The Great Cebu Sale was conducted due to the limitations of promotional SALE inside the mall. The Philippine Retailers Association (Cebu Chapter) welcomes the latest development allowing Mall Sale in GCQ and MGCQ areas provided proper health Protocols will still be observed (mandatory wearing of Mask & face Sheild, frequent hand washing, physical distancing and contact tracing), said Chester Lim, PRA Cebu Chapter President. “The timing is right on time as the Great CEBU Sale will end by October 31^st and this will help continue the momentum of more business activity as we are approaching the Christmas season”, Lim added. Mr. Lim is hopeful that in this last quarter more businesses will recover some of the losses in the 2nd and 3rd quarter due to lock down.
