Scary and weird display at Marcella SM Cagayan de Oro branch Scary and weird display at Marcella SM Cagayan de Oro branch

Or don’t these... [This way please...]

I say strategic because apart from the fact that it is right within the vicinity of the island’s capital town, it is located in front of the famous White Island. So for those of you who want to spend more time at White Island... [This way please...]
