Move to the South?

Once upon a time, a developer was building a new city. To attract residents, they donated land to an educational institution.

Thirty years later, the city had grown into the country's main business district. The institution's land had become highly valuable.

The developer offered to buy back the land, promising a larger parcel in their new development in the South as part of the deal.

However, the school declined the offer, fearing their professors would not accept the commute to the new campus.

The school in question is the Asian Institute of Management, and the proposed new campus location is Nuvali.

This is a story I heard years ago, so some details may be off.

The main point is that for a new city to thrive, essential establishments and infrastructure—such as schools, hospitals, and public services—must be in place, along with skilled manpower.

Among the various estates being developed, I am most optimistic about Nuvali because it has ample space, (already has) good schools, and relatively easy access (as opposed to Antipolo). The only question is, how do you convince companies to set up business there?
