Vista Land Site Appreciation Tour: Valenza

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Last May 19, 2015 we got invited to join a tour of a community that's just a quick zip from Manila and meant for higher middle-income individuals who are looking for grand and elegant subdivisions with quality homes commanding aesthetic value. It now offers an equally promising phase 3 development to follow the phenomenal success of phase 1 and 2.

A few of us were all eager to return to this place since we were there last year during its seasonal display of a Christmas-themed attraction that undeniably causes the traffic jam due to many people visiting the place for some photo-ops or to reflect on the spirit of the season.

A part of the Vista Land masterplanned community called Sta. Elena City, Crown Asia Valenza at Sta. Rosa Laguna is a 25-hectare Italian-themed community that's just a short ride from Tagaytay and boasts of a prime location amidst premium shopping centers and renowned world-class institutions. It has first-rate amenities, and a wealth of possibilities only limited by the imagination. You'll have all necessities needed within reach without the hustle and bustle of the city.

Since 2005, this high-end development project is truly your heart's every desire that currently no other projects can beat that it is considered as a community for people who seek to escape to the more refreshing South. This is why it has attracted most distinguished set of buyers of which the bulk is overseas Filipino workers or OFW.

Alta Pampanga Resto Bar & Cafe: A Fusion of Kapampangan and Other Culinary Treats

 

Wazzup Pilipinas!

What could be better than listening to iconic songs from the Beatles, and other notable artists from the same generation, sang by a youthful acoustic trio who goes by the name of Trisera, while dining on a fusion of East Asian, Mediterranean, and Kapampangan culinary treats? Maybe a great windy penthouse ambiance situated in a building that is more advanced than the neighborhood it is located because of its low-emission glass windows and self-cleaning front glass that protects you from harmful UV rays? or maybe an elevator to take you up to the penthouse so you'll avoid walking several flight of stairs? or maybe a building that uses LED lights, inverter airconditioning units, and a sewerage treatment facility that let's you peacefully enjoy a more Mother Earth friendly surrounding?

But wait, Alta Pampanga Resto Bar and Café boasts of being all that and more. It's the very first building already operational that can proudly say it's also helping the environment while serving excellent food to its customers.

We had the opportunity to try out Alta Pampanga after we got an invite to attend a mini-photo exhibit entitled Estructura Herencia by Mal-A-Ari held last May 17 at the said venue in Angeles, Pampanga. Together with other bloggers, we arrived at our destination earlier than expected as the organizers were still setting up the place. We waited for a few more minutes before the management and owner arrived to welcome and orient us about the building, the restaurant and their plans for the future.

Lamudi Merges with MyProperty.ph to Become Leading Property Portal in the Philippines

Wazzup Pilipinas!

At an undisclosed amount, international property portal Lamudi Philippines recently acquired MyProperty.ph, in a move that will strengthen the online real estate market in the Philippines.

Announced at the New World Hotel last May 19, the merger will make them the leading property portal in the Philippines. However, the two companies will continue to operate individually, as both seek to grow their existing brands in the country’s thriving online property sphere. 

Jacqueline van den Ende, co-founder at Lamudi.com.ph led the announcement to the members of the media though we were already informed of the big leap last May 7 from the invitation Lamudi Philippines sent via e-mail. It was only last May 19 when we learned that they were referring to MyProperty.ph.

While changes at an operational level will be limited, the acquisition will result in knowledge sharing between the two businesses and improvements to the overall customer experience for online property-seekers.

Kian Moini, Lamudi Global’s Co-founder and Managing Director, said: “By acquiring MyProperty, we are combining the two strongest players in the Philippines to create the go-to destination for both house-hunters to find their new dream home, and for brokers and developers to market their properties online.
