Love watching ur blog...I’m married to a pinoy girl and live in the UK but we have a house in Malolos and spend a few months every year at our place. Your videos brings home all the feelings of living in the Philippines, keep up the excellent videos...Gerry & Luisa.
Hi Lot lot and husband, thanks for sharing this tour at Sm Mall, San fernando, I have never been to this new built commercial place so thanks for showing what we can seen inside.
This vlog is so chill, just a husband and wife checking out a new mall in the neighbor hood, I feel that I'am there with you, just along for the ride. thank you.
love watching ur vlogs,u guys have a very simple and adventurous life,when I retire I also will b buying a house and living my years out in the Philippines,hopefully nothing gets too expensive in 30 yrs time
Thanks for sharing! The SM mall I used to go when I come to visit is the one in Mexico, Pampanga. Now there’s another one in San Fernando more place for people to stay cool!
Hi Brian love your videos on the vehicles so interesting as time will be I will have to make some decisions on vehicles to what would be best for me . But this is great start thanks to you take care stay safe your friend did you ever do video on motorcycles, scooters would be very interesting also.👊🏻🇵🇭☘️
Once again Phil you are the man. I guess it,s because you were raised in Pennsylvania and I think you have a Philly connection too. Really thanks for all these awesome videos.
I always wondered why no mercury pharmacy in the sm malls now I know. the Cinnabon shop looks yummy I have a bakery shop down the road from me and they make a great cinnamon roll goes well with my dark Sumatra roast coffee great video love the malls especially when it's hot out.
hi I like you videos I been there a lot of times my wife she is from bataan in dinaluphian Philippines hoping to move there in couple years and see if we can meet you thanks for show you videos my wife like it too
I am a American married to a pholipina from lagespi city, we live in Santa Monica San Simon pampanga. Was that the new mall on McArthur hwy going towards angles city? Love to meet you both sometime. We will be staying here in the Philippines for Life, love it here, I have been here over 13 years now. At present we are remodeling the house, and added off grid solar to the house. ( No more brownouts and no more high electric bills.)
My wife and I used to get electric service here in Nueva Ecija from NECO(N.E Electric Cooperative)and they would'nt even give credit for holidays,if last day of payment fell in a holiday,you better be there to pay b4 because when neco opened after said holiday they will charge a penalty,Now we get service from CELCOR(Cabanatuan electric coo)and they have such a great service that it feels like you are in another country,a big and clean payment center,bathrooms,tv and a/c with bottled cold water and coffee😨.
The first shop he built was... ShoeMart, and was located at Recto st. Inside Divisoria Area... Then, after his eldest son married, he closed the shop and went opening his First mall... Which is still open... Its located in Carriedo Area near LRT-1 Carriedo station... And it is also the Smallest SM mall... The Biggest SM he has is at SMCebu...
Nice job Philly. Really interesting that so many malls are closing here in the U.S. but in P.I. and other Asian countries business is booming. Also, when the electricity goes off (brown out) in P. I. people flood to SM for the air conditioning. Last went to SM in Carmen in Pangasinan in May. Keep up the great work. Also caught your vlog from the Toyota dealerships. Excellent information.
Orlando Caballero. In the US, Thanks to Amazon, e-bay, Wal-Mart and E-commerce. We even shop our groceries online. Malls are a thing of the past. We have an efficient delivery system. USA is transitioning to an AI community. Like it or not . US practically lives in a cyber world...It's rare for us to have a brown out. Since our power companies are reliable and affordable. We are a self sufficient energy country. We don't really rely on other countries for fuel.
here in the phillippines if you don't pay your bill on the due date they will disconnect your service depending on your location then it will cost you a fee to hook back up.
Brian, I forgot to add to my suggestion list of car brands, but I suggest you also check out Suzuki. It's a sturdy Japanese brand and the prices of their new sedans just might be perfect for your budget.
I must say, the Malls in the Philippines are pretty amazing. Not what I had expected to see in a Developing Country. I visited Cebu City, Cebu back in 2004. Checked out AYALA CENTER MALL, SM MALL, GISANO COUNTRY MALL. They were HUGE ! I was Happy to see SHAKEYS PIZZA, KENNY ROGERS ROASTERS there, they are Gone in America.
