Villar ? From what I hear from my fellow Philippino friends....they dun like him....but he might just get elected bcos he is rich and maybe GMA (and maybe army) support ?
Yes, there has been market rumours about shifting the financial centre back to Makati (even before Villar). I think its a good move....look at the traffic in Ortigas....CRAZY !
There are some earlier post by some brudders regarding buying properties in Manila. Fort is a nice place...and it up and coming. My local friends there tell me that for them, property development by Ayala Land is generally considered good. SM properties is ok but not as good as Ayala. One thing about properties in Manila, is whether they are well-maintained after several years...something to consider.
But they advised to stay away from those development by Villar (I think its Vista and Polar ?). Heard that there was a recent case in one of its condo development that they wanted to charge 50 pesos per resident each time for using the swimming pool for 100 minutes.
By the way, if not mistaken, foreigners can only buy condos/apartments, not landed properties.
