The Launch of the Lamudi Affordable Housing Fair

Wazzup Pilipinas!

To further assist Filipinos on their path to homeownership, leading real estate website Lamudi will gather property developers across the country in a big property fair exclusive for the affordable housing segment.

Scheduled to happen on July 15 and 16, 2017, at the Glorietta 3 Activity Center in Makati, the largest gathering of affordable properties aims to reach as many Filipinos. Lamudi is setting the event to be an avenue to find the right property that best fits the budget or the perfect place to finally jumpstart the house hunt.

“We acknowledge that home-ownership is one common aspiration shared by all Filipinos, but due to the continuous growth of real estate prices, this dream is becoming more and more elusive to some Filipinos, especially to those who do not know where to search. For this reason, we are organizing a housing fair specific to the affordable market,” said Bhavna Suresh Chathambeth, CEO of the Lamudi Group (Lamudi Philippines and MyProperty.ph).

Gathering all value-for-money and easy-on-the-pocket housing on one venue will not only help homebuyers. We also envision that the targeted approach of the Lamudi Housing Fair’s second installment will greatly help exhibitors to meet the exact audience that they are looking for,” Ms. Suresh added.

More than bringing together affordable developments, Lamudi is preparing more exciting schemes such as property discounts, games, raffles, prizes, and freebies for the attendees. Informative agenda such as real estate investment forums will also be available to complete the package.

The event is expected to welcome not only homebuyers but also property investors, real estate professionals, brokers and visitors who wish to learn more about the industry. Likewise, exhibitors are not limited to property developers; other related industries such as property managers, hotels and resorts, brokerage firms, furniture companies, banks, insurance, and other financial institutions are also encouraged to participate and highlight their products and offerings.

The first Lamudi Housing Fair was a three-day-event successfully held in November 2016 and was attended by more than 5,000 visitors.

RunRio Trilogy Series 2017: Dingdong Dantes Joins the Most Premiere Running Series in the Country

Wazzup Pilipinas!

What's new with RunRio Trilogy series? 

Well, joining Coach Rio Dela Cruz and Andrew Neri is GMA-7 Kapuso talent Dingdong Dantes of the DongYan popularity. His better half, my favorite and crush ever since she started her acting career Marian Rivera, is not there but since they are husband and wife, what's his' is hers and I'm sure she will totally support him with this latest endeavor. Dingdong is also the founder of the Yes Foundation which also forms a partnership with RunRio.

Though Dingdong admits he is not a runner, and he may or may not join the any or all of the three runs since his schedule as a celebrity may not allow it, and we also have top be extra careful in running since there has been deaths reported probably due to excessive physical exertion. 

Honestly, you are not advised to run, especially the longer routes, if you have no sleep or have been very physically drained from other activities. Life of a celebrity would most of the time require actors to be on the set for several hours and even more than 24 hours a day due to shooting demands limited by the availability of the actors.

With the presence of Dingdong, I'm sure it will be extra star-studded as he would surely invite his colleagues from showbiz to join the runs. Coach Rio already has a huge fanbase especially runners who idolize him since his roots are very inspiring as he aims to motivate runners in the proper way to achieve their athletic and fitness goals.

Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) showed confidence anew in its recent exhibition of its latest truck line-up. Held on April 20-23, 2017 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City, IPC’s truck display bares its core values of dependability, durability and reliability.

One of the country’s most trusted truck brand, IPC has been a consistent segment leader specially for its light-duty N-Series trucks which holds the No. 1 position for 17 consecutive years. In the past two years, however, the trucks and buses segment also saw a significant increase in demand which is parallel to the growth of the economy, which is why IPC’s medium and heavy-duty trucks sales increased by around 13% in 2016.

“The key to our success is not on the sale of our trucks, it’s on the full service that comes with every purchase. With every truck purchase, we provide product orientations, driver’s training and even a professional analysis on fuel consumption and actual vehicle operation” said IPC President Hajime Koso. “A truck is probably one of the most valued investments for a company, which is why aside from providing quality products, Isuzu guarantees availability of parts and reliable service” he added.

Leading the 12-truck display line-up were the two (2) units each Isuzu NHR with flexi truck 10 x 10 body and FVM with Fruehaf wing van, which are specially built by IPC’s trusted body builders Kyoei Kogyo Philippines Corp. (KPC) and Centro Manufacturing Corporation respectively.
