There’s a new social media application you might want to try out, particularly so if you are (or if your business is) based in the Philippines and Metro Manila.

Buy and Sell in the Philippines – Online!
Website-hopping with Renzie Baluyut. One of the first orders of business for me coming back to the Philippines is looking around to check prices on all kinds of things- groceries, fast food items, PCs and laptops, even pieces of real estate.

Renzie Goes To Kawayan Cove
I just came from this most awesome place in Nasugbu, a coastal municipality in Batangas, about 2 hours south of Metro Manila. Nasugbu is known for its white-sand beach resorts and tropical forests, which therefore makes it a fairly popular summer destination.
Kawayan Cove is an exclusive residential seaside community which covering about 68 hectares worth of prime beach-front real estate. You have to give credit to the developers for easing in the village among the groves of trees and bamboo, making it as close to the nature as possible by working with the natural contours and landscape.
The result was simply spectacular. You have family-friendly amenities and wide-open spaces inobtrusively tucked into lush the Batangas forest, with minimal disturbance or alteration to the topography, and a population density well lower than the typical high-end developments in the general area.
Anyway, I realize I have a lot to write about this particular visit, so I hope to churn out all my posts over the weekend. You’ll definitely be reading more from me about my visit to Kawayan Cove. Highlights of my Kawayan Cove adventure:
