rush hour traveling from pasig to makati would took me 1.5hrs. Now having my own house in sta rosa, near mamplasan exit, going to makati is a breeze. 30 minutes top. Toll will be quite expensive but looking at your car's maintenance and fuel saved from the idle on the traffic I think its worth it. Of course, more time spent in the family, not on the road.
I enjoyed suburb living here, all the best schools and hospitals are already in place. not to mention the malls and it's near tagaytay.
