Welcome...Rotonda! My place in the Philippines



The place is located in the most populous city of the Philippines, Quezon City. If I'm not mistaken, it's also the largest city. In fact, it was the former capital of the country, that’s why a lot of government offices are located here. It’s also fast becoming the city of the stars because almost all of the broadcasting networks can be found here as well. Apparently, I heard a rumour that it will become the ‘Hollywood’ of the Philippines. Goodluck!

I’ve lived in Quezon City all my life, so it’s really hard to move out of this place. Almost all our relatives live nearby as well, so I really didn’t look that far to find this.

Aside from that, I know it’s got potential, a huuuge potential!! The Ayala Trinoma mall has just opened (last year?), apart from the already existing 3rd biggest mall in Asia, SM North Edsa. These two combine makes the place so prominent and alive. I’m sure that the development won’t stop there. When I went home last year, the traffic along EDSA was intolerable. It takes 2
0 minutes just to pass along the intersection of EDSA and Munoz. It’s because the MRT extension project was finally being constructed. This project took I don’t know how long to get approved, so thankfully, it’s now on it’s way for the Quezon City people. Once it’s finished, travel from Monumento to Makati will hopefully be better. Of course, our place is in the middle of this MRT route and we will definitely take advantage of it.

The UP Ayala technohub, the first of its kind, has also been recently launched. I also heard that Congressional Avenue will soon have a dining strip, similar to the Eastwood City of Libis or the Greenbelt of Makati. I’m sure that there are a lot more to watch out for in this city.
