It’s not just the air-conditioning or the food courts. For Filipino families, malls have long been more than shopping centers, they’re our go-to weekend destinations, a safe space to unwind, celebrate milestones, or just hang out. And few know how to nurture that relationship better than Robinsons Malls, recently honored with two major wins at the 2025 Retail Asia Awards.
Robinsons Antipolo bagged “Regional Mall of the Year,” while Opus—its new lifestyle destination in Metro Manila—was named “New Mall of the Year.” Behind the leadership of RLC, Mybelle Aragon-GoBio, its president and CEO, and Faraday Go, its executive vice president and business unit general manager, these wins is a simple but powerful insight. People want more than places to shop, they want places to live their lives.

In Antipolo, the mall feels less like a building and more like a town plaza. Students practice for interschool competitions at the atrium. Couples take their prenup photos in the open-air garden. On weekends, families stroll with their dogs while enjoying live music and local food. Robinsons Antipolo doesn’t just serve the community, it’s part of it.
Opus Mall at Bridgetowne, Pasig City, launched in July 2024, won ‘New Mall of the Year’ at the 2025 Retail Asia Awards.

Opus, on the other hand, speaks to a new generation of urban families looking for elevated experiences. There’s a family cinema designed for all ages, and experiential concepts like Spatio, where you can get a haircut and a smoothie in the same zone. Global names like Dave & Buster’s, St. Ali, and Il Lupino Prime picked Opus for their Philippine debut, signaling just how much the mall has raised the bar.
Faraday Go dedicated the awards to Robinsons Malls’ customers, partners, and employees.

For Go, both developments reflect a long-term vision. “Opus and Robinsons Antipolo embody our vision for modern malls—beautifully designed, thoughtfully curated and deeply connected to the evolving needs and lifestyles of our customers. These recognitions affirm our commitment to creating spaces that inspire, engage, and elevate everyday life."
Robinsons Malls isn’t just keeping up, it’s creating places where families grow, communities gather, and everyday moments become something worth remembering. And if you look at the happy crowds in Antipolo or the family brunches at Opus, one thing’s clear, malls still matter, especially when they’re made for lasting moments.
