#38 - my final review for the Philippines, PHEW!!
This grocery store is directly across the street from the Best Western Antel Hotel, where I stayed. It's also directly behind the small A-Venue Mall on Makati Ave. I couldn't ask for a more convenient location. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/sm-market-place-makati?select=o4ABUyqvPsHZ2fDi3khQiA

Even though my hotel room had a "kitchenette", there was no way to actually cook anything, so my "shopping" was limited to snacks and drinks. This is a good size store, bigger than a local neighborhood market would be and there's a good variety of stuff to choose from.
There is a good size produce dept.

Also a full service meat counter.

Here's something I was surprised to see, lights on every shelf!

There are even 3 small food-to-go spots near the entrance to grab some quick eats.
