At the Graveyardish MCC

The old Makati Commercial Center used to be deserted, save for weekends when residents around the area went to the Makati Supermart and perhaps watched a movie at the Rizal Theatre. Sundays with the family was enjoyable because we had simple pleasures – sipping Orange Julius OJs and corn dogs after Mama was done with her groceries. If we were lucky, our Dad would even treat us to lunch at the adjacent Chinese restaurant.

The 1- and 2-story buildings soon gave way to the QUAD Mall, the Greenbelt Mall across the street, and one other mall which housed the first McDonald’s I’ve ever eaten in. Today, only a couple of original buildings exist.
