<p>Pueblo de Oro Development Corporation formally launched its newest residential enclave, Southridge, during <em>“The Première Soirée: An Exquisite Launch of Southridge”</em> at the Limketkai Luxe Hotel, drawing a strong turnout from government, business, and property sector stakeholders.</p>



<p>The event gathered more than 80 broker partners and over 20 clients and guests, including barangay officers and officials from neighboring municipalities. Representatives from BPI, Chinabank, RCBC, Metrobank, BDO, and Security Bank were also present, underscoring institutional support for the developer’s projects in the region.</p>



<p>Representing Mayor Rolando “Klarex” Uy, City Administrator Atty. Roy Hilario Raagas lauded the launch as a reflection of “vision, excellence, and a shared commitment to building communities that inspire better living,” while reaffirming the city’s partnership with Pueblo de Oro and ICCP Group in advancing Cagayan de Oro’s growth as a hub for investment and sustainable urban development.</p>



<p>Pueblo de Oro executives led the program, including Marlon Nino B. Escalicas, vice president for operations of Masterson Mile North; Engr. Chrysler B. Acebu, vice president for operations in Cagayan de Oro; and John Vincent R. Rapiz, vice president for sales and marketing, who presented the project briefing.</p>



<p>A key highlight of the evening was the formal unveiling of the Southridge master development plan, accompanied by a project briefing that offered attendees an exclusive preview of the upscale residential enclave.</p>



<p>Positioned within a larger master-planned township, Southridge is envisioned as a premium, low-density community that emphasizes space, privacy, and thoughtful design. The development features generously sized residential lots and a layout that integrates natural terrain, efficient infrastructure, and open green spaces—elements aligned with Pueblo de Oro’s broader approach to creating balanced and resilient communities.</p>

<p>Samsung’s Smart Wash Business Solutions to Introduce an All-in-One Laundry Business Setup in PH</p>



<p>Starting a business sounds exciting—until you’re the one dealing with setup, suppliers, permits, systems, and the day-to-day grind that comes after. For many business owners today, it’s not about whether they <em>can</em> start a business—it’s whether it’s still worth the operational weight that comes with it.</p>



<p>That’s exactly where Samsung’s upcoming <a href="https://smartwashbusinesssolutions.com/"><strong>Smart Wash Business Solutions</strong></a> initiative is starting to get attention.</p>



<p>Set to be formally introduced on <strong>March 25, 2026 </strong>at the <strong>SMX Convention Center in Mall of Asia</strong>, the <strong>Smart Wash Business Solutions</strong> event is expected to present a more streamlined approach to entering the commercial laundry space—one that is already organized from the ground up.</p>



<p>Instead of leaving business owners to piece everything together on their own, Samsung is bringing together a complete ecosystem that supports both the setup and operation of a commercial laundry facility. This includes not just the washers and dryers themselves, but also connectivity through SmartThings, utility partners such as LPG and telco providers, machine-safe detergent partners, and even financing and banking support—all aligned within a single system.</p>



<p>At the center of this initiative is <a href="https://www.cyaindustries.com/"><strong>CYA Industries Inc.</strong>,</a> a longtime and trusted Samsung dealer in the Philippines since 2001. As co-presenter of the event, CYA Industries Inc. leads the deployment side of the business—from installation and system configuration to operational onboarding—ensuring that each site is properly set up and ready for real-world use from day one.</p>



<p>This creates a more structured way of entering a business that has traditionally required multiple moving parts to manage. Instead of building from scratch, the <strong>Smart Wash Business Solutions </strong>model brings together the key components needed to operate, allowing business owners to focus more on running and growing the business rather than assembling it.</p>



<p>The system is also supported by <strong>Samsung’s SmartThings platform</strong>, which integrates connected machines with monitoring capabilities. While full details are expected to be revealed during the event, the direction points toward a more efficient way of managing daily operations through connected technology.</p>



