with stylish branding. With thousand of stores and stalls, one needs
more than a day to finish roving around the center. The shopping arcades
are usually crowded every Christmas as young and old people troop to
Greenhills not only to buy gifts and giveaways but also to witness the

versions of branded items as well as Filipiniana souvenirs.
