Update as of January 2011:

Watch out Tagumeños as well as those residents of Davao del Norte,

Compostela Valley, Panabo City and other nearby areas. 

The next big thing to happen in this City is the opening of Gaisano Mall of Tagum.

This is probably one of the biggest mall in Tagum City.

It might be the biggest Gaisano Mall in Mindanao area, but I am sure the people of Davao would react to this statement.. Anyway, It is set to open this year (2011). It is a two connected building with an existing barangay road under it, just like the SM Mega Mall in Mandaluyong City, NCR. check out some of the photos above (most updated) and below (taken last January of this year) or simply click the link below.
