Robinsons Place Gensan: Mas Maganda Dito!

Naitanong ko na 'yan sa sarili ko, pero I couldn't find the answer, until a big commercial complex entered, constructed and finally served hundreds of thousands of Generals and maybe millions of tourist around the country in GenSan. Ano 'yun? Halika't tuklasan natin.

I'm an avid reader of Skyscrapercity.com, it's a forum site dedicated to all city lovers, o 'yung minamahal nila mismo ang kanilang hometown, get updated with what's new in their compound. I found out that magpapatayo ng mall ang Robinsons Land Corporation. At ito ang natuklasan ko:

RLC or Robinsons Land Corporation is one of the country's largest premiere real estate players. RLC's growing portfolio covers various operations like shopping centers, high-rise condominiums, housing and land with residential subdivisions, office buildings and hotels in over 7,107 sprawling islands of the country.

GenSan, as the Tuna Capital of the Philippines, welcomed RLC to invest and put up a full-service mall that serves nearly 600,000 Generals and other neighboring towns in SOCSKSARGEN. Akala ko rumors lang 'yun. But they transformed it into a FACT.

After a year and a half of construction, tinawag itong ROBINSONS PLACE GENSAN, a full-service mall that only provides a world shopping experience. It opened last September 30, 2009. With over a hundred of local and national food and retail players opened its door to serve eager mall goers coming from local areas within SOCSKSARGEN and as far as Davao and Cotabato Region.
