Pasig
is a mishmash of different cultures all in one city. Spanning
Santolan in the north to Nagpayong in the south, Pasig’s area of
31.46 square kilometers is a sprawling mass of vibrant neighborhoods
one can discover. Here we detail some of the places you may want to
check out whenever you step foot in Pasig.
Kapitolyo
Everyone
who loves food trips or exploring up-and-coming places has definitely
heard of Kapitolyo. Think Quezon City’s Maginhawa: an urban jungle
vibe with surprising new restaurants and establishments at every
corner you turn. A gritty but hipster crowd frequents this place,
with most people being yuppies in search of something grimier than
what Pasig’s main business district, Ortigas, has on offer.
Santa
Lucia
Nearing the border of Rizal Province, Santa Lucia itself is a suburban area. But don’t be fooled – there’s still a lot to check out in this destination. For all your entertainment needs, Sta. Lucia Grand East Mall and Robinson’s Metro East are two malls situated beside each other, so you can shop to your heart’s desire. For foodies looking to satisfy their cravings, there is a food park named Food dEASTrict right beside Sta. Lucia Mall that you can explore right after your shopping trip.

Ortigas
What
else can we say about Ortigas that hasn’t already been said? The
busiest part of Pasig, Ortigas serves as the city’s pulsing heart.
The offices of major Philippine companies such as BDO and Union Bank
tower over the smaller businesses that have risen in this district
over the years. As such, most of the people you will encounter here
are corporate types, but there is the occasional “growth hacker”
as the startup scene is very much alive in Ortigas as well.
