Industry observers note that malls in the Philippines are increasingly becoming lifestyle and entertainment hubs, with foot traffic driven by dining, events, and experiences rather than purely shopping. Retailers are responding by adjusting store formats and tenant mixes to match this shift in consumer behavior.
