RLC Holds HELLO HOME FOREVER 2025 Expo at Bridgetowne Grounds

Friday, June 20, 2025

RLC Residences and Robinsons Land did a developer curated event at the Bridgetowne grounds called Hello Home Forever 2025. This is an expo designed for those looking for the best deals for condo and home units so you can find where to Raise, Live and Connect in any of their communities. This is the place where you can take a look at your prospect homes (existing ones), investments (soon to rise units) from the folks of RLC Residences. This will run from today until June 22, so you've got a lot of time to do it especially in the weekend.

Mr. John Richard Sotelo the CMO of Robinsons Land says "It's our 45th anniversary and this brings to life how we welcome people in our properties. We would like to thank everyone who went here today and we bid you Hello Home Forever!"


 


The first part of the tent houses registration and yes, they accept walk ins too. The middle part of the tent has several display units so you could physically see the space, with furniture and all. The end part of the tent has a huge lane for what you need to make it YOUR HOME. It's got the home decor vendors, bank home loan firms and the stage where a few celebrities would appear (I heard Heart Evangelista is coming!). For those interested, they'll be including talks by Charm De Leon from Ready2Adult PH, Mayora Frances Cabatuando of Home Buddie and more. They also will have talks so you would be better informed about the properties that they have. Else, you can have one on one consultations with their real estate reps at the venue. 


Their huge tent is located a few minutes away from OPUS Mall, but better yet, just search for Nearby Mercato Central on Grab and it'll have you dropped off at the main entrance. I've been there and enjoyed it!

A Balanced Lifestyle at Pico Terraces at Hamilo Coast

Friday, April 25, 2025


Maybe, just maybe, you're looking at your next summer home. We're sure you've been dreading Manila weather because it's just too hot out here for most of the day. With 7,100 islands to choose from in the Philippines, SM Prime takes you to Pico Terraces at Hamilo Coast in Batangas.

It's a really quiet refuge from SM Leisure Resort Residences, tower structures that are mid rise development set to be all done in 2027. You can just walk a few minutes to Pico Beach and get access to the Beach and Country Club. It's also available in different floor sizes if you want a one, two or three bedroom layout. It's definitely made for families who would want a different feel from the urban setting. Something that would balance your lifestyle if you want to run here when you need a little more peace and quiet. This is something that isn't too far from Manila either, because a 2 hour drive could get you there according to Ms. Shirley Ong the EVP of SM LRR. They are also keen on keeping much of the land for open spaces, something that you should consider especially if you have a lot of kids, or family members. They also have a lot of amenities, gym, a place for yoga and other activities for the day.

They also have pools that would rival huge resorts, all in the comforts of the cove. If you are also a nature lover, want to trek, they have trails and more to enjoy the outdoors. They also have several places you can hold private events, those special occasions aimed to make memories, you'll love it there! Go find them on socials and their website, I bet those 211 units would run out fast judging from the interest growing with it.

Vista Land Wants You to MOVE Into These Mega Manila and Central Luzon Properties

Saturday, March 22, 2025

Filipinos always wish for their own homes and the country's leading developer heard your call. Vista Land just announced their MOVE program, which means Making Ownership at Vista land Easy. As the name says, they've made it extra easy for you to own homes in their various projects located in 47 provinces and almost 150 cities/municipalities.

By streamlining payment plans and design them for both international and local buyers, folks can get to move in by giving 3 percent for their down payments. This would also get them over 30 percent savings if they go through the MOVE program and purchase it cash on the spot.

If you're a professional trying to start a life in one of their locations, or a husband and wife trying to grow your family, this would be a convenient way to invest. Although, this very attractive MOVE program will only be available til the end of the month (March 31st), so the best the time to avail it is NOW!

Vista Land has always been about growing communities. By putting in various house types in these locales, they get to accommodate home dwellers in different price points. Currently, they have Vista Estates, Crown Asia (who's doing different themes by the way!), Camella, Vista Manors and Lumina which they aggressively offer. They make sure these projects always have accompanying businesses, shopping centers, churches and transportation hubs nearby which makes them habitable from the day they enter their homes.  

