There is a very good gift shop here as well as that rarity in the Philippines - an excellent book store. I made a special trip here just to buy some history books. You can spend as much or as little time as you like here.

This was a great place to go to get gifts to bring home! Returning to Manila after a 41 year absence, my sisters, friends and I headed here for some shopping and were greeted with helpful clerks and fantastic choices with great prices. We visited several times during our 2 week stay and all of our purchases were packed well for our flights back home.

Reviewed By NDGM90 - Lutherville Timonium, United States
This a huge mall in Pasay city and has lots of activities to choose from. My family and I stayed in one of the hotels in the MOA complex in August and it was very convenient to walk to the mall but most hotels will shuttle you to and from the mall. Need a haircut or pedicure? They have it. Need to get something for your PC or Mac? They have it. Need a new shirt or pants? They have it. Hungry and looking for a good Japanese restaurant? Of course, they have it. This is a one-stop mall and there are a lot of high end brands and some local brands as well. The SM department store is also a great place to shop for bargains and the staff are so friendly and helpful, In fact, the friendliest and most helpful staff in the world. The place is clean and the mall security makes you feel safe. The security guards will quickly pat you down and the main entrance have K9 units.
