Express services.

  Nowadays, express is really a common business and services for the people. I have not experience any express services here in the Philippines but, I would like to talk about the services of the express companies in China.
  With the rapid economical development, China's online shopping is more and more popular. Thus , it makes the express businesses more and more needed by the people. Whatever the sellers and the buyers of online shopping. The services of express companies benifit the customers around the world. Because people nowadays in China, they buy things online not only limited within China, but also buy things from the overseas. There are several big companies which are professinal in the express services. The very first one is the EMS, Express Mail Service is an international express postal service offered by postal-administration members of the Universal postal Union(UPU). These administrators created the EMS Cooperative in 1998 within the framework of the UPU to promote the harmonization and development of postal services worldwide.As of January 2015, EMS was offered by more than 190 countries and territories worldwide.

  I have to talk about the very own by Chinese local express company which is Shun Feng Express. SF Express, China's largest private delivery services firm in the mid-end market, is expanding its business in the supply chain where it builds e-commerce platforms in the upstream and trying to earn a share of the e-commerce logistics market, while also growing operations at its community stores, the Guangzhou-based Southern Weekly reports. I do like its professional services. Although the service charge of  SF express is the highest among the private express companies.But they do let people satisfied with their servives. Rely on the solid reliability, it is already became the magnate in the service of express business, it occupied the largest part of rge market of express businesses, SF even has their airlines ,SF has a fleet of 31 cargo aircrafts, of which 13 are owned by its subsidiary SF Airlines.
  SF express has picking up from home services.The couries are uniformed and well trained. Accurate and fast served,I usually call for express services from SF express, because they could send the expressage or your package as soon as possible. Where ever the destination is, the package or expreessage would be there just on the next day of sending date. Usually , one city has several branches of SF express and they located in differant areas of the city. The couriers , they are assigned into different areas also, it depends on how they familiar with the area . The high familiarity has much more advantages for a courier. Couriers have different mission and tasks, not only deliver the expressages but also collecting the expressages every assigned locations. Picking up from home and they also have to contact the potential customers in their assigned areas. The service charge probably around 180 php for the first kilogram of the expresage. Every exceed kilogram would be charged around 70 php. One of my friend is the courier of SF express, he told me that actually in this kind of express company, the more works the couriers do, the more benefits or you can say salary the couriers will receive. Especially during the holiday, because for the couriers, technically they do not have holidays uhnless he does not want to earn more money on that day.

  There are other express companies, Shen Tong, Yuan Tong, Zhong Tong, YUN Da, Tian Tian , etc.They are also just focus on the expressing services business. But the quality of their servicesnot as well as the quality of services of SF express. They are commonused or I can say, they ae cooperate with a lot of online stores because their service charge are much more lower than SF express. The price is only half of SF express' s.
  The usual express companies, the reson why they chare less because it takes them longer time to distribute or deliver the expressages. The couriers of those companies are more than the couriers of SF express but their efficiency are lower. Their responsbility seems like not not important, but for the customers, they should provide more responsbilities.
  Once, I went to the branch of Shen Tong express,I want to send cloths to my friend , I know both me and my friend are not in a hurry so I chose this express for delivering. I filled uo the information and address, the workers their in the counter packaged the cloths without any caution, after that, he just threw the packaged cloths to the pile of packages.  Right, their attitude is just like that, lack of responsbilities. They do not care about what is in the package, unless you are willing to pay for more money to get the insurance of your things. After all ,it cost me four days to let my friend got the cloths. It is still common, the average of the cost days are three days plus. One more thing, is during the Double Eleven online shopping festival(every November 11th of the year) in China. People are crazy into buying things because they would get a huge part of discounts of the goods. But during that time, the express companies experience the hell time. Millions of packages were collected within one or two days and waiting for delivery. They are like testing the capability of the express companies. The result is , it cost around 10 days for digesting the packages. But look at SF express, they always on time , high efficiency, high productivity.

Flying in the sky.

