MANILA, Philippines - Tarlac today stands proudly as a crossroads of art, history and progress. Guests are pleasantly treated to the many natural, historical and cultural sites it offers. Most popular is the Mt. Pinatubo trek where adventure seekers get to see up close the crater formed after the volcano’s catastrophic eruption in 1991. There are also the Bueno Hot Springs and the Dolores Springs which are believed to be medicinal. And the Anao Quinabutok Creek has become a favorite picnic and fishing spot.
The residents of Tarlac have literally risen from the ashes of Mt. Pinatubo to re-fashion this heritage-rich province into a modern melting pot where traditional culture has seamlessly blended with the new. The presence of economic zones resulted into rapid industrialization, bringing in more jobs for its residents and surrounding provinces as well. The completion of the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) has cut travel time from Manila significantly, making the travel safer and faster for commuters.
Just 10 minutes away from the exit of the SCTEX is a growing community that is now providing a safe and secure home truly appropriate for the modern Tarlac resident. Camella Tarlac is a 61-hectare property that offers stylish homes that are truly financially accessible. “Its proximity to the commercial hubs, financial districts, major universities and hospital facilities makes it an ideal property investment – its value rising as the growth of the province continues,” declared Camella president Maribeth Tolentino.
“It has three enclaves that provide this growing community a variety of options with seven model homes to choose from,” added Dante Julongbayan, Camella’s Head for North Luzon. “Each was designed to respond to specific needs of varied homeowners — from single professionals to starting families and even empty-nesters.”
With the grand launch of Camella Tarlac, visitors can view and experience for themselves the advantage that the Camella lifestyle offers. A showcase area features the Affordable Series and the Lessandra Series – space-efficient homes designed to respond to various styles and requirements. The Lessandra series offers model homes such as Reana, Margarita, Reena and Marga. The Affordable Series, on the other hand, has five model home choices namely Lara, Marvela, Carmela, Drina and Elaisa.
Camella Tarlac also offers a range of amenities that are a standard in residential developments in the country’s major cities. This includes a clubhouse, swimming pool, basketball court, tree park, jogging park, picnic area, playground and exercise area. The development likewise offers various security measures to ensure the community’s safety. There is also a shuttle service that brings residents to drop off/pick up points in the city proper at specific hours.
Tarlac’s neighbour, Apalit, is also showing signs of progress and prosperity. It is no surprise then to find a Camella development in this place. Formally established in 1582, this municipality is a gateway to Pampanga and the rest of the northern regions — it being the first town of the province located right next door to Bulacan. Today, the presence of many manufacturing firms, refineries, and a multinational oil corporation has fast-tracked Apalit’s growth and attracted commercial, financial and retail establishments to cater to the needs of its residents. Camella’s presence has provided quality homes with a higher standard of living for the people.
Camella Apalit is a Mediterranean-themed community on a 15-hectare property. Its homeowners can enjoy amenities at par with developments in the country’s major cities including a clubhouse with swimming pool, parks and playground, and a basketball court. It also has a perimeter fence to ensure the security of its residents. It offers 12 model homes each one tailor-made to respond to the market’s varied needs and lifestyles. From the Crown Jewels series, model homes Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, Pearl and Jade are available. From the Camella series, one can choose from Elaisa, Drina, Carmela and Marvela. And from the Lessandra series are Rina, Marga and Reana. “Just like Apalit where it is located, Camella Apalit continues to grow and respond to the needs of its homeowners. Residents can look forward to a commercial area which will ensure convenience and access to basic commodities without having to leave the safety and security that Camella offers,” concluded Tolentino.
