Cecilia Abreu, who was then Assistant Vice President for Store Operations.  As is usually the case with Mr. Sy, he dropped by the Shoe section, checked the shoes and sandals, and then asked a few questions to the sales clerks. “Marami pa ba nito? Are these fast-moving?” The questions did not stop there. Holding one sandal, he asked Abreu a question that stayed with her: “Can our customers still afford to buy our sandals at this price?”  “Ang iniisip niya talaga is kaya pa ba ‘to ng customer.
