As we continue to grapple with the CoViD-19 pandemic, Christmas may not be the same this year, but still we gear up for the Yuletide season with shopping and savings galore. 

        At the Island City Mall, big discounts of up to 70% will be given away on great selections at the Home & Fashion Department and participating tenant shops in the 3-day Holiday Sale this coming December 18, 19 and 20. 

         Mall manager Mario F. Cirujales said shoppers, usually bargain hunters and budget-conscious customers, can at least have something to look forward to this Christmas as we continue to spread joy with optimism in these trying times. He added the sale is a sigh of relief for them in the face of the economic crisis.                

         The mall is expecting more customers during the sale, so Mr. Cirujales reminds the buying public to observe safe shopping at all times, as he assures everyone that at Island City Mall safety protocols are strictly in place and given the utmost priority. 

Alturas Mall will have a separate 3-day sale earlier on December 16, 17 and 18; while Plaza Marcela will have another sale on December 21, 22, and 23. Alturas in Tubigon and Talibon will both have 3-day sale on December 18, 19 and 20. All stores offer up to 70% discount on selected items especially at the Home & Fashion Department.    

       Meanwhile, The Prawn Farm of Island City Mall will offer a lunch and dinner buffet during the mallwide sale on December 18, 19 and 20. Lunch is from 10 am to 2 pm, while dinner is from 5:30 pm to 8 pm. Adult rate is P300, while kids are P155 (with a height below 4 feet and 6 inches) and P105 (with a height below 4 feet). Those with height below 3 feet are free. All comes with bottomless Iced Tea and Cucumber Juice. Strictly no food sharing, no take-out and no left-overs.    

Also, for every group of ten diners, there’s one free additional diner. A 30% discount is also given to any birthday celebrant of all ages. Just present any original and valid government-issued or company/school IDs bearing the photo and birthdate. In case without ID, birth certificate can be presented.

PROUDLY BOHOL PRODUCTS. Local exhibitors are proud to display their crafts and products in the Alta Bazaar & Foodfest, now going on until January 10, 2021, at the upper ground level of Alta Citta Mall.
