The Philippine Star is one of the most read newspapers in the country…read more When I want to compare the news or read a different take on it, I get The Philippine Star. Now, they also have a website which they update regularly and the news there is almost always up to date. When people need to place personal advertisements or announcements, they sometimes go to this office to do so. If you're gonna subscribe to them and ask them to send you a newspaper every day, come here and they'll help you. Or if you're cancelling your subscription, the people here can get it done for you. Funny, when my schoolmates wanted to OJT in The Philippine Star, they passed their papers here. I never found out if they got accepted. But if you need anything or if they can do anything for you, visit this little branch of The Philippine Star.

Hidden in the less glamorous side of Makati lies one of the youngest and hottest production houses…read morein the country. The inconspicuous four storey building might not seem much from the outside, but this houses fifty creative go-getters joined together for the purpose of creating the best videos the country has ever seen. You have probably seen some of Go Motion Productions' works. For two straight years, the company has filmed the ostensibly popular Nestea Laboracay videos. Other notable clients include Nestlé, P&G, Unilever, GSM and basically all the who's who in the ad agency business. I have witnessed this company grow from its humble start-up beginnings in Quezon City a few years back to its current stature: a prod powerhouse with a diverse client base and several awards under its belt. My friend has been working here for several years now and he was been the happiest busy man that I have known. For their full product portfolio I suggest you Google them. No job is too big.. Or small for these guys

I actually know a couple of people from Go Motion but it doesn't mean I am biased when I say that…read morethis production house is a serious contender to become one of the better prod houses in the country. As a production person myself, I have an idea on the ins and outs of commercial production and given Go Motion's record, I'm pretty sure they can talk the talk and walk the walk. Headed by a bunch of young professionals, Go Motion has done commercials and digital productions that are worth taking note of. Their creativity is coupled with professional, which makes them a team that is good to work with. They are spunky, creative and it helps that they can put a youthful spin on their projects.

I'm a filmmaker. So one of the first things I had to discover when I moved to Manila was where to…read moreprint some DVD labels and also do DVD authoring. Firstly I tried all the print shops in Salcedo Village area. None of them could print a simple DVD label. I was ready to give up when one day, while strolling down V.A.Rufino Street, I saw this tiny store with some computers. I came inside and asked the guy - Erwin Salak, he's the man! - if they could do this kind of service. Surprisingly he said yes! I gave him the DVDs and he printed the labels right away. The quality was very good and the price was very fair. Actually they can do all the authoring thing if you need - and also video editing, motion graphics and graphic design. They also work with events planning, so you can take a look at their photography and videography portfolio. Oh, and they take pictures for IDs. I highly recommend Erwin, the guy who saved me with my DVD label!

This place has saved me so many times!…read more There were times in college when some book I needed wasn't available in any bookstore. The only copy was in my school's library. I would run to Copylandia to have it photocopied. When my thesis partner and I had to make hundreds of copies of our survey, we would run here again. And when I needed to make several copies of sequence guides, shot lists and scripts, I'd come here. Just know that there will be times when the place is full of people all waiting for their photocopies. If you don't need it right away, they sometimes allow you to leave it overnight or leave it with them in the morning and come back in the afternoon. But hey, it's cheap and the quality is pretty good.

This Copylandia branch has been with my misery of photocopying event materials and flyers back in…read moremy office secretary days. I can say this branch would've been my favorite photocopying place in all of Ayala. Why? Let me count the ways. One: The staff here are friendly and accommodating. There hasn't been a transaction I've made here that got my blood pressure skyrocketing to the stratosphere. They are fast, and they obviously know their machines well. Two: The line is manageable. More often than not, Photocopying services are flocked by so many people, it takes you super long waiting for your turn. And all the more annoying if you're only going to photocopy one page or two! I've never experienced that in here. You can probably blame their "hiddenness" in Greenbelt 1, which is just convenient to me altogether. Three: They can do bulk photocopying and would even cut to size for you! Of course you would have to ask that as a "favor", so be friendly. Four: They have many choices of paper quality, types and sizes. If you're in need of large photocopying services, this is the place to be. Five: Their price range is....okay, I guess. But it's a mall shop. Expect it to be higher than usual.

Omg their selection of pens is pretty incredible. There were several aisles of different kinds and colors of pens, markers and pencils imaginable. I was so tempted to buy pens 'cause they were so inexpensive, but then I saw the line and I didn't want to wait. It's Christmas time so it's a super busy time in the mall. This bookstore also had lots of toys on the ground floor, and art and school supplies on the 2nd floor.
