SM City GenSan perspectives/plans presented to Darlene by Design Team
Barely two weeks ago, GenSan City Mayor Darlene Antonino-Custodio finally got a glimpse of how her city’s next mall will look like.
The design team of the upcoming SM City GenSan composed of representatives from Monolith Construction Dev. Corp, general contractor; Jose Siao Ling & Associates, architect; and D.A. Abcede & Associates, project manager, paid her a visit at her office at the City Hall. They were accompanied by GenSan Chamber prexy Jan Ced and Architect Michael Ang, project coordinator for SM City GenSan.
"SM CITY GENSAN ARCHITECT JOSE SIAO LING PRESENTS SM CITY GENSAN'S PERSPECTIVES AND PLANS TO GENSAN MAYOR DARLENE CUSTODIO AS ENGR. DENNIS ABCEDE JR. (VP, DAA ASSOCIATES) & ENGR. LITO BABASA (CONSTRUCTION MGR, DAA ASSO) LOOK ON."
It was there that the group headed by SM City Gensan Architect Jose Siao Ling, presented her with the perspectives, floor plans and blue prints of one of the most-anticipated projects in South Central Mindanao. Assisting him in the presentation were Engr. Dennis Abcede, Jr. (D.A.Abecede & Associates VP) and Engr. Mariano T. See Diet (Monolith Construction Dev. Corp. EVP/Gen Manager).
"(LEFT TO RIGHT. PHOTO SHOWS RUDY T. CHUA (DIRECTOR, QUALITY PRE-CAST CONCRETE), ARCHITECT MICHAEL ANG (PROJECT COORDINATOR FOR SM CITY GENSAN), ENGR. DENNIS ABCEDE JR. (VP, DENNIS ABCEDE & ASSOCIATES), ARCHITECT JOSE SIAO LING (PRINCIPAL ARCHITECT, JOSE SIAO LING & ASSOCIATES), MAYOR DARLENE ANTONINO-CUSTODIO, ENGR. MARIANO T. SEE DIET (EVP, MONOLITY CONSTRUCTION DEV. CORP), ENGR LITO BABASA (CONSTRUCTION MNGR, DAA & ASSOCIATES), ENGR JESTON MANANGUETE (GEN. CONTRACTOR, PROJECT MNGR), ENGR VICTORIANO OSIAS (FORMWORKS ENGR, MCDC), AND MR. JAN CED (PRES, GENSAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE).
Mayor Custodio was visibly impressed with the SM City GenSan perspectives and designs and stayed longer for the dialogue which followed which tackled traffic management, sewerage system, garbage handling, employment opportunities and tax incentives, among other topics. Together with the mayor were City Administator Atty. Jong Gonzales and Chief of Staff Myrna Mejorada.
According to the SM Team, the two-story mall will cover a total of 100,000 sq. meters of floor space, which is bigger than SM City Davao’s 80,000 sq. meters.
Its main frontage will face San Miguel Street which will be widened into a four-lane avenue. To see where it is, click this—> SM City GenSan location.
SM Prime Holdings has already acquired a portion of the triangular lot straddling J. Catolico Avenue and San Miguel Street for this plan. It will also provide the traffic signal system at the junction of Santiago Boulevard and San Miguel.
"THE SM CITY GENSAN PERSPECTIVE OF ITS FRONTAGE FACING SAN MIGUEL STREET."
Very noticeable in the perspectives presented to the mayor is the uniquely designed logo of the mall which displays a bigger and more prominent rendering of the words “GENERAL SANTOS“. From Architect Jose Siao Ling came the answer that the emphasis on the Tuna Capital’s name was due to their knowledge that the people of GenSan are extremely proud of their famous city and this is SM’s way of solidifying it.
(Upon hearing this, Bariles who noted the peculiarity could only gasp, “Whoa GenSan!”)
At the Santiago Boulevard side of SM City GenSan is their terminal for public vehicles like jeeps, vans and probably (as suggested by Mayor Custodio), parking for trucks which are usually the vehicles of choice of excursionists and shoppers from the rest of the region.
For sure, the mayor quipped, once SM City GenSan opens, there will be a beeline of these vehicles to the Tuna Capital and the mall should be ready for this.
"THIS IS THE SM CITY GENSAN PERSPECTIVE OF ITS LEFT SIDE. TAKE NOTE OF THE SECOND FLOOR BALCONY, A FEATURE PRESENT IN NEWER SM MALLS AND THUS DOING AWAY WITH THE BORING BOX STRUCTURES."
To help enliven GenSan’s night life and cement its reputation as Region 12′s entertainment capital, SM City General Santos will house its Al Fresco restaurants and bars on the other side of the mall which will also operate until midnight similar to Robinsons Place. Their row of dining establishments promises a refreshing and relaxing ambience since at its center will be a large dancing fountain, an important water element in the newer malls of today.
To top it all, all the four cinemas of SM City GenSan at the second floor will be 3D-equipped.
Ground breaking and fencing of the compound will start immediatly after September 10, 2010 and based on the design team’s estimates, construction will be finished by 10 months at the very least.
This means therefore, that aside from Robinsons Place GenSan, KCC Mall of GenSan and Gaisano City GenSan, the people of Soccksargen will have another shopping destination in time for Christmas 2011 – and its name is SM City General Santos.
So now, the question is, where would you shop for your Christmas presents in December next year?

