"To give context, I'm a guy. I work in an office sa One Ayala and this situation has been going on for several weeks, probably a month. I wanted to bring this up because 1.) I think I've exhausted all options and 2.) I want to know if anyone has seen or experienced this at One Ayala specifically.

This started happening to me at the 3rd floor bathroom and mostly in the early morning, before the mall officially opens at 11am, since my work starts at regular work hours pa.

First encounter was before I went into our office, I decided to wash up in the bathroom since I was sweaty from the commute. After peeing, I washed my hands and face, and that's when I noticed that one of the closed stalls was slightly open, and two eyes were peeping out. I only saw him for a bit but I got freaked out kasi the bathroom was still not fully lit up, and I couldn't see his face. I took my bag and just walked straight to my office. I was really rattled but I shook it off because I didn't want to think hard about it.

But I encountered him a second time, in the same bathroom. If familiar po kayo sa layout ng One Ayala bathroom, usually mahaba siya, but the one in the 3rd floor you can clearly see who's who from one end to the next. The stall he stayed in before was the same I saw him in again and in the next encounters. It's always the farthest stall, facing the mirror and washing area. I can see why he always uses it kasi it's the stall that allows you as much view of the bathroom as possible, and he always locks it until someone (i.e. me) comes in.

For the second encounter, I saw the door that stall was closed, and he only started opening it slightly once I started peeing. It really bothered me but I also just needed to work, so I just washed up with my eyes watching his corner. He never moves or speaks Kasi and he just peeked out.

On the third and next encounters, he does the same thing. He never spoke or fully showed his face or even came out of the door. I felt really troubled about it so I even brought him up to my officemates and they all felt it was creepy nga, but only one of them ever saw him and it was just once daw. Ako palang ang may multiple sights sa kanya.

For the redditors dito, i've seen him a total of 5 times na ata. I use that bathroom kasi wala kaming in-office bathroom. Yes, i've used other floor bathrooms and so far wala siya dun. My in-office days are hybrid so I don't know if he's always there. From the 3rd encounter onward, I've tried to confront him and even asked him if may kailangan ba siya or takot ba siya. Pero di talaga sumasagot. He doesn't even try to nudge the door further open. I've even taken tissue to the stall next to him but he doesn't do anything. I've also brought him up sa mga janitor or security, pero they don't seem to believe me kasi the times I try to report when they're around, wala siya sa banyo.

Has anyone else seen him? Or experienced this sa One Ayala? What do you recommend I do, or is this a non-issue pala? A part of me wants to give the benefit of the doubt na he might have a mental / social issue, baka he needs the bathroom to be completely vacant before he can leave or something, and if so I don't want him to be ostracized. But it creeps me out talaga kasi he keeps the door closed until I urinate, which is when he starts to peek out more.

TLDR: guy in one ayala bathroom always peeks out when I urinate, tried every possible action I can think of, but nothing happens. Has anyone else seen him/experienced this? What do you recommend I do, or non-issue ba toh?"

I'm planning to move in Makati for college next year and I'm wondering if bahain po ba sa may Chino Roces Ave? And what other places po usually binabaha?

Hello! I'm planning to stay with my girlfriend for a week as we are celebrating our anniversary next month, she's just started working in San Juan right now but we're both from Cebu so we don't know much about places around metro manila.

Here's what we like:

- Good view

- Good food

- Steak

- Kpop

- Cats and Dogs

- Cozy places

- Simple activity for couples(?)

- Books

We're not into:

- clubs

- drinking

We have no problem spending around 3-5k for a meal or traveling to neighboring cities around San Juan or maybe BGC.

I've already searched and kept tabs of places from fb and ig but I'm scared it might be overhyped, I thought maybe personal experience from locals would be better.

Please help me. Thank you in advance!

Hi!!

I’m 26F na medyo broken and nasa mid life crisis char. For those na solo living here sa makati, let’s be friends. Mahilig ako mag walk and tambay sa coffee shop also. We can create a GC if maraming gusto.

Hi po! Planning to relocate sa Makati for work. I will be working around Paseo de roxas. Can you recommend condo na malapit lang there or ano ano pong streets sa Pio del pilar ang hindi binabaha that I can explore to look for apartments. Budget is 4-5k exclusive of utilities. Thank youu!

Edit: Condo/Apartment sharing po hinahanap ko hehe

Fuck my chungus life bro.

So I moved into our condo unit here sa Pio. We rented it out for a year, so this is utterly the previous tenant’s fault. THERE IS AN INFESTATION OF GERMAN ROACHES. Please tell me what to do!!!! I’m so sick and so tired of seeing them everywhere nandidiri ako 🥲🥲 do I replace the hinges of my cabinets?!?! Pls answer. I’m so desperate pero ayoko gumastos ng sobra for pest control :(((

aside from jogging, gym, bars and club. Ano usually activities na pwede gawin around makati during the night? Hehehe

Help a diabetic girlie out? What restaurants in Makati have single serve sugarfree / no sugar added options? So far, I’ve only been able to buy slices/single serving options at Mom&Tinas on delaRosa and Crisha’s Kitchen in Glorietta. Then sometimes a stall in the Powerplant weekend baker’s fair would have it. I just dont want to have to buy a whole cake all the time (looking at you Sugarbee).

Yes, fully aware that these must be consumed in moderation and sugarfree doesnt mean eat all you can (which is why I want slices). Thanks!
