MANILA, Philippines - The name “Alice” means “noble” and generous indeed is this tribute to loyalty.
As part of its corporate social responsibility, Sta. Elena Construction and Development Corporation (SECDC), led by its president, Alice Eduardo, is providing nearly 500 free homes to its employees. The only equity required comes in the form of tenure and loyalty. For this purpose, the company has chosen Lancaster New City in Imus, Cavite where it has acquired an entire Phase covering over four hectares. By pure coincidence, the name of the model unit is “Alice.” The self-contained township is a mere fifteen minutes away from SM Mall of Asia via the CAVITEx.
Elias Altarejos, who has been with Sta. Elena from the start, spoke for the entire team when he said: “Isang panaginip ito na ngayo’y nagkatotoo. Kadalasan at karamihan ng employee housing may partisipasyon sa bayad at napakalayo. Sa pabahay ng Sta. Elena ang tanging puhunan ay katapatan, malasakit at dedikasyon. Ito rin ay napakalapit sa Maynila.”
Over the last two decades, Sta. Elena Construction has forged a strong reputation for building foundations, ports, roads and bridges, and power plants. The firm has made a name for itself not only in the quality of its work, but also in the way it takes care of its greatest asset: its people.
