Honestly there's a lot more to explore than Greenfield. There are condos in the Ortigas area. Try and check out the Sapphire Block in Ortigas, it's nearer to Robinsons Galleria. Last we checked units there were priced at 22k for a basic unit. The Greenfield area is too crowded and is near a major road which is Shaw Blvd. So yes humidity there is atrocious. But on the Ortigas side the traffic and humidity isn't as bad as Greenfield.

Saw you before the fireworks. I was with my kid so wasn't able to say Hi. We prefer greenfield because it's in the middle of QC and Makati. So just a quick drive or mrt ride. The kalayaan bridge also made it convenient to go to BGC. Overall, if you want to be in the middle of the metro, greenfield is a great option. If you just want overall convenience packed in 1 city, then go for BGC.

Tip: When going to Megamall and Podium you can pass inside Shangrila Mall so you won’t feel warm & sweaty going to Megamall.. and you can also pass inside Megamall until you reach Bldg. A when going to Podium.. those are the locals technique when walking through those malls. We don’t walk outside for 15 mins like you did or we’ll sweat as if we worked out. 3-5mins outside walk transferring between these malls is what the locals do. There are shortcuts in betwen those malls that you only need to walk 3-5 min between them😊

Excellent tip. Many of the buildings in Greenfield District are in fact interconnected. In fact you can get from Twins Oaks Place all the way to Shangri-la without once hitting the busy sweaty streets of Shaw Boulevard in 5 minutes and from Shangri-la to Mega-Mall within another 5 minutes thru the short cuts. Mergim basically took the "circular way" to Mega-Mall that's why it took a good 15-20 minutes.

I used to spend my holidays in my in-law’s condo in St-Francis Shangri-la apartments, and loved it there. Huge swimming pool, full gym. Direct connection to Shangri la mall and hotel. My room looked over the Greenfield district, and I enjoyed that area. From memory one of the exits from the mall comes out across the street from Greenfield. There’s plenty of good dining options in Shang mall, and the hotel has live music some nights. The complex is a bit older now, so might be a bit more affordable. One thing compared to BGC and Makati is you won’t see as many expats around, I don’t know if that makes a difference to you. Good luck on your hunt.

If you want affordable stuff you can buy from nearby while if you want expensive brand name stuff it is also available nearby. Personally I feel Greenfield/Ortigas is more a neighborhood for upper-miidle class while BGC is for the elites/wealthy.

As I said before, I have never considered living in BGC, in my almost 11 years living in Manila. I just don't understand the attraction of it. Too expensive and rather antiseptic, people trying to avoid living the actual Philippines reality. How did you have to go to EDSA to get to the Podium???? You go out the back of Megamall and cross the road to get to the Podium. From Greenfields, you don't have to use EDSA at all. There are cut through roads at the backside to get to Megamall, the Podium, Robinsons Galleria. Same for Capital Commons, Estancia, Ayala 30th Mall, etc. Podium to Greenfields is a 10 minute walk through the back streets.

I think Greenfield or Ortigas is very old Business District in PH, maybe around in 70s, 80s, or 90s. While BGC is very new, so they should have learned some lessons on Urban planning. I guess PH MMDA has a lot on their plate & lots of work to do.

I don't think so Mergim. Each district has its own charm and ambiance. In fact a lot of developments are coming. It will really depend on ones needs and affordability to capture the mind of an end user. Developments like in Pasay wc they call the entertainment area, Parañaque where condos are sprouting. the Subic area, the Quezon city area is also undergoing facelifts. The reclamation area has been halted temporarily but will also resume. By 2090 the Philippines will be included in the top 20 economies. In between today and 2090 significant growths will occur rapidly including the railway system. I just hope that by that time I'm still around. ATM, enjoy what the Philippines has to offer.

