lalong lalaki plastic bags nila nyan. bi ba sa ilalim nung malaking SM e naka-print lahat ng branches nila.

imo.....

cons- maraming mamatay n small and medium scale enterprise
- traffic, laging masama ang planning ng sm lalo sa traffic...sa sm at robonsin's sa sanfernando hindi gaanong maayos yung planning niya sa labas...just to think na isang company lang nagmasterplan sa dalwang malls.

pros- ofcourse it generates more jobs.
- hindi n nagsisiksikan s sm mega or north ang mga tao...so less traffic sa manila.
- decentralization ng development....seems na pag may sm sa lugar mo eh parang papaunlad n sya....although psychological lang siguro.

boybi,

Saan sa Tarlac magtatayo ng SM. Parang madami na ngang mall sa Tarlac City, di ko maisip kung saan pa sisingit yung SM duon. Yung Luisita Mall nga nakakalungkot pumasok dun, may mga stalls na walang occupant sa 2nd floor. Although I really just go there to visit Tactical Corner

Also, pabor ako sa pagpapatayo sa SM Carmen, at sana may National Bookstore outlet dun. Right now I have to travel from Urdaneta to Dagupan just to get decent books since we don't have a respectable book store in our city. The downside of having an SM in Carmen, Pangasinan is it will add to traffic congestion if it is located along McArthur Highway

mikey177, sa may tapat ng Tessie's Grills & Roasters.

SM City Bacolod now building on their 220,000sqm lot at the Bacolod Reclamation area.

More on the positive side than negative.

mikey177, i was informed that the sm hypermart in carmen will be located on the lot adjacent to the airstrip.

boybi, talaga bang dun sa tapat ng tessie's yung sm tarlac? siguradong sisikip ng traffic duon!

yup. ngayon pa nga lang medyo masikip na, what more kung andyan na ang SM. buti nalang tapos na gawin mga bypass roads.

i suggest na pag natuloy ang sm dpat gumawa ng bypass road to the right from manila, ang bypass na ginawa is to the left from manila, i suggest that the irrigation road must be rehabilitated,tutal its a govt road so mas ok na din kung ayusin nila,it would at decongest traffic in a way if sm construction will be pursued upon

**diesoline** · May 18th, 2006 10:53 PM

may bypass roads na pala. kelangan ng malaman mga yun. it will come in handy if ever the time comes. buti na lang most of my trips thru tarlac are in the early morning.

yung sm dito baguio is relatively smooth naman ang vehicular traffic. pero kung nagdatingan mga tourists during holidays, nakupo...

**boybi** · May 18th, 2006 10:54 PM

cutedoc, tapos na yung bypass road dun sa may tapat ng vortex. bali daan ka dun sa may holy spirit, or pwede ka na mag right anywhere after toyota if you're coming from manila.

kung dun ka sa bypass sa tapat ng honkee, pwede ka naman pumasok na agad sa gate 1 ng SSV tapos labas ka nalang dun sa bypass mismo going to fairlane.
