'''Forum Robinsons''' (formerly '''Robinsons Place Pioneer''') was a shopping mall in Mandaluyong, Metro Manila, Philippines, owned and operated by Robinsons Land.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.robinsonsmalls.com/mall-info/forum-robinsons|title=Mall Info {{!}} Robinsons Malls|last=Malls|first=Robinsons Malls Robinsons|website=Robinsons Malls|access-date=July 2, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://malaya.com.ph/business-news/living/10th-fit-fun-wellness-buddy-run|title=10th Fit & Fun Wellness Buddy Run|website=malaya.com.ph|access-date=July 2, 2017}}</ref> The mall opened on November 17, 2004. It is the 18th mall opened by Robinsons and was its first mall in Mandaluyong.

Back then, the mall was envisioned to become a one-stop shop for everyone in Cybergate Complex, which was conceived to become a cyber hub in the city.<ref>{{cite news|author=Philippine Star|title=Robinsons Cybergate Complex comes alive|url=http://www.philstar.com/modern-living/572873/robinsons-cybergate-complex-comes-aliveh|access-date=June 18, 2014|newspaper=The Philippine Star|date=May 8, 2010}}</ref> In 2010, the mall was renamed to its current name to re-position itself as a cyber lifestyle mall focusing on IT products and to align itself with the vision of the Cybergate Complex.

The mall closed on April 30, 2022, to give way for its redevelopment works, originally set to start in early 2020 but delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. The redevelopment will feature a six-storey mall and four new office towers dubbed "The Jewel."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bilyonaryo.com/2022/01/09/robinsons-to-shut-down-forum-mall-on-april-30-frederick-go-to-build-luxury-mall-office-towers-on-prime-edsa-spot3/|title = Robinsons to shut down Forum mall on April 30: Frederick Go to build luxury mall, office towers on prime EDSA spot|date = January 9, 2022}}</ref>