.......trivia: Henry Sy lived here in our town and i know the Mercury Drug store he was talking about......it's in front of our parish church along Rizal Avenue.....also the reason why even our small town here in Manila has an SM Mall (SM San Lazaro)........his relatives are hardware store owners(their store still open)....... :)
Yes.......a quick service is exciting in the Philippines...lol. I'm 62 now and can use senior line. But I'm still shy to use it, because I don't look old and don't have a walking cane yet. But I have arthritis in my hip, so maybe soon.
The new mall is close to where i have my vacation house. Nice to see it finished. I guess next year i spend much time there waiting for my wife lol... Perhaps i should send her shopping, and go to the massage girls lol
hi Brian, how you handled this people with bad comments, i guess you'll just put them to ignore 😆😆😆 I want to do vlog as well but i dont know if i can handle a viewer with bad comments. Any best to ignore and do not take it seriously, kasi di naman nila kayo kilala personally. keep doing it.... love watching vlogs.
Salad! Salad! 5, 10, 15, 20!! Salad! Salad! 5, 10, 15, 20!! Baaa.. luuut.... Baaa.. luuut....!!! Thanks for the SM Mall show: feels like I've been there now!!!
I was just curious, how much were you able to sell your red car for? You should check out the Mitsubishi Strada pickup truck, unfortunately I think it might be about two or 300,000 pesos more than what you are going to spend on a vios at Toyota, but I think it would be worth your while if you are going to finance it anyway. I think I have one big question for you, what is a reputable insurance company in the Philippines and what do you pay monthly average and what kind of coverage do they offer?
Sms, malls and more malls everywhere. I wonder what would happen to these structures once Filipinos learn that they could shop for just about anything through EBay, Amazon,etc for much cheaper. In the States malls, Sears, Macy's, are closing one by one.
Packo_ Hubu makes sense. People would go to the malls to get away from the obscene heat. I guess the stores are making enough money to pay the rent and their employees.
Isn't that mall actually located in the city of Mexico? San Fernando is close by but I believe the San Fernando mall is actually in the city of Mexico.
I didn't know that , thanks. I plan to visit Pampanga soon, maybe I will drop by and see it. The one I have seen is the one across Robinson and hotel Sogo.
Hi Brian, Your water and electricity suppliers seem to be a bit harsh. We are at Fiesta Community Tabun, near the South Tarlac Province boarder. Our water is through the Village Water Supply They read the meter on the 10th of the month and give us 9 calendar days to pay on occasions we have paid the bill 7 days late and have only been charged a late fee of 10%. The electricity bill is though Pelco_II and is issued on the 29th of the month and we are given 9 to 10 calendar days to pay on occasions the bill has been paid a week late and we have been charged a 10% and the service has never been cut off. The Internet is though Converge and they cut it of if you do not pay for 3 months. To avid a cue for the internet I pay it at My Bills on the corner of Camachiles Road and the Mac Arthur Highway opposite the SM Hypermart. My Bills used to be near the Mabalacat Bus Terminal.
It's like they have cloned SM and can set a new one down anywhere. Your comment about BPI is not quite correct however where ever you see ATM machines side by side, there is always a queue at BPI but not at BDO , PNB, Metro Bank etc.
Hi Brian my name is Dan, I have a 4 part question for you, 1st do you remember the orange peanut shaped candy called circus peanuts, 2nd do you like them, 3rd do they have them in the Philippines, 4th if you do remember them, and you do like them, and they don't have them in the Philippines, how can I send some to you and your family, I just want to do something for you for all the great vlogs you have made and I have enjoyed.
Philly , now you gave me an idea what's "S.M."stands for because of the story that you just gather , well I don't know where you got it but I hope you got the right information about the guy though , anyway " S.M. " stands for Shoe Maker BUT I'm not sure I just made it up or I'm just guessing .
Brian you mentioned electric bill . getting cut off in 48 .hrs could you pay ahead to have a credit on your account or is that something they would not do in the Philippines
Dave Simpson I used to do that with all my utilities. I would just round It Off to the next hundred. It was always great you have a large credit. Plus the fact I just figured that is a normal bill every month so I knew what it was going to cost
Love watching ur blog...I’m married to a pinoy girl and live in the UK but we have a house in Malolos and spend a few months every year at our place.