<p>The March 25 event is shaping up to be more than just a product showcase. It brings together key personalities from the business and entrepreneurial space, including franchise expert <strong>Armando “Butz” Bartolome, Myrna “Mommy Negosyo” Natividad, Mark Del Rosario of Let’s Eat Pare, MK Bertulfo of FHMoms, and Cap Hernandez of LinkedIn’s Top 40</strong>. The event will be hosted by <strong>Issa Litton.</strong></p>



<p>As Samsung positions this initiative as a major highlight for the Southeast Asia dedicated team for Commercial Laundry, the Smart Wash Business Solutions launch signals a shift in how certain businesses can be approached—particularly for those looking for something more coordinated, more supported, and more straightforward to operate.For business owners who have the capital but are becoming more <em>selective and intentional</em> about where they invest their time and energy, this is one event worth serious consideration.</p>

<p><a href="https://villageconnectph.com/">Village Connect PH</a> | <strong>MocaMoca Financial Tips on Smart Holiday Spending for Filipino Families</strong> </p>



<p>The holidays in the Philippines are a season of joy, togetherness, and celebration. They can also be a time when expenses quickly grow, from Noche Buena preparations to gifts for <em>inaanaks</em> and year-end travel. Even families who plan ahead may feel the pressure as December unfolds. During this occasion, families can trust MocaMoca as their go-to for worry-free experiences.</p>



<p>To help keep the season meaningful and manageable, MocaMoca shares some simple and practical financial tips that many Filipino households are following:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Set a holiday budget and commit to it.</strong></h2>



<p>Start by listing your must-haves like food for gatherings, essential gifts, and family plans. Seeing everything in one place makes it easier to avoid unnecessary spending.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Spread out your purchases.</strong></h2>



<p>Buying everything in one weekend creates stress and bigger bills. Try to shop gradually or take advantage of earlier sales to lighten the load.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Choose thoughtful gifts that fit your budget.</strong></h2>



<p>Meaningful presents do not need to be costly. Homemade treats, heartfelt notes, or shared experiences can create the same joy without stretching your wallet.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Prepare a small safety cushion.</strong></h2>



<p>Unexpected costs are common in December. Setting aside a little extra for sudden trips, added ingredients, or surprise visitors can help keep your celebrations smooth.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Use clear and trustworthy financial tools.</strong></h2>



<p>Choose financial services that are properly regulated, and select plans or solutions that align with your capacity. Knowing what you are signing up for helps you stay in control of your finances.</p>



<p>These habits help families enjoy the holidays with less pressure and more presence. In the same spirit, MocaMoca promotes responsible financial decisions and offers guidance and tools that support households during the busiest time of the year.</p>



<p>Here’s to a season filled with warmth, intention, and financial peace of mind.</p>

<p><a href="https://villageconnectph.com/">Village Connect PH</a> | <strong>SINGAPORE &amp; MANILA, Philippines — December 11, 2025 —</strong> <a href="https://www.banko.com.ph/">BPI Direct BanKo, Inc.</a>, A Savings Bank (BanKo), the microfinance arm of the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), announced that it has selected ACI <a href="https://www.aciworldwide.com/?utm_source=press-release&amp;utm_medium=press-release&amp;utm_campaign=2023-press-release">Worldwide</a> (NASDAQ: ACIW), an original innovator in global payments technology, to advance its payment infrastructure. Under this partnership, BanKo will implement ACI’s issuing and acquiring platform, enabling banks, fintechs, and merchants to deliver fast, seamless omnichannel transaction processing while staying compliant with evolving regulatory standards.</p>



<p>ACI&#8217;s platform enables real-time transaction processing across multiple channels, including ATMs, POS, and mobile, while ensuring reliability and high availability. Its modular architecture provides flexibility to extend to new services and products and supports the fast rollout of new features and functions. With its open architecture and robust security features, the platform enables financial institutions to reduce costs, accelerate innovation, and deliver seamless customer experiences.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Through this strategic partnership, BanKo is poised to embark on a transformative journey by capitalizing on ACI’s market-leading payment solutions. This initiative aims to replace the existing switch, thereby enhancing BanKo&#8217;s business capabilities. By aligning with customers&#8217; evolving expectations and managing increasing transaction volumes, BanKo will leverage the core attributes of ACI&#8217;s software—specifically its speed, reliability, and scalability—that will serve as the cornerstone of this endeavor.<strong><em> </em></strong>The new platform is expected to go live by the end of Q1 of 2026, marking a significant milestone in BanKo’s digitalization efforts to enhance customer banking experience and deliver faster, more reliable payment services to millions of Filipinos nationwide.</p>



