Hi Garpo,
Having lived in Cavite, a little further out than Imus. I lived in a small area called Javalera, near Eagle Ridge Golf Course, between General Trias & Amadeo. Even though this is only about 20-25min drive from Malagasang II, I find the smog and traffic just far too great, that close to Manila. Just my opinion. Still, you are close enough to good shopping at Dasma, Imus, Bacoor, MOA and even the markets at Baclaran. If you are game, like me, you can drive into Manila to the markets at Tutuban (known as D\'Visoria). Also, an easy drive to shopping at Alabang, along the Daang Hari Rd. You will be close enough to some great resto\'s at Tagaytay, good for romance. There is easy enough access to the Laguna & Rizal regions, even down to Batangas. Hope you enjoy the move, as it can be the gateway to so many interesting places to explore.
Note: I only returned to Australia on 7May11 and there is a lot of road repairs from Bacoor to Imus, which really really slows traffic. It is busy enough thru this area, but the road works, will take a long time to complete. Just be aware of the delays you will experience.