Awesome and thanks for sharing.
SM Seaside, in Cebu. Been there quite a few times, and going there again soon.
Brian now that is funny about the Mitsubishi dealership. Like going to a new bar and all they have is Budweiser and red horse nothing else
Brian, can you do a video on the cathedral in San Fernando.......
here in the phillippines if you don't pay your bill on the due date they will disconnect your service depending on your location then it will cost you a fee to hook back up.
We have 48 hrs to pay the electric bill after the due date. After that they will shut it off and then you will pay to have it reconnected.
Did you check out the cars on the floor display?
Brian, I forgot to add to my suggestion list of car brands, but I suggest you also check out Suzuki. It's a sturdy Japanese brand and the prices of their new sedans just might be perfect for your budget.
Nice video Brian

How far is the new SM mall from the old SM mall there that is across from Robinsons?
Good luck, finding a new car my friend.
Brian, Lot Lot loved those skin care products, she was like a kid in a candy store.
Well that's interesting. What happened to the SM that had the Sky Ranch behind it? Wasn't it pretty new too?
They keep opening new stores, but I like the store over at Clark better.
Hello Brian, LotLot, HG and kitty cats...
how did you get that black eye just noticed it.
Hello brain and lot lot . Good vlog .lot almost.sold me on skin care products
.......trivia: Henry Sy lived here in our town and i know the Mercury Drug store he was talking about......it's in front of our parish church along Rizal Avenue.....also the reason why even our small town here in Manila has an SM Mall (SM San Lazaro)........his relatives are hardware store owners(their store still open)....... :)
My girlfriend and I was there Oct 2019. Unfortunately I had to come back to Michigan usa
I want to move to Philippines
Wow kuya this is what I love!!!!!! Malls!!!!!
no offense on your Great Vids....but your Lady does a great job on her tour
Yes.......a quick service is exciting in the Philippines...lol. I'm 62 now and can use senior line. But I'm still shy to use it, because I don't look old and don't have a walking cane yet. But I have arthritis in my hip, so maybe soon.
So nice it is not crowded at all
The new mall is close to where i have my vacation house. Nice to see it finished.
I guess next year i spend much time there waiting for my wife lol... Perhaps i should send her shopping, and go to the massage girls lol
I need those glasses..nice
If paying bills for water, electricity or internet... Try "bayad center" or other
Does anyone know where is the first SM store (not mall just a shoe store)?
Are you sure that new mall is in San Fernando? How about Telebastigan?
Cinnabon is my favorite as well. When I was as SM Clark last year I paid only $1.34 for a large one............... not in the U.S. of A. though!
This is so cool I grew up in sanfernando
hi Brian, how you handled this people with bad comments, i guess you'll just put them to ignore 😆😆😆 I want to do vlog as well but i dont know if i can handle a viewer with bad comments. Any best to ignore and do not take it seriously, kasi di naman nila kayo kilala personally. keep doing it.... love watching vlogs.
I'll be there July 😁
Auntie Ann’s or Philly Pretzel Factory?How I miss the rivets with the mustard🥨🥨
Salad! Salad! 5, 10, 15, 20!! Salad! Salad! 5, 10, 15, 20!!
Baaa.. luuut.... Baaa.. luuut....!!!
Thanks for the SM Mall show: feels like I've been there now!!!
I hope Frank approves of everything you're doing
frank does not approve
Rpw. Lol
The inside of this mall is a carbon copy of the New ParkMall in Newark, Calif. from the inside except the stores are different.
puro ka gets gago, epal
Sir, I have one question for you to answer..........Plsssss Notice it ASAP........Is there a National bookstore in that mall?
Is there another holiday this week?
Is that san Fernando la union
I was just curious, how much were you able to sell your red car for? You should check out the Mitsubishi Strada pickup truck, unfortunately I think it might be about two or 300,000 pesos more than what you are going to spend on a vios at Toyota, but I think it would be worth your while if you are going to finance it anyway. I think I have one big question for you, what is a reputable insurance company in the Philippines and what do you pay monthly average and what kind of coverage do they offer?
