Growing Business District
From a veritable wasteland in the past, Ortigas Center is now considered as one of the most important financial and business districts in Metro Manila. It was part of the Augustinian Order's "Hacienda de Mandaloyon" estate before it was acquired by top real estate developer Ortigas & Company.
With the revitalization of this underrated locality, skyscrapers are dominating its skyline and the economic activity in the area is thriving. It comes as no surprise that several important companies and institutions in the country have moved to Ortigas Center. These include Asian Development Bank, San Miguel Corporation, Sy-owned Banco de Oro, and Jollibee Foods Corporation, who all made Ortigas Center the location of their main headquarters.
The area is also home to some prominent, historical landmarks in Metro Manila. EDSA Shrine, where the notable People Power Revolution was held, is just beside Robinson's Galleria mall and the nearby Ortigas station of the Metropolitan Railway Transportation (MRT).
