But in the newspaper ads there were no times listed and this is a big problem and when we arrived no one seemed to know when the concert would begin and there were no signs giving the details. All public releases should always include approximate times for activities please. We arrived at 3pm and waited until 6 pm when it did finally begin.
I know Henry Sy has made great efforts to make his malls friendly to handicapped and senior citizens but these black backless stools were not included in this effort evidently. Yes it looks very architecturally correct but it is not practical for seniors who need extra support on the back . I put my stool against a support pillar to provide the support my curving old back needed hehe.
A more practical solution that SM should adopt as many quieter music events attract the older senior population, would be to use regular plastic chairs with backs as many malls do already. There are workers there already to set up and take down as they took the stools away before the concert to the other end for a children's activity and then returned them afterwards but the stools could have been used for the children's activitiy and the plastic chairs for the concerts please!
The concert was very enjoyable and UV just won at the Manila CCP awards 2009: A great year for the UV Chorale Watch them also on YouTube at another concert

I can say that you are right for that, malls in Philippines like SM is needing a good and comfortable bleachers for our senior citizens not only for them but for all the people who's tiring for shopping and need some rest. Thanks for the information.
