Building parking for cars will not decongest, it will attract more chinese students of dlsu to bring their cars.

Kung pwede lang pati yung Century park ni mang lucio kunin na ng gubyerno to make the whole block as forest/wildlife reserve.

Doon nalang sila magpatayo ng mga condo at Casino nila sa Pasay, PAranaque or reclaimthe shore of Cavite area tulad nyan double dragon at mga buildings na Chekwa din may ari at nakatira.

from what i vaguely recall,
the property was donated to the government by a private entity, specifically for a sports facility.
and my guess is, should the sports facillity disappear, ownership of the real estate would revert back to the donors.

it's the same Qulatilla that covers other deeds of donation to the government, currently being used for what they were donated and intended for.

others naman, were created thru acts of congress. and only congress can rescind them.

but i could be wrong. advancing age and all that.
if someone out there knows, feel free to chime in.

Same thing Camp Aguinaldo and Crame. It was donated by the Ortagases. The Government wanted to lease out the property ala BGC but was cut short by the return clause of the donation deed...

it appears, that return clause was a popular condition back then.
those castilioid families certainly knew some things about donating...

may nag-confirm,
"vendor-less day".
for once a month only, no vendors allowed.
the rest of the month, "it's every vendor for himself".
for photo op purposes siguro.

Di yan araw araw kags. Swerte na ang isang week.
My wild guess is di pa nababayaran ng asosasyon of vendors ang hininlhingi ng city.

And tama si doc. For photo ops siguro.

Philippine Retail Billionaire Plans Move From Fashion to Pets

Billionaire John Gokongwei’s Robinsons Retail Holdings Inc. is considering an exit from the fashion business as it struggles to compete with cheaper, faster chains like Fast Retailing Co.’s Uniqlo.

The Filipino retail giant, whose fashion portfolio includes the Topshop and Dorothy Perkins brands, instead sees better returns from pet, health and beauty products where demand is growing, said Chief Executive Officer Robina Gokongwei-Pe in an interview.

“We are shrinking fashion, for it has become very difficult,” Gokongwei-Pe said. “There are other brands that came in who are more progressive and cheaper. We are already reducing the number of stores and we have to think if we move out altogether.”

The Manila-based company is relooking its business as it faces shrinking operating margins and growing competition in the low-cost space. It’s pivoting into wooing higher-spending consumers by entering into the premium grocery market, as well as expanding foreign franchises in beauty products and pet care, hoping to achieve 15% revenue growth annually for the next five years.

“Pets have become very big,” said Gokongwei-Pe. “Dogs now are very spoiled. Just look at Instagram and Facebook, it’s all about dogs. You should put money where the money is, which is food, drugstores, hardware, and growing businesses like pets and beauty.”

Robinsons Retail’s fashion portfolio has contracted to six brands and 40 stores at end-2018 from nine brands with 60 stores in 2014. Fashion is among the company’s specialty shops, which were cut to 341 in March from 387 at end-2018.

The company in December bought the local franchise for South Korean personal care and beauty products retailer Arcova and Club Clio, adding to 15 stand-alone stores selling Elizabeth Arden, Shiseido and Benefit Cosmetics. It also procured the license for Singapore’s Pet Lovers Centre in October and plans to open a second outlet as early as this year.

Targeting Affluent Shoppers

Under a five-year plan targeting mid-to-high teen revenue growth, Robinsons Retail will spend between three billion pesos ($59 million) and five billion pesos to add 100 to 150 stores a year, according to Gokongwei-Pe. The retailer has 1,911 stores in various formats, excluding 1,960 outlets of its The Generics Pharmacy.

Revenue contribution from supermarkets will rise to 55% this year from 47% in 2018 after its acquisition of former rival Rustan Supercenters, whose 36 supermarkets cater to affluent shoppers. Robinsons Retail’s own 160 supermarkets cater mainly to mainstream consumers.

The acquisition and other new stores will improve gross profit margin by 10 to 20 basis points this year, said Gokongwei-Pe.

Operating margin, which fell below 5% in 2018, will shrink further due to write-offs related to the Rustan purchase. It will “definitely” improve in 2020, when the integration is completed, she said.

Other highlights:

A foreign executive has been hired to manage Mini Stop, which has potential to double its 5% sales contribution in 2018, if the convenience stores are “scientifically” ran.

Robinsons Retail is considering creating its own e-commerce app for its supermarkets to fill the gap left by Honestbee’s closure in the Philippines. It may start from scratch or expand Growsari Inc., a grocery delivery service for mom-and-pop stores.

The closure of Honestbee caused a dip in supermarket sales and will impact this year’s performance as same-store sales growth could have been 4.2% to 4.5% instead of 3%

Does that mean more dogs on Malls? Maybe they should start establishing good manners for bringing dog at Malls. 1st of all don't place your dog on top of dining table. Or no feeding the dog using the dinner plates on a restaurant. And a barking dog especially in closed space of Malls is annoying, take that dog outside or to the parking lot.

yan nga nakakabwisit. Pinauso ni ayala yan eh. Naalala ko dati sa bgc year 2010 ata yun, pucha aso pinapakain ng steak. Grabe naman kaparis hilton ito mga noypi. Magdala na rin ako ng sawa para kainin yang mga aso.

Much better segregation. May area lang may pets sa mall para doon sila magbolahan. Tapos pag naka-kagat ng toddler yan eh yari kayo sa parents ng bata. Baka magkapatayan pa sa mall dahil sa kagaguhan na yan.

The only pets na allowed sa mall are security dogs k9 handled by a military man.

Pets store dapat sa labas nakapwesto entrance.

[madball]

^Hahaha. Mahirap magdala ng sawa, mabigat. Cobra na lang dalhin mo. Tig-iisang tuklaw lang ang mga yun.

Gawin mo mga ginagawa ng ibang may dala ng aso. Nilalagay sa stroller. Takban mo ng lampin para hindi halata na sawa. Pag may mag pe pet na ng sawa mo saka mo tanggalin yung takip.
