It’s a budget-friendly version of most of the northern cities of the National Capital Region (such as Makati, Quezon, and Pasig City) as plenty of small businesses can be found in the innermost part of the city. The city can be explored and diverges from the main road of Alabang-Zapote Road, so there is a lot of public transportation available. However, rush hour can be a difficult time to travel in (7 AM and 6 PM) as many are commuting home. There are an abundance of malls and grocery stores to purchase your everyday goods and some farmer’s markets (or ‘palengke’ as we call them) around.

When someone wants to live they should pick a place which is appropriate in their taste. considered the living expenses and the cost of rent are within his/her budget. There are some historical places like the Bamboo Organ Church so they can pick a place near it. consider his/her access to the transportation.

Las Piñas City is one of the cities in Metro Manila. It is a clean and developing city. A lot of residents are content to live here because of the benefits of the Local Government Unit such as discounted hospitalization, free education, etc. If you’re moving in, consider the following:

1. Budget – Since it is a developing city, the mortgage values are increasing. Nowadays, it’s hard to find a cheap rental.

2. Flooding – The country has two seasons: the wet and dry seasons. When there’s heavy rain, there are some places in Metro Manila that are affected by the floods.

Las Piñas City is suburban area with a number of large shopping centers, hospitals, and schools. Without traffic, it would take a commuter an hour or two to get to the neighboring financial districts. A person moving to my city should take the following into account:

1) Due to an influx of foreign workers, the rent for most places is around 20 percent higher than normal. Local landlords favor foreign tenants because they usually pay a year or six months in advance, versus local tenants who pay once a month and at a much lower rate.

2) It would be best to know some English and Tagalog.

Our neighborhood is very peaceful. The people are very generous, helpful and cheerful. But moving here, one must consider a lot of things. One of them is considering their allotted budget for renting a house. Prices may vary according to the size and number of rooms. Also, you may also consider how accessible for commuting your neighborhood will be.

Las Piñas city is in the heart of Metro Manila, Philippines. This is one of the best cities in Manila where you can stay or reside permanently. In the past, most of its area fell under the Rizal province but later on it was included in Metro Manila. Then just few years ago, this town was upgraded to become a city because of the capacity to generate high income because of its dwellers.

Las Piñas City, as it is now being called, is known for it famous “Bamboo Organ”. This historic organ, created by Father Diego Cera in early 1800s, can produce high-pitch melodies. The organ itself is made up of bits of bamboos that were put together so as to produce the different clicks for baritones. The magnificence of music as it is being played every masses attracts people from all classes. Visitors flock to the city not because of the big malls on it but rather they want to witness the majestic playing of the historic bamboo organ.

The city is also tagged as the “cleanest city in Metro Manila” for the past years. The mayor allots a fraction of the budget to keeping the cleanliness of the city plus major undertakings on the continuous upgrade of the city when it comes to keeping it green. Planting trees and other ornamental plants in the area thrive among barangays.

Our city, although small, is quite a busy district. It is between three other cities therefore, it is expected that traffic is always congested. Additionally, we have a lot of malls, banks, and government branch offices within our city which makes not also contributes to the heavy traffic daily.