<p>“At BanKo, we use technology to improve the way banking works for Filipinos. By advancing digital payment solutions with our customers and communities in mind, we aim to make financial services more accessible and empowering for Filipinos nationwide,” said Rod Mabiasen, BanKo President. “Our switching network is one of the most important touchpoints for our customers. This partnership with ACI is crucial in building a reliable, future-ready payments system.”</p>



<p>“ACI’s technology is backed by decades of deep payment expertise, earning the trust of banks and national switches globally to power mission-critical payments at scale. With BanKo’s adoption, we’re bringing proven global technology to the Philippines that translates to greater reliability, convenience, and choice in every transaction for Filipino consumers,” said Leslie Choo, Senior Vice President and Managing Director – APAC at ACI Worldwide. “ACI is fully aligned with BanKo’s vision of fostering financial empowerment and together, we are strengthening the foundation for a more inclusive and innovative payment ecosystem in the Philippines.”</p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="https://villageconnectph.com/">Village Connect PH</a>| Making a Comeback Post-COVID |</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is a testament to the resilience of Filipinos to find opportunity in adversity. Consumption shift has been evident in the past months since the quarantine period started, with more Filipinos finding ways to create an economic activity to adjust to the conditions dictated by the pandemic. From this and the current consumer behavior, we have learned the following to help our businesses thrive post-COVID.</span></p>
<h3><b>Optimizing E-Commerce</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From small households selling home-cooked meals through Facebook and big companies establishing their own online shopping sites, businesses have turned to e-commerce to reach customers. At Hanabishi, we quickly put a system in place once the quarantine period began. In less than two months, our e-commerce facility was up and running through our website, </span><a href="http://www.myhanabishi.com"><span style="font-weight: 400;">www.myhanabishi.com</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. We also provided our customers the option to have their orders delivered or picked up at our warehouse.</span></p>
<h3><b>Recognizing Your Company’s Strengths and Capabilities</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our business may not be directly about health and safety, but we we were able to adjust to the new normal by relying on our strengths and capabilities.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We noticed that more households are making their homes the center of their lives, that they are finding ways to make their lives comfortable. They have started to pursue their passion for the arts, baking, cooking, among others to make their lives less stress-free and more comfortable. Having the best home experience became their goal.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When we learned that interest in baking products has increased, we knew that our baking equipment will be in demand so we made sure that they would be readily available through our website. The same thing goes for our cooking equipment when we noticed how Filipinos have started to bring the Samgyupsal experience to their homes. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We considered all these in reviewing our operating model. We relied on our strength as an appliance manufacturer and boosted our capability to supply what the market demands.</span></p>
<h3><b>Implementing Short-Term Interventions and Streamlining Non-Core Assets</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cutting costs, securing liquidity, and adjusting production have helped us maintain our operations during this period. Conserving resources can help businesses last longer.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reinventing value chains must also be considered as the pandemic has greatly disrupted the supply chain of global trade. Businesses must learn to streamline their non-core assets and activities.</span></p>
<h3><b>Learning to Adapt</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As I mentioned before, we saw Filipinos flex their entrepreneurial skills in the past months. We saw them selling their own recipes online, creating new businesses to augment their income. It is inspiring to see how quickly our kababayans adapted to the new normal. Speed and adaptability are the competencies we need during a time of crisis.</span></p>
<h3><b>Creating a Recovery Plan</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once consumer confidence returns, we must be ready to respond. Have recovery plan that should be able to address what happens the pandemic. Re-engineer your business to provide clarity and genuine stability amid the chaos and take time to improve the skills of your people. Our managers should be able to envision our objective. To do this, we business owners must provide them with the necessary knowledge and confidence to further their execution skills.</span></p>
