Literally witnessed MOA as it was being constructed since I used to work within the SM CBP. It was touted as the biggest mall in Asia before pero ayaw pakabog ng iba so sila na. Napakaraming choices from shopping to food, and entertainment because MOA Arena and SMX CC is right next door, aside from the outdoor space pa. So many restos have come and gone here, I remember may Hooters dito dati pero hindi nagclick, wala na-share ko lang.
Dahil na rin siguro sa sobrang spread out ng MOA, it's a bit messy(?), basta parang ang gulo ng pagkakaayos ng mga shops, bukod pa sa sobrang dami ng tao lagi and never ending repair/renovation but it is definitely a good place to go shop at since you will probably find anything and everything that you need. It is best to wear comfy footwear kung may balak umikot sa buong complex, at magbaon ng pasensya dahil halo halo po ang crowd dito. Be vigilant also, dahil syempre pag crowded malaki rin ang chance na may mananamantala.
You may or may not enjoy your visit to MOA, but it will definitely be an experience/adventure in itself.
Why just 3 stars? Dahil po MOA and the rest of the structures in the complex (Manila->Pasay->Paranaque) stands in acres of land reclaimed from Manila Bay and recent reports suggest that these developments have largely contributed to the slow death of our natural resources. That's just sad. Let's Save Mother Earth peeps, and no, hindi ko sinasabing gibain ang mga buildings dyan or anything, but moving forward let's all be responsible and aim for sustainable, earth-friendly development projects.
