Last week, Mi Amore and I went to the Greenhills Shopping Center in Greenhills, San Juan to have the LCD or touch screen of her Palm Treo repaired.
For the middle class, the word “Greenhills” is synonymous to the term “bargain” much like “Divisoria” is for the Class D and E market. And it is in Greenhills that you can get an indication that the country is indeed the texting capital of the world.
The entire second floor of the Center Plaza is dedicated to all things electronica.. Pinoys who lose sleep over having an old cellphone model considers it as their electronic oasis:
You can find both the latest-trendy and not-so-latest-trendy cell units in this place – all at below the usual retail prices (although you have to be aware that they’re usually China-made Class A imitation units). Iphones, Ipods, Itouch-es, PlayStations, PSPs, Wiis, Xbox-es, MP3 players, PDAs, laptops, memory cards, keypads, casings, cell guards, chargers, batteries, digital cameras – name it and you can find it in this place.
Stores offer mp3/mp4 downloads, game installations, Iphone unlocking, repairs, upgrades, E-loads, Cell-loads, Wallet loads, and all other electronic or cell services imaginable. You could also choose to trade-in or sell your antiquated cell unit to one of the hundreds of electronic stalls which noticeably are being run by Muslim and Chinese merchants.
The Greenhills Shopping Center is a mecca for the gadget-loving Pinoy.
