I love BGC. It can hold its own with other best city living cities in the world. For me, it's the safety and cleanliness that I find so appealing with BGC. It's one of the very few places in Manila where I find it safe to walk around with my jewelry on. I love the Greenbelt area in Makati too. Makati gives me a different energy. More of old rich, classic vibe. BGC gives me that modern, millennial vibe. I prefer to live in Makati though. Commute from Makati to BGC is not that bad, so you can enjoy both cities. Forbes Park area would be the perfect place to live, right in the middle of Makati and BGC.
1) BGC is not actually a city. It's a business district with a fancy name. But go ahead and call it what it is since that is their official registered business name. 2) BGC is in NOT in Manila. It's in Taguig -- a city on its own 2X the size of Manila. Know your geography. 3) "Metro Manila" is a region. "Manila" is just one of the many cities in it. They are NOT the same thing. Strictly speaking though, "Metro Manila" is actually an obsolete term. In an effort to clearly distinguish Manila from the rest of the region, "Metro Manila" was renamed as the "NCR" in the year 1978. "NCR" is the term used in modern registration documents esp lease contracts.
I agree Jasper about BGC being an example of what most of the Philippines could become. BGC could also have more than one meaning, Best Guy's City in addition to Bonificio Global City🤣
Metro manila subway is already under construction and it will connect BGC to other cities in metro manila so travelling between cities will be much easier soon 2028
Thank you , kabayan, for subtly hinting that BGC is NOT in Manila. It is in Taguig -- a city on its own 2x the size of Manila. Both cities are among the many cities in the Metro Manila region (more accurately, the NCR). With PHL becoming a popular tourist destination, it is right and responsible of us to guide our welcome visitors on correctly identifying the locations they go to. Mabuhay!
They need to expand BGC. I guess they can purchase and occupy the lands & houses around it. It will also be great if they could create a huge park. It would be great to keep the land behind Maybank Auditorium to Serendra as empty and transform it into an open field for different activities.
I was definitely underwhelmed by Cebu City, even the IT Park area. It was okay, but not somewhere I’d want to settle. I’m hoping to come to BGC soon and get a boots on the ground feel for it. Bohol and Boracay were actually both interesting places to consider settling in, but I’d prefer to start in a more urban area like BGC.
by end 2028 (or earlier if am not wrong) an ultramodern subway train will be operational passing through BGC (with 3 stations there i believe), making that city even more world class
BGC is nice but the old classic rich vibe of Makati always gets me. Makati's CBD area is like BGC but there are authentic alleyways and spots where you can taste the real authentic Filipino vibe. This old charm is absent in BGC because anywhere you go it's manicured and feels artificial at times.
Thank you, kabayan, for promoting correct PHL geography! Indeed, BGC is not in Manila. It is in Taguig -- a city on its own 2X the size of Manila.

Meh. Not for me. I lived in Bangkok for a year. I need a break and change in scenery when I move to Philippines in July. I'm the minority, but I actually like Cebu better than BGC. Don't get me wrong, BGC is nice, but I couldn't live there...only visit for like a week.

Yes, true
Once you get a taste of BGC life,, there’s no turning back!
Facts
Thanks showing BGC, Philippines to the world. Take care & God bless. Watching from the USA.
Salamat
Will visit BGC one day. Thanks for sharing. 🎉🎉
No prob
Love it bro, definitely my place as well. Will be there this month to live. Can't wait.
Nice bro
My place away from home
I was blown away about how much bigger BGC is than any of the bubble areas in Cebu…and nicer too.
True true!!!
It's the energy of the area.. just look at the busy shops , non empty and the mass of people spending money.. not boring with so much activities.
So true
❤️ BGC
Spectacular❤
👍
Great video!
Thank you my friend 🤝

100% agree with everything you said! 🫡

@mocabe01 ... "Know your geography"? That's not quite a friendly tone. But thanks for the correction. I appreciate it. Have a great day.
@530 I'm not here to make friends. Thanks for noticing. And you're welcome re the correction.
@@mocabe01 ... But it does not mean you can't be nice. Also, to say Manila is acceptable instead of saying Metro Manila. People will understand.
Hahaha .. sana all ..love it
Yesssss
Metro Manila shows its development.
Binondo was BGC in 1500-1900s.
Makati was BGC in 80s
BGC only happened in the early 2000s.
Very nice

Ha ha 😂
I remember bgc in year 2000, I use to work there as a bouncer there are 2 buildings standing there the pacific Plaza.
Nice
I was watching a show by Travel Escape, and he is or was in this same city. I recognized the same buildings that are in Your show. ❤️💛❤️
👍🏼
Nice
the bald guy?
You
Yup
@@BestEmail-c2t Yes.

Yes sir
Bridgetown and parklinks will compete with bgc soon, the developments are developing fast
Ok

Great plan bro
Ya Cebu was not it
For me.
I love my place there the best investment for me and my husband first home I myself bought 😅😂😂😅
Ok

Ok 👍
My fav. Stayed at Seda or F1 near high street.
Yes sir
Love both of those!
BGC is nice but the old classic rich vibe of Makati always gets me. Makati's CBD area is like BGC but there are authentic alleyways and spots where you can taste the real authentic Filipino vibe. This old charm is absent in BGC because anywhere you go it's manicured and feels artificial at times.
To each their own.
You live in cbd
?
@@JasperinthePhilippines I live in NOMA, North end of Ayala Avenue corner Malugay St.
Ok 👍
BGC--- the MOST WALKABLE CITY in the Philippines.
Yes exactly
Bgc use to be fort McKinley, it's former military base. They name that place to American press McKinley.
Oh ok 👍
Fun Fact: Bonifacio was the hero of the masses. 😂😂😂
Nice 🫡🇵🇭
I think you need to invest in video cam to give justice to the area you're filming.
I have the most expensive phone in the world.
I think you need to invest in some bifocals 🤓 doofus 😂😂😂😂
wide angle cam or phone lenses usually makes skyscrapers look shorter or smaller
Ok
Not a city, but a neighborhood in the ACTUAL City of Taguig.
Lol

Yeah you are right batman, you are in calabasas city. 😂
Lol
HOW FARS THE BEACH FROM THERE bgc
Quick ✈️
Pls give me options to rent an air b and b in bcg best area of it pls.
I haven’t done air bnb except 1 place
So you like perfection, purism & virtuousness huh?
?
@@JasperinthePhilippines Yeah well its seems so judging from what you`re saying.
Purism? Virtousness? Umm ok.

Gotcha
Different strokes for different folks
What's BSG?
Bgc
its not a city

Obviously
Lol
BCG*
Bonifacio
Connectivity , a 15 min city
?

Ok
BGC is the best city.. bcoz its NOT even a city at all..
Technically
BGC is not the best city in the world. Not in undeveloped country. Been there couple of times. Nice to visit but not to retire.
Ok chief.
Enjoy yourself
