Vista Land maintains strong presence in the King City of the South

Friday, February 21, 2025

For nearly three decades, Vista Land, the Philippines' leading integrated property developer, has established a formidable presence in Davao Region. Situated along the Asia-Pacific Rim, Davao Region is a key gateway between the Eastern and Western hemispheres, positioning the Port of Davao as the busiest in Mindanao. Davao continues to entice migrants from across the country, drawn by the prospects in this established urban center.

With over 150 hectares of master-planned developments, house-and-lot communities, and condominium developments, it has helped shape the evolving regional landscape. Among its key projects are Camella Cerritos Davao, Camella Davao, Camella Digos, Camella Tagum, Camella Tagum Trails, Camella Toril, Solariega, and Toscana, along with multi-tower complexes such as Celesta, Frontera, and Northpoint.

Davao City, the rising metropolis of the South

Recognized as the economic powerhouse of the South, Davao City offers an ideal setting for those looking to secure their future. Its robust local economy, modern infrastructure, and investor-friendly environment make it one of the most desirable places for business and real estate investment.

With easy access to historical landmarks, pristine beaches, and breathtaking natural wonders, the quality of life in Davao City ranks among the best in the country. With the relentless drive of modern DavaoeƱos, the city’s growth is poised to be remarkable, and the demand for good quality homes will only continue to rise.

Frontera, a pine vertical village in Davao City

Frontera by Vista Manors

Frontera by Vista Manors sits along Manuel Garcia Road in Buhangin, near the Davao City bypass road, providing direct connectivity to Bukidnon-Davao Road, Barangay Toril, and Communal Road.

With modern infrastructure developments underway, Frontera is poised to accommodate the anticipated influx of property seekers and investors looking to establish smart-ready homes in Davao City. Spanning nearly two hectares, the vertical pine village will house mid-rise condominium towers tucked behind Caribbean pine trees, embodying the Vista Manors resort-inspired lifestyle.


Frontera will be constructed with smart features to enhance both convenience and security. It will feature resort-themed amenities including infinity and kiddie pools, an energy park, and an amphitheater. Milestone celebrations can be held at the clubhouse while kids can delight in the nearby kiddie playground.

The vertical village is set to become a beacon of progress, positioned near business districts, commercial centers, top educational institutions, places of worship, and major transportation hubs.

Tagum, the next big city in Davao Del Norte

Tagum City is the bustling epicenter of activity within Davao del Norte, carving out its own identity while remaining an integral part of Metropolitan Davao. Tagum stands out with its distinct character— a juxtaposition of urban infrastructure framed against a backdrop of picturesque mountains and towering royal palm trees lining its main avenue.

With its booming industries and favorable business climate, Tagum is evolving into a hub for commerce, trade, and tourism. Supported by a skilled workforce and supportive local government, the city is well-positioned for sustained growth.

Celesta, bringing harmony to the Music Capital of the South

Musikahan Festival

Renowned for its vibrant music scene, Tagum City has earned the title of 'Music Capital of the South.' As the host of festivals such as the Musikahan Festival, Tagum City has attracted enthusiasts from across the country and beyond, setting the stage for concerts by homegrown talents and multinational artists. What truly sets Tagum apart, however, is its symphony of traditional and contemporary genres reflecting its rich cultural heritage and artistic evolution.

Celesta Tagum City

Inspired by this deep-rooted passion for music, Vista Land introduces Celesta, a vertical village rising in the heart of Tagum. Designed to orchestrate enhanced experiences in this part of Mindanao, Celesta offers an elevated lifestyle that resonates with the creative energy and progressive spirit of the city.

Every detail in Celesta is thoughtfully composed to create a masterpiece of contemporary living. Residents will have access to an array of resort-themed amenities, including a grand pavilion, swimming pool, and recreational spaces, all designed to foster relaxation and leisure. The vertical village finely tunes style, comfort, and functionality, offering a calm yet captivating escape.

MMDA-Robinsons MMRF Launch Collects Over Two Thousand Kilograms of Recyclables in Muntinlupa

Wednesday, February 19, 2025


300 attendees including valued members of the Muntinlupa City Environment and Natural Resources (CENRO) actively participated in the launch of the Mobile Materials Recovery Facility (MMRF) in Barangay Sucat, Muntinlupa City demonstrating strong community support for responsible waste management. During the event, a total of 2,272.2 kilograms of recyclables were collected, with 1,623.2 kilograms sold to a junk shop and 649 kilograms transferred for further processing at the MMDA’s Integrated Solid Waste Management Facility (ISWMF), situated in the Vitas Pumping Station at Tondo, Manila. These efforts highlight the significant impact of community-driven waste recovery and segregation to major close waste stream loops and implement a circular materials recovery system (MRS).

