Opened in 2006, this is the Philippines' signature mega-mall, several buildings linked by walkways; 'you can't finish it in a day' is not an exaggeration. Ice rink, IMAX and food courts are all inside. But the real scene is out back on the bay. Around sunset people line the seawall promenade while the MOA Eye Ferris wheel at the SM by the Bay amusement park turns slowly against the sky. It's close to the airport, too, which makes it handy for stashing bags and killing time on your last day.
