I used to lived in BGC before it was BGC then I moved to New York City in 2007 and left the place in 2018 to Texas. I must say BGC is way better than New York City for some reasons. first there’s so many people in New York City and many people there feels like they are way better than other people And there’s always Clash of different cultures over there. The noise in New York City is so loud. You don’t have any peace of mind because of the noise and the fast pace of life. On the other hand, BGC, is chill, clean, affordable and peaceful.

Guys, I suggest that you buy umbrellas that you could place in your bags, in case you get caught in the rain. The Ber months September 1, starts the Christmas season in the 😂Philippines and usually ends by the feast of the three kings in January. Having stayed in New York City in the past, I would consider BGC much better, cleaner, safer, no homeless people. BGC is somewhat similar to the city of Calgary, in the province of Alberta, in Canada.

Church bells ringing, morning mass, Christmas carols, Christmas cards and. exchange gifts. Christmas parties at schools and offices. Traditional star lanterns and many more.

BGC and New York each have their own unique charms, but it’s true-they’re not exactly comparable in terms of size or global influence. New York is iconic for its sheer scale, diversity, and its status as a cultural and financial hub. However, BGC shines in areas that make it special in its own right. BGC is known for its cleanliness, modern infrastructure, and well-planned spaces, giving it a distinct advantage when it comes to organization and ease of getting around. While NYC’s hustle and bustle is unmatched, BGC offers a more relaxed, community-oriented vibe, where everything feels conveniently within reach. It’s polished and vibrant, and often draws comparisons to places like Singapore and Sydney for its urban planning and livability. The fact that BGC has that unique blend of sophistication and ease in such a compact space is what makes it truly stand out. Both cities have their magic, but BGC has a charm all its own!❤️❤️❤️

I'm Filipino American, born and raised in Queens, NY and have lived and worked in BGC. I can assure you that BGC has nothing to do with NYC and can't be compared to NYC. Just Singapore is bigger and better than BGC. BGC is great for the Philippines and is home to many global back office operations. It is a model for what the future of the Philippines can look like, but let's not compare a tiny neighborhood in Manila to one of the 4 alpha cities on earth. Makes no sense to compare just based on scale and GDP of the US vs Philippines. It's not remotely similar enough to compare. Compare London or Tokyo to NYC, not a tiny neighborhood.
