We have one in our home in Antipolo... Growers generally grow them in Tagaytay because the plant prefers cool weather and lots of sun. There are different types of basil though. Italian cuisine uses one kind and Thai and Vietnamese cuisine uses another kind. You may want to be more specific as to what type for your research. You can go to Market Market at the Fort and they usually have some...sometime Rustan's supermarket carries plants. Surely you will find it in Quezon City at the circle where bureau of plants is.

University of the Philippines - that's the only recommendation you'll get from me (die hard peyups here!). SAT not required!!! But you have to pass the UPCAT (UP College Admissions Test) and your SAT is a good preparation for this. And YES, we do speak good English in the Philippines. It is our medium of instruction.