FINALLY! After many years of waiting for the entry of SM City-GenSan, it’s here. I’m pretty sure we are all excited of this new development and at least we have already seen the perspective plan of how our SM looks like. I think its really a trend now of a mall developers to designed their buildings to a 2 to 3 storey high. Maybe to save costs, space and mobility among its shoppers. I expect SM to put only four (4) cinemas in our city to avoid saturation especially when their is no blockbuster movies. So, its a mixed feeling whether the design was favolous but what is important is SM City-Gensan finally arrive in our place. Another place to shop among locals and for our dear visitors during holiday seasons. Thanks Bariles for making it first..

Toinks Says:
Sorry to say this but I’m a bit disappointed at the first look of it. I can’t feel the “WoW” factor in it. Maybe it’s because, it’s drawing nga lang. Pero hindi eh…the Architect himself have presented it, so, more or less ganoon na nga talaga ang magiging look nito. I still keep on convincing myself na maganda nga ito. Sana nga lang talaga maganda sa actual, lalong lalo na sa loob. This is just my comment though regarding sa perspective. Sana walang magagalit hehe.
I’m just as glad as everyone else that SM has finally set it’s foot on GenSan’s ground. Welcome SM City GenSan! And Congratulations Generals! ˆ-ˆ Oh by the way, I so love the idea of putting on the complete name of the City. Thank You SM!

@Amie, definitely this will be good for the employment ratio of GenSan. They will hire 80% from the city.
@whitedevil, congrats sa inyo sa Novaliches at magbubukas na ang SM ninyo.
@rondrick, @raniello, @james – thanks for commenting! This is really great news!
@meer, totoong-totoo na 100,000 meters ang SM City Gensan! Yan ang sabi ng Design Team.
@Tisoy, good luck sa application mo. Sana cashier ka na sa susunod.
@Lito, major major uber level up na nga talaga!
@Toinks, it’s not too boxy this time dahil kitang kita na ang 2nd floor sa left side ng mall. At least may improvement na from their previous look. And yes, the big name of the city up there surely makes it our own.

GorgG Says:
congratulations Generals! another employment opportunity for the generals.
SM has been known for the box type mall for long years.it is just a decade or so when they re-invented. in fairness though to SM, mahirap rin naman mag invest ng malaki lalo na if the market is not as much as in the Metro. we should be thankful that they are here.
Like in SM NOrth edsa, its a box type before until the renovation (the carpark), expansion (the block), another expansion (the annex), etc. this is due to ayala malls coming in — now Trinoma in that area. During my college days, box type na box type lang talag but everytime i visit sm, sobrang grabe ang expansion.
so let us just wait when expansion of SM comes. just like KCC and Gaisano when another mall came in. they keep on renovating and expanding much to the appreciation of the consumers.hehe
while they put up here, they expect income of course. siguro naman tayo di lang gawing tambayan ang malls at magpalamig tapos demand ng demand ng better or much development diba? peace =)
kudos to Gensan and SM