Central Luzon alone is experiencing rapid growth and several estates in the province of Zambales, Tarlac, Nueva Ecija, Bataan, Pampanga, Bulacan and nearby cities are experiencing progress. Jobs are generated in these communities and folks need not to go far to make a living or enjoy life's pleasures!

OFW's could even have their homes rented out as investments, it's been done quite often and because these homes are secured, have really nice green turfs, and urban planned well, it remains an attractive dwelling for those who prefer renting. This goes the same for those who prefer condominium units in Mega Manila because everything is accessible including local rails and transportation modes in these developments. It'll be so convenient to do business and entertain themselves whenever available.

If you want to know more about their properties, simply visit their official website www.vistaland.com.ph or follow their social channels @VistaLandOfficial and see the reasons why they continue to lead in the market.

Get Scared with "THE CARETAKERS" in Over 100 Theaters This February 26th

Tuesday, February 25, 2025

 


If you want a really good thriller and scare this month, you should take your family and friends to the cinemas and watch THE CARETAKERS.

This is a film masterfully crafted for the silver screen by Director Shugo Praico. After watching it in SM North Edsa - The Block last night, I would agree with the R13 rating because for starters, it's pretty intense, has quite a few twists as expected, and would require a more mature audience because of scenes apt for that age. I'd reckon comparing it with Regal Entertainment's Shake Rattle and Roll series but with a fresher, grander pov, but still does those scare and revenge plots quite good.

It also gives a lot of importance to musical scoring, something this film has definitely done remarkably well because the surprises in the story would require that, and make you feel a bit invested with Iza Calzado and Dimples Romana's characters. Which reminds me, this certainly screams masterclass because 2 of the most formidable actresses in the country are doing these interesting characters. It's like 2 geniuses working on one project, and to do something extreme like this would show their range, unquestionable, done like pros. The cinematography is also something to be lauded. It felt like a Hollywood film inside the cinemas. The color grading is amazing and you can feel how they took time editing this film to make sure you're seeing something good in theaters.

 

Ms. Iza says "This is horror of course, but in hindsight, it's a story of mothers who would want to fight for their rights in owning the lot. Horror was used as a tool to tell that story. Though this has a huge back story, of the one who owns the lot on paper, or the ones that took care of the property for years. Are they really after the home, or are they just making sure the next generations would still see it. Working with her, it was super easy. Our co stars, the production, it was light and easy on set because I love learning from people. As a mother, as a business woman, I admire her on so many levels because she's smart. On set, you won't have to think about it, our energy levels are the same, I can depend on her and that makes part of the work done. She's not there to overshadow other artists, it was a very good dance. Production was also A+, we were spoiled and made everything easy. We even had coffee, fruits, food handy. I've always loved that concept where you go to work and just relax in the same way. The shoot was efficient, you have producers and staff that does their job fast. There was no lack of preparation, we finished it in 8 days. We even had delays but did it super fast. It's also a zero waste production, it was a great experience. The ecological aspect of the film is also seen in the way they made it. We hope this would also translate in what people would learn from the movie."

Dimples added "After watching the film, being in the real estate industry gave me somewhat an advantage to do this character. My husband and I invest heavily in that industry and when this story was presented to me, it wasn't far from what I think of land and its use. It could nurture, or destroy you. It made me think about how owning a title doesn't necessarily mean you are the rightful one to own a property. It makes you think in a bigger picture, and how we are all just property managers in one way or form. Over time, you get to think a lot about ownership even if you lease or sell the property to another person. This is not just horror but has so many underlying stories in it. Philippine cinema is evolving, and stories won't seem to be what it is on paper. This is the first movie I'm doing with Iza and I hope people see how special it is. We don't usually have projects because we often get the same character, but she guested in one project. Working with her is bliss, I know it would be fun but didn't realize it would be THIS FUN. When we are working on set, we usually see it as relief, but we're both moms and we see how we get to do a lot on set rather than just the things we do at home. She's one of the reasons why I see motherhood as a noble profession, I was doing teleseryes left and right, but working with her was intentional, but super easy because of her. She's like family. It was a very good experience, so many firsts, and hope you will see that in the film."   



