This is the same as Bonifacio Global City. If you're a tourist, it's not the 'real' Manila that you may expect - but it's a welcome oasis in the chaos & noise. It used to be an army base known as The Fort, but was sold to developers at least ten years ago. The developers added more land and renamed the whole zone as Bonifacio Global City. Taxi drivers use both names interchangeably. This is literally a new city that has been purpose-built with shopping malls, high-rise buildings and streets in a grid pattern. It's a microcosm of great cities around the World. For visitors it can seem a bit boring (see my review under the new name). Maybe by 2020 it will be a fascinating place and will exist in Tripadvisor as a city in its own right. However, rumour has it that Taguig City council is keen to hold on to this goldmine.
Pretty cool place. Lots of locals hanging out. about 400 years old. nice place to walk around and look.
This overdeveloped (from the old days) area, is now a commercial hub for easy living or visiting. Close to Global offices, banks, etc with local and international brands of shopping and restaurants at 'all' price levels. Many choices for hotel ranges and close to the train- if you choose to.
Very nice place to stroll and people watch. They have tons of stores similar to the ones in the US and they have a good selection of restaurants. They also have Market Market! a couple of blocks away and SM Aura nearby. A good place to run.
Been many times to this place and I have this feeling I'm not in the Philippines. Always clean and well maintained. Lots of high-end and signature shops and fine dining restos. The landscape is neat and lots of charming dogs around the area. Nice to hang out with group
Plenty of choices to shop and eat. Not as busy as other retail areas. Definitely not as busy as Makati!
The Bonifacio Global City (BGC) or fondly called The Fort is the best business district in the Philippines to date. World class and safe.
We are so happy to have chosen to live at The Fort. We find everything we need just a block away from our condominium. From the gym to all types of restaurants, shops, malls and there is the always colorful High Street. We enjoy strolling down on a Sunday afternoon and have a cup of coffee or ice cream in one of the many choices available for it. If you are ever in Manila, check it out, you will not be disappointed.
My office is in the Fort and I really like the environment. Its the only place in Manila that you can walk, pavements are great. The mixture of F&B and office is excellent. It lacks quality hotels however.
It is a new developed area in Manila .. Good for shopping , eating and people who like us fastfood chains ... No need to go for tourists .. Nothing to do with Philippines or any sightseeing ... Just as a relaxing clean place to escape the noise and chaos of the city .. Build for US citizen to feel safe and eat at TGIF or starbucks