About the design. Well, we could not truly judge the finality of it until the entire structure is finish. But @GorgG is right on his comment. In the years to come, SM GenSan would innovate itself, just like their other Malls. In the meantime, lets just wait and see. I’m sure we are all excited to have it done as soon as possible. How I wish SM people are reading our suggestions and comments. Sana kasing ganda sya ng mga Ayala malls. Hahaha…

hello people.
some are disgusted about SM being build again in lagao. . . Dapat maging happy kayo dahil sa lagao maraming bakanteng lupa na puwedeng tayuan ng negosyante. . .
bakit ngayon lang kayo umangal? noong 1960′s gubat ang buong lagao puro bukirin ng palay at gulay. walang kabahayan sa san isidro. sa purok malakas walang subdivision dyan sa city heights. . .
dahil sa dami ng prospective business, ayan naglitawan ang mga bahayan sa lagao na dati nga mga palayan, gulayan at sagingan.
saka isa pa mas mura ang idle land kesa sa mga improved area kasi taas presyo. at least with the SAlazar llots leased to SM for a dozen of years maging happy ang buong gensan. . . daming pasyalan libre aircon pa. hehehehe
.
beside s dyan happy ang mga abusadong tricycles drivers me bagong tambayan naman sila.
happy din ang mga kawatan, snatchers dahil me bagong hang out sila makahanap ng mga mabiktima.
happy din ang mga kotongero.
happy din ang mga naka uniporme dahil sa SM madali silang makakita ng bagong uyab na mabiktima na pwedeng magatasan at maging palabigasan.
hahahahaha
kaya pag natapos ang buong SM tayk sa mga cellphones ganito na ang mausong TEXT MESSAGE: W8 MO AKO SA SM MALL TAPOS SA PUNTA TAU SM.

Just a suggestion to the SM Management : Sana they will consider putting up a computerized BOWLING LANES for SM City Gensan. When Jovir Bowling Lanes (formerly Dover lanes) closed a year ago to give way to the clearing of SM property.
I’m pretty sure a lot of those bowling tournaments held before that had been died due to the impending construction will be back again. The General’s are precisely sports buff and health conscious. So I think SM should not be hesitant to add these kind of amenities in their mall since it would also be a crowd drawer.

Magko-close talaga ang unang outlet ng Mcdonalds kasi lumipat na sila sa building ng kcc mismo… for lease lang din kasi ug unang pwesto nila.. but they are planning naman to open another outlet in which they will put the drive-thru again…
– this news i got from kcc management
in that case, dalawa na ang McDonalds sa GenSan and kung may McDonalds pa sa SM… mas masaya pa! ahihihi

Yeah, same here I hope McDonald’s Drive thru Gensan would not consider closing. Like their first branch outside Victoria Malls, at first medyo hindi rin naging malakas pero ngayon stabilized na rin ang sales nila. Sayang kasi ang puesto nila outside KCC.

It’s mind-boggling. We already have three existing malls (robinsons, kcc and gaisano) with a voting population of more than 300thousands only. The city allowed SM to operate but disallowed UST (a university), san miguel beer plant (now in darong), and a tile manufacturing firm (now in digos city) to operate a few years back.
For sure there will be some employement once SM will be fully operational but will also results to some unemployement in others. Net effect, I do not know.
Until now, I do not see the value of kalilangan, tuna and pasko sa gensan festivals. Organizers bragged about them every year and soliciting always. Our city spends millions of pesos, for what? For some festivities, temporary employements for some select people during those times. I’m not quite sure if those events were originally intended to attract what (tourists, investors) or to brag about organizers ideas and talents for shows (hehehe).
Tuna industry is collapsing, unemployement is increasing, during dry spell expect power shortage, increase in criminal activities (carnappings, killings), dengue outbreak, and many more…
Too many problems to solve and overcome, less AIM kagawads brain power available (meron ba) since remote controlled (hehehe)… Funny, just smile at it, para gumana utak…

