Highland Living Finds a Forever Home at Camella Montierra in Bukidnon

Thursday, April 2, 2026

As Camella's nationwide footprint expands into regional cities and growth centers, Malaybalay emerges as a compelling destination for residential development. Situated in the highlands of Bukidnon, the city blends cultural heritage, economic vitality, and improved connectivity: an environment where families can build forever homes amid picturesque beauty and progressing opportunities.

For nearly five decades, Camella has established house-and-lot communities across the islands, creating residential developments that reflect the aspirations of families wherever they decide to reside. The introduction of Camella Montierra in Malaybalay City continues this legacy of value, bringing homes and well-planned neighborhoods to generations of Filipinos.

Grounded in history, growing in horizons

Located 91 kilometers south of Cagayan de Oro, Malaybalay functions as the provincial capital of Bukidnon, supplying produce to markets across Mindanao, contributing to Bukidnon's reputation as one of the country's agribusiness districts.

Over 820 kilometers of road networks in Mindanao support the growth of Malaybalay, with Sayre Highway as the main thoroughfare that bisects the city and links it to Cagayan de Oro in the north and Davao to the south. It forms part of National Route 10, which facilitates the movement of goods, services, and people across the regions.

Yet the identity of Malaybalay remains rooted in communal living. Indigenous customs and cultural festivities like the Kaamulan Festival shape the rhythm of everyday living. Residential developments serve as venues where relatives connect and the success of multigenerational households is shared over time.

A life of balance in Bukidnon’s capital

Camella Montierra, a development harmonizes with the Highland Paradise of Mindanao. Derived from the words monte, meaning mountain, and tierra, signifying land, Montierra evokes a place where elevated terrain and fertile plains meet: the perfect description of the topography in Bukidnon and the residential development now taking shape.

Camella Montierra showcases Spanish-Mediterranean homes, characterized by earth tones, tiled roofs, and sunset facades, creating a standout streetscape that feels welcoming. The gated community has monitored entry points, perimeter fencing, and round-the-clock security, ensuring that access to Camella Montierra remains in order.

A clubhouse anchors the community, serving as a shared space where residents strengthen a sense of belonging. Tree-lined streets, open areas, and pocket gardens encourage residents to experience a neighborhood where nature and nurture coexist. Jogging trails are ideal for morning runs or evening strolls. Such lifestyle amenities transform every day into opportunities for health and reflection, reinforcing that a home environment should hone both body and mind.

The height of home life

Camella Montierra’s house models are planned with Filipino families in mind, reflecting the multigenerational living that continues to inform households nationwide.

The living and dining areas are designed for flexibility, whether hosting relatives during the holidays or finding time with friends, these spaces adapt to their residents’ needs. Kitchen layouts include provision for auxiliary preparation and cooking areas, recognizing the collaborative nature of meal experiences.

Outdoor features further expand the livable space of homes. Balconies and patios invite families to enjoy the cool Bukidnon air, while pocket gardens introduce greenery into multigenerational living. Two-vehicle carports address practical mobility needs, ensuring convenience for families.

A home that grows with generations

For Filipinos, owning a home represents more than buying property; it marks the beginning of a future founded on stability and security. Camella Montierra presents this possibility in Malaybalay, offering a community poised to grow alongside Bukidnon's progress.

The development continues Camella's commitment to expanding its nationwide footprint across regional cities and growth corridors in Mindanao. Within Camella Montierra, forever homes become foundations where families can find common ground across generations. As they gain a tangible asset, they grow within a city whose potential continues to shape a promising future for Bukidnon.

The Philippines’ largest homebuilder

Camella is the flagship housing brand of Vista Land, the Philippines’ leading integrated property developer, providing 1,250 communities across 49 provinces and 147 key cities and municipalities.

Recognized as the most trusted and preferred homebuilder in the country, Camella has built over 600,000 iconic Spanish-Mediterranean homes that place family and community life at the center, creating a legacy of value for generations of Filipinos.

Vista Manors Expands Resort Living with Vertical Villages Across the Islands

Vista Manors Expands Resort Living with Vertical Villages Across the Islands

Friday, March 20, 2026

The Philippine real estate market is entering a new phase of expansion as decentralized economic growth, infrastructure investment, and demographic shifts reshape where people choose to live. While Metro Manila remains the core of the condominium sector, the rise of regional cities and growth corridors has created new prospects for vertical living beyond the capital.

