That's because those overhead electrical wires have long been there for decades...WAY before the place was developed. If you grew up in the 70s and 80s and familiar with the area, you'd know.
You failed to see the point. It's not underrated because of the things you mentioned, it's underrated because it's being overshadowed by Makati and BGC. It's not the first thing that comes to mind when a foreigner visits Manila. It's always Makati and BGC
@@onyxriver I knew what the video meant. Ortigas was NOT developed to compete with BGC and Makati anymore than Eastwood City was built to compete with Araneta City (Cubao). These places were primarily developed for economy and economics, with "tourism" as an added-value proposition. And if your point is that foreigners tend to visit BGC and Makati, ask yourself why? Because that's all they see online. Just like they flock to Boracay and Palawan for the same reason....even before the set foot in the country.
@@rrubio6660 Exactly what I'm saying. It's underrated because it's not featured online most of the time. Believe it or not, CBD's are competing to attract attention, investments, office takeups and branding. Competition is high, both on the economic front and tourism. I worked at Ortigas Land, and we competed vigorously with the AyalaLand-managed Ayala Center (Makati CBD), FBDC who manages BGC, and even SM-ASEANA for the Bay City. And "tourism" is not just a value-added proposition, it's a core component. W Why do you think CBDs are constructing central shopping areas? It's not for the employees and businessmen working in the CBD's, it's for inbound tourists, local or internation included.
