Published March 13, 2021, 12:36 PM Throughout this pandemic season, open-air dining has become a premium space and option, and the Megaworld Lifestyle Malls are upping the ante.

Let’s call the virus the devil, someone we all want to avoid; and the deep blue sea would be our floundering economy and the businesses in danger of sinking. We are a consumer-driven economy, so establishments within the food and restaurant industry, with their employment and trickle-down supply chain, have a great impact on our economy’s survival. Quarantine fatigue has also meant we miss those dining out opportunities; but there is the pressing concern of whether it’s safe to head out in numbers.
