00:00Many people are moving to Metro Manila to look for a job, according to an expert.
00:09But some are leaving Manila for life in the province.
00:15Their reason? Let's find out in the report of Katrina Son.
00:23Mikey Basa was born and raised in Caloocan.
00:27This is where he found a job.
00:29But his parents had to return to their province in Southern Leyte.
00:35When my dad had a brain tumor, we couldn't afford to rent a house and such.
00:44So they first moved here to the province.
00:48During the pandemic, Mikey returned to the province and found a job there.
00:53I decided to live here in the province.
00:56The traffic in Manila is not right and it's very chaotic.
01:02In our province, it's very safe.
01:04Toto Madayag and his wife have been working in Metro Manila since 2007.
01:10But as their son grew up, they felt the difference in life here in the province.
01:18I think there was one time, there were several times that I was out of the office at 5 p.m.
01:25but I was home around 8 or 9 p.m.
01:29And that's just for a 5-kilometer distance from your house to the office.
01:37It's also more expensive to buy and use utilities in Metro Manila.
01:41That's why in 2018, he built a house in the province.
01:44Everything's a lot cheaper here in the province because this is a farming community.
01:52So sometimes, we just ask for water spinach, chili, and long chilies.
01:58Here, wherever there are plants, the air is fresh and the houses are not crowded.
02:04According to a property consultant firm, even if someone leaves Metro Manila,
02:09many people still move here to work.
02:12What we're really trying to say is that there are more investments
02:15that are going outside of Metro Manila as compared to before.
02:20Houses and land outside of the NCR are cheaper.
02:24If the 50-square-meter house outside of Metro Manila is worth Php 5 million,
02:29in the NCR, it will double or even triple.
02:33And it's only a condominium that's equivalent and not a house.
02:37Cavite, Pampanga, and Bulacan are included in the places that are limited to moving.
02:43The work-from-home setup during the pandemic
02:46became an opportunity for others to work outside of the NCR.
02:51People have also realized that they have other means of making money outside of the usual employment.
02:57So now, they are more comfortable investing in condos or houses outside of Metro Manila.
03:04Katrina Son reporting for Jimmy's Integrated News.
03:14Koby Paras became a fanboy for the magazine cover of Sparkle star, Kailin Alcantara.
03:19Koby posted a picture of Kailin on his IG story
03:23with the caption, My Cover Girl with heart-eyed emoji.
03:27Kailin is sharing this.
03:34Alden, how are you?
03:38The shooting of Hello Love Again by Alden Richards and Catherine Bernardo in Canada
03:43was loved by the fans.
03:45It's full.
03:48Alden and Catherine are not happy yet.
03:54Gabby Garcia is a big fan of her first ever international film, Death March.
