 * Keep and re-write. Has received coverage in Reuters and The Philippine Star amongst other sources. AusLondonder (talk) 08:14, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep one of the largest retail companies in the Philippines. It needs some improvements though and additional citations from these Google News sources.--RioHondo (talk) 15:39, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment The creator of this article was blocked for 1 week for abusing multiple accounts. On both accounts the user edited this article and made it seem promotional. I currently don't have an opinion on whether or not it should be deleted, but just keep that in mind. &mdash; Music1201  talk  22:29, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep, the largest retail operator in the Visayas region, one of the three main island group divisions of the Philippines. As verified by an independent source (Euromonitor) and a stock exchange listed company.Hariboneagle927 (talk) 05:48, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment This article should never have had a speedy deletion tag placed, let alone twice. This is about a major regional stock exchange listed company with coverage in the international press. Clear case of WP:GEOBIAS. A London Stock Exchange or New York Stock Exchange company would never have been subjected to such a rush of hostility. AusLondonder (talk) 16:20, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter how important the company is: if the article reads like an advertisement then it can be speedily deleted. The original tag was removed by the article creator so I simply replaced it. The article has now been improved slightly so there is no longer a need to consider speedy deletion, but the list of store addresses and most of the pictures need to be removed. . .

 * It wasn't initially apparent the tag was removed by the author, as it was a sockpuppet account. WP:G11 does state "If a subject is notable and the content could plausibly be replaced with text that complies with neutral point of view, this is preferable to deletion." AusLondonder (talk) 16:56, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Apparently an I.P which may or may not be the creator keeps on adding uncited and promotional corporate fluff on the article. I have reduced the content again.Hariboneagle927 (talk) 06:52, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
