I am pretty surprised that Makati doesn't have its own group here! I think its about time! For everyone who lives in Makati, works in Makati, is currently in Makati, and generally loves Makati, this group is for all of us! Let us share info and get to know each other better!

Makati is also home to the influential Makati Business Club and the Philippine Stock Exchange. Ayala Avenue, running through the heart of the Central Business District is often called the Wall Street of the Philippines.

Makati is noted for its highly cosmopolitan culture, also being a major cultural and entertainment hub in Metro Manila. Many expatriates live and work in the city.

The city also has many of the country's five-star hotels like The Peninsula Manila, the Shangri-La Hotel Makati and the Intercontinental Hotel Manila. Independent business travelers also benefit from budget hotels like the Saint Illian's Inn, El Cielito Inn, The Copa Businessman's Hotel, and The City Garden Suites, while serviced apartments like The Salcedo Suites, Fraser Place Manila, The Sunette Tower, and The Oxford Suites are gaining in populari

Does Indonesia Require Polio Vaccination for Filipinos

Crowdsourcing: Does Bali or Jakarta, Indonesia require Filipinos to be POLIO VACCINATED because of the recent outbreak? Hopefully answered by someone who recently flew to Indonesia because I am getting mixed answers. Thanks.
