Of Malls and Text Messages

I had interesting reports last week ranging from malls, text messages to Thai investments. Likewise, I interviewed SM President Hans Sy and Metro Pacific Chairman Manny Pangilinan.

Mall story: Interesting to note that malls have become a vital part of Filipinos' lives. Everything is inside a mall nowadays, from shops, restaurants, cinemas to clinics, chapels, gov't offices, sports venues and many more. But malls also highlight the inefficiencies of gov't, who's supposed to provide clean and secured areas.

Text messages story: Are you texting less today compared to years ago? Has messaging apps overtaken your normal SMS service? An expert says, many Filipinos are using chat apps now, but he clarifies, it's not yet the death of text messaging, at least not for now.

UP BGC story: SM handed over the new UP building at the Bonifacio Global City. It's worth P400-M and will house some post graduate classes.

Thai investments story: Products from Thailand were showcased at the 'Thai Top Brands 2016' expo at the SMX MOA. Many Thai businessmen want to invest in PH, but some of them want PH gov't to improve ease of doing business.
