Wazzup Pilipinas!

Your friendly neighborhood Pambansang Blogger ng Pilipinas was recently invited to attend the grand opening of another AllHome store located along Daang Hari Molino Bacoor, Cavite - the perfect location that guarantees convenience for the thriving residential areas of Las Piñas, Cavite, San Pedro and Muntinlupa. This new AllHome store is actually located within Vista Land's most ambitious real estate development - Vista City, 1,500-hectare masterplan that is envisioned to become the country’s premiere metropolis.

Vista City is home to a wide range of lifestyle and leisure areas: The Evia Lifestyle center, Fenbrook gardens, University town, IT parks, business districts, hotels as well as expanding residential areas such as Britanny’s Portofino, Crown Asia’s Ponticelli and Camella’s Cerritos. It’s the perfect place for every modern Filipino family.

The grand opening of currently the biggest AllHome store was led by no less than former Senator and business tycoon Manny Villar and her daughter Camille Villar, along with the other management team of AllHome, who all participated in the ribbon cutting ceremonies as well as the ceremonial toast during the short program held immediately after. A mass was also held earlier before the ribbon cutting and blessing, and the guests were treated to a sumptuous lunch after the program.
