CAMELLA PRISTINA OPENS EXPANSION

The country’s most preferred home development brand, Camella, has mobilized a strategic expansion program that will further strengthen its leadership position in the real estate industry across the country in 2012, starting with the launch of Camella Pristina’s expansion in Imus, Cavite.

Company officials said this is a much awaited opening of new family homes, being just 15 minutes from the Manila South Coastal Road, and being offered for as low as P8,000 per month.

They noted that Camella, for almost four decades, has enhanced and bolstered the Filipino family life with its distinctive residential community developments, value-for-money home offerings, and an unparalleled investment opportunity for home ownership. It has continuously focused on building thriving communities that embody excellent quality of life with the best of Filipino family traditions, creating a ‘legacy of value’ for generations to come.

Camella Pristina located right along Aguinaldo Highway has lush greenery and calm surroundings reminiscent of a Spanish hacienda, with open spaces, a clubhouse, parks and playground, commercial area, family-oriented amenities and 24-hour security — ideally suited for discerning home owners. Camella Pristina, now open for reservations and property viewings, is expanding due to increased property demand for gated communities and affordable house and lot packages in the Cavite area, with more people appreciating the eco-conscious and modernized upgrades to Camella’s exclusive collection of Mediterranean-style single family homes and townhomes. Home models Marga, Rina, and Reana feature contemporary components and space-saving elements that allow convenient flows and efficient usage, with two bedrooms, a full bath, living room, dining and kitchen and service areas for all family members to enjoy.

Considered to be one of the most sought after townhome properties south of the Metro Manila area, Camella Pristina has access to various transportation hubs that can take you to and from the city with numerous options at all times of the day and may be reached within 30 minutes via Daang Hari Road that leads right to Aguinaldo Highway. It is only a 15-minute ride to Alabang and Las Piñas and about 30 minutes from Manila and Makati

Major commercial centers in Zapote, Bacoor, Las Piñas and Alabang are in close proximity and provide innumerable shopping and entertainment choices. Just a few minutes away are conveniences like the Alabang Town Centre, SM City Bacoor, SM Hypermart Imus, and SM Molino, with major medical centers such as St. Dominic Hospital, Imus Medical Center, Our Lady of the Pillar Hospital, and Imus Family Hospital. Nearby schools include St. John Fisher School, General Emilio Aguinaldo High School, Queen of Angels Learning Center, Our Lady of Pilar Seminary, Imus Institute, and Informatics.

DBP asks operators to invest in RORO, offers lease scheme

MANILA, Philippines — DBP Leasing Corporation (DLC), a subsidiary of state-owned Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP), is inviting qualified shipping operators and entrepreneurs to lease roll-on, roll-off (RORO) vessels and deploy them in 28 underutilized ports in the regions of CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, Bicol, and Western, Central, and Eastern Visayas.

The company’s route assessment studies show the 28 ports already have ramps and road infrastructure which make them ideal for immediate RORO operations at minimal capital expenditures.

DBP Leasing Corporation also identified 18 more ports that the company has yet to verify if there are existing road and other infrastructures required for missionary routes.

All the 46 RORO ports that were identified were built by the Philippine Ports Authority at a cost of between P40 and P50 million each.

Francisco F. del Rosario Jr., DLC chairman and president and chief executive officer of DBP, said they will buy brand-new locally-manufactured, or second-hand RORO vessels for lease to qualified operators as this will help promote countryside development.

“We want to further pursue the Road RORO Terminal System (RRTS) component of our Logistics Infrastructure Development Project (LIDP) to reduce transport costs from Mindanao to Luzon through the use of RORO vessels that will serve as floating bridges and provide continuity for transporting people and cargoes from one island to another.”

He added that they encourage the participation of the private sector, government-owned-and-controlled corporations, local government units, cooperatives and participating financial institutions to help address the need for adequate infrastructure facilities and efficient logistics for the movement of people and distribution of goods and services in the country.

Agustin Bengzon, DLC president and CEO, said they can customize lease arrangements based on an operator’s needs and capabilities and help the operators in assessing routes. “We want to complement DBP’s development financing activities by acquiring RORO vessels to cover RORO missionary routes, thereby bridging islands and building communities.”

The Maritime Industry Authority lists RORO missionary routes as those without RORO or regular shipping service or operators. Making RORO vessels available to ply these routes could spur inter-island commercial trade and make local tourist destinations more accessible.

The ports are located in Aroroy, Masbate and Pilar, Sorsogon; Cawayan, Masbate and Naval, Biliran; Sibunag, Guimaras and Pulupandan, Negros Occidental; Ubay, Bohol and Hilongos, Leyte; Naval, Biliran and Maripipi, Biliran; San Jose, Occidental Mindoro and Coron, Palawan; and Taytay, Palawan and Cuyo Island, Palawan.

Other ports are located in Danao City, Cebu and San Francisco, Camotes Island, Cebu; San Francisco, Camotes Island, Cebu and Isabel, Leyte; Pasacao, Camarines Sur and Masbate City; Masbate City and Bogo, Cebu; Batangas City and Puerto Galera, Mindoro; Real, Quezon and Pulilio Island, Quezon; and Magdiwang, Sibuyan Island and Romblon, Carmen

Majestic Legacy Plans five real estate projects for Cebu

Local Developer Majestic Legacy Development Corporation (MLDC) is going to introduce at least five residential and commercial projects in Cebu in the next five years.

With the introduction of its flagship project, P200 million worth LOT 8 condominiums located in Mabolo this City, the company is at the same time preparing to launch the first commercial seaside development on Camotes Island.

In an interview with MLDC president and chief executive officer (CEO) Mario Lua, he said that the company has several existing land bank that are up for development in the next few years, but it has to prioritize the completion of LOT 8 Condominium which offers a total of 231 middle to high end units.

MLDC has existing properties in Camotes, Talisay and Mactan. At present though, the company is also scouting for good properties within the province for more residential and commercial development projects.

The eight-hectare sea-side property located in the town of San Francisco, Camotes Island, will be the next big project the company will undertake, providing a way for the Camotes to grab its opportunity as the “new iconic” product of Cebu, earlier proclaimed by the Department of Tourism (DOT-7).

Lua said the company has a special arrangement with the Local Government Unit (LGU) is San Francisco in availing of the Special-Use Agreement on Protected Area (SAPA), in order to officially start the development.

At present, the Island is classified as non-alienable, which means that non-residents of the Island cannot put structures or business, to complement within the Island, as the company plans to open up commercial spaces for investors, such as restaurants, boutiques, accommodation facilities, and also residential-condo units.

According to Lua, there are a lot of opportunities the Island is offering, and that the company is committed to start off the development soon.

Lua, who also owns the Jomalia Shipping Lines, has started offering RoRo (Roll-On/Roll-Off) transport service from Cebu (Danao City) to the Island.

In fact, the company had invested in establishing a modern terminal to accommodate the growing passengers going to the Island.

With potential to become the next “Boracay” in Cebu, Lua said he has a lot of plans for the Island.
“In the past, nobody wants to go there because of transportation inaccessibility. Now, the number of visitors is growing,” Lua said.

Aside from the seaside property, the company also owns mountainside property on the island, of which future development is also being considered.

Camotes Island located northeast of Cebu, was chosen by the DoT in Central Visayas years back, as the “new iconic product” in the region as it boasts of a fresh water lake, white sand beaches, caves, among others.

Meanwhile, MLDC is still focusing attention to its flagship project, the LOT 8, which is scheduled to compete in the fourth quarter of 2012.

In October last year, the company started its pre-selling activities, and that about 50 percent of its units are reserved from both local and foreign buyers.
