Power Plant Mall Christmas Decorations at Rockwell Center

December 06, 2013

Since I work just a pebble's throw away from Power Plant Mall here at Rockwell Center I decided to take some pictures of their cool decors inside the mall and the giant Christmas Tree beside the Rockwell Tent. Inside the mall, my eyes were flooded by beautiful poinsettias along the hallway and on the lamps. The theme for this year's Christmas decorations (I think...) is the manger where Jesus [Isa (Peace be Upon Him) in Islam], the central figure of Christianity, was born. Rockwell still used the previous decorations (Last years theme was North and South Pole), the highlight of the decors was at the atrium of the mall where there is this huge Christmas tree with lots of gifts from mall stores. Beside the tree is a huge statue of Santa Claus and a group of white reindeer.

I recommend kids go to this mall, they'll definitely enjoy the cute and realistic animals (they're moving by the way and sounds can be heard from the animals). The place is also a haven for those people who want to pose these nice pictures on their social media networks (#Rockwell, #Christmas, etc.). I also like the smell inside the mall, there's this steady flow of sanitized air with a mild air freshener that soothes my sensitive nose.

Here are some pics I took inside the mall. Enjoy!

How to Get to Rockwell Center:

There are 4 ways to get to Rockwell Center by public transportation.

Option 1: Jeep

Ride a jeep from Guadalupe Interchange (a.k.a Tulay, because there is this monumental bridge mounted with the train railways), then alight at Rockwell. The red mark is where you should disembark and there's a short walk south then you'll see Power Plant Mall. Fare is 8.00 php.

Option 2: Rockwell Shuttle

Ride the Rockwell Shuttle from EDSA corner Estrella St. and it would take you to Power Plant Mall. These shuttles frequent this route, and I think this is their only route. Haha Take note that these shuttle service end at around 17:00 so at night your way of going to Power Plant Mall is the next option. Fare is 5.00 php.

Option 3: Pedicab

Surprising to say pedicabs are allowed at Rockwell, although it's just at the edge along a strip of Estrella St. Fare is 10.00 php each person and each pedicab is good for 2 average sized people. The pedicabs operate longer than the shuttles so they are your mode of going to Rockwell just in case you miss the shuttle ride and you're in a hurry.

The pedicab route to Rockwell Center, that's up to where they can operate within Rockwell Center

Option 4: Taxi

This is by far the most convenient and the one that will cost you most of all the ways to get to Rockwell. Rockwell Center is a popular destination so any cab driver in Metro Manila will know this place. Flag down rate is 40.00 php and 3.50 php is the rate for every 300 meters or a 2 minutes waiting time.
