Our city has its fair share of urban and rural areas. You can visit grotto on a hillside and and enjoy the view. Or you can visit nearby malls to watch movies or enjoy having a great dinner with your family. And the best thing about our city is you never had to drive that far because all of these attractions are just minutes away.

One must be ready to see the poverty conditions if one decides to live in San Pedro Laguna, Philippines. There are loads of poor people in here and there are limited businesses that could provide jobs for the person who’d be residing in here. I suggest it’s better to have a job that’s done online, especially if that person already has a family.

The area is blessed with a cool breeze and a light countryside atmosphere compared to the hustle and bustle that the capital has to offer.

Know how to cope with living in a very populated and polluted area, such as the rather dusty air and traffic on the streets. However, they should also be aware that despite the rampant poverty, the locals are welcoming and usually much nicer than those from other cities. Another thing they should be informed of is that more people would strongly advise living here instead of cities in Manila, for it is safer.

If someone were moving to my city he or she should consider the distance from where he or she works. These days travelling going out of the south would take out the patience out of someone due to its heavy traffic. One should also consider transportation means going out to work.
