    RESEARCH METRO MANILA MARKET UPDATE Q1 2017 METRO MANILA REAL ESTATE SECTOR REVIEW METRO MANILA AND THE THREAT OF EMERGING CITIES The attractiveness of Metro Manila for real estate developers and investors continues to exist. Although highly congested and vacancy rates are constantly dwindling, it is still the best location for business and investment activities. Considering that the seat of government, head offices of key companies, and the most reputable universities and institutions are located in Metro Manila, demand is perceived to always be buoyant and pervasive. The real challenge is innovation and the creation of new stock to cater to the limitless demand. The Philippine National Economic and Development Authority defines Philippine Emerging Cities as cities, relative to Manila, that are rapidly catching up in terms of business activities, innovation and ability to attract people. A few of the notable emerging cities in the Philippines are Angeles (Clark), Cebu, Davao, Iloilo and Zamboanga. Cebu, Davao and Iloilo are top 5, 6 and 8, respectively, among the Philippine Highly Urbanized Cities (HUC) of the country. Angeles City’s makings is supplemented by the much- awaited Clark Green City. Zamboanga City was identified as one of the emerging cities when it comes to information technology Source: Wikipedia operations.
