There are a few perks I can think of when it comes to living in the South of Metro Manila. One of them is free parking (!!) in commercial establishments. Yes, even in some of the SM malls.

Hennessy King of the Road’s truly Pinoy party!
The unveiling of Hennessy's King of the Road was one truly enjoyable party we attended last week. It had the right mix of food, drinks, people, music and even art. The King of the Road is none other than the iconic Filipino jeepney which zoom-zoomed right there in the event venue of the Shooting Gallery Yellow Studio in Makati.It's done in the classy Hennessy way of sleek matte black exteriors and gold details.... definitely not your ordinary jeepney. According to the Hennessy people, the King of the Road is a series of events that will celebrate Manila's ... Continue Reading...
