So, I came through twice during my recent PI visit.
THE FIRST TIME:
We should have checked first. The crowd was annoyingly (and unusually) huge, especially in the middle of the afternoon in the middle of the week. It got to the point we couldn't walk a few stops without bumping onto complete strangers every second or so. Big Bro and I along with a couple other family members checked out a couple of stores, and we would have wanted to check out more, but with this crazy crowd, we decided to just bounce to the hypermarket (for groceries) and SM store (for basic necessities.)
Then we learned some famous artist named Coco Martin made an appearance and was clearly the reason for all that chaos.
I really wish they found a better way to control the flow of the crowd. I did not enjoy that visit AT ALL.
THE SECOND TIME:
Much MUCH better. Still crowded, but nothing like the madness we experienced the first time. I finally got the opportunity to see the mall for what it really is. They had good selections in the food court. They also had good selections of eateries. Same with shops. They maintain cleanliness overall.
Except for the horrendous traffic you'd have to go through just to get inside, it hasn't changed much since my last visit a couple of years ago. read more
