This is what makes BGC awesome, a place where you simply enjoy walking around day in and day out. It is an open space flanked by low rise, modern and interesting shopping facilities on the left and right. The biggest attraction in BGC is actually Bonifacio High Street. There is a very good hospital here, although sometimes one wishes there were more choices for medical services. BGC has the highest concentration of international schools in the Philippines. Buses getting in and out of BGC, though, can be in short supply during peak hours. The often air-polluting and traffic-obstructing jeepneys are not allowed in the center of BGC, which makes getting around BGC in a car much more efficient and pleasant. There is no other place in Metro Manila (MM) that has this combination: comfortable sidewalks (this is one major luxury in MM!), freedom from the threat of and obstruction from overhanging power cables and transformer boxes (even Makati has too many of these), a functioning drainage system (flooding is a real problem in many parts of MM during rainy season), visible security on the street (the "marshalls" on motorcycles serve as a deterrence to crime, even though we mostly see them in action in chasing away vehicles attempting to park on streets). I rate this place a 4 star because it is best for living and working, but may be a little bit boring for people who come for an adventurous visit from a developed city, because it is like a developed city in many places! For people who are choosing a place to live in a city in the Philippines, Bonifacio Global City (BGC) is unbeatable.