A Public-Private Partnership for Sustainability

This initiative is a collaboration between Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC) through its corporate social responsibility arm, Robinsons Land Foundation. The partnership underscores the shared commitment of both the public and private sectors in advancing sustainable waste management solutions. Jay Dela Cuadra, Senior Development Director of Robinsons Logistix and Industrials (RLX), emphasized Robinsons Land’s dedication to fostering eco-friendly practices within communities, ensuring that initiatives like the MMRF program continue to drive long-term environmental impact.

Mr. Jhonmarie Caoyong of MMDA Solid Waste Management Office (SWMO) emphasized the significance of this partnership, stating, "The MMDA and RLC's collaboration creates a mutually beneficial system that promotes recycling while providing essential goods to community members in exchange for their recyclable materials—the core concept of the project. By engaging communities, providing incentives, and fostering partnerships, we are not just managing waste—we are transforming it into a sustainable resource that benefits everyone."

Empowering Communities through Waste Management


Barangay Sucat residents enthusiastically embraced the program, actively exchanging recyclables for goods provided by RLC and San Miguel Corporation (SMC) through MMDA’s MMRF.

Dela Cuadra highlighted the significance of this public-private partnership: “This project underscores the importance of collaborative efforts in addressing our waste management challenges to reduce plastic pollution in our waterways. Together, we can inspire communities to adopt best practices that promote a culture of environmental responsibility.”

The launch event featured interactive activities, educating residents on proper waste segregation, recycling practices, and the importance of the MMRF in their community's waste management efforts.

A Sustainable Future for Metro Manila

The MMDA and RLC are committed to sustaining the MMRF's operations through ongoing community engagement, educational campaigns, and resource allocation. This successful partnership serves as a model for other communities, showcasing the power of collaboration between national and local governments, the private sector, and residents in making real change towards sustainable waste management.

"The success of this project hinges on the active participation of every member of our community," stated Vincent Alon of Muntinlupa's Environmental Sanitation Center. "Segregation at home is crucial for cleaner surroundings and effective waste management practices. By raising awareness and visibility of programs like this one, we are hoping to motivate our stakeholders to join the zero waste movement.”

The MMDA encourages all Metro Manila residents to participate in the upcoming MMRF operations and learn more about responsible waste management practices. Together, we can build a cleaner, greener, and more resilient Metro Manila.

Vista Land Celebrates Love Month in Ilocos Region Featuring Master Planned Developments at the Pamulinawen Festival

Tuesday, February 11, 2025


Vista Land, the Philippines' leading integrated property developer, proudly joins Laoag City, Ilocos Norte, in celebration of Valentine's Week through the Pamulinawen Festival—a grand tribute to the resilience, unity, and indomitable spirit of the Ilocano people. While rooted in religious devotion to the city's patron saint, Saint William the Hermit, the pre-Spanish era folk song Pamulinawen also speaks of love both steadfast and true—an ode not just to beauty but to strength, perseverance, and a resolute heart.

The trusted name in Philippine real estate understands that unwavering love, much like a well-built community, stands strong through every season of life. Just as Pamulinawen Festival honors faith, dedication, and resilience, Vista Land is committed to crafting master planned developments called Vista Estates that embody these time-honored values. Its integrated communities in Ilocos Region, Bramasole in Laoag City and Querencia in Metro Vigan, are thoughtfully designed to reflect the rich culture of the region while embracing the promise of progress. Much like the enduring narrative of Pamulinawen, the continuing mission of Vista Land is not only to build homes but legacies that last for generations to come.

Bramasole, a Tuscan-inspired estate basking in the radiance of Ilocos Norte

Bramasole Laoag

Laoag City, the northern gateway of the Northwestern Luzon Growth Quadrangle, stands at the crossroads of tradition and transformation. A mere two-hour flight from major East Asian economic hubs— China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan—the city is poised for growth while remaining deeply connected to its roots. It also leads in sustainability, home to the towering Bangui Wind Farm, the first wind-powered energy source in Southeast Asia.

Coffee Project

Amid this dynamic landscape, Bramasole brings the romance of the Tuscan countryside to Ilocos Norte. Inspired by Cortona, Italy—a town known for its historic piazzas, stunning palazzos, buzzing trattorias, and old-world artisanal shops—Bramasole is designed to capture the old-world elegance and warmth of European-inspired living.

