“We also try to look into the area where we are and try to localize our operations, meaning for example in La Union, since the youth call it ‘Elyu,’ so we will do it differently in terms of architecture, in terms of tenancy mix,” he added.
Aside from this local expansion, the SM executive said they will also open another SM Mall in China, particularly in Yangzhou City located at the central Jiangsu province in the eastern part of the country, adding that they already have eight other malls in the East Asian country.“The Philippines is the sweet spot of Asia, I would say because of our population, our demographics is very young, the median age is very young. So, there is a lot of potential.