 I have been here ,the Philippines for almost 4 years. As long as there is a vacation more than ten days, I will be go back to my country. I miss China all the time, for sure. Not saying it is not nice in the Manila, but I do feel better when I am in my country at all. Everytime I have to take flight from the NAIA international airport to Beijing Capital International airport. I have flown with the Air China,the Chian Southern Airline,the Philippine Airlines and the Cebu pacific Airlines.
  Now,it is much more easier to book a airline ticket for us, because the airplane tickets are available online of those companies' websites I have mentioned before. Unlike at the beginning , you hava to book a airline ticket via telephone or mobilephone or you have to go to the office of theose companies, it was wasted time and complicated for the passengers. And why I am saying they are developing, at least in my opinion I think it is better, because if you want to pay for the tickets online, you have to hold a visa credit card for the payment,although it is the common way to buy a ticket online, but for those people who do not have a visa credit crad on hands, probably it is not a nice way to purchase a ticket from the website. But now, the services of those companies are much more completed, like the ways for paying the tickets not only limited with visa credit cards , but also you can pay them via online banking, Alipay, Paypal and even you may pay it trough the realistic payment center.
  I still remember that in the very begining I was a totally unfamiliar with buying a airplane ticket, I went to the office of a airline company, I picked up a number then felt in line, just wait for the calling before I can proceed to my counter to purchase the ticket.I waited about fourty minutes and finally I thought it was my turn, but my sequence was occupied by a Vip member of that company. And when it was my turn to make a order, I still need to show my passport and visa to the cashier, after they confirm the information of my documents, they let me to pay for it. It was such a conplicated processes and there are some uncertainty points make your time became longer than you thought. So compare with it, the online purchasing is better , just create your own account and fill out your personal information and your documents' information, then you could proceed to the ordering. Next you just need to login your account and select your name, select "I'm travelling" then you can just buy your ticket on your own. Pay for it via different ways that you want.

  Now,let me talk about the airlines' companies. For the Air China airlines, they are using Boeing 737-800 airplane for the travelling from Manila to Beijing, ofcourse it is the same airplane for the travelling from Beijing to Manila. Usually they have free carry on bagage and free maximum twenty kilograms baggage allowance for each passenger, they provide one meal for each passenger and the schedule of the airlines always on time, no delay usually. The airline hostess are Chinese , there are videos of emergency exiting and safety instructions on the plane.The airline has business classes and economic classes, of course the business classes are fewer than the economic classes but better than them, and business classes' passengers got better services compare it with the economic classes' passengers.

  For the China Southern Airlines, they are using Airbus 320-321 airplane, the rest of the conditions are similar to the Air China. But thet have different schedules.Meals on the two Chinese airlines are Chinese stlye, with chopsticks and tea or coffee is available, the others like juices, softdrinks , it is up to you.

  For the Philippine Airlines, they are also using the Airbus 320. The airline hostesses are Filipinos. Meals on the plane are more or like the Philippine style, corned beef, roasted chicken and with tropical fruits. Breads, with coffee, butter and the only choice of yours is to use spoon and folk.

  The most times I flied with is Cebu pacific airlines, because it has the lowest fare. Cebu pacific always promote the fares ,they created a lot of discounts for atrracting the customers fly with them in order to keep the competitiveness up. They are using somehow the smaller airplane than the other airlines above. They don not have business classes, no video instructions on the plane but instead of it, the airplane hostesses will perform how to use the emergency exit tools and there is paper safety instructions.I do not book meals with Cebu pacific cause it also save a little money from it and I saw the other passengers do not book neither.
  Whatever which airline was going to chose, the most important thing is to have a nice and safe trip .

The transportation services of taxis and tricycles.

