Mega Manila's Future Looks Bright with Vista Land

Still growing at an enormous pace and offering even more real estate for local and international clientele is Vista Land. Either living in it or for an investment, they've been sought after especially in the cities of San Jose del Monte in Bulacan, Caloocan City and Antipolo City. Much of these places are also investing in infrastructure that would benefit thousands of people daily, bringing property values higher in the long run. This is why people prefer Vista Land.

Aside from being the leading developer in the country, they're poised to develop even more land that connects to the recent government projects like th MRT7, LRT Line 1 extension, and the different highways that are being built as we speak. It'll be easier to move around a larger land area, it wouldn't be difficult to work in other places and live in the outskirts where future residential and commercial hubs will be built.

Things will improve over time and the connections will encourage more people to live in these cities, as more of these government projects become operational.

Over at San Jose del Monte, they've got Aspen, a total land area of 38 hectares that run around mountains and towns, bringing the look and feel of Colorado right in the heart of Bulacan. If you're a budding family who's planning to start your corner of the universe, you can enjoy this mountain themed place with features like a clubhouse, a pool, a playground, and plenty of outdoor space for your usual workout. In it is Aspen Residences which will be done with several towers, with more habitable areas and place to workout, encouraging you to have a healthier lifestyle within the actual estate.

Caloocan on the other hand will have North Commons, a modern mixed use premium real estate property which will have workspace, condominiums built, that will have the vibe of a resort inside the city. You need not leave the area to have modern conveniences because why not. You've got a place called CoLab which is a modern workspace designed for its namesake and increased productivity.

There's also The Suites in North Commons which are several mid rise towers made for residential use, meant to home young working class, and those who again would like to start a family. It features a place called Skyscapes that's got a view of the city, so you don't have to go out for wine night, because you can unwind and party while you're on top (see what I did there!).

In Antipolo, they've got Vidarte. It's a play on words Vida (life) and Arte (art). They're betting on the LRT Line 2 expansion and how it would be accessible, as easy as can be, but be a place of creativity and art! There will be actual artwork in between studios/2 bedroom units, surely that's going to be a hugely inspiring!

As much as this looks humongous, this is just the tip of the iceberg of what Vista Land has planned for the whole Mega Manila. It's quite unique, very premium and sustainably planned. There's lots of opportunities for growth, you may check it out via vistaland.com.ph or their social channels if you want to know more about it.

Foundation Begins Relief Efforts

Typhoon Kristine didn't just pass by, but left thousands of families ravaged where 148 individuals lost their lives across the Philippines, quite hard to see especially families, with names to their faces til today. DigiPlus Interactive's social arm Bing0Plus Foundation just recently released over 37 Million pesos of aid which includes a quarter of a million pesos for those who experienced losses, sent to the bereaved families. Initially it was only for 39, but things worked out with the Foundation and DSWD, the social welfare arm of the Philippine government.

The turnover was witnessed by the PH First Lady, DSWD Undersecretary Pinky Romualdez, and DigiPlus' very own Chairman Eusebio Tanco. They met with Governor Hermilando Mandanas of Batangas, Vice Gov Mark Leviste, Mayor Nestor Natanauan of Talisay, Mayor Albie of Bacolod and Celeste Jovenir the COO of Bing0Plus Foundation. 

Time is of the essence, and while those who are affected by the typhoon move to recover from this calamity, they have these private firms to help them support over 750 families, even more that the previous 100 Million pesos they got to do for various programs in livelihood, healthcare and education. They are also working with other local organizations to make sure they empower them in different Plus Centers, especially those that are in Central Visayas and Gensan, where they have committed help increase a more sustainable way to do things especially work in these communities.

There's also another typhoon up North Luzon and it looks like it is also affecting a lot of people, here's praying nothing would happen to the folks out there. Follow the pages and channels to know more about the various initiatives they've started, there will be more!

Dr. Carl Balita Launches New Show "PLATAPORMA"

One of the most hardworking persons I know, Dr. Carl E. Balita is at it again as he hosts a new show called "PLATAPORMA" set to be shown on DZME, The Manila Times, and Dr. Carl's social channels starting this November 8th, from 5-6 PM. He will be up close, and very personal with his lineup of guests, much of which are political aspirants with a no holds barred format so you get to know who they are, what they stand for on issues that affect the country.

Dr..Carl says "The show is tough, direct to the point, no holds barred and taped as live. Whatever the politicians say, it will appear on the show as they said it. We make it a point to use Tagalog as medium, and we have 200 other channels this content will go to. We plan to put this where they are and hope this reaches the people we need to be educated."

He adds "As a victim (of previous elections), I ask my guests what their proof is about their love for the country. I have hope, to bring you to your feet and contribute to change, and be part of the solution. In the next coming episodes, we will have the element of the public, and my questions will be derived from their platforms, and I will challenge that with data. When you see this, I ask the most difficult questions. I've been there and done that, and with Clarita Carlos will join me at a certain point. We might have this in universities live, hopefully soon. I suspend judgement, I wanna ask them their knowledge about the role of being in the Senate. You cant run and just learn about it when you're already there."

Here's our short talk with him before one of his shoots, please listen!

The show will also have several portions batting their proof with hard data, and one that includes questions from the public and a time for them to do an honest confessional in the last bit. Dr. Carl will also be having Professor Carlota Carlos as co-host, to also help with going into the nitty gritty of their political questions as needed.

This is indeed an entertaining format, but be assured that he's doing this for the sake of VOTERS EDUCATION, one that is sincerely needed in this country of ours. There's talk of more channels in the pipeline where they plan to show this, so stay tuned!