<h3><b>Recognizing That Recovery Will Be Gradual</b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There’s no quick-fix solution to the challenges that businesses face today. As the world adapts to the changes brought about by the pandemic, businesses should  be mindful of consumer sentiment.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We have learned from past crises that it takes months and years to return to what we deem as the normal way of doing things. Recovery from the 2003 SARS pandemic, the 9/11 attacks, and the 2008 financial crisis took some time, and we can expect the same thing with the COVID situation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">More importantly, we have learned from these crises that we will eventually recover. Getting there may take some time, but we will get there. Our resilience and faith in our abilities and in one another will see us through.</span></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jasper Ong is the president of Hanabishi, one of the country’s leading appliance brands. He took over the day-to-day business and management of the brand when his parents retired in 2006. He is credited for growing Hanabishi’s sales revenue by 30% year-on-year following its nationwide expansion and introduction of new product lines. He is a graduate of Manufacturing Engineering and Management at De La Salle University.</span></i></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b><a href="https://villageconnectph.com/">Village Connect PH</a>| I am M.A.D. launches &#8216;BIDA Eskwela&#8217; to raise P200K in 40-days for poor schools nationwide |</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">To help support adaptive education implementation in the Philippines this coming school year, multi-awarded youth volunteer organization </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/IamMakingADifference/"><b>I am M.A.D. (Making A Difference)</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> launches a bayanihan initiative in light of the public health situation brought by the ongoing pandemic.</span><b></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dubbed as </span><a href="https://bit.ly/BIDAEskwelaVideo"><b>BIDA Eskwela (Bi</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">gay-Ayu</span><b>da </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">para</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">sa </span><b>Eskwela)</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, the nationwide fundraising campaign is spearheaded by </span><b>I am M.A.D. </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">together with its cooperating partners, the </span><b>National Youth Volunteers Coalition</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><b>Youth Advocates for the Philippines</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A two-time Ten Accomplished Youth Organizations (TAYO) Awards Foundation awardee, I am M.A.D. is a volunteer-powered nonprofit organization focused on youth development and empowerment through values-oriented advocacies.</span><b></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The BIDA Eskwela donation campaign aims to </span><b>raise at least P200,000 in 40 days from July 9, 2020 to August 17, 2020.</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> The initiative is set less than 60 days before the August 24 school opening. Full </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">details on how to donate are available at </span><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfn-BR4MkY-YX6DjsAwYlw9vt29KG-t2V9DREZnmrWFPz23Rg/viewform"><b>bit.ly/bidadonate</b></a><b>.</b><b></b></p>
<h3><b>The 40-Day Challenge, #BIDAEskwelaKwarenta</b><b></b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The group encourages the public to be a part of this drive by </span><b>donating</b> <b>at least P40</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. With such a small amount, the organizers believe the collective efforts of Filipinos will make a big difference especially in these most trying times.</span><b></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To drum up the campaign, a social media push under the hashtag </span><b>#BIDAEskwelaKwarenta </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">has been created. It literally means </span><b>40 days </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">and is a play on the word </span><b>“quarantine”</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> which is what Filipinos are actually experiencing with the limited physical movements.</span><b></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Indeed, it is a challenging task for our government, specifically the Department of Education, to prepare schools in a different set up in such short notice. But like them, we at I am M.A.D. are committed to our responsibility to help realize our youth’s right to education and make it thrive, even in the most difficult time. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s once again come together and provide the ‘ayuda’ our public education sector needs. We invite all to join this 40-day challenge and help us support our education frontliners,” said </span><b><i>Maco Ravanzo, co-founder &amp; Chief Executive Volunteer of I am M.A.D. (Making A Difference)</i></b><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span><b></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While most are staying at home and maintaining social distancing, </span><b>BIDA Eskwela</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> calls on everyone to be part of this campaign digitally through the hashtag — #BIDAEskwelaKwarenta and help encourage more donors. </span><b></b></p>
