Foreigners Never Seen A Mall Like This! Not Click Bait

[@naniepahuwayan9406]

Is that really ILOILO now? I can't hardly believe how progressive the province/ the city this day. Wow, Wow, Wow! I want and truly love to visit that incredibly beautiful and peaceful place soon. THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR AND MAM for featuring such BEAUTIFUL CITY IN THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PHILIPPINES.

[@CollosalTrollge]

Not really cost friendly anymore, i would say without a power-currency such as UAE USD GBP etc... its very difficult for locals, its not cheap or affordable as many many foreigners put it - Even if u dont live a lifestyle of a foreigner, its not so affordable. Many places are over priced in my opinion.

Philippines is one of the most underrated countries, absolutey an hidden gem

[@puckster61554]

We moved to the Philippines Sept 2010 and love it here

[@ernestdmenace3200]

And Iloilo City is also one of the most underrated highly urbanized city in the Philippines. Its not even usually part of the tourism circuit promoted by the National Gov.

[@hajtomjones4077]

@@ernestdmenace3200 this is because of politics. Iloilo tends to go for progressive politicians and policies which are counter to traditional politicians that are focused on rent seeking policies for corruption. The city was attacked by the previous administration for not supporting their drug war to name a few. Progressive national candidates usually always wins in Iloilo. Sadly these progressives find it hard to win.

Those are nice bath tubs.. I saw one around 30k but now it got lowered to 7-10k at HMR(hyper market) in jaro .. you can check out their website.. they sell some second hand stuffs from US. my uncle owns a kayak rental business in oton he buys kayak in that place.. I recommend you visit that place.

I'm blown away - this is right on your doorstep!! Wow 👌 Everything you will ever need and more. Really well made and layed out perfect. Could spent hours just browsing. Very nice indeed my friends, very nice indeed 👍 👌 😀

[@cdl6953]

I used to not like malls but I appreciate them now. It’s the convenience of finding things in one place and in a way serves as entertainment value when shopping around and discovering things. So many franchise from local and abroad that anywhere you go in places where there is a mall outside Manila is almost as good as. The malls also bring people together meeting friends there and eating out or just walk around or watch a film or play in the arcade.

[@denniszenanywhere]

I like malls in the Philippines. They have everything. But in the States for 20 years now and you can't make me go to the mall.

the road going to oton from that mall has lot of native restaurants maybe 2 minutes from vista mall.. and also there is a wet market near those restaurants..

Vista Mall opened on May 17, 2018, but they just recently expanded and launched a new wing and introduced its 10 new retail concepts on October 21, 2022. I've been there once before coming here to Canada in 2018, it's outside the City, but it's a really nice mall❤️

Fixtures are usually found in specialty stores like Wilcon Depot or City Hardware. You're gonna love it there! Both are along Diversion Road. Department stores that have these items usually sell them for about 150% - 200% of the depot prices.

[@WendellofIloilo]

My wife is convinced that the Noname store is being mispronounced (by me too). She thinks the Japanese pronunciation is No-naa-me. The AllHome portion of the mall has been around for a few years (prepandemic) but construction halted. The furniture, home decorations, construction items (tiles, etc), as well as the upstairs portion (including the theater space), and the grocery are the original stores. The portion of the mall you filmed initially (including Noname) are indeed very recently opened. It is a high-end mall (meaning more expensive), but quite attractive and with some good, quality items.

[@chesfern]

NO NAME is pronounced NOO NEEMU (NO- NE-MU) in Japanese.

It's interested to see that malls are still thriving there. Most of the ones here have become like ghost towns; just empty shells where stores once were. Amazon has destroyed them in the same way the red box and Netflix killed the movie rental business.

[@cutiebellacat4720]

We have a lots of modern malls in the Philippines. Our malls do not just focus on items like gadget,clothes, restaurants, furniture etc. You can find almost what u need in our malls like beauty clinics,gyms,an opd clinic, dental clinic, spa and massage, veterinary, all kinds of entertainment likes rides, bowling center, ice skating area, massive supermarkets, pharmacies and a lot more. Besides thats, they provide a nice outdoor area like parks where you can just sit and relax. Thats why I guess, malls here in Philippines are thriving well.😊

[@vinzclavz982]

Go to the Philippines you we'll know why malls here are thriving.. Netflix Amazon? Not in Asia ..🤣

[@quackersna]

@@cutiebellacat4720 that diversity is probably a key factor. When I lived there I would go to the mall frequently just to only go to the grocery store. That sort of thing doesn't exist here. The price of renting retail space in malls here would make the groceries so expensive that no one would shop there.

[@quackersna]

@@vinzclavz982 isn't Lazada pretty much the same thing as Amazon?

[@pokerbarloahavia]

@@quackersna yeah but most of the products in lazada if it isn't made in china are bought from snr our cosco here or the mall and marked up by Filipino online entrepreneurs. If the big companies start supplying directly to Lazada like they do amazon that's when our malls retail store will die but yeah the other stuff will still keep the malls alive.

I still cant believe that SM City in Iloilo DOES NOT have a proper parking facility / parkade building structure....on the same side as the mall. That parking lot they have is inefficient. Robinsons Jaro has a proper parking facility but nothing inside the mall sadly - mean figuratively, not enough options i feel

[@BiancaBeyond]

They need much more spaces

[@pulgargrind]

Vista Mall is very nice ... but that grocery store is very PRICEY. We found it was easily comparable to what we pay here in Aus, minus the quality - but it's handy when you need certain things and are willing/have the capacity to afford it. Maybe that's why there are no lines hmmmm ...