I remember that the previous city council nerve allowed the UST to begin their mission and vision to educate the young people in GenSan and its neighboring municipalities and provinces because of this and that alibi. . . .
di nila nabigyan ng permiso ang adhikain ng taga UST na magtayo ng isang de kalidad na unibersidad dahil. . . . sa isang banda yung mga nagkontra kasi wala silang makukuhang makapal na envelop at yung payag naman umaayon sa kanilang puso diwa upang magkaroon ng magandang kinabukasan ang kanilang mga anak at apo..
even in GenSan daw. . public schools are charging students at per month rate pambayad daw ng tubig at kuryente, plus mga homeroom project at share sa school project. Pati nga pang sweldo daw sa teacher sa public school mga parents na ang nagbabayad. . . di ba pag public school teacher gobyerno ang nagpapasuweldo sa kanila. . .
sayang naudlot ang pagtayo ng UST dahil sa baluktot na paniniwala ng mga utak ipis na konseho. sayang bakit pa sila binoto ng mga tao. . . .
sayang ang big chances ng mga taga mindanao particular na yung galing sa kalapit ng Gensan na makapag aral sa isang UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS na kilala bilang #1 educational insitutition in the Philippines. . . . . para di na dumayo pa sa manila at magastusan ng husto.

nyways, back to SM topic…hindi naman sa pagrereklamo ang komento. iba po ang nagrereklamo sa nagkokomento dahil ang nagrereklamo (kagaya ng isang na highblood dyan) ay may kasamang demand. where as sa komento we say what we have with our senses and whe express what we have in mind. ^-^

bariles Says:
Guys, there are times when people have to stop being very negative. I tolerate all your rants here but if that’s that only thing you need to say, then better say it elsewhere. My objective as writer of this blog, is to try to feature mostly the developments of the the city of my birth and entice readers to realize the great things that are happening here. It came into being to balance out the insensitive penchant of some media to zero in on violence and murder and sow intrigue and conflict.
That is why it’s just disconcerting and frustrating when some people, generals even, keep on seeing just the downsides on some posts in this blog and digging up old skeletons and unsubstantiated rumors which have nothing to do with what’s being written in the first place.
Freedom is good but we have a responsibility not to veer away from the topics at hand and attack personalities and institutions at will anytime we want. Instead of just complaining, let us try to be PROACTIVE about things. Suggest. Advise. Help out.
And let me remind you – this is not a freedom wall. Comments are being moderated since Day 1. Because if not, then the messages section will be full of spam and garbage, and worse, hatred and vile.
It that happens, then Magandang GenSan will be in vain.
I rest my case, dear readers.
Thank you for your understanding.

Brendel Says:
I am from Davao and I am very happy with the most recent developments in General Santos City. SM City General Santos will surely be a welcome addition to General Santos’ growing number of malls.
I’m just wondering why some people focus on the mall’s design, even comparing it to SM Lanang. Whatever it is, I’m sure the SM Group has very valid reasons. This project is clearly the result of years of planning, if that means anything to you. Seriously, you can’t say the mall is destined to fail because the design is not as grand as the malls in other cities.
Also, I have always supported the organizers of GenSan’s festivals. Because they have done a great job at promoting a positive image of GenSan. If some of you can’t see the benefit of these festivals to your tourism industry, ewan ko na lang.
Guys, if you really want to see results and end your frustrations on how your city is being run, there’s an appropriate venue for that. Be proactive because whining won’t get you anywhere. Basing from your comments here, I think you believe you know better than your Mayor and councilors so why not do something for your city? Or simply, walk the talk.
To Bariles and the progressive Generals, keep up the good work.

gilbertyaptan Says:
I remember when Bariles featured the JMP building design here. It generated a lot of comments. And then these dwindled when commenters moved on to the next hot blogpost.
Also in previous posts about developments in Gensan, some commenters would draw unnecessary comparisons between Gensan and other nearby cities. If you read the above-post again, it is the SM team who said that SM Gensan is bigger than SM Davao.
Gensan has its own merits that warranted the interests of investors. Now that investments are pouring in, let’s all be happy about it, whether we are Generals or plain cadets.
The more malls there are, the better for us consumers because we have the power to choose where to spend our money.
Keep those positive suggestions and comments coming!

