At first it was very difficult to come up with an idea of what pisses me off in the neighborhood (Merville village) where I live in, however when I began to observe the other villages I realized that Merville has so much to improve on. The most important improvement identified is that Merville village has limited retailers that offer the basic necessities for humans not unlike other villages where the occupants have numerous choices.
For example in BF Homes Paranque you can find critical establishments that provide the basic necessities - food (grocery or supermarket), medicines, repair shop (for the car), alteration shops and etc. On top of that the village has several restaurants where people can dine and don't need to travel all the way to far places just to eat good food. The establishments are extremely near the houses of the occupants that people can just walk or use public transportation. In Merville, though there are available retailers inside the village, these establishment have extremely limited offer. We have to travel to Magallanes or Bicutan just to buy the basic needs.
What I would suggest to the homeowners association of Merville village is to come up with a business center (which is already semi-available, but definitely needs tremendous makeover and improvement and more concessionaires). Other than getting the big retailers like Mercury Drug, Rustans supermarket, etc.the village should use the avenue/opportunity to encourage homeowners in Merville to create their own small businesses that they can put in the business center. Example business ideas are parlors, laundry shop, coffee shop, drugstore,
grocery/small supermarket, palengke, auto shop, restaurants, cake shop, etc.
