Home for the Holidays

Posted by Stefan on December 23, 2014

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year,” as Andy William’s song goes.

Millions of Filipino people currently work overseas. As Filipinos, we know how painful it is for OFWs to be working away from their families to help provide them with a better life. And many haven’t seen their loved ones for several years now.

As Filipinos, we always look forward to this season. As parents, we hope for our family to be intact: to take the opportunity to make up from the time we haven’t spent with our children. As kids we looked forward to the joy of the season: all the cool stuff we would get, all the great food and treats, and lots of time to just enjoy the season with the family.

These memories are imprinted into our mind and are revived every year with the sounds and sights of the holidays. For most, it’s a special time of year, one in which we celebrate and connect with those closest to us.

This holiday season, it is best to spend quality time with your kids. Christmas is a good time to teach your family, especially children about values like love, compassion, giving and sharing. This is the perfect time to include the whole family in different Christmas activities like baking cookies, decorating the house and the tree and wrapping up gifts, to mention some.

Come up with games that your family might enjoy. In fact, it is a good idea to go shopping together, where you can make your kids choose their own gifts. Buy groceries together and just enjoy the company you might have missed for a long time.

The key here is to give yourself a break and to spend maximum time with your family. A family Christmas is the best kind of Christmas and once you have had a good one, you will make it a point to enjoy every future Christmas with your family.

Primavera Residences is a family-oriented multi-awarded development in Cagayan de Oro. The building consists of amenities and facilities both parents and children will enjoy. Its location and eco-friendly features add up to what most parents would want in a home—flood-free zone, 24/7 security, and it could save up to 20% of electricity consumption.

Asian Dragon Mag Features ITPI Executives

Posted by Stefan on December 18, 2014

In the spotlight of the November-December 2014 issue of Asian Dragon magazine is a feature story on Italpinas Euroasian Design and Eco-Development Corporation (ITPI), a sustainable real estate developer and the passion behind the executives’ vision for green developments.

The first bilingual business and lifestyle magazine in the Philippines, Asian Dragon reports on ITPI’s journey into the real estate industry with Chairman/CEO Arch. Romolo V. Nati and President Atty. Jojo D. Leviste and an in-depth story of the premier eco-friendly condominium development in Cagayan de Oro, Primavera Residences.

ITPI is an Italian-Filipino company that designs and develops sustainable property developments nationwide and Primavera Residences, its flagship development in CdO, recently won in the 2014 Asia Pacific Property Awards in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

“Sustainable design is more than just designing green. Aside from aesthetic design and caring for the environment, it has to help develop the communities,” Nati expounds. “That’s why our developments incorporate sustainability features and are built in secondary Philippine cities, where they can help develop local communities.”

When asked about the company’s definition of ‘growth’, “Growth is not about hitting a certain target per year. It would definitely be great to do that, don’t get us wrong. What is more important is that we get to promote sustainable design, especially in the sense that it doesn’t need to be so expensive,” explains Nati.

Together, the two brought over their experiences and ideas from other countries to set up ITPI, in response to the need for genuine sustainable development in the country.

“We don’t necessarily have to be the biggest, but we want to be the most admired,” Nati concluded.

To know more about the multi-awarded development, Primavera Residences, you can visit primaveraresidence.com or call 088-880-5002 and 0917 794 2221.

5 Eco-friendly Holiday Tips for a Green Christmas Season

Posted by Stefan on December 17, 2014

It’s easy to get “wrapped up” in our traditional ways of decking the halls, but some decorating traditions, however sentimental, may not be so environmental.

The holidays can be one of the most expensive times of the year; from cooking the perfect dinner to preparing your home for your family. If you’ve recently started a family, it’s best if you look for new ways to make Christmas memories that your children will look forward to every year.

It’s not necessary to celebrate holidays with an expensive menu or extravagant decors, you can impart a sense of joy and wonder with an eco-friendly twist. This holiday season, giving love, peace, and quality time to the people who are closest to us are the true reasons for this season.

Well, following these simple tips will help you save money, enjoy your resources, and feel good about the impact your holiday celebrations will make on the environment.

1. Photo and Card Holder

Make a holder for holiday cards by gluing clothespin to a yard stick or thin stretch of balsa wood. Make sure they are evenly spaced, about 3 inches apart, and wait to dry. Then, spray paint the color of your choice, and clip in your cards. For a little extra holiday flair, top the holder with glitter, rhinestones, or tiny bows. If you want to make it even memorable, you can hang the most outstanding photos of you, your friends and your family.