Lyle Says:
Reading from some of the comments here, I can see that some sectors feel that the local government and the big businesses are doing it wrong…
So, I pose the following challenge:
If you think you know better, then put your money where your mouth is. Stop being a know-it-all arm-chair analyst and be the change that you want to see.
Otherwise, take your pessimistic and uninformed views elsewhere.
By the way, this website was created by and is maintained and paid for by Bariles and his supporters for the purpose of promoting a positive image of GenSan and SoCCSKSarGen to the world.
If you woke up on the wrong side of the bed and feel like ranting, go get a diary.

Lyle Says:
@Toinks – I’m not sure if you’re serious with your reply so magbinisaya na lang ko para masabtan ko.
When I said, “Put your money where your mouth is..” ang buot pasabot niana is this…
Kung nagtuo ta na mas hawud ta sa mga tao na naa sa gobyerno ug sa mga tao na gitagaan ug katungod na magbuhat sa mga desisyon, e di ipakita nato sa ila unsa ang tama na pamaagi.
Kung sa tan-aw nato mali ang design sa SM City, eh di magbuhat ta ug atong kaugalingon na design ug ato i-presenta sa kalibutan kung unsa ang tama na design ug “click” na design.
Dili nang mag sige ra ta ug pangita ug mali sa trabaho sa uban unya wala ta lain gibuhat kundi magpadako ug tiyan. Mas hawud man diay ta ug mas nakahibalo kung unsa ang tama, mas maayo na kita na mismo ang mubuhat.
Dali kaayo ingnun, na we have actually done our part as an extraordinary citizen. Pero ang pangutana.. Unsa ug asa man ang pruweba niana?
Wala may parte sa akong comment na ang-ingun ko na ang naa lang kaya ang dapat paminawon. Ang akong gi-ingun ang website gigastohan ni ug personal na kwarta ni bariles ug sa iyang mga taga-suporta para ipakita sa kalibutan ang mga maayo na panghitabo sa GenSan.
Ang nakadaut man gud, ang uban sa ato, nagtuo na personal freedom wall nila ning website ni Bariles. Na kung gisapot sila kay wala nabuhat ang design ang SM according to their personal taste and standard, naa silay katungod na magbuhat niana under the guise of freedom of speech.
Simple ra man kaayo na. Libre man ang pagbuhat ug blog sa blogspot ug wordpress.com, ngano dili man ka mubuhat ug imuha didto unya didto ka magpahungaw sa imung aligutgot sa kalibutan?
Kay kaning website ni Bariles, wala ni gibuhat para sa atong personal na stage. Gibuhat ni para sa mga tao na gusto makahibalo kung unsa na ang mga maayo na nahitabo sa GenSan.
Posted on September 13th, 2010 at 5:24 PM
Lyle Says:
Here’s another example of “Putting your money where your mouth is…”
Bariles got fed up with how mainstream media portrays General Santos and Mindanao.. Kesyo puro lang giyera, kidnapping, and bombings ang nangyayari dito.
So, instead of whining and complaining sa comment section ng Inquirer.net or ABS-CBNNEWS.com, Bariles decided to put his money where his mouth is and spent his personal money to create GenSantos.com where he can write about progressive news in GenSan.
Now, this is solid proof of being an extraordinary citizen of GenSan.
He became the change that he wanted to see.
Nobody is curtailing your freedom to express your thoughts. Just express it with responsibility and at the proper venue. If you prefer to point out the negative things that you see, feel free but not here because the owner of this site did not create this for such purpose.
You asked me to tell you how to out your money where your mouth is when there is no money in the first place.. OK, I’ll take you up to task. Creating a website at http://www.blogger.com is absolutely FREE. You said maraming magagaling na di nabibigyan ng chance to be heard?

Comments about the design of JMP and SM Gensan is nothing but both are conceptualized for the shoppers’ comfort.
I just wonder nobody commented about the design of the Gaisano Gensan.
i have gone in several places. . . and I found it nothing with the design concept of SM malls from Luzon down to Davao. SM Davao and SM CDO are different in design but wow. . . it is really comfortable to shop because there are all the amenities to pamper your likes.
SM Cebu and SM Iloilo are different. SM cebu is bigger than SM Iloilo.

