Business as usual in Davao City – is the description made by senior officers of one of the malls in the city, saying that mall goers remain unruffled by talks of terrors and the bombing of the Roxas night market in September of this year.
Ruby Ochoa, mall manager and Melissa Tanduyan, operations manager of Abreeza Mall of Davao on Wednesday said foot traffic has greatly improved in the city.
“Foot traffic has greatly improved since the start of Ayala Mall. We are now hitting 100 percent of our target,” Tanduyan said.
High hits of targets in foot traffic are usually achieved during weekends, she added.
As the restaurants continue to receive clients and mall goers, the stores, stalls and display centers at Abreeza Mall also enjoy the unruffled mood of their clients and customers.
The enhanced safety measures being implemented at the mall and the strengthened security measures being carried out by authorities in Davao City contributed much to the confidence of mall goers to go out and visit Abreeza Mall regularly.
Davao City was rocked by a deadly blast last September but the spirit of residents and its leaders did not vow to the threats posed by terror groups.
