Harbor Point

Get ready folks, the scheduled opening of Ayala Mall's Harbor Point is April 26th.  This is supposed to have over 400 businesses in it.  This information was confirmed by the National Bookstore over near Royal that has already posted signs stating that they will be closed on the 26th.  When I asked the folks at National bookstore what size is the new building and the answer was "much smaller".  Maybe they will be concentrating on books at the new place but figure those odds.  We are probably looking at a glorified school supplies store.  I mean who reads books in the PI?  Hardly any of the local folks as the prices are so high.  This is something that really needs to be addressed in this country.  How can the country raise it's educational standards when the cost of books is so exorbitant?

  1. National Bookstore will be much smaller because Ayala Malls prefers real bookstores, like Powerbooks. We now have to drive to Angeles to get to Powerbooks, which has the latest books out of the U.S. and if they don't have it they will order. We have have ordered obscure books for my daughter and to our shock, they promptly texted us when it came in. Who needs Amazon when we have Powerbooks. Another reason to celebrate these great malls coming to Subic!

  2. The Bugle is hoping that we can get a Powerbooks but all I have seen so far is the National Bookstore at the new mall maybe once I get inside we will be treated to something new. The Bugle won't be going inside till the newness wears off.