To all Generals. . . the development and improvements of your city is being undertaken by big time businessmen who are pulling their resources to put up their branches in your city without thinking of security and tenure of their business. . . .
they are moving heaven and earth to make all Generals as well as their neighboring towns, cities, municipalities who are their target clientele for their trades.
Shoppers’ comfort is a must. Big spacious malls are very familiar to shoppers where one can walk leisurely without bumping racks of goods being displayed. If one have an alert mind, which mall in Gensan where most shoppers can not move freely because of too many display rack / cabinets along the way . . . .
in our lingo. . . . malaki man ang mall hirap maglakad sa loob kasi siksikan ang mga nakadisplay. . . tapos pati gitna okupado pa rin. . .

sana matuloy ang UST GENSAN. . . para di na magpunta sa manila ang mga taga mindanao. . . at doon mag aral.. . . na mas magastos pa..
kung meron lang dito UST sa gensan. . . tyak maraming students na mas malapit pa sa mga parents. . .
to think de primera klase ang UST. . one of the oldest university in the philippines.

Grabe this is a very hot topic! anyways, basta si bariles, it would always be as hot as the sun no matter what!
The advent of the SM here is just an inevitable proof that Gensan City is booming! Hopefully maka kuha na naman kami ng project dyan..hehehe
Aba! Maganda pala ang pagkakagawa namin ng conference room, hehehe! (love your own work)

@junx0071984, una may tsismis na di matutuloy ang SM dito. Ngayong nagko-construct na, ayan na naman ang balita? Ano ba yaN? Kasalukuyan pong nag-eexpand ang Gaisano GenSan at pinalalaki ang kanilang old building para makahabol sa December 2010. Kung may balita mang magtatayo ang Gaisano sa Marbel, eh di mas ok para sa Soccsksargen. Pero ang ililipat mula rito sa GenSan papuntang Marbel ang Gaisano, malabo pa sa mata ng lola ko yan.

Toinks Says:
Napaka laking ka eng engan po kung mag aalsa balutan ang Gaisano Mall of GenSan moving to Marbel. hehehe But rumors have it na magpapatayo raw ng Gaisano Citimall sa may koronadal. Hindi pa nga lang confirmed. But It would be a lie kung sasabihin nating hindi feasible ang idea na magakaroon ng Gaisano Citimall sa ciudad ng Koronadal. : )
Magkakaroon pa kaya ng sinehan sa Gaisano Mall of GenSan? hmmm parang may mga works goin on sa dating sinehan nila…ano kaya yon?…

congrats to Gensan at last SM is coming to town !!! Di rin pahuli sa davao..the current sm city davao is undergoing an expansion and renovation starting next year with a 4 storey mall building..on top of this another sm mall is set to rise in Lanang set to open in 2012..so this is a positive sign that the SM group is investing heavily in Mindanao..and of course, Abreeza (Ayala Mall) is set to open next year here in Davao…This put Davao City as the third major city in the country after Manila and Cebu..

KEEP CLEAN Says:
May coming SM nga peru i don’t think if they can properly manage it.As far as my concerned and as what i’ve observed sa ibang malls ditu,most of there staff hindi bayolinte kumilos,yung parang walang pinag aralan na kailangan pa e educate of moral values peru hindi naman lahat. Sana piliin lang nila yung karapat-dapat sa loob ng SM hindi yung mga tarantado.Speaking of malls ditu,haha….karamihan looks like 20th Century pa tinayo peru hindi naman its just na hindi lang sila marunong mag alaga. Pag sa loob ka feels like nasa putikan ka lang.Malayo sa ibang malls sa ibang lugar/city .Dapat lang talaga na ituro din nila yung proper hygiene para naman desinte tingnan at hindi maluma kaagad.

@ Keep Clean: nose bleed ang makabasa sa comment mo! what do you mean by “hindi bayolinte kumilos” so ang kailangan mo mga staff na agresibo? hehehhe. basta lang maka comment kahit walang sense……. better go home. 1st time mo yata sa city hehehe.
