Condo Rent in Metro Manila’s University and College Areas

Wazzup Pilipinas!

With the new school year fast approaching, many college students are looking for housing options close to their chosen schools. Lamudi analyzed its price data to show how much rent to expect from condos in Metro Manila’s university and college areas

These days, condos in Metro Manila are being built close to pretty much everything, and that include colleges and universities, so it is not that difficult to find one that’s practically a short walk away from the gate of one’s school.

The great thing about this is that these real estate projects are also quite accessible to various malls, hospitals, stores, banks, and restaurants that they are attractive even to young professionals, newlyweds, and starter families.

Lamudi Philippines analyzed its property listings data to show how much rent can students (and their parents) expect from condos near Metro Manila’s university and college districts; namely, Manila’s university belt (U-belt) and Quezon City’s Katipunan Avenue.

Experience New Zealand 2016 at the Glorietta Activity Center

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Get ready to experience a taste of New Zealand in the Philippines especially this year when New Zealand and the Philippines mark their 50th year of bilateral relations.

The event called Experience New Zealand 2016 will run from May 20-22, 2016 at the Glorietta Activity Center, in the Glorietta Mall, Makati City, and showcases not only the best of New Zealand food and beverage, but also highlights key NZ travel destinations and educational institutions.

Ambassador David Strachan believes that the relationship between our two countries have grown increasingly intimate. The Filipino population in New Zealand offer their warm spirit and work ethic across the length and breadth of New Zealand.

The ambassador adds that the Filipinos living in New Zealand has been the best brand ambassadors since everywhere he goes in the Philippines, many of the people he meets has ties or links with New Zealand and are familiar with what New Zealand has to offer.

They also have a growing number of Filipinos choosing New Zealand as their education destination because of their well-regarded high quality system that welcomes international students.

During our visit at the Experience New Zealand 2016 event, we got to witness a powerful combination of song, dance and chanting during the Kapa Haka performances. That was an amazing cultural performance.

Also get the chance to win one of five round-trip ticket to Auckland courtesy of Philippine Airlines! In December 2015, Philippine Airlines started flying a four times weekly service between Manila and Auckland (via Cairns) which makes it easier for all of us to go to NZ.

Miss Tourism Philippines 2016 Swimsuit Competition

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Summer will not be over without seeing our candidates in their swimwear. It's the most anticipated part of the competition to showcase how fit the contestants are in their two piece ensembles."

Miss Tourism Philippines, the Dangal ng Bayan People's Choice Awardee for Most Outstanding Philippine National Pageant, held its Swimsuit competition at La Virginia Hotel and Resort at Mataas na Kahoy in Batangas a few days ago.

Congratulations to Miss Tourism Philippines 2016 Swimsuit Competition winner:

Miss La Virginia & Miss Kutis Filipina, representing Ibaan, Batangas Krizsa Nicolette

Lots of lovely ladies flaunted their stunning figures and voluptuous assets wearing flattering swimsuits that will surely put you in awe at first sight. The swimsuit competition has always been the hardest in judging as we are all mostly looking for that perfect shape, skin tone and flawless complexion that we would normally find from Fil-Am or half-blooded candidates with the advantage of a foreign nationality. 

Depending on the beauty standards of the judges, we would sometimes find it difficult to predict who would win in a swimsuit competition but having a sexually appealing whiter skin complexion has always been proven most popular.
