they are the Makati CBD, Ortigas Center, Araneta Center, Makati and Fort, Ortigas with Annapolis area of San Juan, Pasig River with Ortigas and Greenfield Area on top, and again Fort Boni and Makati CBD with the Libingan ng mga Bayani...

WOW! great pics!

and yeah... Metro Manila skyline is very very nice from the air... wide areas of development... more compact and dense unlike other US cities that I saw like Minneapolis, LA, St. Paul, Houston, Austin....

ortigas center looks so small! but you can see how well arranged metro manila streets are... at least when viewed from above.

Awesome aerials...Ortigas has so many empty spaces!!! I like how the skyway and SLEX look like in Nichols going all the way to Makati. I also like how there are really good housing estates near the skylines of Makati (Forbes, Dasmarinas) and Ortigas (Valle Verde, Corinthians, Green Meadows).

I agree with renell...someone should edit those photos.

Anyways...as requested, my aerials:
...uh, has somebody seen them?? i cant find them

Look BGC with that great masterplanning. Just imagine that filled with office and residential skyscrapers. It will be absolutely stunning... There are so many nice circles

Found by aerial shots btw...




My BGC shot is almost identical to the one Lumpia posted...hehehe

I am overwhelmed. Can anyone point to me where Eastwood City is from all this pictures. I am guessing it is in the 6th picture from Lumpia's set.

Thx.
