GONE are the days when entrepreneurs had limited choices where to set up shop or where business organizations could house their growing operations in the country’s NCR or national capital region. These days, some areas to the south of Metro Manila offer better alternatives for office locators, which find rental prices around the central business districts (CBD) of Makati, BGC or Bonifacio Global City, and Ortigas as being too steep, not to mention their being congested and having locations that are a bit undesirable to many employees and workers who commute to work daily for hours.

No wonder real-estate developers, such as the Masterpiece Asia Properties, Inc. (MAPI), have been smitten by Taguig City and some areas in and around the Alabang CBD. Now a highly urbanized city and an important residential, commercial, and industrial center in the southeastern part of Metro Manila, Taguig was once a thriving fishing community along the shores of Laguna de Bay. And what was once a farming district in Muntinlupa City, Alabang has now grown into a commercial center, which is also home to the suburban lifestyle hub of Alabang Commercial Center as well as Filinvest City, a master-planned urban center and CBD.
