    Wow! P1.4k/night is a good take there. The room is neat at promising in aesthetics. Not bad. Good take. For me, I still love the ambiance of the community in Alabang. It is more quiet and far away from the busy highways of the metro.

    I think my place is underrated. I live in Ortigas BCD and is very walkable. They even close the streets on the weekend for a weekend market . But the best thing I love about the place is it's in the center of Metro Manila. I have everything I needed in Ortigas but if I want to go to BGC Makati or Quezon City it's very close

    I heard that SM Megamall will undergo a redevelopment soon that will add 20,000 square meters of leasable space and will provide shoppers with brighter, wider hallways, more open spaces & higher ceilings. Parking will also be upgraded with over 1,000 additional parking slots. The redevelopment will commence next month so you may wanna watch out for that and maybe show us the result when it's finally done. Tnx!

    There are taxi bays in between 2 buildings of SM megamall and also you can pin your grab there so you wont get soak in the rain. I know its hard to figure out the other entrances and exits if you are not a regular sm megamall goer. There is also shortcut if you are greenfield going to Megamall, just by passing through Shangrila Mall.

    What I don’t like about most condos here in Metro Manila is the very low ceiling. I’ve always complained about it in the past, like if office buildings can have high floor to ceiling height, why can’t condos and residential buildings have higher ceilings too? This is why a 45 floor office building can be higher than a 60 floor residential building, or both can have the same height.

  • @badboylimmy