Funny about lot lot and the skin care my wife does the same thing! Its only 4500 and the soap on sale for 50% off.
Louisa ought to sell skin products at the sari-sari store.Ha-ha!
Nice like the King of Prussia Mall
LV S.M. MALLS, THANKS FOR THE VID U 2...….Z.....
Brian do a video tells us how did you an Lot Lot meet . my wife from Leyte we meet of Facebook
They have INASAL there too 😁
At what point will they reach saturation of malls in Pampanga Province?
At this point, never lol.
does anybody know "do I need a M/C endorsement to drive a tri-cab in A/C?"
Do they have a cinema there?
ok yes I see they do
Yes! Everything is in the mall.
48 hours to pay the electric bill? What about slow mail delivery? Anyway, nice video. Thanks for posting it.
I hope they dont watch your vlogs. They may not sell you a car. Actually that may be a good thing. Lol keep the vids coming.
Brian, do they have Subaru's over there? They make a good car also.
Yes
Sms, malls and more malls everywhere. I wonder what would happen to these structures once Filipinos learn that they could shop for just about anything through EBay, Amazon,etc for much cheaper. In the States malls, Sears, Macy's, are closing one by one.
A lot of those people walking do not buy. They go there to get out of the heat.
Packo_ Hubu makes sense. People would go to the malls to get away from the obscene heat. I guess the stores are making enough money to pay the rent and their employees.
For now...Amazon and Ebay postage is quite high with limited products in Philippines.
Oh I cant wait, less traffic and less people in the streets.
Eventually peep's will get tired of ordering crap online, people still wanna feel and touch it, can't do that online!!
can you pay electric bill on auto with a credit card?
Kuya where is this located? Is this the annex?
Isn't that mall actually located in the city of Mexico? San Fernando is close by but I believe the San Fernando mall is actually in the city of Mexico.
Ramon Lopez III This is a new one in Telabastagan, not in Mexico.
I didn't know that , thanks. I plan to visit Pampanga soon, maybe I will drop by and see it. The one I have seen is the one across Robinson and hotel Sogo.
What about Ford dealer or Suzuki

Chowking is the place to go and eat love their chop suey.
I love Chowkings Halo Halo.
Halo love it
Brian why can't you pay online?
It's like they have cloned SM and can set a new one down anywhere. Your comment about BPI is not quite correct however where ever you see ATM machines side by side, there is always a queue at BPI but not at BDO , PNB, Metro Bank etc.
I like your shades
Hi Brian my name is Dan, I have a 4 part question for you, 1st do you remember the orange peanut shaped candy called circus peanuts, 2nd do you like them, 3rd do they have them in the Philippines, 4th if you do remember them, and you do like them, and they don't have them in the Philippines, how can I send some to you and your family, I just want to do something for you for all the great vlogs you have made and I have enjoyed.
SM also owns Watson Drug. It is a drug store from Hong Kong that SM bought the rights to sell Watson Drug in all SM malls.
Philly , now you gave me an idea what's "S.M."stands for because of the story that you just gather , well I don't know where you got it but I hope you got the right information about the guy though , anyway " S.M. " stands for Shoe Maker BUT I'm not sure I just made it up or I'm just guessing .
John Smith, ShoeMart ☺
So question, who the owner of SM mall .. 🤔
Tak Lot back and buy her the hand lotion - She loves it
Brian, The American restaurants here in the states all the i-hop are now ihob because they add different kinds of burgers.
I will share you a video clip about the ihob. It was video volg by Adam the woo.
lowie lucero he has internet
R
In panama they cut your elec after 2 months. Internet and cable 1 month. You can pay online thru your bank. No Lines. Jajaja.
hello brian, Is there cinema??
99% of the malls in the Philippines have cinema.
Brian you mentioned electric bill . getting cut off in 48 .hrs could you pay ahead to have a credit on your account or is that something they would not do in the Philippines
Dave Simpson I did pay ahead in Laguna
Dave Simpson very interesting question. I hope he gives an answer
William Greis cool where is Laguna is it near Angeles city
boogieman 48 me to
Dave Simpson I used to do that with all my utilities. I would just round It Off to the next hundred. It was always great you have a large credit. Plus the fact I just figured that is a normal bill every month so I knew what it was going to cost
