A pause to recharge or
reimagining a future that empowers Filipinos to co-build a more robust tourism
industry in Batangas, Manuel V. Pangilinan (MVP) is not your conventional
business leader as he strikes a balance of both endeavors.
As Chairman of the
infrastructure conglomerate Metro Pacific Investments Corp. (MPIC) and other numerous
companies that provide essential services, MVP stays on top of the company’s
COVID-19 response in support of the government efforts. At the same time, he
jumpstarts the preparedness of the Philippine economy to bounce back from the
global health crisis with his vision for tourism in Batangas.
“Through Landco
Pacific Corp.’s latest beachside projects: CaSoBē and Club Laiya, I take pride
in promoting Batangas as one of the country’s top tourist destinations. These
properties are responsibly developed to preserve the cultural and natural
features of the place; provide employment for locals; and give Filipinos an
opportunity to recover from these unprecedented times by not just building
their dream beach homes but opting to create Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)
that cater to the tourism market,” MVP stated.
These master planned
estates are the newest projects of upscale real estate developer Landco, a
subsidiary of MPIC. These developments under Landco BeachTowns are close to
MVP’s heart as he foresees these lively leisure and tourism destinations in
Batangas as the next big thing. The country’s answer to some of the world’s
most vibrant beach side destinations: Ibiza, Spain; Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil; and Capri, Italy.
For more than three
decades, Landco made its mark in developing exclusive and luxurious properties
around the country. One of its leading projects is Peninsula de Punta Fuego, a
premiere luxury seaside residential community situated on the 88-hectare of
pristine coastline in Nasugbu, Batangas.
Leveraging on tourism
as one of the key drivers for the country’s growth when it emerges from these
challenging times, Landco with the leadership of MVP, envisions a revolutionary
and innovative new concept.
Landco CEO Erickson Y.
Manzano supports MVP’s vision to position the LTE as thriving and inclusive
seaside communities in the travel and leisure destination of Batangas,
inspiring entrepreneurship and work-life harmony.
“It’s a gamechanger
approach. Instead of making it exclusive, it’s open to the tourism market but
remains aspirational and premium,” said Manzano. “It presents an opportunity
for budding Filipino entrepreneurs or those who would like to work closer with
nature. Eventually, the place will not just be a hotspot for local tourists but
for in-bound travelers from abroad,” he added.
CaSoBē offers a mix of seaside residential homes, and beachside retail and
commercial establishments. There’s a Retail Row, a Harbour Walk, and an
Activity Block – with lot sizes ranging from 356 square meters to 890 square
meters. All these lots are near the beach and paved with pedestrian streets.
There’s a common area estate WIFI, 24/7 security with CCTV, a beach promenade
and a hotel-inspired property management service.
It's is a haven for those
who prefer more privacy and a laidback and intimate lifestyle. It is near Cape
Santiago lighthouse, a golf course, Little Boracay sandbar, Star fish island
and the underwater pyramid.
Located on the other
side of the Batangas coastline, the 24-hectare Club Laiya features a
combination of residential and commercial-ready lots in the tourist spot of
San-Juan Laiya Road. It’s a choice
destination for the stylish and chic leisure seekers who love to work on their
tan, get into water sports and hangout in the hottest party scenes. A row of
diverse resorts, restaurants and bars already dots its shores.
Two to three hours
away from Metro Manila, CaSoBē and Club Laiya are both LEED-registered with
Landco’s commitment for long-term environmental sustainability.
MVP attests to CaSoBē’s
significance as a tourist destination and an ideal work from the beach venue in
the new normal. His business calendar was filled with Zoom meetings and online
conferences with a seaside view and assistance by the warm and friendly local
staff.
Helmed by Landco’s
Senior Consultant for Hospitality Patrick C. Gregorio, the Edge-registered Millennial
Resorts Corporation (MRC) is the hospitality service provider within the LTE.
MRC owns and operates unconventional accommodations: Cocoons and Crusoe Cabins,
select leisure facilities: Laiya Beach Club at Club Laiya and Aquaria, a
waterpark with a three-story giant slide at CaSoBē These are the tourism
attractions for which the properties are known for.
Landco projects are in
line with MPIC’s commitment to help achieve the United Nation’s Sustainable
Development Goals to make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe,
resilient and sustainable; and strengthen the means of implementation and
revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.
For MVP, coming home
to a tropical paradise in these LTE is a breeze. It’s going to be the newest
trend in the travel industry.

About United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is adopted at the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit on 25 September 2015. This Agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. It also seeks to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom. It aims to eradicate poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme poverty, which is the greatest global challenge and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development.
All countries and all stakeholders, acting in collaborative partnership, will implement this plan. The United Nations is resolved to free the human race from the tyranny of poverty and want and to heal and secure our planet. It is determined to take the bold and transformative steps which are urgently needed to shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path.
As countries embark on this collective journey, each one pledged that no one will be left behind. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets demonstrate the scale and ambition of this new universal Agenda. Countries around the world seek to build on the Millennium Development Goals and complete what are not yet achieved. Each country seeks to realize the human rights of all and to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. They are integrated and indivisible and balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: the economic, social and environmental. The Goals and targets will stimulate action over the next years in areas of critical importance for humanity and the planet.