Rising at its heart is Bramasole Residences, an enclave of multi-tower condominium properties with smart-ready features and globally inspired amenities, including a clubhouse with a pavilion, swimming pool, play areas, and landscaped parks and gardens. Built for those who appreciate the grandeur of the past and the promise of the future, Bramasole brings lifescapes made more beautiful by time to the most promising city in Ilocos Norte.

Classic Spanish architecture finds a new home in Querencia at Ilocos Sur

Querencia Vigan

Metro Vigan, the provincial capital of Ilocos Sur, is admired for its Belgian block streets and architecture, which are unique to the city. It is home to a fusion of Filipino and oriental building design with age-old colonial structures, creating residences that resemble old European towns but are adapted to the tropical climate and constructed with local materials.


A breathtaking 2,511 hectares of mostly delicately gentle hills and greenery, Vigan is located a scenic 407 kilometers from Manila, another 82 kilometers from Laoag, and 138 kilometers from the regional capital of the Ilocos Region, San Fernando in La Union. Here, the breathtaking master planned development of Querencia will rise.


Echoing the Mission-style architecture of Alta California, Querencia will be composed of charming hamlets and tower clusters of white stucco topped with clay-tile roofs loved on the West Coast. Architecture reminiscent of Santa Barbara will blanket the micro city and breathe fascinating new life into Bantay. The exquisitely painted azulejo tiles will line the walkways and park trails and imbibe commercial areas and amenity spaces with Spanish art, life, and color. Its commercial hub, aptly named Azulejos, is inspired by Paseo Nuevo, the sprawling open-air shopping and dining center in Santa Barbara.

Vista Land, pioneering excellence in property development

Filipinos deserve the best—this driving belief has been integral to Vista Land and its day-to-day operations and is the secret to its success.

As the holding company of the housing ventures of Vista Group, Vista Land is primarily engaged in developing master planned communities, horizontal properties, and the construction of vertical residences in the Philippines' key growth areas.

NOBITA Breaks Boundaries with Genre-Defying Single "PNYT" Featuring Flow G

Monday, February 10, 2025

NOBITA


Filipino alternative pop sensation NOBITA is making waves once again with their latest single, "PNYT", a bold and emotionally charged anthem that pushes the boundaries of their signature ‘hugot’ songwriting. Known for chart-topping hits like "Ikaw Lang" and "Unang Sayaw", the five-piece band is set to captivate an even wider audience with this genre-blending masterpiece.

A Fresh Sound: NOBITA x Flow G

A daring departure from their usual sentimental ballads, "PNYT" sees NOBITA venturing into rock, R&B, and hip-hop, delivering an electrifying collaboration with award-winning rapper Flow G. The track opens with gripping guitar riffs and an infectious beat, setting the stage for a raw and vulnerable exploration of love’s unpredictable and often devastating nature.

“Extreme emotions require extreme expressions,” the band shared in a statement. “We’re happy to channel the song’s frustrating agony while maintaining the right balance of sensitivity and control.”

Working with Flow G introduced a fresh dynamic to their music, pushing them to explore new sonic landscapes. “We added our own flavor but also ventured into a space we don’t normally explore. It’s exhilarating to step outside of our comfort zone and create something fresh.”

Serendipitous Collaboration with Flow G

The partnership between NOBITA and Flow G came about unexpectedly after multiple encounters at weddings and music festivals. Though not initially close, a mutual admiration for each other’s craft led to an Instagram message that set the collaboration in motion. The result? A high-energy, genre-bending track that perfectly balances NOBITA’s emotional depth with Flow G’s dynamic lyricism.

A Testament to Growth and Experimentation

"PNYT" is more than just a song—it’s a statement. With its aggressive instrumentation, intense vocal delivery, and fearless storytelling, the track marks a significant evolution in NOBITA’s artistry. From multiple revisions to refining every beat and lyric, the band poured their hearts into crafting an anthem that resonates deeply while hitting hard.

“This track really challenged us,” NOBITA admitted. “It took us to places we never expected to go musically, but we embraced the challenge and came out stronger.”

With its fatalistic energy, raw emotions, and undeniable urgency, "PNYT" is set to be one of NOBITA’s most talked-about releases yet.

Listen Now!

NOBITA’s "PNYT" (Feat. Flow G) is now available on all digital streaming platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment. Don’t miss the official music video premiere today at 7 PM!
