Things to do in Metro Manila this weekend

Ready for some revenge shopping, eating, and exploring this weekend? We bet you do. After months and months of mostly being at home, who wouldn't want to go out for a while to experience the little pleasures in life that we used to enjoy, right? But of course, let's all stay safe while having fun outside the house.
If you still have no solid plans this last weekend of November, perhaps GMA Lifestyle can help you out with that. So, before you grab your face mask and hand sanitizer and step out of the house, check out these places and events this weekend.

Christmas shopping
Christmas is just a few weeks away, so if you already want to shop for gifts for your loved ones, then now's the perfect time. You can shop 'til you drop at SM Megamall with their 3-Day Sale that started last weekend. The third day is on November 27, Saturday. But don't worry if you need more time to shop because there's also a special sale happening on November 28, Sunday, so watch out for that.