2. String a smarter light string

Instead of buying more standard holiday lights to replace bad strings (or to try and keep outdoing your neighbor’s massive display), opt for energy-efficient light strings. When they’re made using light-emitting diode bulbs, or LEDs, they’re 90 percent more efficient than traditional holiday lights. LEDs also last longer — up to 10,000 hours compared with 5,000 hours for standard incandescent bulbs.

3. Homemade Wreaths

Not all wreaths require cutting branches off of trees, you can actually make something out from your old dresses and rags making this a great example of a more eco-friendly alternative.
4. Eco-friendly Wrapping Paper

Ditch the rolls of wrapping paper and avoid glossy or metallic gift wrap. Instead, check out fabric gift wrap or these creative gift wrap ideas. Use the greeting cards received last year or any other recycled material to make gift tags. For gift bags that come with tags attached, write “Reuse this bag!” on it instead of the recipient’s name. (Just don’t forget who it goes to.)

5. Make Your Own Greeting Cards

Use the cards you received last year, a child’s artwork or your own craftiness to create new Green Christmas cards. Use recycled paper for holiday letters. Or send a family photo with your greeting handwritten on the back.

Things to Consider in Buying Your First Property

Posted by Stefan on December 10, 2014

Let’s admit the fact that buying your first home is more than a little overwhelming, in fact, it is one of the most difficult decisions you have to make. Your dream home is your asset,but it is also a major responsibility. To help you on your dilemma, we have put together a buyer’s guide to ease the process.

As you prepare to buy your first home, allow us to explain some factors you are likely to come across.

First and foremost, even before you deal with accredited real estate agents, you will need to work out your budget, which means spending some time studying your finances. Once that is all ironed out and you have an idea of how much you are willing to spend, we can begin weighing in on what to consider in buying a property.

1. Location

A top priority in buying a property is finding the right location. Whether you are purchasing your home as an investment, a lifestyle upgrade or both, one of the most important decisions you will make is where you want to live. Your home’s location will help determine not only the future value of your investment (if you’re planning to sell in the future), but also many aspects of your everyday life. Here are some factors you should also consider carefully when selecting a location according to Amy Fontinelle in Buying a Home: Choose Your Location.

Security

Safety is a top concern. You’ll often pay less to live in an area with higher crime rate, but if you’ll have to live in fear or if you one day become a victim, no price discount will be worth it. It may also be harder to resell your home or get a good price for it if you decide to sell.

Work proximity

The length of your daily commute can have a significant impact on your disposable income, quality of life and how much time you get to spend at home with your family. How long of a commute can you endure? Are you planning to stay at your current job long-term or do you expect to switch jobs in the near future? If you plan to stay at your current job, how close to work do you want to live? If you plan to switch jobs, what are the job prospects in or near the area where you’d like to live?

City vs. Suburb vs. Rural

The setting you choose within the city or town you select will affect the amount of peace and quiet you have, lot size (if you’re buying a house), primary and secondary education options for your children, proximity to shopping, entertainment, medical services and anything else you might want or need, and more.

2. Developer’s Track Record

Before buying your first home, it’s important to research the building’s developer and have a good understanding of their past projects. Work with real estate professionals to find out if the building is sound or not. When you add your findings of the building’s structural integrity to the developer’s track record, you will know if the building is a quality product or not. Do they hand over house keys on schedule? What are the qualities of the units or houses they have sold so far? To find out about a particular developer’s track record, consult the Internet or ask for an opinion from a property consultant.

3 . Management

In buying a property, make sure there is a property management body that would help you go through the proper process in assisting you about your property plans.

Consider safety, maintenance, proper billing process, it is best to say that when buying your first property, there should be that feeling of security that your home and your family is in safe hands.

Property management is the operation, control, and oversight of real estate as used in its most broad terms.

You should also consider a property management body that will take better care of your property. A management body that has been in business for a number of years will have seen it all and will be able to confidently handle any problems that arise with your property quickly and efficiently.

Primavera Residences is the perfect example of what you totally need in buying your first property. May it be an investment or a home, rest assured that all of these considerations are prioritized.

Primavera Residences, a multi-awarded sustainable development, is located in uptown Cagayan de Oro, basically in the prime spot of Pueblo de Oro Business Park.

The developer, Italpinas Euroasian Design and Eco-development Corporation, is an Italian-Filipino property developer known for its advocacy for, and practice of, sustainable architecture and development which is known of their multi-disciplinary approach (power and real estate) as well as their professional and cultural connections.

Italpinas Chairman Cited Among BizNews Asia’s Top 24 CEO in PH

Posted by Stefan on December 4, 2014

BizNews Asia, the country’s largest weekly business and news magazine, celebrates its 13^th anniversary by honoring 24 of the Philippines’ leading CEOs and business tycoons at InterContinental Manila last November 25, 2014.

