Kabayan graces South Forbes event

MANILA, Philippines - In one of the major events lined up for 2009, South Forbes Golf City has recently unveiled the centerpiece of its Zen-themed enclave — the Tokyo Mansions clubhouse. 

At the inauguration, no less than Vice President and Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) Chairman Noli “Kabayan” de Castro was the guest of honor to this auspicious event. In his message, the Vice President applauded the achievements of South Forbes in enriching Philippine real estate through its unique themed development as well as energizing a struggling economy through investments and employment.

The Real Estate Sector: Alive and Well. Tokyo Mansions is the third themed enclave within South Forbes after the quaint Mediterranean Villas and the resort-themed Bali Mansions. With the great interest and enormous response from buyers here and abroad, South Forbes’ Residential Cluster has included the tropical Phuket Mansions, grand Châteaux de Paris, chic Miami, and two condominium projects, the fairway-fronting Golf View Terraces and the sleek Scandia Suites. In fact, buyers have already moved in or awaiting completion of their home construction which has made South Forbes a thriving community.

“Investments in housing, whether socialized, low-cost, medium-cost or high-end, are very much welcome, especially so in these times when we definitely need to have more investments and create more jobs,” the HUDCC chairman shared. “Basta umaandar ang pabahay, good news ito para sa ekonomiya.”

Supporting Development Outside Metro Manila. South Forbes Golf City is the country’s largest fully-integrated and all-themed golf resort city at the forefront of the Metro Sta. Rosa - Tagaytay corridor, touted as the New City in Southern Luzon. It has become the ideal place to set up business with the availability of major infrastructure such as roads, communication systems, and electricity.

“Projects like these also contribute to spurring development outside of metro manila, which is part of the develoment agenda of the government,” the Vice President said.

Fulfilling a Dream.South Forbes, awarded Best Golf Community Development by the 2007 CNBC International Property Awards, the world’s most prestigious property awards programme, has designed self-sustaining city through its 5 Clusters of Excellence, where residents live where they can make social connections, educate their children, obtain the goods and services that meet their daily needs, and earn their livelihoods — all within the community.
