As more businesses are allowed to operate under the modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) imposed in Metro Manila, the Araneta City has already resumed the operations of its three malls, the Gateway Mall, Ali Mall, and Farmers Plaza, and opened its doors to the public today, May 20, 2020, from 11 am to 7 pm.

In the media advisory sent to THEHILBIZNEWS, Antonio Mardo, Senior Vice President for Operations of Araneta City assured the public that the Araneta City has all systems and ensures that all their customers and employees are safe as they go back to business.

Prior to the reopening of malls, the Araneta City management held a small ceremony to thank mall officers and front-liners for keeping the establishments safe during the temporary closure. Social distancing and safety protection measures were observed during the ceremonies held simultaneously in all three malls.
