Mercury Drug rises in Barangay Lagao
I was joyriding onboard my partner’s motorbike the other night when I saw a streamer along the corner of Lagao National Highway and Tiongson Street, which caught my eye.
Hey! It’s an announcement about an upcoming branch of Mercury Drug!
The following day, I went back to the same place and took these pictures.
Now people from this side of GenSan wouldn’t have to go far downtown to buy their medicines and other needs. Mercury Drug – Lagao will soon be here.
I just hope it will have a walk-in mini-grocery just like their Pedro Acharon Branch. And let it open 24 hours!
Now that would be great for Lagao’s burgeoning night life since Lagao has a string of bars and restaurants along its main roads.
Mercury Drug will now have three outlets in GenSan: P. Acharon, Pioneer and Lagao National Highway.

Mercury Drug made a right decision in acquirng a space in Lagao. Ang daming tao na dyan and I’m sure it would be a success. Lagao is becoming a busy area, now that Robinsons Place started their construction it’s a strategic moved made by Mercury. Im’ sure other business will follow in that place. Congrats to Mercury Drug!

I hope Mercury Drug will also find ways to put a branch in Calumpang Area. We have a lot of small Drugstores in Calumpang but all generics med. only and very costly.
