AllValue Vice Chairman Camille Villar also cited the continuing trend of premiumization, stretching to all highly urbanized cities of the country – including Iloilo.

“We want to ensure that we remain consistent in the experience we offer across the entire Vista Mall portfolio. Iloilo is thriving and we believe that bringing in a wave of innovation through our exciting concepts that focus on better crafted customer journeys will resonate strongly with their growing preference for a comprehensive and elevated mall experience,” she said.
