(SPOT.ph) Brave are the people who go to the shopping malls of Parañaque and Pasay, especially during the Christmas season. But if the traffic isn't so much of an issue to you as compared to the other struggle of finding a parking spot and stomaching the fees, there is one solution you can try: The new Parqal shopping mall is offering its basement parking for free.

Free parking at Parqal until further notice
Nope, it's not a scam. Parqal announced on its Facebook page that the mall's basement parking is free indefinitely, or in their words, "until further notice."
There's no caveat with this free parking announcement as the operating hours are pretty reasonable: From Mondays to Thursdays, it's open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and from Fridays to Sundays, it opens at the same time but closes later at 11 p.m. For interested motorists, the entrance to the basement parking is at Luz Drive and the exit is at Cabrera Drive.
What can you do at Parqal? Because the mall is fairly new (JICYDK: it only opened in the last week of September) the space isn't fully occupied just yet, but what we've noticed is a gradual increase of restaurants, cafés, apparel outlets, electronics stores, and venues for entertainment opening in the area, such as the 24-hour arcade No. 9 Animation City. Another free thing you can do at this mall is bask in its wide-open, pet-friendly spaces.
Parqal is along Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard, Tambo, Parañaque City. For more information, check out Parqal's Facebook page.