Also previously listed to be one of the Most Influential People in the Philippines by BizNews Asia, Italpinas Chairman, Dr. Jose “Joey” P. Leviste, Jr, is now cited as one of the 24 leading CEOs in the country.

Management Excellence Awardees

Together with Bangko Sentral Governor Amando M. Tetangco, Jr, SM Prime Holdings President and CEO Hans Sy, and Metrobank Chairman Arthur Ty, OceanaGold Philippines and Italpinas Euroasian Design and Eco-development Corp (ITPI) Non-executive Chair Jose “Joey” P. Leviste, Jr. are this year’s Management Excellence Awardees.

“I am very grateful that BizNews Asia selected me as one of the Management Excellence Awardees this year. It’s certainly a distinguished group of honorees that I was fortunate enough to be part of,” Leviste said. “On my part, I am happy that I was given this recognition, not so much for myself, but for the people I work with in companies such as OceanaGold Philippines, Constellation Energy and Italpinas; for the good work they have done in the area of sustainable mining, renewable energy, and green buildings.”

Dr. Jose P. Leviste Jr., together with ITPI CEO and Arch. Romolo V. Nati and ITPI President Atty. Jojo Leviste III, share the same vision and passion in promoting sustainable developments in the Philippines. He is a seasoned Filipino renewable energy entrepreneur, being the Chairman of OceanaGold Philippines, a sustainable mining corporation and Constellation Energy Corporation, a renewable energy company. He is also the Chairman-CEO of Enactus Philippines, an international non-profit organization that brings together business leaders and universities to promote business projects that create positive impact to their communities, and also chairs PRIMEX, the biggest Filipino consultancy firm of ADB.

Dr. Leviste graduated in Economics from the Ateneo de Manila University with an MBA degree from Columbia University and an MA Economics degree from Fordham University in the United States. He was granted a Doctorate in Humanities, Honoris Causa from the Nueva Vizcaya State University for his work in social, civic and community work as Chairman of OceanaGold Philippines.

Multi-awarded sustainable developer

“Apart from being associated with different corporations, I am proud to chair Italpinas because of the good work it has done in the real estate sector. It is a unique product catering to a new market. Italpinas is a prime mover in one of the most promising cities in the Philippines, which has become the center of academic institutions and a center of good governance,” Leviste shared.

Italpinas Euroasian Design and Eco-development Corporation (ITPI) is a specialized real estate developer that practices ecologically sound and state-of-the-art design paired with the use of renewable energy technologies. ITPI’s premier project in Cagayan de Oro – Primavera Residences, a green, mixed-use development – was built to serve the city’s increasing demand for affordable housing with sustainability in mind. It was awarded this year as the Best Mixed-Use Development in the Philippines by the Asia Pacific Property Awards.

A Culture of Excellence

“We have to develop a culture of meritocracy. Not only in our companies, but in this country. We have to develop a culture of integrity and high performance, and we have to develop a culture of excellence because it does not matter whether the company is big or small but it matters if you trust the culture of meritocracy and excellence,” Leviste declared.

He added, “Italpinas is certainly not one of the largest companies in the real estate field in this country but I’m proud to be associated with it because of the professionalism that its management exhibits and the Italian creativity of its people. I am also proud that it has selected Cagayan de Oro as its first city to create a positive impact to the environment.”

5 Ways Young Filipinos Will Shape the Real Estate Industry

Posted by Jane on December 2, 2014

For many years, Filipino millennials—individuals aged between 20 and 34 years—have been under the radar of many brands and marketers. They are even considered a hard sell—well informed yet seen as having little spending power. They have been labeled tech-savvy yet narcissistic, liberal yet lazy, and many are even seen as perpetually holed up in their parents’ homes, saving on rent and unwilling to move out.

However, the days when millennials are perceived as such are quickly coming to an end. Recent research is showing that millennials will soon comprise a demographic that will shape the Philippines’ economic future, and that of its real estate industry.

With this new interest for millennial home-buyers, leading property platform Lamudi Philippines lists five ways millennials will shape the Philippines’ real estate sector and how the industry can effectively tap into them.

Their Number and Spending Power is Growing

Data from the National Statistics Office (NSO) show that Filipino millennials now number approximately 27 million, more than a quarter of the country’s total population and more than 50 percent of its workers, making them a key demographic with a potentially high spending power.

In fact, having a sizable disposable income places millennials in a good position to purchase the latest gadgets. Global marketing firm Publicis Manila dubbed this spending behavior “I want ergo I need.”

Despite their limited employment experience and training, Filipino millennial employees tend to be favored over their older counterparts because of their lower demands and flexible working habits, according to Publicis. This increases the sheer number of employed young people in the Philippines.

