    Love your style of quickly viewing the apartment and discussion after. PLEASE always include if there's a gym/pool/game room/condo fees included. With at least a quick view or snapshot of any amenities.

    I prefer the second apartment mainly because of the B&T. The toilet bowl has a seat, which matters to me a lot. The view is also very nice.

    If you want cheaper and bigger apartments go ortigas, like Sonata Private Residences and Twin Oaks, they're around the same price as apartments you've seen but you get more space, you'll be walking distance to the biggest malls and you are also in the literal center of Metro Manila. Good luck!

    I used to live in Salcedo Village in Makati and I loved the weekend market, thats now becoming more and more famous in the last decade. It's a quiet neighbourhood and has a nice park. Hope you guys find the apartment you're looking for! Best of luck

    Try the area of Mandaluyong there's so many condos to choose from and the prices are lower than in BGC and Makati. Just few minutes from BGC and Makati. A lot of malls like Megamall, ShangriLa mall, Podium, Robinsons galleria, Capitol commons.

    IF, and only IF utilities are already included (even if it’s just electricity - believe me, if you know the rates here you’d see it’s a bargain), I would go for the last apartment.
    Otherwise, I would go for the 1st (₱25k) and the 4th (₱30k). But I would also check what amenities the building has that would be useful to you, nearby stores that would be convenient for you for your services and needs. See how big the condo building is and check with the building association how electricity of the building (for common areas) are paid. Is it already included in the monthly homeowners fee and if not, how are the rates shared with the unit owners and what the average rate is that tenants there in same bedroom pay each month.

    I would consider adding to my criteria the location with the best neighborhood, like what establishments are within walking distance. I often have to buy something late in the evening or early morning, so a convenience store that is within 3 to 5 minutes is a nice-to-have. Like when I'm binge watching a TV series and I suddenly ran out of beer and chips and its already midnight. Of course you can always use Grab Food or Grab Mart for that, but sometimes you just can't wait, you know? 😀A grocery that I could walk to because it can be impossible to get a taxi or Grab at certain times of the day. Also nearby breakfast places, lunch places, malls, etc.

    Glad to hear that you guys will be staying in PH for a year. Since you are within manila, go to binondo, montalban, bulacan, pampanga, Quezon city Circle, Antipolo etc: So many great places within metro manila to explore. For example you wanted to go to the mountains its just a few rides away from manila. If you wanted to see like a river with a bit of a hike go to WAWA DAM within montalban. Hope to see more of your videos. If you want some recommendations you can hit me with a message, I will be more than happy to give you some recommendations.🙌

    Look for transient condo units which cost less per month. My studio condo unit for example is for sale for 1.9M in a gated condo community 10 to 15 minutes away from the airport. This 21sqm studio unit is usually being rented for 10K a month.Malls, hospital, supermarket and schools are walking distance from the condo community. Utility bills in the Philippines will cost you around 5K for the electricity if you have air conditioner, refrigerator and washing machine.Water bill usually cost 1K and internet fiber connection 2K to 3K.

    If you are still staying at OYO BGC or the Pitogo/South Cembo area, there is a shortcut to Uptown BGC. Walk towards J. P. Rizal Rd and you will find a giant a wall separating BGC and Makati. At side of the wall, you will find the entrance to BGC. Not that many people know this since it doesn't show on Google Maps. Just ask around if you can't find it.

    I Like you Walking in the streets... At first,if you're a foreigner you will not like the crowded streets, chaotic certain areas in Manila, but if you stayed a lil bit longer.. you will get used into it and will just enjoy the moment. Manila is the same with any other cities in the world, just avoid certain areas which is still not good or safe.

BGC is mostly noisy at night because of sports car, motorcycle and ambulance. McKinley Hill is more cheaper than BGC. I live in McKinley for 7 years and 2 years in BGC. Good luck!
