I Went to Philippines Most Expensive Area

[@RayDee-y4l]

A lot of foreigners or Filipinos who grew up elsewhere think BGC is the most expensive place because that’s the only area they have access to. But they’re wrong and uninformed. The real and old rich live in gated communities mostly in Makati, like in Forbes Parks, Dasmarinas, Urdaneta, Bel-Air. Some are in Mandaluyong, Quezon City, Pasig, or Muntinlupa (White Plains - lots of celebrities live here, Greenmeadows, Wack-Wack village - that has the Wack-Wack golf club) Some of the house and lots can go up to billions of Philippine peso. But foreigners can’t access or own these places because our laws forbids foreigners from owning land in the Philippines. BGC is mostly just for condos and offices.

Prices in BGC are outrageous. 37th flr, 3 bedrooms and doesn’t look spacious is already at ₱77 million? And if there’s a fire, how do people from that floor all go down safely? You’ll even have a hard time going to the parking lot. Just buy an empty lot and build your ideal home. It’ll be a bit more expensive (engineers, architects etc) but you own the lot and house, vehicles are stored in your garage and you’ll have the option if you want a small home but with a large garden. You can have a mini farm and grow your own food.

[@rieanne]

Yea, but if you're a foreigner with no direct Filipino family, you can't just buy land. And the stairs are built in, no architects, engineers or permits would allow a modern building to be built without the fire safety codes in place. High-rises are not built with wood, so fires would be isolated/not spread as far as highly combustible building material. Some people don't have the time to tend a garden, let alone a farm and would need to hire help for that. Maybe people also like being in a high-amenity central area that covers all their needs with convenience due to their business/ career-focused and social lifestyles. But for those who want to be self-reliant and closer to nature, yes, the option to grow an edible garden in your own plot of land is an ideal option.

Actually BGC, Makati, Alabang etc.. are some of the expensive, fancy and most expensive or richest areas of the Philippines in terms of businesses, financial hubs or luxurious condo, gated subdivision, villages, townhouses or apartment complex. But in terms of home/land property like mansions with wide ranch/ farmlands, resorts near the beach, or property on top of a hill overlooking a city or a town it's all spread out across the Philippians. Most of the rich individual have a property mansions distant from the main cities mostly in provinces and away from the hectic city life. It's advisable to have your own land property than live in a luxurious penthouse condo unit in a building in the Philippines worst case scenario is the when earthquake hits your area every thing collapses, fire would break in some units and spreads to other parts of the building, issue with the buildings developer or problems with land rights where the building is built.

[@lupiarch9784]

Some might think that Forbes, Bel-Air, and BGC are where the rich live (That's true) but the really rich Filipinos have their own Haciendas. If you want to see where they live, you will have to go to the provinces where their "villas" and "haciendas" are located. Needless to say, they also have houses in BGC and Makati for convience but it's really the "family homes" or "balwartes" you should look for if you're looking for really rich Filipinos.

BGC may seem luxurious at first glance, but it's only because that area was commercialized recently (a decade or so; it used to be just flat open land). That's why the entire city looks clean, and modern because the buildings/infrastructure of the area, and even the roads are new compared to neighboring cities who have been established decades before that (Mandaluyong, Pasay, Manila, QC etc) The real old money rich people either lives in Makati (Salcedo, Urdaneta, Bel-Air, Rockwell, Forbes, Dasmaranias) or Ayala Alabang down south. The people you will find in BGC are mostly 30% EXPAT/Foreigners and 30% Upper/Middle Class. Sadly, the remaining 40% roaming around that area are what we call "estetiks/aesthetics" (or poor people who dress up nicely by buying fake brands that look expensive to pretend they're above their class). The surrounding area of BGC on the north and east side are squatter area. So you will mostly see on the outerskirts of BGC, particulary venice mall, market market, sm aura are squatter people.

Residents from the first world countries with not enough money saved go to the Philippines because they can retire comfortably using their SS benefits and maybe dip a little bit into their retirement savings and stretch it out until death. New rich overseas Filipinos buy a lot of these condominium units because they’re feeling nostalgic about life in the Philippines. Live there for a month or two and lock it. Buying a house for them is a great desire but paying someone to live in it and the person paid to take care of it doesn’t know a thing about care and maintenance. Also, the children of these new rich Filipinos don’t have a desire to live in the Philippines long term. Maybe just stay there for a week or two.

I think the most expensive area is Gasoline station Like shell petron and caltext so expensive

Welcom to our humble country sir jamie zu...as of now bgc, 2nd makati..bgc is safer

[@NghtMonster]

These are not close to the most expensive at all. What I don't like bout Philippine condo real estate is that the interiors of what people consider luxury are small and quite ugly interiors. Not worth the asking price.

[@Livinginthephils65]

Yes, very basic compared to luxury condos in the U.S.A. and Canada.

I don't want to comment negatively but Filipino Politicians can afford buying a property in the Philippines worth AUD$ 1,000,000 😊

[@amazonseller-yf8vv]

It's a huge mistake to think that most foriegners should look at real estate in BGC, in fact the real estate there only makes sense for the tiny percentage of people who must live there for work or busisness reasons, but most foriegners aren't allowed to work in the Philipines at all and they can find similar appartments and condos in other beautiful locations of the philipines for 100k AU which is less that 1/20th of the price!!! BGC is drastically over priced and just doesn't make sense for most people, locals or foriegners because unless you absolutley must be there, you can get so much more for your money in other areas of the Philipines!!!

[@shaqisumari304]

It is so expensive, more than KL

forbes park is the most expensive residential houses in the philippines

[@WineSippingCowboy]

I was in The Philippines 🇵🇭 in 2022. This is not the most expensive place there. Aside from corruption and entrepreneurship, the other way to make it in rich 💰 areas is to have human resources. Who you know will get you more done than what you know alone.

[@Amir-rv6cd]

BGC is so expensive but if you go at back they're have a lot of homeless people living on the slum sad but thats true Philippines is CORRUPTION 🙄🙄🙄😒😒😒

[@md929]

I bought preselling condo in BGC for 50 million pesos. Comes with parking.

[@RelaxEntertainmentTV]

Lol basically to have that kind of lifestyle, you need to work outside the Philippines or work for an international company in the Philippines (basically like working outside the country) Yeah, if you're an average Filipino there is no way you can afford such a lifestyle. You need to marry a foreigner.

[@leonardonaddytolentino6494]

DANGEROUS IS ALL OVER THE WORLDS!

[@winterbear6595]

Ngl, those Forbes houses don't even look like it's worth a billion! And the area doesn't look so expensive, I mean the pent house in Rockwell Makati and BGC are way better looking and the surroundings are top notch! Forbes is just overrated!

[@skilleddog2968]

He was surprised when he learned that average worker earns 400D a month. And average Filipino could never dream of living a luxury like that.

[@miceymolander]

After 50 years, your condominiums would have lowered in value. The most expensive homes would be the ones with land.

You should have went to Heart Evangelista’s home then you’ll see luxury in Philippines

[@natadodo1564]

Living in the Philippines is so inconvenient.

[@allwaysanimaze]

interview a normal worker, instead of a pre planned agent/broker, there you will see the biggest difference on the so called affordability 90% of the normal workers cannot afford to purchase. you will encounter a lot of interesting information, good luck and cheers!

Please go to Bacolod City, Negros Occidental!
