Closing its doors Tuesday to the public it had served for 43 years, the Harrison Plaza in Malate would always be a source of fond memories for a group of senior citizens whose friendship was built inside one of the country’s oldest malls.

‘FAREWELL, HARRISON PLAZA’ – The 43-year-old Harrison Plaza, one of the country’s first modern shopping centers, closes shop today, December 31.

“Naging pamilyar na ‘yung mukha ng bawat isa. Hanggang sa naging magka-kausap na at naging magkakaibigan ,” added Salvador, who calls their group “Malate Boys.” Vic, who previously lived in Malate but already moved to Barangay Tambo in Parañaque City, believed that Harrison Plaza held some “charm” that drew him back regularly even if he resides some six kilometers away.Estrada, 55, who had also moved to Parañaque, would never get tired driving his bicycle since it’s the cheapest means to get to Harrison.“Dito kami tumatambay noong bata pa kami.

It said that it would be turned over to another owner which would reportedly convert the seven-hectare lot into a mixed-use development. “Mga 1980 yun, kakapasok ko pa lang ng sinehan, ang daming tao kasi pelikula ni Bruce Willis. Tapos biglang may sumigaw ,” he remembered, “Sabi ‘sunog! sunog!’ Nagtakbuhan lahat ng mga tao. Nagtalunan sa upuan ”