  Before I talk about the transportation services of taxis and tricycles here in the Philippines, I would like to continue inrtroducing the other transportable way which is FX.
  Still in the first few months that I am here in the Manila, I have to go to school to take the language classes everyday, that time, I knew the jeepneys are popular but I still did not know that how to ride the jeepneys and even afraid to ride it , only because of its outside looking and I felt it was really polutted by the air from outside the trunk. Although, there are still many people get into a van and then people just look like the goods ,were transpoted from one place to another. This kind of way was named by FX, it is the popular term for non- metered taxi here in the Philippines.It is named after the Toyota Tamaraw FX model of multi-purpose vehicles. It can take as much as 10 passengers, excluding the driver. Unlike a metered taxi, the FX follows a defined route. Passengers can alight wherever they want along that route. Different brands of vans were made into FX, including the very original one, Toyota Tamaraw FX,and Mitsubishi Adventure,and even now it has a bigger size which  is like the Toyota alpha but of course it is not as well as it.The fare rate also not expensive, and there is air conditioner in the van, sometimes,after pulled over and you have to drop off from the left side of the van because of its too crowd inside, the driver would open the door for you.
  Now, lets talk about the taxis in the Manila. Getting around Manila is easy, but you should know some of the basics before you jump into any old taxi. They come in many colors but generally the yellow metered ones are dedicated airport taxis, have a higher “drop rate” AND a higher “run rate”. They will cost about 50% more than white metered ones.
  The way it works here in the Philippines is the driver pays a “boundary” or daily rental rate for the taxi. Anything over that, plus fuel, he gets to keep. They will do anything to make more than the boundary and have some money to take home.
  The rules in the Philippines state they must engage the meter but in some places they disregard this.
  Like a society, the world of taxis have their cultures too. Becarful when you going to ride a taxi here in the Manila. If the driver figured out you are a fresh tuorist , he might or probably trick you.When engaging a taxi on the street, open the rear passenger door. But do NOT get in. Ask the taxi driver if he’ll turn the meter on. If he does not, leave the door open and walk away. You will do this because, after the 2nd or 3rd taxi, you will get angry and want to slam the door. However they do not care, it is not their car. Your only revenge for their dishonesty is leaving the door open so they must get out and close it.
  The problem is, during heavy traffic or rainy days you will sometimes go thru numerous taxis before you get one to turn the meter on. At these times it really depends on how desperate or late you are getting to your destination. Sometimes they will ask for meter rate + 20 or 50 pesos. Sometimes it is double. It really depends on how badly you need the taxi as to whether you want to accept this.
  Always be awared and alert. For your own safe.

  Motorized Tricycles are a common transportation for people to go around the Philippines. Here in Manila, they are almost every zone of barangay, the drivers of the tricycles have the same styles of uniform, they are not only wait for the passengers but also greeting people for taking their side cars. For me the tricyces are not really cheap but sometimes it provides conveniences and transport you to the destination quickly. But the dangerous things are the drivers usually to choose the conversed ways for just saving the fuels . They are like the kings on the road, could go anywhere they want and go through any ways they want. As I know , the tricycles do not afraid of the rainy seasons, cause the motors are almost imported by the manufactures and they are not worry about the flood. The most common things are you can see the tricycles drivers doing their business during the rainy days, even there is flood already. The machines of the motors operating with the water, the white smoke flys to the sky. The drivers will charge much more higher fares during the rainay days.

  Anyway, whereever you go , you may have to choose a way and might have to choose a kind of transportation service. Hopefully have safe always !

Moving in the Manila, Philippines.

  Manila, the capital of the Philippines. For me ,it is a crowd busy city, even though I am just a student here and just expecting the incoming forth year of my college. I saw people like everywhere everyday, indeed, they are.

  Walking on the street in metro Manila, you will never miss the cars, vechiles, trucks, buses,and the most popular transportation which is jeepney. The streets and road are going to anywhere and crossing with each other, traffic phenomenon every day especially  during the peak time of the people going to work and off their jobs to home. Whereever you go ,whenever you move, you have to take some ways of transportation. The transportation services here in the metro Manila are kinds of ways.

  First, I would like to talk about the Light Rail Transit system in Manila,it is popularly and informally know as LRT.It is a metropolitan rail system serving the metro manila area in the Philipppines. Although referred to as a light rail system because it originally used light rail vehicles, it has characteristics that make it more akin to a rapid transitsystem, such as high passenger throughput, exclusive right-of-way and later use of full metro rolling stock. The system is operated by the Light Rail Transit Authority(LRTA), a government-owned and controlled corporation under the authority of the Departmet of Transportation and Communications (DOTC). Along with the Manila metro Rail Transit system(MRT-3, also called the new Yellow Line), and Philippine nationnal Railway's commuter line, the system makes up Metro Manila's rail infrastructure. Everyday, it serves millions of passengers and run almost all over the city. I have taken LRT several times, it does fast but it was really crowded during the peak time, even you have to push the people in front of you and use your strength to make a little space just for stand on the train, but the fare is not expensive, you could take it to somewhere then ride the other transportations.

  Second is the Buses in the Manila. I noticed there are a lot of bus terminals located in different places in Manila, some of them are just like the city's lines, and some of them are going to the provinces of the Philippines.The buses could take a lot of people even its already overloaded or excess the freight. The bus drivers are driving the bus like fast and furious, usually during the red light at the carless roads, they just go through their way without looking at the traffic lights. I think the biggest problem of the buses in the metro manila is that it is lacking of a kind formal system rules or policy. Whether it is fast or slow, it only depends on the arivers themselves but not the policy on the road or the traffic policemen. Unlike in China, most of the buses transportation do have a strict system to follow. Whether there are people at the station ,the bus driver stop, and if there is no station on the road, the buses will not be stopped by the drivers. Of course ,all of those should under the control of the policies.

