Take your pick: MALATE or MAKATI?

Will Hunting · Sep 16, 1999, 05:17 AM

What's your favorite gimmick area? Is it the high profile world of Makati? Or maybe Malate's ecclectic mix?

I find Malate more....cosmopolitan. You go to Makati to be "seen", to Malate to be seen and heard. Cultural, social, lahat na ng barriers, dissolve in the air. The word for Malate is Maverick!

I prefer going to Malate than Makati because you can get a lot more "sights and sounds" there. And you get to meet different kinds of people.. not the usual "sosy" and "conio" types in Makati.

it's hands down malate!!!! one of my favorite places in the world. Less pretentious than any makati counterpart. Whenever i do go out, I'm almost always in malate. It's very bohemian. It reminds me of the Village up in NYC. And it's actually cheap gimmick coz you park at one place(though looking for one is quite an adventure in itself) and just walk through Nakpil and remedios circle. It's cozy, hip and innovative =)

MALATE!!!

Will Hunting · Sep 17, 1999, 01:38 AM

The score so far:

MALATE: 4

MAKATI: 0

To those who voted for Malate: Too bad it's been raining like crazy the past few weekends.

ngayon makati ako but when i reach 18 im going for malate

tr|n|ty · Sep 17, 1999, 02:12 AM

I noticed that 20 somethings (or atleast ppl in their late teens) do converge at Malate. I personally find some Makati places a tad juvenile or too overly "hip" for my own taste (not that i'm THAT old

). It is sad that when the rains come, Malate is a bad place to chill.

Will Hunting-ur the bro of Chiqui? So u most probably know my brother, too

and i have a feeling i've seen you around the places i hang out

Logan · Sep 17, 1999, 02:49 AM

malate... it's manila's own version of boracay... no pretensions... good clean (?) fun... reasonably priced food and drinks... small and cozy bars and resto's... filled with people who know how to party... "come as you are" atmosphere... bands, rave music, retro, rock, world music, jazz, acoustic, r&b hip-hop... tara sa malate...

blue fever · Sep 17, 1999, 04:07 PM

i think i like makati better. m more used to hanging out there. malate is ok... maybe m not so used to it yet there. ive just been there 2 or 3 times... as opposed to makati probably every or every other weekend. but of course, drinks are cheaper in malate! haha... its easier to get drunk

M! · Sep 17, 1999, 06:23 PM

Makati is a great place to shop and comfortably watch nice movies...more money, more fun. Malate is the place for people who simply want to have fun. Whether you have enough money or not, there's a place for you to go to. It's a place where you can just be yourself... who you are, what you are, where you're from, girl, guy, or gay...who cares? Everybody just wants to have fun!

Will Hunting · Sep 17, 1999, 06:53 PM

Yo Logan, you're right, "clean" may be a a questionabel adjective to describe Malate. What's cool about the place though, is that whatever kind of fun you want to have is ok. There's something about the place that makes people more open, more approachable.

tr|n|ty, how would I know you're brother? Leave me a clue here or just e-mail me.

tr|n|ty · Sep 17, 1999, 08:47 PM

Will Hunting-how about ..you call each other "brod"? good enough?

KRA_PENN · Sep 18, 1999, 06:49 PM

Malate...relatively new

Makati...kasi pwedeng magmall before hitting the bars etc.

krayola · Oct 22, 1999, 11:06 AM

It's the 15th or the 30th of the month, or let's just say u've got big bucks and u wanna have some sure fire gimmick, where would u go?

ice · Oct 22, 1999, 11:07 AM

MALATE!!!!!...ummm makati's fine too

CaRaMBa · Oct 22, 1999, 11:08 AM

Decades in Makati, grabe, nagwawala talaga kami dun. Non-stop dancing!

TYA in St. Francis. It's near, my barkada and I are 'regulars' (sort of) there, and their loaded potato skins... YUMMY!

Ira · Oct 22, 1999, 11:21 AM

Malate. It's cheaper, it's less pretentious, you can wear anything you want, and the crowd's less teenybopper. The traffic might be bad, but it's not as bad as in Makati.
