Led by the host, model, and author, Bianca Valerio, the event showcased what Batangas offers — inspiring destinations, well-established traditions, a proud heritage, and the latest addition to all these, PHINMA Maayo San Jose. A unique Filipino community on the rise that is inspired by Batangas’ rich culture and diverse lifestyle. Through the lens of the digital screen, local Batangueños discovered an excellent reason to stay closer to their loved ones. At the same time, those living outside Batangas who always visit for vacations realized that they could finally own a home near their favorite getaways. OFWs who only want the best for their families found a way to invest their hard-earned money in a home that is made with the needs of their family in mind.
The groundbreaking ceremony is a milestone led by the visionary Management Committee: Raphael B. Felix, President and CEO of PHINMA Properties; Rogelio M. Garcia, VP for Business Development; Franciz Z. Villegas, VP for Project Management; Cris M. Igelsias, VP for Operations of Community Developers & Construction (CDCC); and Mia Reyes, Corporate Communications & Marketing Manager.
It was indeed a breakthrough moment not just for the lead team but for every Filipino family that will now be able to own their dream home in a development that is master-planned even to the smallest detail. To show this, special house tour speaker, Julia Rivera from Presello, took on-ground and virtual guests on a home tour of Rosario, a two-storey townhouse and one of three house designs at PHINMA Maayo San Jose.
Room by room, Julia, together with the guests, discovered how spaces inside this beautiful modern Filipino home are ergonomically designed. The kitchen comes with bigger cabinets and a longer L-shaped counter with durable granite and laminated plywood finishes built to give its residents utmost comfort and convenience for a long time. Also, there is still room for you to install cabinets for storage while leaving enough space for residents to move around. Another thing to like is the strategically-placed wide windows that allow natural lighting and ventilation.
Even the staircase is well-thought of with its graspable handles, non-slip matte tile flooring, and customer-tailored step width and riser height. Outside, the yard is a flexible open space that can be converted into a garden and each house has a spacious service area for laundry and clothes drying. Through the virtual home tour, we were able to appreciate how the house was skillfully designed to provide a dignified and modern living experience.
And just when we thought PHINMA Maayo San Jose has revealed all that it can offer, the development also presents a life that is more sustainable and better for our planet. Each home comes with a rain water collection system which will help residents save on water bills because it can be used for cleaning or watering plants. It also comes with solar panels for better energy efficiency and lower electricity bills. The community will also have its own materials recovery facility for single-stream recycled materials.
PHINMA Maayo San Jose has three types of homes for you to choose from. Each caters to every Filipino family’s need. There is the Rosario Townhouse (50 sqm), the Salva Townhouse (80 sqm) and the Trinidad Single Attached House (125 sqm).