Cities and corridors nationwide are evolving into dynamic centers supported by activity, connectivity, and diversification. As these regions mature, housing demand is no longer limited to traditional residential developments; instead, a growing segment of buyers—Overseas Filipinos, professionals, and investors—are seeking real estate solutions that combine location, lifestyle amenities, and long-term investment value.

Responding to this transformation, Vista Manors introduces a vision to bring vibrancy to vertical living: condominium properties developed as vertical villages that bring resort living to regional cities and growth corridors in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

The rise of the regional condominium market

The national industry continues to benefit from strong macroeconomic fundamentals: sustained remittance inflows, ongoing urbanization, and a growing middle-income segment are supporting real estate solutions across key regions. Expressways, airports, and logistics networks are strengthening the movement of people, goods, and services between metropolitan centers and modernizing provinces.

These developments are guiding the geography of housing demand: locations beyond Metro Manila are experiencing economic growth driven by tourism, trade, education, and enterprise. As opportunities expand, investors increasingly decide to reside near regional cities rather than relocate to the capital.

Resort living as a contemporary lifestyle

Vista Manors believes that condominium properties should go beyond convenience and anticipate an atmosphere of calm and character associated with resort destinations.

Resort living emphasizes open-air spaces, wellness-oriented amenities, and communal environments. Swimming pools, leisure decks, landscaped gardens, fitness facilities, and social spaces are integrated into the condominiums, creating vertical villages where residents can relax and recharge within their own living spaces.

Reflecting a broader shift in how Overseas Filipinos, professionals, and investors view real estate, residential developments are increasingly expected to support personal well-being and productivity. As lifestyles evolve and work patterns become more flexible, the home is no longer simply a place of rest but also of recreation and relationships.

Condominium properties as investment prospects

Vertical villages in regional cities and growth corridors are emerging as compelling investments within the Philippine real estate market. This housing demand translates into opportunities for rental income as condominiums often maintain strong occupancy levels, particularly in locations where housing supply remains limited.

Regional residential developments offer more competitive prices than condominium properties in Metro Manila, allowing investors to participate in real estate markets earlier in their cycles. As infrastructure improves connectivity and demographic movement expands, investment values have the potential to appreciate over time.

A nationwide network of vertical villages

Vista Manors reflects this economic growth through a nationwide portfolio of condominiums. In the Ilocos Region, Bramasole Residences in Laoag, Ilocos Norte, and Querencia Towers in Bantay, Ilocos Sur, introduce vertical villages in historic destinations. In Central Luzon, Amistelle in San Fernando, Pampanga; Castellana Towers in Baliwag; Silaya Residences in Bulakan; the Monte Carlo Tower in Malolos; and Aspen Residences in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, support housing demand in some of the country's fastest-growing provinces.

Vertical villages continue across CALABARZON, with Vidarte Residences in Antipolo City, Rizal; Milano in Bacoor; Praverde Residences in Dasmariñas; and The Sonnet in Tanza, Cavite, serving urbanizing regions surrounding Metro Manila. The Upstate in Bay, Laguna, and Solasta Residences in Lipa, Batangas, respond to housing demand in university towns. The nationwide footprint in Luzon also includes Santerra Residences in Naga, Camarines Sur, and Verdant in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, extending condominiums to cities recognized for their regional influence.

In the Visayas, Olvera Residences in Bacolod and Augusta Residences in Iloilo support populations in Western Visayas where tourism, trade, and education continue to develop. Valencia Residences on Mactan Island, Cebu, benefits from proximity to one of the most active aviation gateways in the country, while Vernazza in Palo, Leyte, contributes to Eastern Visayas, a regional center for commerce and governance.

Across Mindanao, Eldora Residences and Soleia in Butuan, Agusan del Norte, extend the housing demand in the Caraga Administrative Region. In North Mindanao, Amala in Ozamiz, Misamis Occidental, and Midtown Towers in Cagayan de Oro, respond to logistics activities. Vista Manors also maintains a presence in Davao Region through Frontera and Sandera Residences in Davao City, while Altafina Residences in General Santos City serves the key centers of investment and industry in SOCCSKSARGEN.

Vista Manors elevates resort living through resort-inspired vertical villages nationwide. With a growing portfolio of condominiums in key locations across the country, it offers pine-covered landscapes that bring the ease of vacation into everyday life.

