In heavy rain you can take 3 hours just to go a few miles in Manila.
Better to spend the extra bucks on a place in Makati and you will save more money in the long run and walk to everything you need.
Granted, it looks like a nice condo, but there are nice places in Makati for 30,000 pesos a month, now that is 13,000 more, but in the long run you will probably be 30,000 a month in front on taxi fares without the risk and hassle. Im not critisizing your place, 17,000 is good, but even 100 metres out of the action in manila is too far.
