I am recently relocated to Manila, Philippines and staying in a company provided accommodation
I am currently working with an IT -MNC in Ayala 30th Corporate Center in Ortigas.
and soon my wife will start her new Job in Makati
I am planning to admit my kid (6 years old) in ISM school
My first preference would be to have my wife as near as possible from her office.

I seek advise from veteran expats, where it would be more wise to stay in BGC or Makati ?

It's an easy one for me..I would not want my kids to commute, So get close to the school. Unless of course you can afford a service for them. Rents might be a bit higher in Makati..Good luck.

If your wife will be working in Makati then it would be better to live in Makati... you could commute or if you have a car you will not have a problem...With BGC, it is a little bit more difficult if you will commute.
