Lamudi PH Gears Up for Second Affordable Housing Fair

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Now on its second year, the Lamudi Housing Fair continues its goal of bringing aspiring homeowners closer to the most affordable properties in the Philippines.

Leading Philippine real estate website Lamudi Philippines is once again gearing up to help hardworking Filipinos finally achieve their dream of homeownership with the second installment of the Lamudi Affordable Housing Fair happening at the Glorietta Activity Center on June 30 and July 1. Similar to last year’s successful first run attended by more than five thousand visitors, this will be a platform that will bring together some of the biggest names in affordable real estate in the country.

“As industry experts have alluded to repeatedly, the low number of affordable homes in the Philippines is a growing issue. Many Filipinos who work hard to provide for their families want a home to call their own, and more often than not, low-cost properties are the more viable option. Unfortunately, these options are not enough,” Lamudi CEO and Managing Director Bhavna Suresh Chathambeth said. “As we have witnessed during the first Lamudi Affordable Housing Fair, there is indeed a great demand for affordable residential properties, which is why we are just as excited now for the second year of the affordable housing fair series.”

Several low-cost residential options will be presented by the most prominent property brands brands in the country. Attendees can look forward to top-notch developments with attractive prices and payment options offered by Ayala Land, Filinvest, Data Land, and Profriends, among others. Investors who are in the market for foreclosures will have the chance to purchase their dream home during the event’s property auctions.

As an event that will also serve as a learning venue, the housing fair will likewise host a number of speakers who will provide audiences with buying, selling, and investment tips. Talks covering everything from investing to applying for a home loan will be hosted by real estate brokers and government representatives, among others.

On top of property displays, exclusive discounts, and informative seminars, the event will be hosting several exciting games and raffles. Various event sponsors will also provide guests with fun freebies.

Join us for two days of property showcases, informative seminars, real estate auctions, and exciting games and prizes at the Lamudi Affordable Housing Fair happening at the Glorietta Activity Center on June 30 to July 1, 2018 from 11AM to 10PM.

Seascape Village: The Newest Foodie Destination in the Metro with a View of the Glorious Manila Bay Sunset

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Seascape Village is inviting foodies galore to experience what is now a vibrant append to our country's enthralling Manila Bay. 

Aside from the Filipino, Asian, and fusion cuisines, and a wet and dry market that features fresh seafood trading, it is also a place where dining customers can enjoy an unobstructed view of the glorious Manila Bay sunset.

At a food crawl held on May 17, 2018, we got to try out some of the specialty dishes of around 9 of the 13 restaurants there (so far) as this Phase 1 of their development is just seemingly the tip of the iceberg. There are more coming up soon especially when the next phases enters the scene. We've heard some promising developments soon that will make the place a lot more enticing as a hang-out. Think of a seaside hang-out that would be quite interesting for both Millennials and Feellenials (Feeling Millennials) or Millenniors (Millennial Seniors).

Seriously, you'll soon give in to that need to discover the sumptuous array of seafood (and a lot more) brought to you by innovative restaurants all packed into one eye-catching location. We truly believe the Sofitel hotel nearby would now have a tough competition soon. Well, at least for food choices for now. I can see the hotel guests dropping by soon as the price range of the dishes here are definitely way lower than what are available at the hotel.

All offering internationally-themed dishes, Seascape Village could be among the popular foodie hangouts. We have to invite you and your friends to food crawl all you want (just like what we did), while relishing that beautiful sight of Manila Bay's sparkling yet ethereal waves quite visibly enchanting especially during sunset. Therefore bring your cameras or smartphones to take not only photos of your food but also of the amazing seascape.

Wazzup Pilipinas!

SGX Bull Charge, Singapore Exchange’s (SGX) flagship charity initiative, today welcomed ONE Championship as its official fitness partner for 2018. The highlight of the collaboration will be a mentoring programme pairing martial arts athletes with underprivileged youths.

Local martial arts heroes Christian Lee and Amir Khan conducted an introductory workshop on the sidelines of a partnership launch ceremony at SGX Centre – a preview of the mentoring programme, where ONE Championship athletes will team up with youths selected from SGX Bull Charge beneficiaries.

Launched in 2004, SGX Bull Charge is the only corporate charity initiative that brings together Singapore’s financial community and listed companies to support the needs of underprivileged children and families, persons with disabilities, as well as the elderly. It has raised more than $30 million for over 50 charities.

Chew Sutat, SGX Bull Charge Chairman and Head of Equities & Fixed Income, said, “We are delighted to welcome ONE Championship on this meaningful journey. Through martial arts, they have captured the imagination of millions and inspired young people to become champions in their own way. We are also excited about the mentoring programme, which will offer youths from our beneficiaries a unique opportunity to channel their energy positively and pick up life values such as integrity, discipline and courage.”

Teh Hua Fung, Chief Financial Officer of ONE Championship, said, “ONE Championship takes pride and joy in working with today’s youth, and we have executed many initiatives towards this cause. This latest collaboration with SGX Bull Charge will allow ONE to further expand on our efforts to bring martial arts closer to the fans, by working with the youth. The mentoring programme can motivate low-income or troubled youth and keep them off the streets, providing them an avenue towards learning through martial arts. Even more, the youth have a unique opportunity to pick up martial arts and learn all of its amazing lessons and values. This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to give back to the community and to have fun through sports at the same time.’’
