    nice! its mindblowing isnt it? this is just another face to the philippines that is unfrotuantely little reported or deemed 'not the real philipipnes' by people who dont understand how it works here. its a really diverse country with literally every kind of vibe and place you could imagine (short of snow). the development is inclusive and is shows how rapidly people are entering the middle classes and upper classes. all of these places were built from the ground up by local companies and land developers who responded to the demand for better places to work and 'fancy areas' to match a lot of the moderately disposable income here.
    i work in ayala (the place you got the bus change) but i live out in the province. its a pretty normal thing for filipinos in the middle classes to straddle between the new world/futuristic philippines and the old familiar philippines on a daily basis, since the country's in this big transitory phase. for middle class filipinos and those entering the middle classes - places like bgc, makati, ortigas, eastwood, bay city, alabang, mandaluyong, it park etc are where we all work the typical office jobs or do clerical/customer support jobs; but most middle class people still live out in the provinces or the crazy chaotic streets of the older districts of the cities; either in subdivisions, condos/apartments, or typical cheek by jowl family built houses. many are the first gen in their families to socially mobilize, so if youre a millennial or gen z, your parents could have been farmers or worked in the street markets or went abroad doing nursing, but thanks to their sacrifices you benefit by having a full education and getting your family's foot into the middle class lifestyle. this is the effect of all the filipinos working hard abroad. this is where their money and investments were going into the whole time.
    so for millennials and gen z filipinos (and diasporics like myself), ppl work in the fancy areas, get a drink or some after work dinner with workmates somewhere in the more budget friendly places; or occasionally go out to the fancy bars maybe for birthdays or occassions, but everyone commutes or drives back out to the peace of the surrounding provinces or to the old chaotic parts of the city where the rent is cheaper. then on the weekends people would get their friends or family together to drive up to baguio or drive south to the beaches in batangas, or the highlands around tagaytay or antipolo and experience that pristine side of the country. occassionally people also return to their 'ancestral hometowns' in different parts of the country (i.e. the rural Visayas or rural parts of Luzon) where it seems untouched by the modern world altogether. You get to live many different lives in the Philippines. I dont think that really exists in other neighboring southeast asian countries with maybe the exception of indonesia. All the other countries in this region are either fully developed like singapore, thailand or malaysia, or very underdeveloped like laos, cambodia or myanmar. This country is squarely between those two extremes and has flavors of both sides while still being safe and friendly. everyone here is hoping the country becomes the 'next malaysia' since it seems to be rapidly developing in the same way malaysia did back in the 80s and 90s. You should give the LRT 2 or MRT trains a try. I wouldn't go during rush hour (7-9am and 5-8pm) though, its brutal then!
