While Sta. Lucia of Cyracuse (from which I believe Sta. Lucia gets "her" name) is the patron saint of the blind, you can imagine that it would be poetic to completely overlook this otherwise hidden gem in favor of the nearby Robinson's Metro East. However, you would be at a loss. Although this particular mall is not as well-lit or up-to-date as it's nearby counterpart, or, indeed, like other malls of better caliber in the other areas of Manila, Sta. Lucia caters to clients from all walks of life who are looking for items of all kinds as well. Here you will find a hodgepodge of items that can be good deals of higher-end products sold at bargain prices, or you may even find older items that are no longer sold at conventional stores anymore, and for a reasonable price. Food stalls are abundantly distributed along the mall and between the stores, and it is surprisingly bigger than it looks from the outside. So don't let appearances or first impressions fool you; being blind sometimes leads to a leap of faith. read more
