Good Day guys!

Before I start my post but I know it's a bit late, I just wanna say Happy Independence day to all of us Filipinos!

Let me show you a glimpse of the biggest mall here in Baguio City and how they are currently operating during this pandemic. This mall is called SM City Baguio. Here's one fun fact about our mall, this is the first ever SM Supermall which does not have an aircon in the common areas. I haven't gone here ever since the lockdown, the last time I went to SM was last March which was during my birthday. I went with my mom and siblings Let me share my experience. Before entering the mall, you could already see the ground which had yellow circles painted on the ground.

They painted this to promote social distancing. As I entered the mall, the guard disinfected my hands by using alcohol and he took my temperature and showed it to me and let me in.

This is what they did with their escalator, there are still social distancing circles and even in the escalator.

The escalator also had yellow foot marks to guide us where to stay while going up and down the elevator. The markers are every after 2 steps and it was even alternate from the right to the left.

Even, going inside the bathrooms, they had those yellow circles.

It was so stupid of me not to read the sign below because I tried entering it and an employee stopped me and said that this is for females only. I was actually used to using the restroom there before.

We were going to the grocery and as soon as you enter the main floor, there were arrows all around the floor indicating the flow of traffic.

This is the Super Market, as you can see all of those people who were sitting were waiting for their turn to enter the grocery.

It just feels so weird not to see so much of a crowd, because if it were a normal day, this place would be jamppacked with people walking everywhere.

As you can see, this is the new normal. Most of the shops had Plastic covers infront of their stalls. They even had a basket for transacting.

They had their own Sanitation Team. When the guards let the people who are waiting enter. All the plastic seats were being sanitized by their team so it would be ready for the next batch of people who would wait and see.

I had to line up so I could help my mom push the cart while she was doing our groceries.

I noticed that most of the employees who are working under this establishment were wearing a mask and a face shield.

Here are some shots inside the Super Market.

As I entered the Atrium of the Mall, I was wondering why there were so many chairs. It was a central pickup station. This is how it works, the first step is to browse the store/ Resto guide through social media. The second step is to contact the store or restaurant. Step 3 Pay the exact amount thru available payment scheme. The last step is to proceed in the pick up station on arranged pick up time. The management actually made it more convenient. As you can see the barber's in the left side were all using PPE's, mask and face shield.

This was how it looked like from the top.

I finally was able to see this view again overlooking some parts of our City. Though it was foggy because there's currently a tropcial depression that's hitting us right now.

The view from here you could see Burnham's Athletic bowl, where most people train.

Burnham's Melvin Jones, the last time I was here there were people who were playing football. They also host some concerts in this ground.

Burnham lake, this is where tourist boat before.

The City Hall of Baguio.

Everywhere I went there would be a guard guiding the people and holding signs to remind us of social distancing. As you can see in the floor it's full of paintings for the flow.

Before we left there was an employee holding a sign two steps apart please.

Whatever they did with this escalator fascinated me. I'm glad that this mall is also doing a great job during this pandemic. There is actually one thing that I learned when I visited this mall and it was patience. Patience is what you need because everywhere you go there will always be a socially distanced line.

I actually missed going to this mall but I wouldn't go there again until it's necessary.

Thanks for reading and Stay safe always!
