Working at the Ortigas area is a bit cheaper than working in Makati. Transpo (goring around the are): mainly by taxi. Parking: lots of paid parking areas, but you have to arrive early if you want to have a good spot. Do's: avoid the Megamall area during a sale. Don'ts: don't go anywhere Megamall during a sale.

August 9th, 2005 10:45 AM #3wag mo lang sigurong araw arawin ang pagkain sa fast food and you'll be ok. either mag jolli jeep ka or magbaon
sa parking...unless bibigyan ka ng kumpanya e wag ka na umasa B). whole day parking can cost you 100-130 pesos easily. there used to be some lots na flat rate 30 pesos, pero alam ko nawala na un. parking at pearl drive is still free as of writing, pero syempre unahan yan.
on weekends, flat rate usually ang public parking; something like 30 pesos or so
note that there are a lot or roving tow trucks here, so be careful where you park -- you are in Bayani country, after all ;)
ok naman ung public transport dito; lots of jeeps and fxes, pwera na lang kung beyond 7pmLast edited by badkuk; August 9th, 2005 at 10:52 AM.

parking? nope... di ganun ka hirap. though sa ibang parts ng makati ok dahil may sidewalk parking... d2 wala.
megamall? avoid it during payday... sales... etc!!!
food? marami sa malls... kung foodcourt... mga P60 ok na. kung sa resto... mga P130. kaya ako nagbabaon na lang minsan.

August 9th, 2005 12:13 PM #6I've been woking in makati fr over 3 mnths now and it's not that bad. The travel time fr me is at most 30 min( since I live in pasig lang). Parking is not a problem since may 35-60 for the whole day na. Marami naman mga cheap place to eat, you just have to know where to look fr it.
Makati is hell fr me. Parking is extremely expensive; travel time is atleast an hour and thirty minutes; and traffic adds to stress.

i agree, never ko pa natsempuhan makapark sa pearl since ginawa nilang libre. badtrip pa yung isang side tinanggal ng mga vadtrif na tao yung ramp papa akyat sa slots..

Hate Makati so much hehe...
Ortigas daming flat rate parking ranging from 40-80 a day sa Emerald/Garnet/Ruby roads.
I prefer it here coz if I really need to get something for the house (grocery, medicine etc), kahit saan pwede mong lakarin.

Dami parking dito sa ortigas. Isa ako sa mga mapapalad na nkaka avail nang free parking sa Pearl Drive. 6 am kasi pasok ko.
Sa food madaming mura pero alam mo dapat kung saan hahanapin. Mas simple buhay dito compared sa makati na madaming tao.
