Tbf, medyo “safe” na sa may Pisay area these days because of the development in that area, particularly Vertis North. Alala ko I accidentally asked the North Ave bus to drop me off thinking na Trinoma na, yun pala I was still several meters away and I ended up alighting to a dimly-lit street on the opposite side of Agham/NIA road at 1AM. May guards so I didn’t feel scared at all.
I think what makes QC a “don’t go down there” city is because there’s clusters of squatters everywhere. I don’t want to sound “matapobre” but when there’s a squatters area, it typically has hoodlums and other criminals and they also don’t take too kindly of outsiders. There will be a gated subdivision but just behind it are squatters. A posh mall but when you go up to the roofdeck your view are squatters. Business district but if you wander too far away you’ll end up in a shanty town.
Nice to hear about the improvements in the Pisay area, I guess?
I do understand the sentiment na delikado for outsiders to wander around in a squatter’s area. Having grown up in (or near) one, I think the key point really is “they don’t take too kindly to outsiders.” That much, I can attest from personal experience.
Iwas na lang talaga para safe. This is actually in line din dun sa sagot ko kay the Yaya. Kung wala ka naman talagang pakay para mag-suot sa mga esquinita, just don’t.
