And about property, well, last few months, some friends who got their apartment released were regretting their decision to park money in Manila .. even those built by Reputed developer has floors lifting up, shoddy doors, and bad plumbing ..
I guess you need to budget, Singapore style, a renovation cost to move into those units
And visiting another 'reputed' developer's Landed house, I was a bit more than amazed, when a little bang on the wall felt like I was hitting on chip-board wall .. pretty hollow it was .. and I surmise that's how they can deliver 'cheap housing .. ' starting from as low as 3000 peso a month for repayment ..

So do you recommend to fish at High Society or just go there to really party?
As for the property, I won't be buying any till I paid off my current one. It be a retirement home for me..and yes when i do a visit, the partition is concrete with the other unit but within the unit, the wall are gysum board. I am pretty surprise coz in HDB, the wall in the same unit are all concrete man.
The quality of the condo I will say is not as good as Singapore but for the price and compare to where most filipino stay it is pretty good. I brought my gf for a walk around my future home, I am not impressed but she is like wow here wow there.. so you can tell SG standard is way above a typical filipino expectation. End of the day I buy the unit coz of the prime, safe, quiet and flood free location only
