Make the best Happen when BPI Family Brings Housing Madness to Pampanga
BPI Family Housing Loan is set to bring excitement in Pampanga when it holds the 3-day Housing Madness on April 25-27, 2014 at the activity area of Marquee Mall, Ayala Center.
During the Madness event, the Bank will be putting together under one roof eight (8) residential developers featuring their local projects, each one backed with exclusive home acquisition packages to offer. Real estate developers participating at the Housing Madness include Alveo Land, Inc, Avida Sales Corp (Avida Towers Vita), Avida Land (Madera Grove Estate), Ayala Land, Inc., Central Country Estate (Lakeshore), Filinvest, Hausland Development Corp. and St. Catherine Realty.
“The influx of real estate property developers in Pampanga and nearby provinces is a good indicator that potential for growth of the area is high and there is a continuing demand for modern communities in the local market. Thus, harnessing the real estate prospects in a province such as Pampanga is one of the goals of BPI Family Savings Bank. This is why we are bringing our Housing Madness here so that our fellow Kapampangans could take advantage of our very competitive rates and exclusive offers. The heart of the Bank is not just about giving out loans to our target market, but more on providing the best financial advice to guide them as they make a major decision in their lives such as owning their own home. We are coming in with our trusted partner developers’ projects that our clients could explore and choose from. We are here to ’Make the Best Happen’ in the lives of our kababayans,” says TG Limcaoco, President of BPI Family Savings Bank.

Thousands of Youth Gather for Habitat Youth Build 2014 “Tagbo. Tukod. Tana!”
This year’s Youth Build is expected to be one of the biggest youth gatherings in the country. Over 5,000 youth will converge at Habitat Youth Build 2014 “Tagbo. Tukod. Tana!”
“Tagbo. Tukod. Tana!” as this year’s
Habitat for Humanity “Youth Build”, happening simultaneously on
May 3, 2014 in five key provinces in the country, to make a
commitment to help rebuild homes across calamity-stricken areas in
the Philippines.
Beginning May 3, young volunteers will sweat it
out as they get their gloves, hard hats, and shovels ready to begin
the construction of Habitat houses in earthquake-hit areas in Bohol,
and Yolanda-affected communities in Cebu, Davao, Cagayan de Oro, and
Naga. After Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) destroyed parts of the country
in November last year, Habitat launched its “Re-Build PH”
campaign with a target to rebuild 30,000 houses. This year’s Youth
Build aims to rally the youth to do their share to meet this target.
“Rebuilding the Philippines is everyone’s
responsibility. This time, we want to gather our youth and tap into
their passion and energy to help get the job done while at the same
time serving as role models to the younger generation,” shares
Charlie Ayco, Habitat for Humanity Philippine’s CEO and Managing
Director.
“Tagbo. Tukod. Tana!”
Since the build-sites are mostly around the
Visayas region, this year’s theme was taken from the local Visayan
dialect-- “Tagbo. Tukod. Tana!” (Let’s gather. Let’s
build. Let’s do it.) It hopes to speak more urgently to the
Visayan youth to rise to the challenge of helping their own
neighbors, friends, and kababayans rebuild their own
communities by taking part in the Youth Build.
“For us to be able to truly move forward from
the horrors of the earthquake and typhoon, we need to work
hand-in-hand as one community-- the progress of one is the progress
of all. We encourage the Boholanos to help their kababayans,
because by doing so they are helping the entire province,” Ayco
adds.
Rebuilding 7,000 houses in Bohol
In October last year, a magnitude 7.2
earthquake rocked parts of Bohol leaving houses in shambles and
families homeless. The Youth Build targets to rebuild 7,000 homes in
16 municipalities across the province providing decent shelter to
families still living in tents and make-shift houses.
To kick-off festivities in Bohol on May 3, a
motorcade of celebrity youth supporters will take place in the
morning leading all the way to the Habitat site in Loon, Bohol where
Habitat’s Youth Council will begin the initial build. To cap the
day, a youth concert open to the public will be staged to further
urge the Boholano youth to respond to the call.
Other local festivities to kick-off the “Youth
Build” will also happen in Cebu, Davao, Cagayan de Oro, and Naga.
The Habitat Youth Build is a
movement that engages young people to raise funds for, and awareness
of the poverty housing situation in the Asia-Pacific region where one
in eight people live in slums, according to the United Nations.
Now on its third year, the
annual campaign challenges the youth to do something concrete
to help. Young people from 11 other Habitat countries across the
region will also participate and build or repair
homes for low-income families.
Habitat for Humanity Philippines is a global
non-profit organization committed to addressing the housing backlog
in the country.
