I was at Gen. Santos City today to ferry my boss there. Since it was already lunch time when we arrived, we decided to proceed to Robinson’s Place which coincidentally had its soft opening.
The first thing I noticed when we entered the mall was these decorations hanging from the ceiling. They look like Christmas lanterns (or parol). They are colorful and really make the place lively even though most of the stalls have not opened yet.
Robinsons’ Place GenSan is the biggest in Mindanao, occupying almost 4 hectares of its 8-hectare property along Jose Catolico Avenue, Barangay Lagao, Gen. Santos City. It will have its Grand Opening on October 5, 2009.
