Luxurious city living

Robinsons Land Corporation has embarked on a remarkable 38-storey residential project at Fort Bonifacio Global City that boasts a large open space garden and amenities area. Aside from being a prestigious address and a strategic location, Fifth Avenue Place has features not usually found in many prominent condominiums.

The highlight of Fifth Avenue is the large garden area that has been incorporated in the site development plan. There is over 3,000 square meters of open space for sports activities, as well as "garden units" for those lucky enough to get the slots in the ground floor. Fifth Avenue Place’s units have quality amenities but are reasonably priced and have flexible terms of payment.

This gem of a property was presented recently to members of the media in a press preview, led by Robinsons Land Corporation president Lance Y. Gokongwei, EVP Frederick D. Go and High Rise Buildings Division GM Danilo E. Ignacio.

To know more about Fifth Avenue Place, call 636-0888 or text 0922-8380888.

Good luck to this very outstanding project!

A Natural Family Retreat

Imagine yourself on a forest path, where colorful blossoms lie all around your feet. Suddenly, your family is there right beside you. Beautiful butterflies of very bright hues dance gracefully above you. Brown and green pine trees of differing heights tower over your head. The fresh, cool air is a welcome respite from the polluted air of the metropolis. This veritable Garden of Eden that I have discovered is Camp John Hay in Baguio.

The grandeur of the lush pine forests and the spring-like weather of this highland paradise, located 5000 feet above sea level, draws a combination of full-time residents and seasonal residents alike. Each year, thousands of visitors flock to Camp John Hay, mostly to experience what Baguio was like 50 years ago. Trees are studiously maintained and seedlings are constantly planted.

I felt transported to a time when the air was fresh and unpolluted and people lived an uncomplicated lifestyle. No matter where you stay inside Camp John Hay, the pace offers many opportunities for you to spend quality time with your family. Whether it is exploring the great outdoors or just unwinding with your loved ones, the pristine surroundings of Camp John Hay provide the perfect backdrop for relaxation time in the company of your kin.

Your columnist visited a rather new attraction in Camp John Hay: A butterfly farm, next to the Filling Station. Here, a myriad of different butterflies fly unfettered and free, capturing the colorful and vibrant spirit of Camp John Hay.

A luxuriant garden of flowers blooms all throughout the landscape, framed by a dense fence of towering pine trees unspoiled by industrial construction. Everywhere you look, greeneries and colorful blooms abound. Wouldn’t this be the perfect place to bring up a family?
