Robinsons Place: "Huge Shopping Mall" Iligan City, Mindanao, Philippines

Well we have finally got a shopping mall to be proud of here in Iligan City with the arrival of "Robinsons Place" We have waited a very long time for something like this to come to Iligan City, and i have been saying for a long time now that Iligan City is a city very much on the up, as many new businesses are opening here on a daily basis, and this Mall is already getting many people coming through the doors, and it only opened on Wednesday.. When i went to Cebu City and visited the SM seaside mall, which is the 6th largest shopping mall in the world, i said then that if this mall was in iligan City it would be full, because the seaside mall as grand as it is, was almost empty on a Saturday afternoon.. Our Robinsons Mall here in Iligan City also has a large hotel, and at one point i will book a room there just so i can show everyone what its like there.. One thing i would mention about this Robinsons mall that i didn't like, and that was the supermarket, it was much smaller than i had expected, and i was very disappointed with that, and i have heard
many other people around here saying the same thing, but this seems to be a common thing here in the Philippines with these large malls, and that is the supermarkets in them let them down, the planners should take a trip to England and see how Tesco runs a supermarket, and to see how a supermarket should be laid out, but apart from the supermarket this is one good mall, and i would recommend this Mall to anyone, but one thing i must also mention about outside this mall before you visit, if you don't own a car, and you live out of the area, you will have a job getting a taxi or Jeepney home, it took us ages to get a taxi as there does not seem to be anywhere for a taxi to park and collect passengers, and this needs to be addressed and fast, and getting a Jeepney is just as much a problem at the moment, we were so hot and dripping in sweat while standing outside in the blazing heat trying to wave down a taxi or Jeepney, and to be honest my journey home from here spoiled my day, so be prepared...
