GREENBELT MALL PROHIBITS POOR PEOPLE? That's what the sign said

“This is a private, controlled environment. Poor people and other 

disturbing realities strictly prohibited. 

Thank You!”

This sign was allegedly seen posted at the Greenbelt in Makati, owned by the Ayala Land Corporation and it elicited a lot of adverse reactions.

The Ayala Land Corporation was quick to react and issued this statement: 

“This is regarding the alleged signage that has been posted today, 

24 March 2011, at the Greenbelt Mall, a photo of which has been 

circulating online. This signage is not authorized and is not part of 

Greenbelt ’s official mall signage.We would like to reassure everyone that 

Greenbelt is for the enjoyment of the public and the community it serves.

The Ayala Malls Management does not tolerate any pranks. 

We shall be coordinating with the proper authorities for corresponding 

actions to be taken.”

The management insisted that it was a hoax, many have read it already before it was taken away. So, what do you think? Who's telling what?