CentralHub Davao Breaks Ground: Mindanao’s First Industrial Warehouse Hub Begins Construction

CentralHub Davao Breaks Ground: Mindanao’s First Industrial Warehouse Hub Begins Construction

Sunday, March 15, 2026

A Major Logistics Development Rises in Davao City

Mindanao’s logistics and distribution landscape is set for a major boost as Alsons Development and Investment Corporation and DoubleDragon Properties Corporation officially broke ground on CentralHub Davao, the first industrial warehouse complex under the CentralHub brand in Mindanao.

The groundbreaking ceremony held on March 5, 2026 in Barangay Lasang, Davao City, signals the start of construction for the 6.2-hectare industrial facility designed to strengthen logistics infrastructure in the region.

The project is being developed through CentralHub Industrial Centers Inc., the industrial leasing subsidiary of DoubleDragon Properties Corporation.

A Modern Industrial Hub for Mindanao

Once completed, CentralHub Davao will offer approximately 40,392 square meters of leasable space, designed to support a wide range of industrial and commercial operations.

The facility will accommodate:

• Warehousing operations
• Cold storage facilities
• Commissaries and food production spaces
• Light manufacturing
• Distribution and logistics services

The project aims to provide modern, scalable facilities for companies expanding their presence in Mindanao’s fast-growing economy.

Strategic Location for Logistics Efficiency

One of the project’s biggest advantages is its strategic location along the Pan-Philippine Highway near the Lasang Public Market.

This prime positioning gives businesses direct access to key logistics gateways in the region, including:

• Sasa Port
• Davao International Container Terminal Inc.
• Francisco Bangoy International Airport

With these connections, companies operating within the complex can move goods more efficiently across Mindanao and beyond.

Strengthening Economic Growth in Mindanao

For Alsons Development and Investment Corporation, the project represents a strategic step toward supporting the region’s economic growth.

During the groundbreaking event, Miguel A. Dominguez, President and CEO of Alsons Dev, emphasized that the development reflects the shared commitment between the company and DoubleDragon Properties Corporation to deliver infrastructure that strengthens business operations and investment opportunities in Mindanao.

The partnership between the two companies is not new. They previously collaborated on CityMall Northtown, located within Alsons Dev’s Northtown Township in Cabantian, Davao City.

A ₱1.2 Billion Investment in Mindanao’s Logistics Sector

CentralHub Davao represents an estimated ₱1.2 billion investment, reflecting growing demand for modern industrial spaces across the region.

Local officials believe the project will create employment opportunities, improve supply chain efficiency, and attract more investments to the city.

During the ceremony, Rodrigo S. Duterte II, Vice Mayor of Davao City, highlighted the development’s potential to support businesses while strengthening the city’s role as a key economic center in Mindanao.

Supporting Business and Community Growth

Beyond providing logistics infrastructure, CentralHub Davao reflects the broader vision of Alsons Development and Investment Corporation to support sustainable development across Mindanao.

By creating modern facilities that help businesses operate more efficiently, the project contributes to building stronger communities and expanding economic opportunities in the region.

As construction progresses, CentralHub Davao is expected to become a vital logistics hub that supports the continued growth of manufacturing, exports, and distribution industries throughout Mindanao.

Tanza Cavite Growth: How This Coastal Town Is Becoming a Rising Residential Hub

Tanza Cavite Growth: How This Coastal Town Is Becoming a Rising Residential Hub

Why More Families Are Discovering Tanza, Cavite

Over the past few years, the quiet coastal municipality of Tanza in Cavite has begun transforming into one of the province’s most promising places to live. Once known mainly for fishing communities and agricultural activity, the town is now attracting families and homebuyers who want a balance between accessibility and a more relaxed lifestyle outside the busy capital.

This steady transformation is being driven by improved infrastructure, stronger connectivity to Metro Manila, and residential developments that were established early on to support the town’s growth. Among these communities is Micara Estates, developed by Property Company of Friends, Inc., which recognized Tanza’s potential long before the area gained wider attention.

From Coastal Municipality to Emerging Growth Center

For decades, Tanza was largely associated with coastal livelihoods such as fishing and farming. Over time, however, Cavite’s expanding development began reaching the town, gradually opening new economic opportunities.

Today, Tanza continues to evolve while maintaining the strong sense of community that residents value. Positioned along Manila Bay in northwestern Cavite, the municipality benefits from proximity to major economic centers while still offering a calmer environment compared to Metro Manila.

