Review

During the weekend, it’s a great place to bring the family and enjoy nature. Not only is it a great spot for a date in Manila, but it’s also a great venue to bring your family during the Christmas holidays.

It's also the perfect place to visit in Makati for those who want to squeeze in a run or a workout and working professionals who want to have lunch outside and for families.

You can break out a sweat by jogging and taking a selfie afterward at the Make It Makati sign.

If you happen to drop by on the first Sunday of the month and looking for things to do in Makati, you can check out the Makati Street Meet which is a haven for food and music lovers.

Review

A mall which is to be considered as the top shopping mall in the country/state. It has all the branded that you need naming from Louis Vuitton, Dior, Patek Philippe and so on. This mall is huge, there’s like Greenbelt 2,3,4,5 and it connects to other malls as well. It’s great to walk around especially in the middle outdoor of the mall there’s an outdoor park where you can walk around, and chill. The way the mall is arranged is brilliant. The spacious corridors and cleanliness of the building make for a good atmosphere. One of the best malls in Asia.
