MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau ) – Proof that the economy of the Philippines is booming, thousands upon thousands of Filipinos descended upon shopping malls across the country to take advantage of a nation-wide, week-long sale!

Some malls were even reporting on stampedes in their earlier-than-usual opening hours.

Are we seeing the beginning of full recovery from the adverse economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in the country?
