  • In this video, I visit the Power Plant mall as requested in the comments of a recent video.
    After just a few minutes here, I can now understand why you all said to come here. This just might be the best decorated mall in all of Metro Manila, maybe the Philippines too!
    What do you think?

    Nice. I see you’re visiting powerplant mall. I live in Rockwell and it’s nice living here because it’s very calm compared to other malls except for the holiday season. During the holidays, it tends to get busy because everyone likes to go to see the decor and the lights. People tend to think Rockwell is a place of snobs but I’ve honestly never really had to deal with any. People tend to mind their own business here which I like. Anyways, keep up the great vlogs. I’m a new sub.

    That area is rockwell makati, a posh area of makati, condos in that area are much more expensive than BGC, poblacion is close to that, poblacion is an area like light red light district of makati, many restobars.

    Hey Matt that river is Pasig River it’s a major lifeline of the city not only of Manila but other cities it flows into like Makati where you’re at. Did you know that you can catch a river ferry near where you hung out and in just a few minutes you’re in Escolta/Binondo? You should try it some time. Beats the city traffic any day.

    The river is the historic Pasig river which until now is not fully rehabilatated. There is a schedule ferry transporting from guadalupe (makati) to escolta (manila) an alternative way to escape the bustling traffic of the metro. Rockwell area/power plant mall is more amazing at night when all lights lits on then you visit Ayala triagle garden there's a x'mas light free show from 6pm -10pm i guess.

The good thing about touring the 'Green Apples,' (clark cityfront mall; eastwood mall; makati commerce district; moa malls; venice mall; asiana malls; ayala malls manila bay; power plant mall; cobao mall; ortigas mall; etc). in PH is that ready-up hot food is within reach -- carry some finger foods while perusing thru sightseeing spots would not be a bad idea.

    Power Plant Mall is among the first high-end malls in the Philippines, most of the the stores there are designer boutiques. Located in Rockwell Center, the mall itself used to be an electric power-plant, hence the name. it is located in Makati though, but not sure if its part of brgy. poblacion, places like that is treated as a separate area from the barangay itself.

  • @wavemaker2077
    @wavemaker2077 Před 8 měsíci +1

    If there are malls that would rival the Power Plant mall, my bets would be the Podium in Ortigas and the malls inside the big casinos (Solaire, Okada and City of Dreams) in Entertainment City.
    You might want to visit those casinos. Not to gamble (though you can) but to look around. Their buildings are magnificent. You might also want to walk around Entertainment City. There are more constructions going on there than in Ortigas.
