  • I was so surprised to see Makati very very polluted. In fact, when we were there, there was this big block of smog hovering in the buildings, almost graying out the horizon - can't even see the condo buildings very well. I defintely would not buy a condo in that vicinity.

  • The nicest place in Philippines. Very progressive. Thanks to Mayor Binay. He's a nice mayor, seriously. I study in Makati, and all of the things were free. Notebooks, uniforms, ballpens, books, etc. I ♥ Makati!
  • well makati is one of the best city here in the country.. lots o job oppurtunities.. ^___^
  • I keep coming back to Makati...
  • I grew up in Makati at bgy. Valenzuela. got lots of freebis esp. for senior citizens, reason why Makati is the best place to build a tall buildings is that its grounds are solid rock, so you could be able to erect a tall buildings. Binay did a very good job in attracting businesses - he has a very sensible & tactical good governance. makati is following the footpsteps of Singapore but will need help fromth epeople itself.