As new residential neighborhoods and businesses emerge, families in the area are increasingly engaged in sectors like manufacturing, logistics, retail, and services. This gradual diversification has allowed the town to grow without losing its familiar, community-centered atmosphere.

Improved Roads and Infrastructure Boost Accessibility

A key factor behind Tanza’s rising appeal is improved connectivity to Metro Manila and nearby cities. Major infrastructure projects and highways have made commuting and travel significantly easier for residents.

Routes such as the Manila–Cavite Expressway, Cavite–Laguna Expressway, C-5 Link Expressway, and NAIA Expressway help connect Cavite to business districts and commercial centers across the metro.

Public transportation has also become more convenient thanks to access to the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange and the nearby LRT Line 1, which offer commuters additional mobility options.

Within Cavite, roads such as the Tanza–Trece Road provide direct access to Trece Martires City and surrounding municipalities. Meanwhile, Antero Soriano Highway remains a key local route that supports daily transportation needs.

Looking ahead, the proposed Cavite–Bataan Bridge is expected to further strengthen regional connectivity and expand economic opportunities for residents.

Everyday Essentials Now Within Reach

Alongside improved accessibility, the growth of commercial establishments and industrial zones has created new job opportunities within the municipality.

As businesses expand across Tanza, more residents are finding employment closer to home in sectors such as manufacturing, services, and retail. This shift allows families to enjoy shorter commutes and a more manageable daily routine.

Access to essential services has also improved. Shopping centers like SM City Tanza and nearby retail areas in General Trias provide convenient access to groceries, dining options, and everyday necessities.

In addition, schools, healthcare facilities, churches, and public markets are easily accessible, making it possible for residents to meet most of their daily needs without leaving the area.

Micara Estates: A Community That Grew With the Town

Long before Tanza began gaining attention as an emerging residential hub, Property Company of Friends, Inc. introduced Micara Estates in 2014. The development was designed to support families who wanted a stable and community-oriented place to call home.

Located along Antero Soriano Highway in Barangay Sahud-Ulan, the residential community offers convenient access to transportation routes, workplaces, and essential services.

Over the years, the neighborhood has grown alongside the municipality, creating a supportive environment where residents can build lasting connections.

Building Community Beyond Housing

Micara Estates focuses not only on providing homes but also on nurturing a sense of belonging among residents. Community programs such as GalingMicara, organized by volunteer homeowners including many youth leaders, encourage participation through activities focused on:

• Sports and wellness
• Learning and skills development
• Livelihood initiatives
• Environmental awareness

These initiatives help strengthen relationships within the community while encouraging families to take an active role in shaping their shared environment.

According to Nieves Santos, Business Unit Head of Property Company of Friends, Inc., the company remains committed to supporting Tanza’s long-term progress.

She explained that the town’s growth reflects a combination of infrastructure development, expanding opportunities, and residents who have chosen to build their lives there. Profriends aims to contribute to that progress by creating communities that allow people to feel connected and settled as the municipality continues to evolve.

A Town Moving Forward at Its Own Pace

The transformation of Tanza shows how thoughtful development, improved infrastructure, and strong communities can work together to shape a town’s future.

For families seeking a place that balances accessibility with a more relaxed pace of life, Tanza is increasingly becoming an attractive option. With developments like Micara Estates supporting the town’s growth, the municipality continues to emerge as one of Cavite’s rising residential hubs.

If you’re exploring new places to settle or invest in Cavite, Tanza may be worth considering as it continues to grow into a thriving and connected community.

The location supports functional mobility, contributing to both end-user practicality and investor confidence.

The high-rise development addresses the requirements of location-sensitive buyers and investors seeking accessibility to academic institutions, transport hubs, retail establishments, and lifestyle centers.

Through Vantage Point, Hawthorne Heights condominium properties were formally endorsed with complete documentation and established protocols. Owners and investors were briefed on occupancy requirements, building policies, and operational guidelines designed to safeguard property value and uphold high-rise development standards. The active participation of the Property Management Office furthered the commitment of Vista Residences to post-turnover support, covering administration, maintenance coordination, and community governance.

Vantage Point also highlights the established development cycle, encompassing site selection, planning, construction, delivery, and integration with property management. The event concluded with a refresher course for employees and business partners held at the Hawthorne Heights function hall. The celebration emphasized the collaborative efforts behind the successful delivery of Vista Land residential developments and renewed the commitment of those present to serving future homeowners with integrity and innovation.

