Say goodbye to weekday sales. In a bid to ease traffic during the holidays, the Interagency Council on Traffic (I-ACT) and mall operators in Metro Manila agreed on Friday that starting Oct. 21 until Jan. 9, 2017, mall sales will no longer be conducted during weekdays. Gardiola said that motorists will no longer be allowed to stay on the road while they are queuing for a particular mall’s parking space. Next Thursday, another meeting between I-ACT and mall operators will be conducted on the possibility of implementing a 12 midnight to 5 a.m. delivery period of products. Gardiola said that they will also finalize the late-opening and late-closing scheme (11 a.m. to 11 p.m.) for malls.
