If you’re spending Holy Week in the city this year, it might be worth planning your errands and meetups ahead of time. As expected, a number of malls across Metro Manila will adjust their operating hours, with many closing on key dates such as Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.

That said, not everything will be completely shut down. Some malls, dining areas, and essential services will remain accessible, especially over the Easter weekend. If you’re still figuring out where to go (or just want to avoid showing up to a closed mall), here’s a quick guide to what’s open and when.
Ortigas Malls: Greenhills and Estancia
