A fire destroyed and resulted in the eventual demolition of the Ever Gotesco Grand Central Mall in Caloocan City. According to a report by ABS-CBNNews.com, the fire started 10:45 p.m. on March 17, 2012, Friday, at the ground floor. The fire was already declared under control around 11:50 p.m. Saturday. It, however, blazed again and spread to the fourth floor on Sunday morning.
The incident was quite ironic considering that March is Fire Prevention month in the Philippines. Pictures of the now-demolished mall (taken on September 29, 2012) are shown:

Trip to SM Mall of Asia
I was browsing through my collection, when I chanced upon pictures of a trip to SM Mall of Asia in May this year. The mall was opened by developer SM Prime Holdings in 2006. It is said to attract a daily average foot traffic of about 200,000 people.
Having a land area of 42 hectares and a gross floor area of about 390,193 square metres, SM Mall of Asia is the second largest mall in the Philippines after SM City North EDSA. Being located in the Bay City reclamation area in Pasay City, the mall offers glimpses of the Manila Bay.