We also got to talk to the other cast members particularly Marco Masa, Jake and Jessica Taylor about their experience being in the film. Jake and Jessica are famous on YouTube and on Facebook, and this was a first for them. Marco on the other hand is quite seasoned despite his age and shared how he was so glad to be included in this project (he's been in a few on his own, and super thankful for the numerous projects he's in). Other stars like Inka Magnaye, Ashley Sarmiento, Althea Ruedas, Erika Clemente, Erin Rose Espiritu completes the cast. Listen in!

 



This is a movie that's entertaining, will teach you about the value of family,  love, having responsibilities and taking ownership. This will be out on theaters tomorrow so if you have time to go to cinemas, this should be on your list. It will be on over 100 theaters and is under Regal Entertainment and Rein Entertainment.

This is one scary place... and makes you ask who the rightful owner is!

Development Plans for Tagaytay Highlands Bared

Thursday, February 13, 2025


The famed mountain resort and leisure destination Tagaytay Highlands just rolled out its plans for the 1,200 hectare property. This land that sits on Cavite, Laguna and Batangas which still asks to be developed further, this is where Highlands Prime Inc. comes in, they're the subsidiary of SM Prime Holdings.

The plan includes to put the property filled with commercial establishments, provide services for its residents, space for recreational activities, but still keeping it sustainable. It's going to further improve the mixed use plan they have for The Highlands, Midlands, Midlands West an Greenlands which are districts of Tagaytay Highlands. I remember staying in The Highlands a couple years back which was filled with Swiss looking chalets and log cabins, filled with pine trees, a panoramic view of the mountains, something unbelievable to see often for folks from Manila.

The Midlands on the other hand will be paradise for Golf lovers as their Midlands Golf Club will draw in fans of the sport but still offer a place of refuge with stunning views of Taal Lake, Mount Makiling and forests along the lake. Luxury villas, a place to camp out, plus a long stretch of residences that promote health, wellness, while nestled in the mountains. Midlands West on the other hand will have open parks, so you get a mix of modern amenities and nature. The Greenlands remain eco friendly, wide and apt for outdoor activities which will remain this way for a long time. They will foster conservation efforts to maintain the natural beauty of the property, with a goal to reach a million trees before 2044. As of now, 490,000 sits in it. There stands more for future generations, and this is just the start for Tagaytay Highlands. There's more low density condominiums being developed so each resident would experience that mountain resort living they've dreamed of.

This is just the start for Tagaytay Highlands.

Mega Manila's Future Looks Bright with Vista Land

Tuesday, November 12, 2024



Still growing at an enormous pace and offering even more real estate for local and international clientele is Vista Land. Either living in it or for an investment, they've been sought after especially in the cities of San Jose del Monte in Bulacan, Caloocan City and Antipolo City. Much of these places are also investing in infrastructure that would benefit thousands of people daily, bringing property values higher in the long run. This is why people prefer Vista Land.

Aside from being the leading developer in the country, they're poised to develop even more land that connects to the recent government projects like th MRT7, LRT Line 1 extension, and the different highways that are being built as we speak. It'll be easier to move around a larger land area, it wouldn't be difficult to work in other places and live in the outskirts where future residential and commercial hubs will be built.

Things will improve over time and the connections will encourage more people to live in these cities, as more of these government projects become operational.

Over at San Jose del Monte, they've got Aspen, a total land area of 38 hectares that run around mountains and towns, bringing the look and feel of Colorado right in the heart of Bulacan. If you're a budding family who's planning to start your corner of the universe, you can enjoy this mountain themed place with features like a clubhouse, a pool, a playground, and plenty of outdoor space for your usual workout. In it is Aspen Residences which will be done with several towers, with more habitable areas and place to workout, encouraging you to have a healthier lifestyle within the actual estate.

