THE giant malls are dying in many parts of the US and that says a lot about the future of malls. In our country, though, the malls are now at the center of things and they are at the center of most Filipino lives. They are built recklessly, mostly along the traffic-choked metropolitan roads. The MMDA and the traffic people have two ways of measuring metropolitan traffic. One, during ordinary days and second, during Fridays when the malls are packed with vehicles and people.
