Alturas Mall

Overview

Alturas Mall is the flagship of the Alturas Group, a Bohol-based commercial developer rooted in Tagbilaran City. The Tagbilaran branch sits in Poblacion II, the city’s central commercial barangay, within the same cluster as AH Shoppers Mart, Alta Citta Mall, and Bohol Quality Mall. The group also runs a second mall in Talibon serving the north Bohol market.

As the provincial capital’s major private mall operator, Alturas Mall is a default reference point for shopping and services in Tagbilaran — supermarket goods, garments, electronics, and a food court. Its position near the hospital district (GCGMMC, Ramiro Community Hospital) and the heritage site Balili Heritage House puts it inside the city’s central orientation zone for visitors.

Alturas Mall is the original downtown retail site of the Alturas Group of Companies (AGC), a Tagbilaran-based conglomerate founded by Marlito Uy that began around 1973 as a single sari-sari store. Uy has described the company’s growth in stages: “We started out as a sari-sari store. Then it became a grocery, mini supermarket, supermarket, mini mall and mall.” By the early 2020s AGC — which also runs Marcela Farms Inc. (established 1996) and has since expanded into Cebu and Mandaue — employed roughly 15,000 people across its retail, agro-industrial, and hospitality operations, and had built three malls in Tagbilaran plus additional branches in Talibon and Tubigon. This entry covers the group’s original, older flagship downtown branch, distinct from the newer four-level Alta Citta Mall.

Exact floor area and opening date remain unconfirmed.

Location

Poblacion II, Tagbilaran City. Tagbilaran is the capital of Bohol province, the main hub for inter-island ferries from Cebu and domestic flights via Bohol-Panglao International Airport.

From the Tagbilaran pier, a tricycle reaches Poblacion II in about 10 minutes. From the Dao terminal (the main bus/jeepney hub), a tricycle covers the run toward the city centre. From Bohol-Panglao International Airport, the drive to Tagbilaran City centre takes about 20–25 minutes.

2026-07-28 research round (parking + tenant list tags): Parking — found a visitor review quoted on Alturas Mall Tagbilaran — Wanderlog confirming paid on-site parking with a 2-hour free period (“you have to pay the parking. Only 2 hours for free”); added to Practical Info. The specific per-hour rate after the free period (an AI-search-summary figure of “20 PHP/hour” surfaced repeatedly but could not be traced to any actual quoted review or official page after multiple targeted searches — e.g. "Alturas Mall" parking "20" pesos OR php per hour returned only unrelated Alturas locations in the US/Chile) was treated as unverified and NOT written into the file; tag narrowed to just the rate and left in place. Tenant list — confirmed two additional named tenants via credible sources: Greenwich Pizza, via its own Facebook page titled “Greenwich Alturas Mall | Tagbilaran City” (facebook.com/gwplazamarcela, accessed 2026-07-28), and an LTO Licensing Extension Office on the mall’s 4th floor, per Bohol Tribune, “LTO reopens at ICM, Alturas Mall” (2020-05-18), accessed 2026-07-28 (quotes mall manager Stella Fullido). A lead suggesting an Ideal Vision optical shop at “Alturas Mall” turned out on closer inspection to be the Talibon branch, not Tagbilaran (idealvision.ph/stores, accessed 2026-07-28) — excluded as a false lead. No single comprehensive/official tenant directory for the Tagbilaran mall was located; the full-list tag remains open for a future pass (next angle to try: on-site photos of the mall directory board, or Instagram location tags at instagram.com/explore/locations/576380119189735/).
