    I am not too excited about Robinson's Mall as the owners are not from Dumaguete. This means that most of the profit will come from money spent by Dumaguetenios and environs and will go to the pockets of people in Manila(?). Maybe I'll window shop but I will surely patronize the Mom and Pop shops, the Duma public market and local businesses like Cang's who will likely spend their profits in Dumaguete. Just my opinion. I imagine RM to be like a giant vacuum cleaner sucking the financial juices from this area.

    That is a one sided view of it, and rather simplistic. If you look at the big picture, the development of other services and small ancillary bussinesses will grow the community, not drain its resources. Infrstructure improvements alone will benifit the area.

    From what nead posted
    looks like my predictions are true
    the mall will set the destruction ball rolling
    first the mall then a hideous 16 storey building and then its countdown to doomsday.
    even in countries like Norway with strict environmental laws they cannot control pollution of the sea from big towns
    Dumaguete still has no waste water treatment plant
    any growth is always thus going to be bad for the envt which comes last in economics.
    enjoy the clear waters of apo etc now
    they won't be there for long

    Robinson's in Tacloban is due to be completed by the end of the year. Wonder what that will do to their tourism....

    its a joke by rhoody:smile:
    As Archon says i hate all fast food junk
    its for kids and Americans with no class
    I like real food
    actually if you want good food thats served fast try Chicken Atihan
    its Philipino owned as well like Joes i believe so money goes back to the locals
    unlike MacSh*te

    The new Robonsons will only be worse I would suspect
    we would get even more crap Like TGI FRidays which is basically just a Macdonalds that tries to act sophisticated. Ie mass produced artificail food heated up in microwave and then they charge you with a hige overrpriced bill.
    Lets have more hayahays even with the long nose tax and restuarants like le chalet serving good quality fresh food with some ambience and class