   Now, it is the time for the most popular transportation in the Philippines. Jeepney.They are known for their crowded seating and kitsch decorations, which have become a ubiquitous symbol of Philippine culture and art. Jeepneys were originally made from the US military jeeps left over from World War II,now a days, the manufacturers made different types of jeepneys. In the metro Manila, the jeepneys are mainly service for the passengers and transfering goods. There are alomost 24/7 operating by the jeepney drivers.The jeepney is the cheapest way to commute in the Philippines. Because of its open rear door design, picking up and dropping off is easy for both passengers and drivers, they can stop anywhere unlike buses. But also because of this convenience, some jeepney drivers are the source of traffic congestion by indiscriminately loading and unloading passengers in the middle of the street, blocking traffic and risking the safety of some passengers. They are notorious for engaging in unfair practices such as jostling over passengers, blocking other jeepneys to get passengers in the middle of the lane and trip-cutting (not completing the route, dropping off passengers if there are less than three to return to the jeepney stand and wait for a new set of passengers as it is not profitable for them to continue the route). Hence, some people are requesting that this mode of transportation be phased out, which is also blamed as a major source of air pollution in cities.Outside of metropolitan areas (Metro Manila and Metro Cebu), jeepneys are quite ancient and patched. Today's passengers are discerning, and given the choice would prefer to ride longer distances in the comfort that jeepneys do not provide. Jeepneys for the most part are unfit for human transportation; they are often mechanically unsound, and not at all roadworthy, with their balding tyres, crabbing and yawing from distorted subframes, emissions which couldn't pass tests. Their longitudinal seating and lack of any seat-belts is less than safe. The low height of the saloon, and the extended roof above the driver, make visibility very poor.The high step at the back and the restricted height make entry and exit difficult. In addition, they have little space for shopping bags.

  There are still other transportation ways like taxis, FX,and bicycles. People move around everyday in Manila, so I will continue to introduce some other ways for the servicing of transportation in Manila next time.

Hap Chan tea house.

  The first time I have been to Hap Chan tea house was with my friends, that time I was still a freshman here in the Manila, Philippines. It was located in SM Manila, ermita street,but after that I noticed there are a lot of other branches of Hap Chan tea house, as I know, there is one located in Sta Cruz, and the other one is located in SM San lazaro and some other branches are located in Makati city and Quezon city.

  In the beginning I thought the Hap Chan tea house was build by someone from Hong Kong China, and does not have a long history, but after I checked the information from google ,I found out Hap Chan was starting from 1997.It was starting out in 1997 as a small teahouse in Manila, and serving only the Filipino-Chinese favorites Mami, lugao and dimsum, Hap Chan Teahouse began franchising in 1999 through Hap Chan Trading and Management Corporation. Hap Chan teahouse has slowly grown its menu and established fifteen stores by year 2009.
  On September 2009, a new group of entrepreneurs joined the management to improve its commissary and restaurant operations by introducing new methods to ensure Hap Chan restaurants remain in the forefront of its kind in the food service industry.The company started its aggressive expansion in 2010, from fifteen , it continuously grow its business as far as Boracay, Palawan, Gen. Santos and Cauayan Isabela. To date, there are a total of forty five branches nationwide of the Philippines.

  According to my perception, I think the food there in Hap Chan is not that cheap, but still okay for group eating. When I went there, it seems like the tea house is not a big restaurant, I sit down on the chairs , the waitress then greetedme and gave the menu to me, while I was choosing the food which I would like to order, the waitress served us a pot of hot red tea and several cups and several glasses of ice water. Then she clean up the redundant folks and spoons, and get ready for the ordering. I ordered Yangzhou Chaofan and radish cake and my friends ordered Beef chao hofan and wanton noodle, shrimp siomai and chicken feet. During the ordering, the waitress reminded us that the foof is good for how many people,and after the ordering, the waitress repeated our orders again then went to the cooking room.

