Malls in Metro Manila will implement adjusted operating hours from Nov. 16 to Dec. 25 to help ease holiday traffic, according to the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).
Shopping malls will operate from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays, while deliveries will generally be limited to nighttime hours.
Mall-wide sales will only be allowed on weekends, while individual stores may hold weekday sales without promotional advertisements.
Mall operators must also submit traffic management plans before holding sales or promotional events.
Restaurants, supermarkets, and government offices inside malls are exempt from the adjusted hours.