Caloocan on the other hand will have North Commons, a modern mixed use premium real estate property which will have workspace, condominiums built, that will have the vibe of a resort inside the city. You need not leave the area to have modern conveniences because why not. You've got a place called CoLab which is a modern workspace designed for its namesake and increased productivity.

There's also The Suites in North Commons which are several mid rise towers made for residential use, meant to home young working class, and those who again would like to start a family. It features a place called Skyscapes that's got a view of the city, so you don't have to go out for wine night, because you can unwind and party while you're on top (see what I did there!).

In Antipolo, they've got Vidarte. It's a play on words Vida (life) and Arte (art). They're betting on the LRT Line 2 expansion and how it would be accessible, as easy as can be, but be a place of creativity and art! There will be actual artwork in between studios/2 bedroom units, surely that's going to be a hugely inspiring!

As much as this looks humongous, this is just the tip of the iceberg of what Vista Land has planned for the whole Mega Manila. It's quite unique, very premium and sustainably planned. There's lots of opportunities for growth, you may check it out via vistaland.com.ph or their social channels if you want to know more about it.

They have grown significantly over the years, with even bigger steps taken starting 2005 up to 2015. They managed to double their portfolio from 2016 to 2020 then launched 8 more memorial parks in 2021-2023.

They have strategically strengthened their collection services and increased earnings year on year. They also increased assets (20%) with plans to develop even more of it in the future, but make sure that it remains affordable despite economic challenges and inflation this year.

Alfred Xerez-Burgos III the President and CEO of Forest Lake Development Inc. says "We are lucky to have our core values intact to solidify our stature in this industry. Always putting personalized service, value, teamwork, continuous innovation, creativity and professionalism as part of our priorities, it made us who we are today."

Here's to even more years of service to Filipinos!

Huge Changes at Tagaytay Highlands: A Different Vision

Tuesday, July 30, 2024



Tagaytay Highlands hold a special part in my heart because of the multitude of things that I've done with family there over the years. Back then, it was quite exclusive, privately accessible, with the country's who's who owning a plot or two.

This has CHANGED over the decade, utilizing every morsel of real estate in the area means development of properties, and the magic of living in several townships this 2024. This time, they put value in transforming communities. With focus on modern community living, each residence are well planned, managed, brought to this decade by establishing mixed use properties without taking the charm and exclusivity of it.

Now it's got the Highlands, the Midlands, Midlands West, Greenlands and perhaps more soon. This place was built on a VISION, one that has been delicately designed before things move inside the estate. From usual country home residences, it now has integrated structures that can also be used for leisure, recreation, commercial use, while maintaining vibrant and sustainable in all areas.

This is one of the reasons why it's thriving, not letting new conveniences take away what's already good and existing in the property. Adding only the things that can harmoniously blend with the needs and wants of people living here. By far, it is still one of the most sought after properties in the country. It's paradise, especially for those who want to live in the high areas. It's like having a piece of a cold mountain elsewhere in the world, but living in a tropical country, and people you love.

The place still has open spaces, where a huge part gets dedicated for it. Parts of it also see the world famous Taal Lake/Volcano, while others are for the running mountains too. This spans around 1500 hectares, where you can also enjoy outdoor activities. There are tons of flora and fauna, plus see birds in a sanctuary. This is proof that it can be done, the combination of facilities you need, but with all the things you love with nature.  

This place is managed by Highlands Prime, Inc., a subsidiary of real estate giant SM Prime Holdings. It's just one of the ton of world class properties they do on a weekend (I kid). Heard they're also raring to do a few more projects in the pipeline like Highlands Residences, Trealva, Primrose Parks, Horizon Terraces Garden Villas Scottsdale, and more soon. If this looks appealing, take a bit of your time and message them at facebook.com/Tagaytayhighlands so you can stop dreaming, and start doing. Else, you may visit tagaytayhighlands.com and get the answers you need.

Saturday, June 01, 2024

You've been working so hard these past few years and want something tangible to call your own. If you are working in the Ortigas district or nearby areas, maybe The Spectrum is just for you. 

