Manila just starting to build while Jakarta it has been built and will be enjoyed  |
I just explained how SCBD and Kuningan arent even comparable to BGC or Makati because those are small areas and are like little islands compared to our main CBDs. Also, there are nice areas all over Metro Manila, not just BGC and Makati.
A lot of people live and work in the Ortigas/Eastwood/Greenhills CBD and dont even go to BGC or Makati on a regular basis. Same with Alabang. It’s a CBD thats very far from Makati or BGC but offers the same quality of life, if not better.
There’s lots of nice neighborhoods in Quezon City, Marikina, Parañaque, Las Piñas. None of these areas has a major CBD in it and it covers are very large part of Metro Manila.
Many tourists stay in Ermita/Malate (old downtown Manila) and see the old part of the city like Intramuros (Spanish Manila), Binondo (Chinatown), Rizal Park and the many museums around the park. So thats a completely different experience from Makati or BGC.
Other tourists stay in Bay City or Newport City by the airport. That area is mostly devoted to leisure. Lots of huge resorts, casinos and malls. And there’s more and more still being built. Everything is basically built for tourists who are staying in Manila short term. So this is a different experience from someone staying in Malate/Ermita or someone staying in BGC or Makati.
These are all different parts of Manila, in different areas and they all offer different experiences.
