edsa and Ortigas Avenue.

Go said the project is also meant to meet the growing demands of its market which now includes working moms, employees of business process outsourcing companies, and residents from nearby residential condominiums and subdivisions.

“We are increasing space for retail outlets to make Robinsons Galleria more appealing to those who may want to look for a place to go to after work and also to accommodate new retail players and formats,” he said.

The bulk of the renovation and expansion works will be at the second level, including large areas currently used for parking, which will be developed into the Veranda. This area will have restaurants to cater to families during weekends and serve a place for professionals to hang out during weekdays and at night since these will operate beyond mall hours.

Renovation will also result in the creation of the Sports Loop and Jumpstreet, which are retail specialty zones catering to the active individuals and moms with young children.

The construction work will take a total of six months with the Sports Loop and Jumpstreet expected to be operational by September while the Veranda will be ready to serve customers by December or January next year.http://businessmirror.com.ph/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=26979:robinsons-to-expand-galleria-mall&catid=24:companies&Itemid=59

You totally misunderstood what I meant by minimalist. Minimalist, for one, is the opposite of over-crowding. Minimalist design is not about being minimalist in space, it's about being minimalist in design - the type of design that doesn't have too many things going on.

If you're contention of a spectacular design is something that is not minimalist, you are free to think what you want. Do know, however, that the issue of whether a design is spectacular shouldn't have anything to do with whether it is minimalist or not.

For more information on what minimalist design is, feel free to read up on it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimalism . You may also google the term and look for better sources on the net. :)

Two-decade-old Robinsons mall to get a facelift

GOKONGWEI-LED property developer Robinsons Land Corp. is redeveloping its flagship Robinsons Galleria mall in Ortigas Center until early next year.

The facelift is expected to keep the 20-year old mall in step with shifting demands of customers. Bulk of the renovation and expansion work will be at the second level, where the parking lot will be converted into a veranda that will have restaurants to cater to families during weekends. It will also be a "hangout place" for professionals, the firm said in a statement.

"We are increasing space for retail outlets to make Robinsons Galleria more appealing to those who may want to look for a place to go to after work, and also to accommodate new retail players and formats," Robinsons Land President Frederick D. Go said in the statement.

With the redevelopment, area for lease in Robinsons Galleria will expand to almost 100,000 square meters (sq. m.) from 96,000 sq. m. Tenants will also increase to about 450 from 395. Full occupancy is expected by next year.

"The ongoing redevelopment project will further enhance the appeal of our flagship Robinsons Galleria mall, which is an integral component of the first mixed-use development in the area," Mr. Go added.

The renovation will allow the mall to cater to new markets, which include working moms, employees of business process outsourcing companies, and residents from nearby residential condominiums and subdivisions, the firm said.

Under the renovation plan, the property developer will create a "Sports Loop" and "Jumpstreet," which will host retailers catering to the "active individuals" and moms with young children, respectively. A new technology lounge will also be opened.

The Sports Loop and Jumpstreet are expected to be operational by September while the veranda will serve customers by December or January next year.

The property developer has allotted P9 billion for capital spending this year, of which 40% will be for the construction of new malls.

Shares in Robinsons Land, whose profits dropped by 2.78% to P926.92 million in the first quarter, were unchanged on Friday at P14.50 each. -- Neil Jerome C. Morale

The Sports Loop and Jumpstreet are expected to be operational by September while the veranda will serve customers by December or January next year.

The property developer has allotted P9 billion for capital spending this year, of which 40% will be for the construction of new malls.

Shares in Robinsons Land, whose profits dropped by 2.78% to P926.92 million in the first quarter, were unchanged on Friday at P14.50 each. -- Neil Jerome C. Morale

SM group acquires prime property in Caloocan
Tuesday, November 3, 2009
Source: Philippine Daily Inquirer By Doris Dumlao
TYCOON HENRY SY’S SM GROUP has acquired a prime property in Caloocan City where an old Ever Emporium used to stand and use it as the new site of a P2-billion high-rise condominium development overlooking the Bonifacio monument.

In a recent interview with Inquirer, the tycoon’s eldest son, Henry Jr., who is vice chair and chief executive officer of SM Development Corp. (SMDC), confirmed that the group had bought the 5,000-sq.m. property, which SMDC will develop into a residential condominium but with some commercial component in the lower floors.

The property was bought from the family of Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office Chair Sergio Osmeña Valencia, who had leased it to budget shopping mall operator Jose Go for the past 25 years, Sy said.

Sy said SMDC would undertake the development of the property as a high-rise residential development in the area and would find a good market among households living in nearby flood-prone areas like Malabon, Navotas and Valenzuela.

Based on earlier reports, the unprecedented flooding in Metro Manila caused by Tropical Storm “Ondoy” has resulted in higher demand for high-rise residential units.

The SMDC chief added that prospects were bright for such development with the forthcoming extension of Metro Railway Transit 3, the elevated railway on Edsa, from West Avenue to Monumento. The extension will also pave the way for the linkage between MRT 3 and the Light Railway Transit 1 that runs from Monumento to Baclaran.

The group has yet to finalize a master plan for the Monumento property. The acquisition, however, was in line with its thrust of accumulating a significant urban land bank that could be used into residential developments to serve the growing demand for affordable housing.

The previous tenant operated in the site a 40,000-sq.m. multistory Ever Emporium, which was popular to low- to middle-income shoppers especially in the 1980s. It was the second shopping mall put up by Go after the shopping mall on CM Recto Ave.

The old Ever Emporium structure still stands at the original site now. But the change in ownership was heralded by giant tarpaulin posters on its main facade advertising SMDC’s latest condominium projects, complete with celebrity endorser Marian Rivera.

the last 3 days were the most craziest days for shopping addicts...

it all started Wednesday, June 30th, the start of the Zara Sale, then on July 2nd, a back to back event, The Topshop-Topman-Dorothy Perkins Private Sale and the grand opening of Forever 21 in Manila...

The 3 giants of retail did go head to head this week. SSI's Zara, Robinsons' Topshop and SM's Forever 21. ...so everybody's into specialty stores now! ahahahaha! I just hope those who love these brands still have money to spend for the next weeks. These events make Manila basically the unofficial shopping capital of SEA!

for those who are not aware of these brands please do check out their international websites. the guys who run these specialty stores do follow their franchise owner seriously that whatever they have on the international sites, we also have it here in some way or another.

@pinoy ako i think sinasabi nya yung sa bagong escaltors
