Astoria Holiday Ownership
Location: Ortigas, Pasig
Address: 15 J. Escriva Drive, Ortigas Business District Pasig City, Manila, Philippines
That has always been a motto that I believed. I have no idea why I thought this time it would be different. Make a long story short Jacque and I were enticed to a sales presentation which I thought was for the hotel. The worm was a buffet dinner. Instead of boring you with details I have included excerpts of a chat between Jacque, her sister Maricar and I . For my non Tagalog speaking audience , you may ask for translation. I present this to you so you may know. The links provided are a wealth of information on this topic. Providing the good and bad points.
