Game of Drones at Circulo Verde

Wow! That was all I could say when I watched the races over at the first ever Game of Drones at Circulo Verde, a property managed and developed by Ortigas & Company. The last time I was here they opened The Bike Playground which was so awesome for hobbyists and bike enthusiasts here and nearby communities. 

These guys spent thousands of pesos just yo jazz up the usual drones and fit their rigs for racing purposes. True enough, these things zip by so fast, I fear it was going to chop off one or two limbs, but I'm so glad this sport is so safe for kids and adults, especially the ones who plays toys for the big boys.

I visited their main workshop area and found them making sure all their gears are in perfect working condition. Aside from that, once a drone crashes in the course, they fix it right away as they've brought spare parts too. 

I also love how they took really good care of their equipment. They personalize everything from blades to the actual controller, like this one in camouflage!

All these drones have eyes, they even monitor them real time in one station so as to make sure the spotters would see they pass every obstacle in the race course. They also have an organization going and these guys are mostly members of it. Circulo Verde is a sprawling property taking brave steps in making their community to be an active one, ecologically friendly and a really nice place to go to on weekends.

After a long day of eliminations, 8 drones will be battling it out in the finals. There will be also team time trials so whoever gets that will win these trophies and medals, prolly some moolah too. Ah this place is so competitive, I could smell the androgen from a mile away.

Ortigas & Co. Opens The Bike Playground at Circulo Verde

Have you gone to Circulo Verde? It's been a while for me and from the looks of it, they have changed a lot. I was here when they started constructing it a few years ago because I work nearby. Ortigas & Company had a really good vision developing this place into a township. This was once a river cabbage plantation that sat beside the Marikina River. They developed dikes and a model sewerage system so it won't get flooded. Built buildings for condo dwelling and several structures which now houses restaurants and businesses built right inside the community. 

That's not all, because this time Ortigas & Co. is launching a new venue for bike enthusiasts. It's called "The Bike Playground Circulo Verde" which sits at the back of the sprawling property. They now have an internationally designed bike trail, one for the kids, plus a facility indoors with asphalt. The tracks are designed for all levels and even if it's technical, they can still join and ride on the track for only 65 pesos for the whole day and 95 for night rides. 

During the event, the blessing was graced by world champion Adrien Loron and Ortigas & Co Executives. They also did several bike stunts and excercises together with fitness vixen and TV personality Diane Castillejo. Now you've got to bring your bikes to Circulo Verde and try the course yourself. It's affordable, you've got places to run, bike and eat in one place. Make sure you bring your friends along, it's right behind Eastwood and you won't get lost, just follow the arrows to get there.