  Just in fifteen minutes, the orders were served quickly and accurate. While the waitress decide to leave and approach to other customers, my friends suddenly called her and asked the menu again, he told me that he wanted to order some drinks instead of drinking the hot tea. He asked the waitress if there is fresh soya milk available and the waitress went to confirm the request in front of the cashier, then she told us there is fresh soya milk available. My friends ordered it and told me the soya milk is very special as well here in Hap Chan, especially the soya milk is very much in demand.

  While we are eating the foods, I found out it could be much more delicious if put some chili sauce on the top of the fried rice , the chili sauce including much oil and beans, tasted good and hot. It is not only smelled good for a hot sauce ,but also facilitate my hungry feeling to let me eat more. After the fresh soya milk served by the waitress, we put it them into the glass ,it tasted cool and had a thick flavor of soya with milk tastes. In China, especially the northern mainland of China, people are the fans of soya bean milk, we prefer to have it during the breakfast but it is hot served not like the soya milk here in the Philippines, it is cold served. So that was my first time had a cooling soya milk.
  We asked the waitress for billing out, and pay for it, the waitress went to the cshier and got a check folder with our billing receipt, it is also accept debit card and credit card. The waitesses said thank you and come again. The whole experiences made us satisfied. After that time, I have been to Hap Chan alone for several times, their business always popular and the restaurant always full of people.

Some things about Supermarkets between China and the Philippines.

  When the supermarkets were mentioned, there are a lot of things between the supermarkets in China and the Philippines, or I can say im my opinion, the services of the supermarkets in the two countries have a lof of differences.

  There are a lot of large domestic and international companies in China’s supermarket and hypermarket industry such as Wal-Mart, Metro, Carrefour, Trust-mart, Tesco, Lotus, Lotte Mart, RT-Mart, Yonghui, Renrenle, Hualian, and Watsons. Most of these chains have shares held by foreign investments. Only a few are fully domestic to China. Smaller scale supermarket chains are also frequently seen in China. Most of these are local, and their business are limited to a certain geographical regions. For example, the Hebei province has its domestic chain supermarket brand, Jingkelong,etc.

  Also, there are a lot of large domestic and international companies in Philippines's supermarket and hypermarket. Such as the SM prime holdings,including there SM supermarket, SM hypermarket, SM market place, SM supermall, Savemore supermarket, etc. Others I know are Pure gold price club inc. The Robinsons supermarket, 7-eleven, ministop, Familymart,etc.

  We can see supermarket every cities cause it is called one stop shopping at the supermarket.You can buy almost anything that you need, especially in daily life.

When you walk through the streets, there are also a lot of convenience stores.

  To be honest, I prefer shopping in the supermarkets of the Philippines, because the services there are more complete compare it in China, I can not say all of us have the same experiences ,it is only my own opinion. Once I went to the SM department store and looking for a necktie, I was selecting which type should I choose and pay for it, the waitress was very freindly and  passionate, she helped me to picked up several styles and fit it for me, so I could have a clearer sight to make a decision. At the moment when I was hesitating, she found out my mood and try to fit the neck on my shirt and  suggest me to buy for it.I figure out that the waitress has a not bad sightseeing, then I made the decision , bought the necktie which she suggested to me. During the shopping time, the waitress would tie the necktie according to your demand and wont say some unpleasant words.But in China, the waitresses just stay in their position if you do not have any requests, seems like whether you buy the products or not, there is no matters  with them. You call for her assitances,she performed like a lazy lady , and even they just ignore you sometimes only because she is playing with her cellphone. 

  In the Philippines, according to my experiences, if you want to buy a cloth ,you enter a cloth shop, the waitress would help you all the time and look for your size always with some suggestions, they performed like they willing to find the styles that you want again and again without saying any unpleasant words. But in China, I met several times that the waitress was not willing to get what you demmanded and if you let her fell into a unhappy mood,she would rather do not sell the cloth to you. That was ridiculous! They say customer is the king ,but sometimes it is not suit for it in China nowadays.
  The other example is once I bought a electric kettle from the SM supermarket, but after I used it for several times I found out there is alway a bad smelling with the metal material of the kettle, so I went back to the market and then I exchange another one with the receipt,that was a fluent process and nothing stoped me, the customer assistants served me with pleasure and happy mood. And I also got the satisfaction after I changed a new kettle. But the similar thing happened once in China, it was entirely different from the experienment in the Philippines. I do not get the positive feedback and I did not get satisfaction.At least , the introduction of the goods or products said the customers could exchange or get the refund within 7 days since the time you buy it. But the sercices did have a defferent treatments for customers.
  Of course I enjoyed the shopping experience in the supermarket of the Philippines, but I have to say, everyone has hi or her own feelings, even with one element. There are also advatages of the services of the China's supermarkets. I think I could got more things that what I want in the supermarkets of China.

