12 Signs That You Are A True Blooded #TigaSouth

People from the South, or known as #TigaSouth, who work in the Greater Manila Area always bring their A-Game in the office despite the travel dilemmas and lifestyle differences. Because living in the South has its advantages and disadvantages, we created a list that makes one a true blooded #TigaSouth.

When we say “South”, we refer to Paranaque, Pasay, Muntinlupa, Las Pinas, Cavite, Batangas and Laguna. If you live in one of these areas, make sure to read on and find out what makes a #TigaSouth distinct from the rest!

1. You’re the earliest person to get in the office.

 You wake up before 5 in the morning to avoid traffic. Hence, the early bird.

2. You hate the “buhos” system.

Motorists and commuters passing by Las Pinas and Cavite area either love it or hate it, especially during rush hour traffic.

3. At work, you try to hide your Tagalog accent.

   The first time Manilenos heard you talk, they instantly knew you’re from the South.

4. You’re addicted to S.EX. (It’s not what you think.)

   Morning, noon, dinner time or even at midnight, you can never go wrong with Sinangag Express – in short, SEX.

5. You know the best cheap food finds in town.

Atoy’s, Matys, Tuding’s, Mang Raul’s and Don Galo – nope, they’re not five-star chefs but they serve some of the yummiest food in the South.

6.  You run to BF when you’re hungry.

And we’re not talking about your boyfriend. But you can tag him along in BF Homes Paranaque and BF Resort Las Pinas where you have a wide selection of restaurants to try!

7. You might have friends who study in international schools.

Who knows, that cool kid in your block might be studying in Southville International School and Colleges in Las Pinas, Singapore School Manila in Paranaque, or South Mansfield College in Muntinlupa?

8. You shop and hop from one mall to another.

Christmas shopping is no sweat for the #TigaSouth because there are lots of shopping centers in the South – Festival Mall, Alabang Town Center, Robinson’s Las Pinas, SM Southmall, SM Sucat, SM Bicutan and more!

9. It’s only a couple hours drive going to Batangas beaches.

Your barkada‘s out-of-town trip definitely involves the fine sand and clear waters of Batangas.

10. You are just a few kilometers away from Laguna hot spring resorts.

If you feel like spending quality time with your family over the weekend, Laguna is one of the quickest getaway destination for you.

11.   You can easily go to amusement parks whenever you wish.

People from the South have easy access to the grandest amusement parks near the metro. There is Sky Ranch in Tagaytay, Enchanted Kingdom in Laguna or Star City in Pasay.

12. You don’t worry about your craving for a bowl of hot Bulalo.

…because it only takes one road trip to Tagaytay and you know your late night craving is fixed.
