Ayala Center Makati

Top of mind name recall when Makati, Philippines is mentioned is ...Ayala Center.

During the 60s up to the 90s, Ayala Center Makati was known as Makati Commercial Center. I recall that, back then in the 60s, known landmarks were the Rizal Theater (where now stands the famous Shanri-La Hotel Makati), Shoemart (the original name of SM Department Store) and the ever enduring Anson’s Emporium (relocated within Ayala Center at least twice since then).



Ayala Center Makati is a recreational, shopping, dining and entertainment development centered on two Ayala Center Malls, Ayala Center Glorietta, and Ayala Center Greenbelt, an upscale shopping center. The two Ayala Center Malls are surrounded by smaller department stores and retail centers, these are SM Makati, The Landmark (read “low priced groceries and dry good items”), Park Square and Rustan's Makati.

When in need of supplies for home and office, one goes directly to Glorietta. Alternately, when decided to relax by shopping or dining, one goes to Greenbelt.

















Ayala Center includes 6750, where shops of international brands and Procter and Gamble's and Chevron’s Philippine Headquarters are located. It also includes well known hotels chains such as the Hotel Intercontinental, Dusit Hotel, Marriott's New World Hotel, The Peninsula Manila and the Shangri-La Hotel Makati.

Fine residential serviced apartments such as Oakwood Premier Ayala Center (now called Ascott Makati) where the Oakwood Mutiny in 2003 was held and Greenbelt Residences, and Ayala's Ayala Museum are also located in Ayala Center. This mall is also near to Ayala MRT Station.

Soon to rise residential condominiums are The Residences at Greenbelt and The Raffles Residences at Glorietta.

Why Choose the Philippines for Medical Procedure?

The Philippines, with its huge pool of competent doctors, nurses, physical therapists and other medical health practitioners, is the best place to go for practically any medical procedure.

That a growing number of Filipino health professionals are able to migrate abroad to look for better opportunities only indicates the high level of their competence.

Rest assured that while the Filipino nurses and doctors who take care of you may be unassuming, they are highly qualified: curricula in Philippine medical and nursing schools are far more challenging than in those in other Southeast Asian countries, and are at par with those of the best schools in Europe or the United States. Many Filipino doctors, too, have acquired their postgraduate or fellowship training from well-known institutions in the U.S., the UK and other developed countries.

More, Filipino health care practitioners are not only trained in Western medicine, but, coming from a deep and honest tradition of healing, have an entrenched penchant for healing and service.

To complete your healing experience, you can recuperate at a number of tourist and healing spots that the country boasts. The choices are many. For sure, you will be able to find a spot or two that will suit your time constraints, budget and personal preferences.