Biggest advantage you can have living in Shaw is your EXPENSES because you're quite close to the Major Malls like SM, Robinson, Starmall and even those the local store ones. Downside? I'd suggest you don't dwell around 11pm onwards at night in areas that doesn't have a lot of people because you're Shaw/Ortigas (Where Greenfield is and near at) is what METRO MANILA really is and with the amount of people, there'll be some spots where it will be kinda dangerous to SNATCHERS, HOLDUPERS etc. when you compare to BGC. Another one was the lack of open space where you can JOG at night and even daytime especially if you want to jog a lil far BUT... if you're planning on staying LONG TERM then probably in like 5 years or more time then there's a good chance for the Ortigas Area to kind of surpass BGC in terms of almost everything because there are a lot of developments happening there and around it's neighbouring places too. For example, Bridgetown which is EAST of Ortigas is a new IT-Park. I heard that they're planning to turn that place into something like a mini-BGC. Then the train lines that are also being develop will probably operation around 5 years time. Overall, Ortigas Area will be like the CENTER of all the business district in METRO MANILA But that is a question of whether or not you're planning to stay for the long term which is obviously a HARD thing to answer honestly

Listen my friend, I am from the same part of the world as you, and every time I go to the Philippines now I always stay in Soho Central (next to Twin Oaks) and I plan to buy a condo there when I move to the Philippines permanently. The area is actually perfect for me, I really don’t like BGC, mainly because everything is so spread out, and you have to spend a lot of time outside either in the pouring rain or the sweltering heat. I was screaming at the TV yesterday, because you totally missed the crossing from Greenfield to Shangri-La under the underpass, it’s opposite chowking, where the jeepney terminal is just after you cross Mayflower Street. It will cut your journey time from Twin oaks to Shangri-La, down to 3 or four minutes And there is a back entrance just there in Shaw Boulevard. I normally walk through the back of Shangri-La, out the other side into megamall, cut through the back of megamall and into the podium. Shouldn’t take any more than about 15 minutes to visit 4 huge malls without having to brave the weather extremes, you can’t do that in BGC. Plus of course mrt on your doorstep and Starmall less than 5 minutes on the other side of Edsa.

I live in the East Tower, high floor. I suggest that if you are to pick a unit, facing Ortigas will be best because it’s way way cooler than the units facing west. I only use AC at night and it stays cool the entire day. But if you don’t mind using the AC for a long time, the other side facing Greenfield is also ok. The advantage of Greenfield to BGC is the connectivity to the MRT that will take you literally anywhere in Manila: Ayala Makati, SM North, U-Belt, Mall of Asia, etc. Greenfield/Ortigas is considered the center of Metro Manila. That said, I still find BGC more convenient for a daily city living if you don’t intend to travel and explore the city all the time.

Hi Mergim. I was on my way to work passing through the street beside that Greenfields Christmas tree when the choir was singing the Christmas carols. If I had gone inside the greenspace area, I might have seen you. But going to Greenfields Shaw Boulevard for a daily commute from Quezon City is easier than going to BGC via Guadalupe or Ayala Avenue. For Filipinos commuting to work, BGC is farther, more expensive, and more time-consuming. You will need to live there inside BGC to enjoy its conveniences but the expensive rent and cost of living is not worth it unless you're wealthy or an expat with foreign-sourced income.

You don't know your way yet around your area, Greenfield to Shangrila to Megamall to Podium. You should have crossed Shaw Blvd not on EDSA but on a pedestrian lane underneath the bridge. You won't missed (but you did) as there's a police station along the way. Once you crossed Shaw, you would get inside Shangrila Mall and then get yourself into Megamall and Podium. Returning to Greenfield, there are 2 ways to go back. Either you walk along San Miguel Ave or St Francis Ave to arrive at Shaw Blvd again and Greenfield. That would have been easy. Ultimately, it's all about price, location and convenience. Whichever gives you the most of the 3, then it serves the purpose.

Hello. There is no problem during rainy season in BGC as there are many places to eat or take a temporary shelter. BGC experienced no flooding

Used to have a lot of muggers on that Kalayaan Bridge. An officemate of mine, big guy, works out, was mugged in that area way back 2009. Not sure nowadays though.

You can do intros at the Greenfield weekend market space 😉 Try and get some condos with more balcony space (shadow/deeper), then you can settle with fans that resuces cost for ekectricoty a lot 👍🤭

That Shaw boulevard crossing has snatchers and pickpockets so be careful when walking around that area.

May I recommend a one-bedroom unit in BGC that is at Parkwest condo just behind the Hyatt hotel. You can rent the unit for only P35k, fully furnished.

Hi Mergim, good decision on your part after weighing your options. The BGC Chairman stays. It's what works for you personally really. 👍

Greenfield is not out to replace BGC rather to be another option and alternative. No doubt it will grow with the speed of BGC in the next five, ten years. I hope to see it before I become decrepit.
