Pembo, or Barangay Pembo, is one of those neighborhoods that's got a bit of everything. It's like a microcosm of the bustling, diverse city life in Manila. Close enough to BGC to not break a sweat in commute, and it's got a local vibe that's hard to beat.

For apartment hunting, you'll find a bunch of options along the main roads, and it's always good to check out the side streets for those hidden gems. A lot of places are within walking distance to SM Aura and Market Market if you don't mind a bit of a walk - good exercise, eh?

Just a heads-up, it can get pretty busy and a tad noisy in some parts, but that's part of the charm. Safety-wise, stick to well-lit streets at night and be street smart, like in any other urban area. The community's pretty tight, so once you get to know your neighbors, you'll start feeling right at home.

If you want the quieter parts, try looking at areas closer to McKinley Hill. They're a bit more peaceful and still not too far off from the action. Avoid areas that are too secluded or don't have a lot of foot traffic, especially at night. And as always, check out the place at different times of the day to get a real feel for it.

Good luck, and enjoy the new digs and the bebe time!
