I have a different view on the mall closures. I was in Megamall earlier today and you could really see how devastated the workers were that the mall was closing. It was bad enough that they reduced shifts (from 3 to 1 per day), but now they lose work altogether.
Closed mall = no income. These are not people with paid leaves. No work, no pay. Bakasyon ka nga, wala ka naman pangkain.
If the malls continue operating, they remain almost empty but the workers at least get their daily wages. If the tycoons were truly altruistic, they would give a rental holiday so that tenants only have to pay wages as overhead and can operate with minimal revenue.
Unfortunately, it's the tenants and workers alike who suffer from the closures, while the capitalist mall owners still get their rental income.