Much of the spaces here are made into offices and commercial spaces, and perhaps, living in it would be a huge advantage so you don't have to go out and drive hours just to work here. This place is by Vista Land and dubbed as the Best Mixed Use Development in the island according to Lamudi, the biggest real estate platform in the country.



From essentials like groceries, restaurants, coffee shops, convenience stores or government offices, living here would be ideal for the working class or for those starting a family. The convenience of being in the city is certainly what a lot of people look for. There's also shopping malls, some of the biggest ones to boot, plus a lot of hotels that could rival the best ones in the Philippines. It's also modernly designed, so you've got a lot of options in terms of putting up where you want your entertainment, dining or bedroom would go.

You could literally walk to schools, with nearby Lourdes, Poveda or University of Asia and the Pacific, your kids (or you) would be able to get those degrees captured in no time. Inside The Spectrum, you've got lots of amenities that you, your loved ones could use so you don't have to go out to be entertained. They've got pools, a well thought out gym, even a great lobby where you can lounge and just rest. The Spectrum could also be used as an investment, to even have it rented out if you're the business minded one. The cuts would be perfect for young professionals since there's 21-28 square meters, even 40-42 square meters for differently sized one bedroom units. All you need to do is ask!

An Advanced Way of Living with Amaia Home Solutions

Friday, March 01, 2024


There are homes, and then there's Amaia. We could say this statement is true over at their Scapes Bulacan Sector 3C property as they've continued to innovate how they live in the flourishing Ayala Land development.

This is quite groundbreaking to say the least as they introduce Home Solutions in this particular community. They designed these homes in order for it to be efficient, and utilize smart technology with its Centralized Controly System. This manages different home functions that we can use in our day to day lives like USB ports, external CCTV's, Smart lights, door locks, Smoke detectors so you don't have to worry about a few things inside your home.




This has been integrated inside the Single Home 60 model units at Amaia Scapes Bulacan at Sector 3C. This is also sustainable which makes eco friendly solutions a must in these homes. Like the roofs that reflect heat, a lighter colored exterior wall, windows that can natural air in so you don't get too hot in the afternoons and evenings.

Who wouldn't want to live in a neighborhood like that? With even more facilities for everyone to enjoy, it's going to be a little crazy if they don't get occupied in no time.

Make sure you ask them about the Amaia Home Solutions if you're looking for your next home!

Avida Land South Park District Unveils Interactive 3D Street Art

Monday, February 05, 2024


Visited this place a couple weeks ago and the good news is that they never stopped putting art in this 6.6 hectare property. This community is just so vibrant, quite promising and the developments are just amazing because just as soon as we saw murals in January, there's new 3D paintings unveiled this month.

Who knew that it was possible to see art in a residential area, together with nature too. The artwork was made by John Mark Saycon, Neil Defeo and Melanio Bulauitan III of Guhit Sudlungan, a group of visual artists who joined Avida's 3D Street Painting competition back in 2011. They got the help of co-artists Brian Defeo, Emil Aldrine Alarcon, Didier Marc Alarcon, Jefferson Malong and Jervin Ferrer to finish this new project this year.

Avida Land Marketing Head Ms. Tess Tatco says "I'm excited about these new attractions we have in the South Park District so people would see how talented our young local Filipino artists are. I hope people would come and see this in person and feel how much joy this brings. This says a lot about how we want to have the part city, part nature, pure south dream a reality in this location."  

If you want to see this new piece and other art installations in the property, just visit the Avida Towers Ardane Showroom and ask for it. Take lots of photos and make sure to show your friends and family. Might as well try to live in this district, because the south is definitely a livable area. A change of ambiance would be fun!

LEE MIN HO Celebrates SM65 with SMDC

Monday, October 16, 2023


The good guys from SMDC (SM Development Corporation) celebrated SM's 65th Year with the one and only Asian superstar Lee Min Ho. At the SMX Convention Center, patrons of SMDC, executives, guests and media were treated to an evening with the good looking guy through several interactive games, and SMDC property laden promotions throughout the show. They also showcased properties like Glam, Gold, Sands and Sail.

