Hi guys, I was just inspired by my Technopreneurship teacher to write this article. Anyways, here’s the deal. The recently conducted 3 day sale at the SM Naga was a big hit. For the first day, it was heard that SM got 10 Million and for the rest of the sale, got a whooping 30M. This is really great, but I wonder where Naguenos got all their money for the sale. If its true that SM got 30 Million out of the pockets of Bicolanos, then I can say the Bicolanos are rich. Who in the world would ever expect Bicolanos to spend such huge amount of money?

But for me, I’m not happy for it. The reason is that, some of the Local Businesses here are dying because of these events. I don’t have anything against SM Naga, but hey, take a look at the businesses along Magsaysay Avenue and you can see that there is something really wrong. Ever wonder where the whooping 30 Million is now? It’s not here in Naga!, its in Manila! In the end, its them who will benefit and not us. We got what we shop for, but think about it, some local businesses out there are begging for customers, waiting for money to keep their family alive..
