People still go to department stores and restaurants to spend their money. It was an early payday weekend so the mall was more crowded. Sometimes, it would make you think that majority of those people are not affected by the crisis.

But do you know why Filipinos are fund of going to malls even if they have little money? Well, its up to you to know why and if you’re a Filipino you should know..

I list here the types of people who goes to mall that I know would make you learn where you belong.

1. Needs to buy something
2. Meet someone
3. Dating
4. Eat
5. Watch movie
6. Past time
7. Freshen
8. etc…