The event was also hosted by Sam Oh, so the conversation with Lee Min Ho was quite nice since she could translate fast and connect with Tagalog during the interview portion. Though trying to be formal, she was a tad fangirling with Lee Min Ho, she couldn't help it because he was just that good looking.

SMDC President Jose Mari Banzon went up the stage and welcomed everyone then said "To our investors, media partners and guests, good evening. We are celebrating something special, the 65th anniversary of SM and the birthday of Henry Sy Sr. We are thrilled to share to be the Developer of the Year this 2023. In our newest campaign step into luxury, we put in the forefront the premium designs, and our endorser Lee Min Ho. Let us build dreams, thank you and enjoy the evening!"

Lee Min Ho on the Up Close and Personal portion said "I am excited to be here, after we all survived the pandemic I can see you in person now. It's an honor for me to be part of this brand SMDC, they've been in the business for 65 years and that says a lot. Of course having a dream home means we work with people that are professionals, that's SMDC."



Here are snippets from the event last night. Thank you to SMDC for letting us cover Lee Min Ho's tour in Manila. It's super fun to see him enjoy the intimate evening with not just SMDC patrons, but his fans who have loved him for years. Good thing is he acknowledges that, and he knows the same people who supported him since he was promoting Boys Over Flowers back in the days are still the same ones in the event. Can't wait to see him in new projects which he teased a bit in the program. Be back in the Philippines soon LMH!

With BellaVita, You CAN Have Your Own Home

Friday, September 01, 2023


If you often hear RFO from real estate agents and brokers, that only means one thing... It means "Ready for Occupancy". It also means good news when you're looking for a house to live, because you don't have to wait for months/years before you can own one, because yes, BelaVita says it is possible!






With them, you can live in the home as long as you submit the requirements. This is totally different from pre-selling units that needs a long time in acquiring one and pay for it first before you can live in it.

Second, you can visit the place first before you buy it. It is a huge commitment after all and it is from your hard earned money. You can check and inspect it prior to you paying for the unit.

If you are renting, you don't have to pay for both places, it's easier when you get an RFO. It's very practical and wouldn't put you in a spot when your lease ends. The amenities in BellaVita can also be used on day 1, your friends and family will certainly enjoy it.

Best of all, they're giving you a huge discount of over PHP 10,500 in 4 gives, there's no reason not to have your own home with them. That's almost Php 53,600, which is really going to take a load off on payments, just make sure you pay three months after reservation and your PagIBIG loan requirements are complete so that when the downpayment and loan proceeds are there, you can immediately process the turnover and enjoy it! That's certainly exciting no?! 




So make sure to reserve that dream home for Php 3,000 and pay for the Php 2,167 monthly payments so PagIBIG loan follows after that. There are also BellaVita properties at Cabanatuan in Nueva Ecija, Porac in Pampanga, Lian and Lipa in Batangas, Capas in Tarlac, San Pablo and Pila in Laguna, and in Rosario if you want to live in Cavite. You may visit Facebook.com/BellaVitaLandCorp if you have more inquiries, because it's time to start that journey in owning that dream home!

The Villar Group's Bankathon 2023


It's been a really interesting year for real estate this year. Much of the city dwellers found refuge in suburban homes outside the metro while a lot of those who still braved the city choose to stay in different type of residences like condominium units which are easy to maintain and live in.

It's also secured, pretty near work and most of the time, have all the needed stores and amenities you need to not even leave the building. Much of these also are already urban planned communities so you get to also have access to religious centers, markets, schools and universities. If you're in the look for a place in Makati, Taguig, Manila, Mandaluyong or Quezon City, leading the industry is no other than Vista Residences, the official condo developer arm of Vista Land and Lifescapes Inc. Which reminds me, there was a Bankathon 2023 last August 16 and 17 at the Vista Shaw Mandaluyong - Function Hall. In it, home seekers got fast home loans and deals with properties from the Vista Land group.