<h3><b>Poor public elementary schools as beneficiaries</b><b></b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">BIDA Eskwela targets to send support to </span><b>20 school beneficiaries</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in mostly</span><b> underprivileged and remote communities nationwide</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am M.A.D. is in close coordination with community authorities in identifying areas that need assistance from the private sector. Donation money entrusted to the volunteer group will be instrumental in assisting school teachers and non-teaching personnel as they adapt to the “new normal” learning modalities.</span><b></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With the President’s directive to postpone face-to-face classes until a vaccine is available, the Department of Education (DepEd) is pushing for distance learning with blended modalities where students will be schooled in the safety and comfort of their homes. </span><b></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The government will maximize the internet to facilitate learning. Meanwhile, for those without online connectivity or gadgets at home, the DepEd said preparations are underway to implement home-based learning through TV, radio, and printed modules.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Depending on the actual supplemental needs of the identified school partners, funds raised from this campaign will be allocated to each institution to give additional aid in carrying out their various distance learning delivery pursuits, which may range from printing equipment and supplies such as paper, printer, ink, photocopier machines, extra communication or data load allowance, as well as essential health supplies such as face masks and sanitizers, among others.</span><b></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am M.A.D. believes that with every</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">donation of </span><b>“kwarenta”</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> pesos, this collective act of giving can reach school communities starting from up north Luzon in Benguet, to select provinces in the Visayas ,to as far as the southern part of the Philippines in Basilan.</span><b></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Donations can be made directly through the following bank saving accounts: BDO (Mayo Ceazar Mendoza &#8211; 003010257672), BPI (Vonn Vincent Tanchuan &#8211; 0999238424), Metrobank (Mark Conrad Ravanzo &#8211; 0663725653850), Landbank (Bigjay C. Lagang &#8211; 2986155891), and Unionbank (Vonn Vincent Tanchuan &#8211; 109420073791).  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can also send support via GCash (Lester Lim &#8211; 09088160145) and PayMaya (Lara Myka Puchero &#8211; 09666537452) or use PayPal to donate with your debit and credit cards though this link: </span><a href="https://bit.ly/IAMMADPayPal"><span style="font-weight: 400;">bit.ly/IAMMADPayPal</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span><b></b></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b><a href="https://villageconnectph.com/">VillageConnectPh</a>|Holcim Helps CSR programs assist over 200,000 in 2019|</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cement maker Holcim Philippines, Inc. directly helped over 200,000 people in 2019 through its corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs designed to support the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations (UN). </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The company’s CSR initiatives under Holcim Helps benefitted 229,170 individuals last year. With this, the company has helped more than 800,000 people since 2015, surpassing its commitment to the LafargeHolcim Group of assisting 400,000 people by 2020. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The biggest share of the funds were directed to initiatives for infrastructure and shelter (31%) followed by livelihood and inclusive business (20%), environment (17%), education (13%), and health (8%).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In January, Holcim’s Davao plant was recognized by the Region XI office of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) for supporting the agency&#8217;s programs to uplift indigent people. In 2019, Holcim Davao partnered with DSWD and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) for trainings on plumbing, welding, forklift operations, masonry and carpentry that benefited over a 100 people in the community. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other Holcim Helps highlights in 2019 were its support to the development of a sustainable tourism master plan for the municipality of Bacnotan, La Union, the masonry</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">training for people displaced by the conflict in Marawi in partnership with the UN Human Settlements Programme and TESDA and the inaugural Young Builders Challenge, a sustainable construction contest for aspiring architects and engineers. Holcim employees also participated actively in volunteer programs throughout the year. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Holcim Helps initiatives are aligned with the LafargeHolcim Group’s 2030 Sustainability Plan, a set of goals that contribute to the UN’s efforts to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Holcim Philippines President and CEO John Stull said the company will continue to implement progra working closely with various stakeholders to implement sustainable projects that help uplift the communities where it operates. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Our Holcim Helps programs are our way of giving back to our communities. As hosts of our facilities, they play an important role in the success of our company,” Stull added.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Holcim Philippines Vice President for Communications Cara Ramirez said the Holcim Helps programs are aligned with the company’s message of contributing to progress beyond supplying essential building materials. In 2019, the programs also focused more on collaboration and emphasized the value of sustainability. