Parada Sports Complex – Makati Basketball Court

Looking for a private, but can be rented basketball court in Makati?  Since the City Hall of Makati took over the reservations of barangay courts, it is very hard to get a schedule especially if your goal is just to have a friendly game of basketball with friends, just a 2-hour reservation.  You have to go to 20th floor of the Makati City Hall, find an open schedule in the list.  If you are lucky enough get the schedule that you wanted (but 99% you won’t), you have to go down to the 9th floor to pay the fee and back to the 20th floor for documentation.  As far as I know, all Makati wooden-floored basketball courts rate is P800/hr.  Some Makati barangay basketball court does not require you to go to City Hall for reservation like the one in Bangkal.  Same rate, but I doubt that you get a chance there as their priority are the residence there.  You can also try The Zone, a privately owned recreational gym, but I also doubt if you can get reservations there.  The Zone court rate is P1,250/hr, wooden floor and the contact number is 893-1600.

Tagaytay City - Boat Ride to Taal Volcano

Ever wondered these Boat Rides take you?  This will take you to Talisay, Batangas actually.  It is a boat ride going to Taal Volcano.  Not to the volcano per se, but the place where you will do some trekking in going up to the crater of the famous Taal Volcano.

These people are agents of restaurants in Talisay.  So, it really depends on the person you made the deal with where you will end up, which restaurant you will stop at.  But, they are virtually the same.  Restaurants that offer boat rides are practically sitting beside each other, so no worries.  Same excitement, same experience.  The only difference is how you negotiate the package.

To get an idea of how much the boat ride .  Here you can find pricing of their boat rides and many more about what they are offering.  But, if you are in a tight budget and just want to simply experience what is this, then making a deal from an agent there would suffice.  The asking price from these agents costs around P1,500 to P2,000 and it also depends on the season.  But using your inborn-negotiating skills, you can close it down to P1,000.