Vista Land Advances Multi-Market Residential Expansion as the Leading Integrated Property Developer in 2025

Vista Land Advances Multi-Market Residential Expansion as the Leading Integrated Property Developer in 2025

Monday, January 12, 2026

Vista Land sustained broad-based growth across its residential portfolio, solidifying its standing as a premier real estate development conglomerate. Its expansion in 2025 was underpinned by diversified development and a calibrated regional response to shifting housing demand, particularly the continued decentralization of economic activity and the rise of provincial centers.

Rather than concentrating volume-driven growth in a single segment, it pursued parallel developments across integrated estates, house-and-lot, and condominium properties. This multi-market strategy enabled Vista Land to effectively balance its market exposure while scaling its footprint nationwide.

Master planned developments

Vista Estates continued to serve as anchors across growth centers, combining residential, commercial, and institutional uses. In Central Luzon, Cascaia in San Fernando, Pampanga, stands to benefit from the expanding industrial base and improving connectivity. In Mindanao, integrated features within Andaluz in Zamboanga City reinforced Vista Land's viability in the southern region.

Multigenerational house-and-lot communities

Crown Asia and Camella remained core contributors for Vista Land, responding to homebuyer and investor demand for landed housing across suburban and provincial markets.

Marking its 30th anniversary, Crown Asia reinforced its presence across strategic locations from Luzon to Mindanao, including Chateau Nissa in Malolos, Pontello in Villar City; Siena, Trieste, and Vietri in Bacoor City; Fiore in Dasmariñas City, Lambertine in Tagaytay, and Verdalia in Santo Tomas, Batangas. Harland Place in Iloilo and Altaria in General Santos City underscore continued appetite beyond Luzon and their positioning in upscale markets nationwide.

Camella rolled out residential developments nationwide, targeting locations with advancing infrastructure, growing populations, and strong investment fundamentals. In North Luzon, Camella introduced Belfelice in Vigan, Camella Solano in Nueva Vizcaya, and Arezzo and Sonvielle in Urdaneta. In Central Luzon, Lucelia and Soleado in Tarlac, and Amandea in Capas, while Granvida in Baliwag, and Belterre and Solenea in Santa Maria, aligned with urban spillover from Metro Manila.

In CALABARZON, Camella launched Tudor Square and Altamira in Tanza and Silang, and Azurri and Galini in San Juan and San Pascual, Batangas, while Monteia in Tayabas extended its reach in South Luzon. Camella gained momentum with Orilla in Dumaguete City, Montevia in Cebu City, Cebu, Aurentia in Butuan, and Courtyard in Pagadian City.

Mixed-use condominiums

Vista Land strengthened its strategy by developing high-rise properties that respond to evolving lifestyles. It introduced Kinsan Heights in Metro Manila, near educational institutions and transportation networks. In contrast, Novus Prime Residences was positioned as a next-generation address for upwardly mobile professionals and investors who value exquisite living.

Market engagement

Initiatives that strengthened market visibility were also delivered. The Sandiwa Sales Conference aligned performance benchmarks and strategic priorities, while Lifescapes Expo 2025 consolidated Vista Land offerings into a single showcase for domestic and international homebuyers. Home for the Holidays emphasized transaction flexibility for Overseas Filipinos. These were complemented by Switching Off for a Sustainable Future, a campaign underscoring environmental stewardship; extended residential formats under ShoppeScapes; commercial land and leasing offerings through Vista Land Commercial Assets; and the continued rollout of VLink, Vista Land’s recruitment and accreditation platform.

Awards and recognitions

Vista Land received recognitions from the 15th Asian Excellence Awards, The Business Pinnacle Awards 2025, International Business Magazine Awards 2025, and World Business Outlook Annual Awards 2025, affirming its standing as a leading real estate organization in the region.

Honors from the Global 100 2026 ranking, the Global Good Governance Awards 2025, the Golden Arrow Awards 2025, the Manila Times Sustainability Awards, and The European Global Business Sustainable and ESG Awards 2025 validated its governance and sustainability credentials.

Vista Estates earned recognition from PropertyGuru Philippines as a Highly Commended Township Development for Georgia, and from the DOT Property Philippines Awards as Best Township Development for Verida. The DOT Property Southeast Asia Awards hailed Camella as Best Mid-Range Housing Developer, with Vista Residences receiving distinction as Best New Launch Condominium Development for Crosswalk Tower.

