Residents of Ayala Land villages this side of Binan and Sta. Rosa, get the Greenfield Parkway stickers for a shortcut to home. We exit the SLEX via Mamplasan, and go through the parkway. It is a big deal to be skipping the traffic when exiting via the Sta. Rosa toll exit. Going past and reaching the Paseo de Sta. Rosa area via the Eton exit is alright, scenic, but more expensive and longer.
Recently I learned there is yet another stretch of 'scenic' road from Mamplasan to the Laguna blvd, and that cuts through the entrance of Verdana Mamplasan, and the Tamayo estate, among others. I hadn't heard about this place before, so I really don't know if there are lots for sale, or if it is some sort of club.
I actually hope the rotunda from the Greenfield Parkway to Verdana never changes. There are rice fields, their accompanying egrets, and banana plants by that small roundabout. It's nice and green, and I consider it very important for our children to view it. When I was growing up, we passed roads to Pasig with rice fields as well. I remember my mother practicing driving with us as passengers...and my fear of her driving us to the edge of the road into a muddy paddy.
Driving through the new roads to Nuvali, I still saw some cows, and various birds. I believe the bird population from the Laguna blvd. to Nuvali has dwindled though...
So I guess I can't decide...rural or urban. I want to live in both.
