About This Blog
Flight chronicles of the backpacker Tutubi, with travelogues, pictures/photos/videos, travel guides, independent and honest reviews, affordable, recommended resorts and hotels (including inns, guesthouses, pension houses, lodges, hostels, condotels, bed and breakfast and other cheap accommodations), commuting guides, routes (sometimes street maps and GPS coordinates/waypoints) and driving directions to answer "how to get there" questions, information and tips on tourism, budget travel and living in Philippines, Exotic Asia and beyond!

Backpacking, independent travel, and flashpacking are cheaper than the "cheapest package tours" and promotional offers around but you can also use travel information for family vacations, even romantic honeymoon destinations.

More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!

    Tutubi knows most people will leave Metro Manila during Holy Week, but this time, he won't be one of them in escaping the summer sun of the metropolis to the beach or Visita Iglesia outside Mega Manila. He intends to stay in the big city probably to drive around to enjoy traffic-free thoroughfares.

    He asked around friends for schedules of SM Malls operation in Metro Manila, perticularly SM City North EDSA and SM Megamall where his friends work.

    Only SM Baguio is really open for business during Holy Week



    Herewith is the Updated latest Schedules of SM Mall Hours Schedule for Holy Week 2013:

    thanks for the info, very much helpful and convinient finding it online instead of just going into the actual location to find out.... :-)

    the updated latest schedule for 2012 apparently wrongly mentions the year 2011, ... but according to DATES and DAYS indications it is obvious that 2011 should read 2012

     
    At Apr 7, 2012, 12:03:00 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said...

    in the 2012 updated schedule obviously in each line 2011 reads 2012
