From November 14, the business hours of shopping malls in the capital region of the Philippines will be changed to 11: 00 a.m. to 11: 00 p.m.

On October 28, local time, Mel Carunungan, spokesman for the Philippine Development Agency (MMDA), announced that from November 14, 2022 to January 6, 2023, the business hours of all shopping malls or shopping centers in the capital area will be changed to 11: 00 a.m. to 11: 00 p.m.

Karunangen said that shopping centers will also be prohibited from holding promotional activities on weekdays, and all promotional activities must be reported to the Great Mins Department in advance so that the agency can send personnel to assist in traffic management.

With the arrival of the Christmas holiday, the Great Minh Department expects an additional 50,000 vehicles on the road.

In addition, the Philippine Police reminded the public to prevent the usual crimes against property, such as robbery and theft, during the Christmas period.
