History
Being one of the two SM Supermalls to be opened in the year 1997 (the other being SM City Fairview), SM Prime Holdings prides itself to be a leading shopping mall developer in the Philippines. Construction of the mall started in 1996 as a 3-level shopping complex. However, due to demands of Bacoor municipal government and the residents to make the shopping complex much bigger, and due to growing population of the municipality that time, SM Prime Holdings then decided to make it a 5-level shopping complex, enough to accommodate and serve the needs of people of Bacoor and its neighboring towns. The grand opening of the mall was held on July 25, 1997.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“All history is a record of the power of minorities, and of minorities of one.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