Vista Land remains positioned for steady growth, supported by a nationwide footprint, diversified residential developments, and a disciplined approach to expansion. With housing demand continuing to evolve alongside regional economic growth, the company is poised to translate market momentum into stable value across its master planned developments, multigenerational house-and-lot communities, and mixed-use condominium properties.

Township Living Made Easy: How Lancaster New City Builds a Future-Ready Community for Filipino Families

In today’s fast-paced world, many Filipino families dream of living closer to what truly matters — home, family, and community. Long commutes and hectic schedules often steal precious hours that could be spent together. This is where township living steps in, offering a lifestyle where comfort, convenience, and connection meet.

One standout example is Lancaster New City in Cavite — a pioneering township by Property Company of Friends, Inc. (Profriends) that redefines modern Filipino living. More than a neighborhood, it’s a thriving community built to grow with your family and designed to adapt to the needs of tomorrow.

Building Homes, Nurturing Communities

From the very beginning, Lancaster New City was envisioned as more than a housing project — it’s a master-planned township that brings together residential spaces, schools, leisure hubs, and places of worship into one harmonious ecosystem.

“At Profriends, we build houses, and we create communities with care,” shared Shannon King, Business Unit Head of Profriends. “Lancaster New City is a reflection of this vision — a community where families thrive together and where Cavite’s growth continues to create new opportunities for its residents.”

This approach not only enhances everyday living but also contributes to Cavite’s economic and social progress, attracting investors, entrepreneurs, and families seeking stability and belonging.

Everything You Need, Within Reach

One of the biggest perks of township living is convenience. At Lancaster New City, everything from schools and churches to shopping centers and recreational areas is just a few minutes away.

No need to brave traffic or spend hours commuting — daily errands, education, and leisure are all part of the community. This design fosters balance, allowing residents to enjoy a comfortable, self-sustaining lifestyle where everything they need is nearby.

Safe, Organized, and Family-Centered

Safety and structure are key pillars of township life. Lancaster New City ensures families enjoy secure environments where children can play and study freely while parents find peace of mind.

The township’s layout encourages connection and stability — neighbors become friends, and families grow together in a shared, supportive environment. Beyond its borders, residents also have access to nearby schools and churches, enriching both spiritual and community life.

More Time for What Matters Most

Township living means reclaiming time. By cutting down on long commutes, residents gain more moments for rest, recreation, and relationships.

At Lancaster New City, weekends become meaningful — from family strolls to community events, the township creates spaces for togetherness that bring residents closer without the need to leave home.

Opportunities Close to Home

Township living doesn’t just make life convenient — it also creates opportunities. Lancaster New City’s integrated spaces support local businesses, BPO offices, and entrepreneurs through initiatives like the Buyanigosyantes program, which helps small business owners flourish within the community.

This accessibility promotes economic growth while allowing families to work and live within the same area — the best of both worlds.

Connected to Metro Manila and Beyond

Accessibility remains a major advantage for Lancaster New City residents. Located near key infrastructure like CAVITEX, NAIAX, SLEX, MCX-Daang Hari, and the upcoming CALAX, the township provides convenient access to Metro Manila and nearby provinces.

Public transport is also evolving, with the LRT-1 extension linking to PITX and direct Lancaster bus routes available. The future Cavite Bus Rapid Transit will make commuting even smoother, strengthening the township’s connectivity.

Built for the Future

Since its launch in 2007, Lancaster New City has evolved alongside its residents. As more families joined the community, new establishments naturally followed — from schools and retail stores to parks and lifestyle spaces.

This organic growth not only increases property value but also ensures that homeowners’ investments continue to appreciate over time. The township’s enduring development has transformed it into a model of sustainable, future-ready living in the South.

Experience Township Living Firsthand

In today’s world, a true home extends beyond walls — it’s about belonging to a community that grows with you. Lancaster New City offers families a space where connections are nurtured, and dreams take root.

From Kapitbahays to Kapitbuhays: How Profriends Builds Sustainable Filipino Communities

From Kapitbahays to Kapitbuhays: How Profriends Builds Sustainable Filipino Communities

Wednesday, September 24, 2025

What makes a house feel like home? For many Filipinos, it’s more than four sturdy walls and a roof overhead. A true home is one that stands within a community—where neighbors aren’t just kapitbahays but become kapitbuhays, people who grow and support one another like family.

