Philippines Video: Mall of Asia Ice Skating Rink
Owned and developed by SM Prime Holdings the SM Mall of Asia is the 2nd largest mall in the Philippines and the 4th largest shopping maal in the world. It’s land acerage is 42 hectares and floor space of approx 4.2 million square feet. It is located at Bay City, Pasay City, Philippines near Manila Bay. Approx 200,000 people visit the mall daily.
My favorite feature of Mall of Asia is the regulation size Ice Skating Rink. According to wikipedia:
“The mall features the Philippines’s first Olympic-sized ice skating rink. At 61 by 30 meters, the rink is described as the biggest of its kind in Southeast Asia. It can accommodate both recreational and competitive figure skating, as well as ice hockey. Along with plain access and skate rentals, the rink’s operators also offer training programs in both figure skating and ice hockey. Several ice skating competitions have been held at the mall’s ice skating rink, the most prestigious yet having been Skate Asia 2007. It was also the first time that the Philippines had hosted any international ice skating event.” I have a video I shot recently while visiting the Mall to show you what the rink looks like.

Enchanted Kingdom, located in Santa Rosa City, Laguna is about 16 miles (29 kilometers) from Manila. It covers an area of 41 acres and is managed by Enchanted Kingdom Inc. Enchanted Kingdom has about 30 rides including 2 roller coasters and 2 water rides.
One of my favorite places to visit close to my home in Binan is the Nuvali area of Santa Rosa City in Laguna. The City Of Santa Rosa is one of the best cities to live in Laguna Province of the Philippines. It’s nickname is “The Investment Capital of South Luzon” and it is about 40km south of Manila along the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX). It is actually a suburb of Metro Manila with a population of around 267,000 people although it could have been bigger had it not split with the city of Binan, where I reside. Even though, Santa Rosa is the 4th largest city in Laguna behind Calamba, San Pedro, and Binan.
