Shopping in The Visayas

  1. A

    Ayala Center

    A six-storey dome, you’ll find most banks, airlines and tour companies represented here. There are also European and American label boutiques, restaurants, bars, health spas, cinemas, every fast-food chain imaginable, games halls and even a child-care centre, which makes you wonder if some people ever leave this place.

  2. SM City

    The pièce de résistance of shopping malls. You can organise travel and banking, and cover all other necessities in a place big enough to have its own government and currency. Those planning to do adventure sports can get outdoor supplies and equipment at Habagat on the ground floor.