It was participated by leading banks Banco De Oro, Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation, Unionbank, Security Bank, AllBank, Maybank, Chinabank Corporation and Bank of Commerce. This is a dream come true for those who wish to have their own home as they offered pre approved bank financing to come with it. They also streamlined the application process. All they need to do is to submit 2 valid ID's, birth or marriage cert, proof of billing in current residence, and proof of income. They prefer certificate of employment or current payslip to check what avenues you can do in order to obtain your own home.

It's been ages since we've covered something in the north, and this was well worth the trip because something big is about to happen at Fontana Leisure Parks. They just signed an MOU with Goldwin Holdings Corporation to develop and revamp the 302 hectare property.

Jesus Sarsagat the President of Goldwin Holdings Corporation, Michael Chul Kim the CEO of Goldwin Holdings Corporation, Mr. Shuiqing Wu the General Manager of Fontana and Ms. Vera Cheung, the owners representative from Fontana. Held at the Piano Bar, it was fun and festive to see guests from Manila, Korea and China raising their glasses just for this occasion. Folks from Fontana Leisure Parks welcomed us warmly despite the heavy rains that morning.

Here's some highlights of the event including their speech that day:


This became a reality because of their shared vision, and a promise of security from external issues that they may encounter in the coming years. They will be changing the whole look, renovate and re-design the Fontana Building complex so they could accommodate their clientele who are mostly VIP's. Aside from the aesthetics, they will also provide employment for hundreds of individuals who will be part of the property and its operations.



It's going to be a place of luxury, something that guests won't forget after their first visit. Goldwin Holdings CEO Michael Kim expressed his excitement about this partnership with Fontanta and thanked MGen. Jesus Sarsagat for their leadership, together with the men and women who made this amazing partnership possible.

This is just the start but it was well received by the business leaders, their employees and stakeholders. It holds a lot of promise, and I can't wait to see the new things that they plan to do with the property. Everyone raised their glasses and wished this partnership to flourish. You will see a different, more luxurious Fontana Leisure Park very soon!

This event was staged by Midnight Thinkers Productions, if you have events, launches, they can do it for you. You may get in touch with them via 0927- 898 54 50.

Asterra Condominium Rising in Promising Butuan

Wednesday, June 07, 2023


Butuan City for most have been a surprise in the Caraga region. It's classified as a 1st class and highly urbanized city in Agusan del Norte, nicely tucked in Mindanao. Progress has been happening and livable conclaves are rising, one of which is Asterra. Finding quality housing for families, those who need investments, or simple home buyers would certainly be in-love with this place, as it brings the promise of their other projects in other cities across the country.

 The location is going to be good, as it is right front and center. It's a place where economic gains have also been happening in the last few years. It is after all ranked 13th among most improved cities in the Philippines, and with good reason because it has experienced growth, has more cultural movements, and tons of history.  Seeing Asterra Butuan rise in this site would surely give a piece of modern living in one of the most promising place in Mindanao; especially for those who grew up there and have already called it home. From those starting a family, people who have done remarkably well in their profession, or those who are outside the country eager to find a home for themselves, their family or prefer to make it an investment. Just like condos in Manila, it can be rented out which is not a bad idea when increase in economic activity happens.

Aside from the usual residential fare, those who are also planning to  business would do good since it's in a good location. From food, clothing, entertainment, leisure, there's certainly a lot of possible commercial use you can do in the same area. If that happens, jobs could be generated and with the lovely warm people from Butuan, it could really flourish. Since you're in the center of it all, existing educational institutions, churches, markets, restaurants, and transportation can be easily accessed, life would be better.

Add to that the amenities that Asterra Butuan plans to include in the vicinity. You would probably have less reason to go out because everything will be there and more. This while keeping the price of it very reasonable because as their saying goes "affordable but quality" lives on in every home they create. It's a new era in Butuan and yes, Asterra will be part of that.

If this piqued your interest, go get info from them via asterra.com.ph or on AsterraOfficial on FB because it'll all be there!
