What’s new in Iligan?
Iligan City have been dubbed as the City of Majestic Waterfalls and the Industrial City of the South (I don’t know if the second one still applies since many of the factories were closed down). I love the place very much and I’m proud to still call Iligan/Lanao del Norte as home.
However, for those who are used to hanging out in the malls, Iligan City can be a bit boring: not a single shopping mall around and no decent theatre house. Only just a few years ago, some fastfood chains (Jollibee and Chowking) were put up. We even have to go to Cagayan de Oro City or Ozamis City to find better and wider-range choices of stuffs.
All we have are department stores such as Gaisano, Jerry’s and Trendline. No store bigger than Gaisano’s 3-storey building. But I guess everything will change now. Much to the excitement of the people of Lanao del Norte (and me!), the Gaisano Mall construction is on the way. And it is rumored to open on December!
I hope it would really look like this one… but then, anything that’s higher than a 3-storey is more than we could ever hope for. ^-^ (This one’s a 6-storey, by the way.)
Hehehe… excited intawn ang probinsyanang si Inday Shiera… ^-^

@lord manila stone
really? you like gaisano mall? But then I bet the under-construction Gaisano mall would be much better than the current Gaisano department store… ^-^
If you have the chance to visit Iligan, be sure to visit Tinago Falls and the Timoga Spring Pools. ^-^
