29 Years of THRIVING: Forest Lake Development Inc.!

It felt good seeing Forest Lake Development Inc. hold recognition for their sales people at Okada Manila last April 21st. It was their National Sales Convention, with over 550 attendees and the theme "THRIVE: Ani ng Tagumpay". At a record breaking 5.5 Billion in sales this year compared to 3.8 Billion last year, there definitely is a reason to celebrate for this big corp. All their employees, partners and stakeholders from around the country went there including their CEO Alfred Xerez Burgos III. 

They are the leading memorial park developer and now have transformed into an entity providing total memorial care. With services like Libre Burol, Libing Anywhere, Memorial Chapels, Columbarium a d Cremation, they've surpassed their goals and continue to partner with 41 funeral homes to this day. They now have 42 memorial parks all over the Philippines and plan to launch a few more in the near future. They also got SEC approve their capital stock fom 1 Billion to 4 Billion as they plan to expand and invest in tech for their properties too.

They were also entertained by Gary Valenciano.anf PPOP boy group AZTER which got the folks excited. Top performers were also given incentives like trips to Bangkok that is all expense paid. They are now 29 years in the business, and plan to have their services make an impact in the years to come.

A Haven Down South: Golden Haven Opens In Davao

They've been doing it so good that the rest of the country needs one, so they opened one at Purok New Visayas in Barangay Acacia, Buhangin District in Davao City. It's a full blown memorial park that is thoughtfully designed for families who would want their loved ones seen, remembered with dignity and serenity in mind. They've been doing this for years and Filipinos have seen great value from their other properties in Luzon, now Davao gets to have one of their own. 

Ms. Emy Lustado who manages Golden Haven's VisMin Operations dubs this as part of their huge commitment in memorial care, and to offer opportunities too for the local community. They will be starting pre selling period soon as this is set to be done first quarter. If you are interested, you may visit their official website goldenhaven.com.ph or call them via +63 917 828 4527 if you have inquiries.

Avida Land's South Park District Mural Design Competition

For me, this feels like a tradition as Avida Land has held competitions like these in the past. This time, the folks down south will hold a South Park District Mural Design Competition and seeing the entries all up close like this just makes it feel all so surreal!

This is located at the South Park District, at the National Road in Alabang, Muntinlupa City. Featured works include "In Her Future Memories" by Jhocel "Anthony Marahuyo" Malicsi. He had himself and 13 other visual artists work on it namely Rheydene Luca Ortega, Rhealhet Luca Ortega, Laurence Sebolino Gutierrez, Ma. Aleilyn Joyce Domingo Botin, John Roland Alipis, Ainafer Rupal Arena, John Alexis Rupal Arena, Roma Nieves Huet, Rica Permejo, Mia Jormalyn Astrera Balaoro, John Lenarrd Soriano Barua, Michael Grospe Autos, and Jefferson Panghulan Parajas. They were also helped logistically by Jerome Edianel Carandang, Charmaine Abiado Camba, Paul Denvir Delmonte, and John Carlo Decrepito to accomplish this work. They also utilized Davies Paints and did the mural on an external wall, complete with vivid colors and lovely story. This would certainly be a great place to make memories when they complete the 6.6 hectare mixed use properties with their Avida Towers Ardane (which is now on pre-selling) and the Avida Towars Altura (which sits right across South Park Center and South Park Corporate Center).

According to Ms. Tess Tatco the Marketing Head for Avida Land, "We are so excited to see an additional feature for Avida Land projects down south. This will be so nice to see with the existing Reginald Yuson art installations and I'm sure people would flock to this area as we invite everyone to see it themselves. The Part City, Part Nature, Pure South was a fitting theme for this, blending modern styles, technology and nature."

Ann Baylon Jara the Brand Marketing Head of Avida says "Coming to the south is just a great combination of city and the quietness of CALABARZON. Avida Towers Altura and Avida Towers Ardane are located here, this is what it is all about. It's industry and aesthetics, and these artists show passion  doing it in 12 days, and as we grow, we hope this reminds the people who live in the development, we are so happy to have your work here!"

They won 500 thousand pesos in this competition
