Bonifacio Global City: Foundation of Philippines' Stability.
- As a journalism student, I got the chance to cover a place that symbolizes the Philippines' progress and growth and that place is the Bonifacio Global City. A few minutes drive from the capital city Manila, Bonifacio Global City is at the heart of Taguig City. From a vast grassland, this area is now one of the center of commerce and lifestyle in the Philippines. Let's start our tour Inside BGC with one of the first structures inside of it, the Market! Market!. Located within the newest central business district
Bonifacio Global City, Market! Market! has the variety and freshness of a
Sunday street market within the distinctive surroundings and the essential
comforts of an Ayala Mall. Its themed retail zones, fruit and flowers market,
and a regional food and hawker’s area recreate the souk while still providing
the basic needs one expects. Inside Market! Market! are the following amenities, the Gift Market! which you can buy gifts at a tiangge price, the Fashion Market! where you can be fashionable without sacrificing so much money, the Pearl Market! which is can also be considered as the "Pearl Capital of the Metro" aside from Greenhills because a wide variety of pearls especially from Mindanao can also be found here and last but not the least, the Fiesta Market! that has the "Palengke" setting inside because you can find delicacies from provinces inside of it, there are a lot of famous province restaurants that will give you the taste of their local delicacy and lastly, there is also the "prutasan" inside where you can buy quality fruits at a palengke price.