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We developed our CSR programs to have a more lasting positive impact. Our active collaboration with our communities helped us identify the right programs that are responsive to their needs.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> These are strategic initiatives that complement our operations. To ensure effectiveness, we prioritize sustainable programs that provide more quality support to our stakeholders</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">,” Ramirez added.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The suburban south of Metro Manila has been gaining distinction as a residential paradise that is ideal for frequent vacationers who want to bask in a daily staycation experience. This is the value that Zadia, a new vertical enclave at Greenfield City, offers to homebuyers looking for the qualities of a serene countryside environment combined with the modern conveniences of condominium living. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Embodying the ‘greenspiration’ lifestyle, Zadia focuses on green living, sustainable architecture and ecological design. The condominium development complements the tranquil and scenic ambiance of Sta. Rosa, Laguna and blends in the elegant and modern construction design that its developer, Equus Property Venture, Inc, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Greenfield Development Corporation, is known for. With the intricate union of contemporary architectural features and nature’s wonderful creations, residents will be encouraged to leave their worries behind and be one with nature, every time they come home.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From the luscious trees to the modern interiors, Zadia will transport homeowners from the hustle and bustle of urban life into a cozy oasis, where they can enjoy nature both indoors and outdoors. Zadia’s second tower was recently launched earlier than expected – giving investors and homebuyers the opportunity to reserve a unit at pre-selling rates, and benefit from flexible payment terms.</span></p>
<p><b><i>Dream Vacation Lifestyle </i></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One usually gets utmost rest and relaxation only during extended holidays. If they are lucky enough to arrange for a vacation leave and ensure that they have no work-related deadlines, they can enjoy a getaway to somewhere more peaceful and quiet. </span></p>
<p><figure id="attachment_3645" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3645" style="width: 468px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-3645" src="https://i0.wp.com/propertyfindsasia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Zadia-Guardhouse.jpg?resize=468%2C331&#038;ssl=1" alt="Zadia Guardhouse" width="468" height="331" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-3645" class="wp-caption-text">The Zadia Guardhouse</figcaption></figure></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Life at Zadia is like having an intimate escape with nature as it is private, low density and laidback. The five-building condominium complex spans 36,000 square meters, with Tower 1 and Tower 2 buildings rising up to 11 and 16 floors, respectively.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Zadia is unique for being composed of more than 80 percent open spaces, amenities and roadways which is unparalleled by spacious developments in Metro Manila and even in Sta. Rosa. Zadia’s first-class amenities are designed with its lush surroundings in mind. Nestled amidst green sceneries is the outdoor swimming pool where families and friends can unwind and re-energize; the gazebo where a coffee and a book can be enjoyed in a sun-glazed afternoon; the grand clubhouse that can host various types of social gatherings; the indoor and outdoor basketball courts and a tennis court that are ideal for ball game enthusiasts.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To top these, residents can have their own break and rejuvenation in the comfort of their own homes, as every unit comes with a balcony where they can appreciate the fresh breeze and verdant views.</span></p>
<p><b><i>A green legacy </i></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aside from its amenities and landscaped parks, Zadia is integrated within the 400-hectare Greenfield City, and stands alongside the ecologically-friendly master-plan’s commercial centers, business establishments, and other residential communities. Located at the heart of Greenfield City, Zadia is close to Paseo, Laguna Central and Arcadia which are three lifestyle establishments where restaurants, bars, cafes and international brand outlet stores operate.</span></p>
<p><figure id="attachment_3646" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3646" style="width: 468px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-3646" src="https://i0.wp.com/propertyfindsasia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Clubhouse-pt2.jpg?resize=468%2C269&#038;ssl=1" alt="Zadia Clubhouse" width="468" height="269" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-3646" class="wp-caption-text">The Zadia Clubhouse</figcaption></figure></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For more than two decades, Greenfield has been transforming Sta. Rosa City from a sleepy rural town into a world-class township, integrating premium residential developments and urban conveniences in a “city within a park.” Zadia provides homebuyers with an investment option and a dream, nature-rich, vacation home that the family can come home to every day.</span></p>
