Over the past centuries, Metro Manila has been the center of trade, industry, culture, education and transportation in the Philippines. As early as 1595, Manila has been a cradle of urbanization; houses and establishments were built to cater the increasing number of population. With the continuous emergence of business opportunities in the city, people from other provinces started to migrate to find better living. Gradually, the city became populated until it reached the overflow of people it is now. However, there’re a lot of house and lot for sale in Laguna and Batangas which are easily accessible from the city.
While business opportunities continue to increase, land area in Metro Manila is not able to handle more of it but that doesn’t stop investors. This signals other nearby towns and provinces to provide new business ventures and housing needs.
Laguna, for instance, is becoming a sub-urban community holding some of the largest industrial parks in the country. With a total land area of 1,824 km2, Laguna homes the First Philippine Industrial Park, Laguna International Industrial Park, Laguna Techno Park, and Light Industrial & Science Park I. Industrial park developments in the province is a proof that job opportunities are making its way and residents were able to make a living within the province’s corners.
Though there are a lot of industrial parks in the province, there are still parts of the country that remains untouched by bold commercialism. Whenever someone needs a quiet place after long hours of work, dwelling close to nature is still possible in the province. Unlike living in the city where everything you see is buildings and establishments, there is Pagsanjan Falls, Lake Caliraya and even Mt. Makiling to rescue you every time you just want to shout out your stresses.
Entertainment hubs are both present in Manila and Laguna, though it is way better to have some leisure time in Laguna. It is due to the great number of people simultaneously having some leisure time in the city. There’s also the traffic every day in the city. Probably, you wouldn’t have a hard time finding a nice café to eat and stay at, but you are going to spend a couple of minutes stuck in the traffic or trying to find a good place to park. But having a good time in Laguna is easier. Pay for your ticket, fall in line and indulge yourself in a famous theme park in the country, Enchanted Kingdom. A day in the theme park with your family or friends is always something worthy of a Facebook update. Going historical, you could just drop by at the Rizal Shrine one weekend morning. All of these are the perks of living in a house and lot for sale in Laguna and Batangas.
Living in Manila or a sub-urban province like Laguna both has its benefits. Generally, it’ll just depend on your character and lifestyle. A house and lot for sale in Laguna and Batangas has always been a good choice for people working either in Metro Manila or in Laguna.
