QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – In one stroke of corporate genius, SM North has unveiled its groundbreaking solution to combat flooding issues that have plagued the mall for years.

Instead of addressing the real drainage problems, management has opted for a brilliant, out-of-the-box solution: building a water canal right between two of its main buildings for customers to ride gondolas!

This innovative move comes hot on the heels of a particularly rainy week that left the mall waterlogged. Rather than investing in proper infrastructure or drainage systems, the executives must have watched Venice travel documentaries during their extended lunch breaks and thought, “Why not gondolas?”

Now, shoppers can enjoy a “romantic” canal ride while navigating the mall’s flooded ground floor. It’s the perfect way to combine the thrill of shopping with the excitement of an amusement park log flume. Who needs dry floors when you can have gondolas?

The Philippine Department of Tourism has enthusiastically endorsed the idea, saying it will help boost the new “Love The Philippines” campaign to lure local and foreign tourists.

SM North, you’ve truly outdone yourself.
