A typical working day of an ordinary Filipino usually starts at four (4) o’clock in the morning. Really? Well, that’s a rough estimate. But the reasoning behind is that if you will come from the north or south of Manila, allocating two (2) hours travel will land you safe – helps you avoid getting late for your 9:00am time-in job.

Guess what city in the Philippines is the talk of the town or should we say “talk of the world” today? It’s no other than the Bonifacio Global City, a.k.a. “BGC”.
