my guess would be limited seating

I am convinced you are correct, without even visiting the mall, that the free seating is very limited.  However, mogo51 also is correct because there is sure to be a Bo's Coffee or similar place with seating available to anyone who can afford 100 pesos + for a cup of coffee to watch the girls walk by.

I wonder how much this will hurt the viewing at Robinson's Mall? Well my potential loss is you guys on the North side's gain LOL.

I wonder if this country will ever get to the stage some Western retail markets are at now with the growth of online shopping and with traditional retailers under pressure. Most international trends eventually find root here, but is this going to be an exception?

For online shopping to take over from department stores here the customer service would have to have a massive overhaul.The workers in places like City mall have quite a good customer service record.

 It is an SM outlet so I guess it will survive

So where is this new mall?  Can anyone give a known landmark that it is close to?

North on National Highway, continue past the airport (don't remember distance of the top of my head), City Mall will be on the left. Single level, smaller than Robinson, if you head up that way might want to stop in and check what SM has different if anything. Not sure it's worth a special trip if you aren't on the North side already.

In Mandaue SM they had a range of frozen veg(good stuff) and one time I was able to get weetabix there.
