J Centre Mall: A new shopping experience
You leave Cebu in a year or two, and you will be surprised with its so many changes especially its countless new skyscrapers, buildings, and establishments – including malls. One of the recent additions to the malls or shopping centres in Cebu is the J Centre Mall situated in AS Fortuna Mandaue, City (near Norkis).
J Centre Mall: A new shopping experience
The J Centre Mall opened in November 11, 2011 or 11-11-11. Such unique opening date for the promising enterprise makes it unforgettable.
For the best theater experience in Cebu nothing beats Ayala On-stage. The comfy seats and nerve wracking Dolby system surround will give you the most value for your money. Likewise, the excellent seating configuration can make everyone enjoy the movie in its wide screen glory wherever they are seated inside the theater. Its is clean and smells good. (more…)
Of the two big malls in the city, Ayala and SM, I think SM is more generous in providing their customers with ample parking space and that is for free. Likewise, their customer service is excellent not only they provide transport facilities to ferry customers from the parking area to the mall’s entrance. They also have “umbrella people” on standby specially during heavy downpour. These people provides shelter from the rain while accompanying you from the mall’s exit to where your vehicle is located. It is really a nice thing to know that we are pampered and that SM management should be commended for this.
Metro Gaisano Incorporated opened its first supermarket and department store in 1982. Since then, they have gone a long way and now have 6 branches operating in the Philippines. The chain of stores is known to be the place to find quality and affordable products both local and imported. Aside from that, you can also shop for basic commodities at the supermarket, where you can find the freshest fish, meat, vegetables, and just about anything.

Metro Gaisano Colon is among the first branches located right at the heart of Cebu, which is also the oldest street in the Philippines. This branch is somewhat part of Cebu’s history, which it was once one of the best places to go when you want to shop or go out on dates with your special someone. It still is a great place to find the cheapest products as well as finding sumptuous meals, which is located at the top floor of the vicinity.
The bustling streets of Cebu only show how it has developed through the years. With the Spanish colonization decades ago who would have thought that this city would come this far. The elders are known to be very meticulous and conservative, which became a huge block for change. As years passed by, modernization hit Cebu without a choice and instantly converted into a major player in the Philippine economy. Malls and business establishments began sprouting like mushrooms and industrialization has never stopped since then.
Cebu like other cities in the Philippines is rich with natural resources from white sand beaches to picturesque mountains. No wonder the Spaniards took hold of the Philippines during those times even other countries were very interested to grab this small island in Asia. As years passed by Cebu went on with the trend realizing that change is the way to prosperity.
Among other cities in the Philippines, Cebu is one of the best places to stay. Whether you are looking for a good place where you can find beaches and other tourist spots or a dynamic modernized city that gives easy access to business establishments, Cebu has it. Food has never been so easy to come by with an array of choices from the most expensive and exquisite to the cheapest yet delicious delicacies.
The heart of the City is surrounded by modern infrastructures like malls and international business offices that create an opportunity not only for the locals but also to expats. A day in the downtown area can be very enjoyable, walking around the Fuente Osmeña vicinity one can find cheap yet elegant hotels, bars and coffee shops just in case one should chill out.
