It won't replace BGC, it will just be added to the collection of presentable urbanized areas in Metro Manila.

[@ponypower8]

Saw your remark. I think the words "modern" or "upscale" are more appropriate adjectives instead of "presentable".

[@mannyv.3171]

The Philippines has the most modern mall in the world ……

What will replace BGC is Horizon Manila Reclamation project but we have a stupid president who stopped it. 😊

One of my favorite travel blogger turned into a tourist guide in the Philippines. Seems he knows so many things in Metro Manila rather than the ordinary Filipinos residing in the city. Hehe.

[@cyt784]

Walkability and green spaces are what will make it a hangout place and make people come back again and again. If places are too widespread, it's likely to be a rare once in awhile visit. The Marikina river is a great centerpiece, they need to really take advantage of that and build nicely around it. Think Amsterdam or Chicago.

[@pokemonhacker01]

true. didn't see public transport in the video too

[@alexamist13]

Ngl, I'm really liking your content. It feels like a cut above the rest compared to other Travel/Country Vloggers because you actually explore the rest of the country, including making vlogs about current and future developments in some of the provinces instead of just making vlogs about the women and the typical tourists spots like some foreign content creators do. Anyway, cheers from New York!

[@rexalexmacedon]

no, bridgetowne won't replace bgc. it's smaller, and not ideally located like bgc. bridgetowne will, however, most likely siphon off crowds from eastwood, which is just a kilometer or two down the road on c5.

The problem w Robinsons is however classy they are in the beginning, they turn pan masa after a few years with their noisy tiangges filling every empty space available. It has been a trend in their developments since the 80s.

finally an actually high end looking mall from robinsons compared to known as the broken 1900s mall

[@rizellenacha7891]

Nice and beautiful place

[@axizcorp]

Bridgetowne is nice but outside, C5 traffic will become more horrible in the years to come. Commuting from other cities will be a hassle coming from other cities. Bridgetowne wasn't acquired by Robinsons, they already owned it. It used to be Litton Mills, CFC URC factory, all under JG Summit. I thought when I was there Litton Mills was huge but never imagined it was bigger. The problem I see in the future is the parking hope they have the foresight to deal it the future.

Hi Mergim. Have you been to Centris just beside Quezon Boulevard MRT station? That place all the way to the new Solaire Casino Hotel used to be a huge slum area but now it’s full of skyscrapers along EDSA. I was actually amazed with the transformation.

[@kahawaiihele]

The problem with these townships like Eastwood or Bridgetown is that they are too small and can get way too fishbowl-like in a Hurry. BGC is very different as it ranges from Uptown to High Street, Forbes, Market-Market, and SM Aura, and we can even include the Mckinley and Venice Grand Canal Mall areas. There is much more diversity. I think the next big deal will be the City of Pearl in Manila Bay.

[@zndtravel2650]

Good point, but I even though McKinley and Venice is technically part of BGC, I wouldn't include it in your consideration, since it's too far to walk to from central BGC. Also, the estate beside Bridgetowne, called Park Links, will be inter-connected with Bridgetowne, essentially approx doubling its size from an end-user's lifestyle perspective.

[@evangelinehortense]

Ang pinagkaiba lang bridgetowne may victor statue na iconic landmark while bgc plain lang kelangan pa ng name tag para marecognize

Ah, and Bridgetowne is right on my doorstep, literally a 10-15 minute walk. And there's Eastwood just a bit further up the road. That "ugly" bridge is 4 lanes in each direction, the main artery from Paig out to Antipolo, Taytay and Rizal. But all the hipsters will tell you "BGC is the best!". Sad, really.
