August 15th, 2028. Quezon City, Philcoa.
The sky was clear, and the sun shone brightly over the old Citi Mall Philcoa. A fleet of construction vehicles, including excavators and bulldozers, surrounded the dilapidated building. Workers in hard hats and neon vests moved purposefully, preparing for the demolition.
Michael Reyes stood at a safe distance, watching the scene unfold. Bridget and Juliet stood beside him, sharing his sense of anticipation. The construction firm had been hired to bring down the old mall, marking the first major step in the redevelopment project.
Today marks the end of an era and the beginning of a new one," Michael said.
A loud horn blared, signaling the start of the demolition. The excavators roared to life, their massive arms swinging into action. The first blow struck the building's facade, sending a cloud of dust into the air. Brick by brick, the old mall began to crumble.