Living with avida.

  When I talk about condominium here in the Philippines, actually for me it is a totally fresh word just after I came here. In the begining I lived in an apartment which is named Zen tower located in ermita Manila, I thought it was the traditional way to live with where people here in the Philippines, cause for me I call it domitary because there are few of us live under the same roof.Everyday everyone has different things to do, so after a long time , there will be contradiction among all of us.  More or like, I am that kind of man who is prefering the natural normal schedule, for example, I will do my works during the day time, I go to bed every night when the moom is very high and the stars are twinkling. But someone does get into high when I am going to the bed. I could bear those party times for once, twice, thrice. But I can not go through with it always. So after all at the middle of my contract with the owner of the apartment I made the decision which is move out of the place.
  I was looking for other places one month before I moved out from the old one. I went to several buildings and finally decided to rent the place where is located near in my school. That is avida tower san lazaro.
  I only know this avida tower beside SM san lazaro , although there are still some other towers also owned by avida land corp. The service here in avida has different kinds. I rented this condominium with one year contract and I paid in cash all in all the owner of the unit gave me a discount for reducing one month rental fee.Before I moved in , I noticed there is nothing in the unit except for some necessary equipments like cabinets and water faucets. It means there is no furnitures  before I moved into the unit. The maintenance helped me to transfer my furnitures and things from the ground floor to my unit and actually there were house keepers cleaned the room for me already before I arrived, I could cee it because there is no dust. When I moved into the unit, the security guard asked for the move-in pass and the photocopy of my contract of lease. Two fast speed elevators serve for the building, and the building has 20 plus floors.
  One of my hobby is playing basketball, there is a  basketball court just beside the building within the community. Almost everyday basketball fans play on the  court from morning to the evening. If I get up early,around 6 a.m. There are already players on the court. The house keepers also clean the basketball court every time after the raining. When it is still wet, they will drop a marker which is "caution" and  "the floor is wet" something like that.But the basketball court is not always for free using, it can be reserved if you want ot use is during the night time before 9 pm and yo have to pay for it, but in fact the resevation fee is not expensive. Anyway the basketball court somehow is a bonded sevice for the tenants of the avida.

  There is also a swimming pool for the swimming fans, it is not that big very clean, they always change the pool water and maintain the cleanliness.Some bamboo long chairs beside the swimming pool, provide the chance for people that may lay down on the chairs and enjoy the sunshine.
  Beside the swimming pool , there is a lobby called party space, it provides the tenants a space to hold party, almost every week I could see there are some people hold birthday party there and singing, dancing together.But sometimes the push through the party until the midnight, it is a ruled action cause I think they did not considered what other people's thoughts.

  The community provides a lot of parking slots for the tenants of course. I walked around the buildings and I noticed there are almost every parking slot has a number, that meams it is occuppied by the tenants already.The parking slots , some of them occuppied by cars, some of them occupied by trucks, and some of them occuppied by motorcycles.
  Every building has its house keepers and maintenances, they are available everyday and they have three-time shifts working schedule. The funny thing is there are housekeepers walk around in the building everyday for collecting the garbage bags , tenants just need put the garbage bags beside the unit door and even no need to wait for the housekeepers, they will collect and throw the garbage bags three times a day, around 8 am and 2pm and 7 pm. Every time they will shout at the hall "Good morning/afternoon/evening ma'am sir, garbage collection", when you hear that, it's time for you to put your trash out of your room. House keepers also clean the halls everyday.
  The water pressure is good, once my friend visited me and he took a shower at my unit,after that he said he likes the water pressure here in my unit, its strong enough and provide the need for people. Indeed, in his place the water pressure is really poor and can not satisfy daile needs sometimes. The electricity also steady, at the beginning, the building owner proposed with tenants  that there is no need to pay for the electricity fee because it was not bonded with Meralco company.But after the Meralco company came in with tha building, it is the time for me to save electricity everyday to avoid the high charge from the electricity bill.
  The unit does not have a balcony but the building procided metal cases for tenants for hanging their wet cloths and for necessary needs.
