By Camille Santiago Published Nov 15, 2025 2:05 pm

The holidays are here, and so is the rush! Whether you're organizing reunions with old friends, tackling that Christmas shopping spree, or just finding time to unwind with family, the malls serve as the center for all your holiday plans.

To accommodate the influx of shoppers and help manage the expected heavier traffic, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority and mall operators in Metro Manila have agreed on adjusted operating hours this holiday season.

Starting Nov. 17 until Dec. 25, most malls in the National Capital Region will open and close later on weekdays, shifting their schedules from the standard hours to 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays, except for holidays and weekends.

This extension aims to reduce congestion during peak commuting times while giving you extra hours to complete your holiday errands.

Here’s a quick guide to malls’ operating hours, from Christmas to New Year.
