Ayala Centre, Makati City

This place must hold the most expensive real estate pricing in Metro Manila, if not, the entire Philippines. The entire Makati City area is actually owned by a family named Zobel de Ayala. They are one of the richest people in the world and are possibly the only family in the Philippines related to the Spanish Royal family. Imagine your family owning an entire city!!! The land are leased from the family and the developers (which are affiliated companies of the family, of course!) in return sell their property by per square feet quoted only in US Dollars. They told me that the average price stands at USD1200/ sq ft! Crazy!!! Anyway, I managed to stroll around Ayala Centre, which houses several malls conjoining each other like a long snake. These malls houses famous couture labels and high fashion houses. Out of my budget punya tempat!!! Anyway, I enjoyed snapping away with the camera on the many art work inside the this mall.

But first, makan first lah, kan??? Perut dah lapar...

This is inside Greenbelt 3, one of the many conjoining malls.