They are Tech-Savvy

Filipino millennials also now comprise more than 70 percent of Internet users in the Philippines, according to estimates from comScore. Their income also allows them to subscribe to the best Internet connections, making them the prime customers of e-commerce sites that peddle everything from shoes and airline tickets to housing loans and insurance.

People in This Age Bracket are Now Getting Married

Although the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) has noted that the number of Filipino couples getting married declined by 1.5 percent between 2001 and 2010, a great number of marriages still take place in the Philippines—476,408 registered in 2011. The average ages of brides and grooms are also increasing: 26.1 and 29.1, respectively, in 2010.

But a more intriguing statistic is how Filipino couples are opting to tie the knot. According to the NSCB, almost 44 percent of couples are choosing civil wedding rites compared to 35 percent who are opting church weddings. The latter is almost always costly, which suggests that young Filipinos’ spending patterns and priorities are shifting.

Filipino Millennials are not Burdened by Student Debt

Although average income in the Philippines is lower compared to the developed world, recent college graduates entering the workforce are not burdened by student-loan debts. This is thanks to Filipino parents’ strong emphasis on the value of education. While the Philippine government does not provide free tertiary education (save for a few state universities), parents fully shoulder their children’s college education. This allows Filipino millennials to start working virtually debt-free, increasing their spending power and savings rate.

Filipino Millennials are Happy

Perhaps the most important trait of Filipino millennials is their positive outlook. A 2013 study conducted by media giant Viacom places Filipino millennials’ happiness level at 83 percent, the highest in all countries surveyed. They also tend to always look at the bright side—although half of them see job security as a challenge, almost 80 percent of them would take a minimum-wage job rather than not to have any job at all.

In order to cope, Filipino millennials thrive on interpersonal contact with family and friends as a driving force to their stress-free lives, according to the study.

Primavera Residences Offers Early Christmas Promo

Posted by Stefan on November 17, 2014

Looking for an investment at the most reasonable deals? Due to the high public demand from the buyers, Primavera Residences extends its promo, the FREE Kitchen Modular Cabinet and installation worth up to P100,000, as an early Christmas gift for its clients until December 31, 2014.

“Due to the promo’s resounding success, and in line with our company’s thrust to offer the best possible package to our clientele, we decided to continue this once-in a-lifetime deal. Thus, as an early Christmas gift, we give more reasons for more people to finally purchase their own unit in the first multi-awarded, eco-friendly condo building in Mindanao and in Cagayan de Oro, which is Primavera Green Residences,” Franz Josef Enriquez, Sales Manager of Primavera Residences, said.

In a regular package, buyers usually get unfurnished units with inclusions of tile floorings, painted walls and ceilings, fitted kitchen sinks, bathroom fixtures, electrical wirings and outlets; however, Primavera Residences’ Christmas promo gives buyers a chance to earn savings of up to P100K inclusive of a FREE set of Kitchen Modular Cabinet and its installation.

“When buying a home or a property, one of the most important parts to consider is the space where we will prepare our food for our family to eat. Primavera understands this need and has significantly made it very simple and affordable for our customers to renovate the interior prior their moving in. This I believe is the real value-for-money offer that can’t be beat,” Enriquez expressed.

Primavera Residences is known for its energy-saving features including cantilevers that protect the units from direct sunlight and an indoor courtyard that maximizes the natural ventilation in the area. By June of 2015, solar panels that will provide additional energy for the building’s common areas will be installed on the building’s rooftop. The building is also designed to withstand earthquakes and extreme weather and boasts of 24-7 security.

The green building has garnered several recognitions for its commitment to green architecture and design locally and internationally. Recently, it was named among the winners in the prestigious International Property Awards in the 2014 Asia Pacific regional competition being the Best Mixed-Use Development in the Philippines. It was also been awarded as the Best Condo Development in the Philippines in 2011 (Southeast Asia Property Awards) and a finalist in the Most Promising Clean Energy Investment Opportunity of the Year (CTI PFAN Philippines Clean Energy Investor Forum).

“Apart from the fact that we already have a few units left, we are the only one here in the CDO real estate industry, offering a promo of this magnitude. Which is on top of our very competitive prices. Indeed, we sell something eco-friendly that we want to add more value to the buyers’ purchase; that they [buyers] will not just earn big time, they also help the environment in a bigger note” Enriquez declared.

Primavera Residences, first development of Italpinas Euroasian Design and Eco-development Corporation (ITPI), is a 10-story, two-tower building located at Pueblo de Oro Township offering residential, commercial and office spaces for lease and purchase. All units in the first tower are ready for occupancy while the second tower is slated to be completed later this year. Buyers may choose from studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units.
