VISTA LAND 2025: LEADING PHILIPPINE MULTI-MARKET RESIDENTIAL EXPANSION

   PHILIPPINES – Vista Land sustained broad-based growth across its residential portfolio, solidifying its standing as a premier real estate development conglomerate. Its expansion in 2025 was underpinned by diversified development and a calibrated regional response to shifting housing demand, particularly the continued decentralization of economic activity and the rise of provincial centers.

The DOT Property Philippines Awards named Verida Best Township Development, while Vista Residences received the distinction of Best New Launch Condominium Development for Crosswalk Tower at the DOT Property Southeast Asia Awards.

Rather than concentrating volume-driven growth in a single segment, it pursued parallel developments across integrated estates, house-and-lot, and condominium properties. This multi-market strategy enabled Vista Land to effectively balance its market exposure while scaling its footprint nationwide.

Master planned developments

Vista Estates continued to serve as anchors across growth centers, combining residential, commercial, and institutional uses. In Central Luzon, Cascaia in San Fernando, Pampanga, stands to benefit from the expanding industrial base and improving connectivity. In Mindanao, integrated features within Andaluz in Zamboanga City reinforced Vista Land's viability in the southern region.

Multigenerational house-and-lot communities

Crown Asia and Camella remained core contributors for Vista Land, responding to homebuyer and investor demand for landed housing across suburban and provincial markets.

Marking its 30th anniversary, Crown Asia reinforced its presence with 13 condominiums and house-and-lot developments across strategic locations from Luzon to Mindanao.

THE CAMELLA LEGACY: BREAKING RECORDS AND BUILDING DREAMS

 PHILIPPINES – Camella concluded 2025 with sustained expansion, portfolio diversification, and market strength—reinforcing its dominance as a growth driver within the national real estate sector, while remaining dedicated to delivering communities that support the lifelong dream of homeownership

The DOT Property Southeast Asia Awards 2025 named Camella as Best Mid-Range Developer, underscoring its scale, scope, consistency, and contribution to Philippine real estate.

Camella introduced Belfelice in Metro Vigan, Ilocos Sur, alongside Camella Solano in Solano, Nueva Vizcaya, and Arezzo and Sonvielle in Urdaneta, Pangasinan, to address demand in North Luzon. This extended to Tarlac, with Lucelia and Soleado and Amandea in Capas, broadening access to communities supported by industrial activity. Granvida further strengthened Central Luzon in Baliwag, Belterre, and Solenea in Santa Maria, Bulacan.

BELL-KENZ’S SAGIP CPR PUTS LIFESAVING IN EVERY HAND

  PHILIPPINES – In the Philippines, the holiday season stretches long and wide, starting as early as September, building toward Simbang Gabi, Noche Buena, and back-to-back reunions that fill homes, churches, and town plazas. Families gather, lechon tables appear, and streets light up with parols as the country embraces the most festive weeks of the year. But even as celebrations surge, so do heart-related emergencies. 

With the Department of Health (DOH) observing a yearly rise in cardiovascular emergencies, ranging from stroke and heart attack to sudden cardiac arrest, the toll of holiday stress and excess has become increasingly evident. During DOH rounds in 2023, the government-run Philippine Heart Center (PHC) reported a steady uptick in cases, with stroke incidents climbing from 38 in December to 42 in January 2024—the highest monthly count that year. The surge reflects a familiar holiday pattern, when celebrations often bring excessive drinking, lack of sleep, heightened stress, and indulgent food choices that quietly raise blood pressure and strain the heart. In such moments, knowing how to perform CPR can mean the difference between life and loss.