This is the heart of Property Company of Friends, Inc. (Profriends), a property developer that goes beyond constructing homes. Profriends envisions communities that uplift Filipino families through thoughtful design, essential amenities, and programs that encourage connection and growth.

Building Homes That Last

A thriving community begins with homes built for the long run. Profriends ensures each house provides not only safety and comfort but also lasting value, so families can focus on building futures filled with confidence and stability.

Nurturing Learning and Faith

Education and faith are cornerstones of Filipino family life. That’s why Profriends communities are designed with access to schools and places of worship within or nearby. Whether it’s reducing long commutes for students or providing spaces for spiritual growth, these elements make everyday living more meaningful.

Creating Spaces for Work and Play

Communities thrive when families have both opportunities to earn and spaces to relax. Profriends strategically situates its developments near business districts and leisure areas, ensuring residents can access jobs, commerce, and recreation without straying far from home.

Making Everyday Essentials Accessible

From groceries to healthcare, the basics of daily living should never be out of reach. Profriends communities naturally develop ecosystems where service hubs, shops, and clinics grow alongside neighborhoods—bringing convenience right to residents’ doorsteps.

Laying the Groundwork for Progress

Developments such as Lancaster New City in Cavite and Parc Regency Residences in Iloilo show how Profriends transforms once-quiet areas into bustling, connected communities. As more families move in, infrastructure like transport, utilities, and roads expand—creating a ripple effect of growth.

Strengthening Community Life

More than just physical spaces, Profriends invests in programs that empower residents. Initiatives like GalingPinas, a volunteer movement led by homeowners, and Buyanigosyantes, which supports local entrepreneurs, show how communities flourish when neighbors take an active role in shaping their environment. Sports, health, livelihood, and family-centered activities foster deeper bonds and shared responsibility.

Where Families Can Truly Flourish

From Cavite to Iloilo, Profriends’ communities—including Westwind, Micara Estates, Minami Residences, Monticello Villas, and Monticello Intimo—embody this vision of sustainable living. By integrating quality housing, essential services, and people-centered programs, Profriends helps Filipino families not just live, but thrive, for generations to come.

Bamboo Cement Homes: How BASE Is Building Typhoon-Ready Communities in the Philippines

Bamboo Cement Homes: How BASE Is Building Typhoon-Ready Communities in the Philippines

Tuesday, August 12, 2025

Safe Shelter in a Land of Typhoons

In a country where an average of 20 typhoons barrel through every year, a “home” is more than just four walls and a roof. For many Filipinos, it’s a lifeline—a place that must withstand nature’s strongest blows. In Iloilo City, that lifeline has been made stronger with the help of Base Bahay Foundation’s Cement-Bamboo Frame Technology (CBFT)—a building innovation that combines affordability, sustainability, and unmatched resilience.

Since 2015, the Balay Kawayan Housing Community in San Isidro, Jaro has stood as living proof of this technology’s power. Built in partnership with the Homeless People’s Federation Philippines, Hilti Foundation, and the Iloilo City Government, these bamboo-and-cement homes have kept 47 families safe through countless storms.

Building Stronger Futures, One Home at a Time

Across the country, BASE has already built over 2,000 CBFT homes, giving more than 10,000 Filipinos not just shelter—but peace of mind.

For community worker Helen Villarin, her CBFT home has been a source of comfort during the most uncertain times.

“We’ve lived here since 2019 and I feel safe, especially during storms,” Helen shares. “Our house doesn’t shake no matter how strong the winds are.”

Another resident, Richard Gerafusco, who lost his home to a fire, found both security and beauty in his new bamboo home:

“It’s beautiful and very safe—a true home.”

Why Bamboo-Cement Homes Make Sense for the Philippines

The Philippines ranked #1 in the World Risk Index 2022—a reminder of how vulnerable our country is to climate change and natural disasters. With 60% of homes informally built, low-income families often have to rebuild after every disaster.

BASE’s CBFT offers a game-changing solution:

• Made from bamboo, a renewable local resource
• Built to code, meeting maximum windspeed and earthquake magnitude standards under the National Structural Code of the Philippines
• Fast to construct—homes can be completed in as little as six weeks
• Affordable and sustainable for both public and private housing projects

As BASE General Manager Engr. Luis Felipe Lopez explains, “With CBFT, we are redefining resiliency. It’s about building smarter and for the future.”

