Robinsons turns 10

Robinsons Place-Bacolod City formally opened its Gallery of Corporate Success yesterday as part of the month-long celebration of its 10 years of business triumph in Bacolod City.

Robinson's Land Corp., group property manager, Joseph Sian and Secretary to the Bacolod Mayor Goldwyn Nifras led the ribbon- cutting ceremony at the fountain area of the mall.

The Gallery of Corporate Success showcases the JG Summit Group of Companies - who they are and how each in its own way contributes towards improving the quality of life of the Filipino people, a press release from the company said.

Also present were Public Information Officer Ramon Lozana and Executive assistant to the Bacolod Mayor Benjie Torre.

With the opening of Robinsons Place - Bacolod in 1997, it brought to the people of Bacolod and Negros the kind of shopping experience available only in the greater Metro Manila area, it added.

After a decade, "servicing a need" went beyond commerce to actually touch lives, the release said. This experience bespeaks of the corporate strength of the JG Summit Holdings Inc., which is the force that brought Robinsons Place to Bacolod City and Negros as a whole through its real estate arm - Robinsons Land Corp.

Other activities lined up for its 10th year anniversary include "Martin Nievera live at the mall" on July 28 at 4 p.m.; Laser Light Show, a spectacular indoor lights and sounds show, on July 28-29 at 7 p.m.; and a fashion show featuring the Philippines Next Top Model winner, Grendel Alvarado with the Bacolod Association of Models, on July 29.*CGS