More Than Homes: Strengthening Livelihoods

Beyond construction, BASE is investing in livelihood programs for farmers, builders, and craftsmen. With nine bamboo supply and treatment facilities and the Bamboo Academy Program, they’re training the next generation of architects, engineers, and skilled workers.

On a larger scale, BASE is working with the Association of Structural Engineers of the Philippines (ASEP) to integrate bamboo into the country’s official building code—a move that could change how sustainable housing is built nationwide.

A Global Impact with Filipino Roots

Founded in 2014 by the Hilti Foundation, BASE has already helped save 35,000 tons of CO₂. The organization’s efforts also extend beyond the Philippines, helping other countries develop their own bamboo construction guidelines.

As BASE celebrates its 11th year, the mission is clear: resilience isn’t just surviving the storm—it’s building a future where communities stand stronger, together.

If more communities embrace technologies like CBFT, we can create homes that are safe, sustainable, and proudly Filipino—turning every typhoon season into a test we’re prepared to pass.

Vista Land Celebrates Condominium Completion with Property Turnovers at Hawthorne Heights and Scala

Vista Land Celebrates Condominium Completion with Property Turnovers at Hawthorne Heights and Scala

Saturday, July 26, 2025

Vista Land, the Philippines' leading integrated property developer, recently marked a significant milestone for two of its high-rise developments with the condominium turnover of Hawthorne Heights along Katipunan Avenue in Quezon City and Diana by Scala, an award-winning prime Vista Estates development in Taguig City.

Hawthorne Heights represents the 100th high-rise development in the extensive portfolio of Vista Land.

The event was designed to ensure new homeowners experience not just the joy of moving in, but also the confidence of knowing that every aspect of the handover is fully supported by the deep understanding and expertise of the Philippine real estate market leader. The program features presentations from AllHome, a one-stop shop for construction and home improvement needs, providing sensible yet stylish furnishing solutions to help homeowners transform their living spaces into their personalized sanctuaries.

Livwell, the leasing arm of Vista Land, was also present at the occasion, offering options to homeowners and investors who wish to maximize their properties through rental opportunities. To further assist new residents, comprehensive briefings were conducted by the Turnover Group and the Property Management Office. These sessions detailed essential move-in guidelines, condominium policies, and maintenance services to ensure a streamlined transition.

The ceremonial signing of turnover documents and the presentation of the turnover kit are meaningful symbols of trust and recognition between Vista Land and the new residents, who receive not only access to a condominium property but also entry into vertical communities that support comfort, convenience, and connectivity. The occasion culminated in a photo opportunity with the residents, capturing smiles of pride and excitement that marked the beginning of their homeownership journey.

Excellence and innovation in condominium properties

With a diverse portfolio ranging from opulent hideaways to value-for-money homes, Vista Land anticipates the diverse needs of local and international real estate markets. Its high-rise developments, in particular, are strategically located near central business districts, transportation hubs, and educational institutions, making them attractive for homebuyers and investors.

The continued trust in Vista Land is founded on its reputation for reliability, growth potential, and ability to offer condominium properties in premium locations. These high-rise developments ensure convenience for residents, granting easy access to state-of-the-art amenities and round-the-clock security features while providing substantial investment returns through capital appreciation and rental income.

Urban living through vertical communities

With rapid population growth and the expansion of commercial and business districts, the need for space-efficient, well-connected housing solutions has become increasingly crucial in the capital region. Vista Land recognizes this shift and has adapted its strategy to meet the evolving needs of urban dwellers by highlighting condominium living as a key component of its operations.

By focusing on high-rise developments, Vista Land is responding to the limited land availability in Metro Manila and creating condominium properties that offer residents comfort and connectivity. Carefully crafted to provide secure environments and the practical needs of city life, the company creates spaces where residents can enjoy a fulfilling lifestyle while contributing to the progress of Metro Manila.

Vertical residences for the Filipinos of today

Vista Land believes that no one deserves fine residences in the best locations in the country more than Filipinos and their families. With a keen knowledge of their hopes, aspirations, and preferences, the Philippines' leading integrated property developer is building high-rise developments that provide the amenities and services that uphold Filipino sensibilities. The vertical communities also offer investment opportunities, as real estate often appreciates in value or leased to generate passive income.
