Living high and living it up in Altafina by Vista Land

South Cotabato: Here, bounty and beauty come together

Perched majestically on the coastline that hugs Sarangani Bay, General Santos City, the Tuna Capital of the Philippines, exudes a more dynamic and progressive vibe. With an economy anchored primarily on the agriculture and fishing industries, GenSan, as it is affectionately called, also covers much ground in tourism. The land formerly known as Dadiangas, and now named for General Paulino Santos, who brought over Christians from Luzon and the Visayas to settle in the area, boasts the largest airport in Mindanao as well as the Makar Wharf, one of the country's most modern international seaports.

The city also earned itself the nickname Boom City of the South, owing to its vast exports and the influx of manufacturing and business process outsourcing (BPO) firms. But despite the dynamic and future-think reputation, GenSan is loved for its many festivals that parade pride in their art and traditions and for some of the most exquisite scenery and beaches in the country.

In honor of the coastal location of GenSan, Vista Land, through its collection of master planned communities called Vista Estates, is constructing a micro city inspired by the sun-soaked outlook and inclination of America's Finest City, San Diego, California. The striking similarities between these dynamic cities lend themselves to the master planning of a vibrant estate development in Southern Mindanao.

San Diego hugs the Pacific Ocean, while GenSan borders the picturesque Sarangani Bay. Both cities enjoy year-round warm weather and have flourishing fishing industries. They are also popular tourist destinations, offering incredible scenic beauty and recreational activities. San Diego is renowned for its beaches, parks, and museums, while GenSan is famous for white sand beaches, waterfalls, dive sites, and natural attractions. Interestingly, San Diego is known as the Tuna Capital of the World.

Altafina features a selection of residential possibilities, office spaces, soothing open parks, landscaped walkways and avenues, and commercial centers.

Enjoy the exhilaration of San Diego in Altafina

Altafina is a portmanteau of alta, meaning high, and fina, meaning fine. The name calls to mind images of living high and living it up. It exudes the joy and fearlessness that the metropolis is designed to capture––and offers its residents and visitors. The shopping in Altafina will measure up to GenSan's reputation as a top shopping hub. Naturally, amazing food and beverage choices follow. The estate is inspired by the dynamic groove the beach town of San Diego radiates alongside amenities and today's smart building technology.

As San Diego and GenSan are proud of the diversity of the cultures, adventures, and opportunities they play host to, Altafina features a selection of residential possibilities, building architecture, and public space design. There will be office spaces, soothing open parks, landscaped walkways and avenues, and commercial centers.

Altafina’s initial offering, Altafina Residences, features vertical abodes for families, professionals, or those who prefer to live near places of work.

Condominium complexes and neighborly horizontal communities will dot the development. Its first offering, Altafina Residences, features vertical abodes for families, professionals, or those who prefer to live near places of work. Rising seven to 12 storeys per tower creates medium densities, allowing for privacy and breathing space. Each tower provides a selection of one—and two-bedroom residences equipped with smart technology and security and safety features. In Altafina, the options are as diverse, attractive, and exciting as San Diego and GenSan have always been.

Vista Land: Pioneering excellence in property development

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

Altafina is a portmanteau of alta, meaning high, and fina, meaning fine. The name calls to mind images of living high and living it up.

Vista Land is constructing a micro city inspired by the sun-soaked outlook and inclination of America's Finest City, San Diego, California.

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. Creating better, expansive, and global-oriented offerings and experiences for its residents, as well as delivering excellent long-term investment growth for its stakeholders, has always been the impetus behind the conglomerate's continuous evolution.

DITO Extends Support to Typhoon Kristine Victims

Tweet

In response to the recent wraths caused by typhoon Kristine, DITO Telecommunity provided technological and funding support to communities heavily affected by the recent calamity.

Through DITO's platform Galing DITO CampX, a school caravan program aimed at empowering students with the company's digital products and services. DITO, in partnership with Batangas State University (BSU), recently held a school concert featuring Galing DITO ambassadors and Pinoy pop boy group Alamat. Ticket sales amounting to Php 250,000 were donated to "PB is UNITED, PB is ONE for Batangas," BSU's fundraising campaign, to support immediate relief efforts such as essential supplies, temporary shelters, food packs, and other rebuilding efforts.

Part of the proceeds also went to the construction of a Multi-Faith Chapel, supporting BSU's initiative towards creating a space for unity and reflection around the school campus.

"At DITO, we believe in the strength of community and the power of coming together in times of adversity," said Evelyn Jimenez, DITO Chief Revenue Officer for Consumer Business. "Our hearts go out to those affected by typhoon Kristine, and through this event and our other efforts, we aim to bring relief and hope to those in need. This is also our way of standing in solidarity with the Filipino people, showing that we're here to extend a helping hand when challenges arise," Jimenez added.

During the Galing DITO CampX, BSU students also had the chance to enjoy interactive booths and learn more about DITO's mobile prepaid, postpaid, and home products, including other over-the-top (OTT) services.

"The typhoon left devastated hearts, but on the other hand, we're glad to see the ‘Bayanihan’ spirit and strong community resilience, especially in the eyes of the students. We're also thankful for DITO's support; it increased the morale of our students, and the funds provided essential support to the victims of the typhoon," said Ran Drick Kenneth Umali, SSC President of BSU.

BSU students were all smiles during the school caravan.

The Galing DITO CampX also recently went to Ateneo De Davao University, giving students access to non-stop entertainment and an opportunity to learn more about DITO's mobile and home products that suit their needs.

Enhanced technological support in Naga City

Meanwhile, in Naga City, DITO also provided technological support to aid the relief operations of typhoon Kristine's aftermath.

DITO supported the local government by providing mobile phones with SIM cards and load, which call line operators used. DITO also deployed several booths with free calls, WiFi access, and charging stations in Barangay Dayangdang, Lerma, and Triangulo.

Moreover, the local team also conducted immediate speed and network assessment, ensuring smooth and augmented network signals around the city.

"In times of crisis, connectivity is essential for emergency response and families to stay connected with their loved ones. We extended technological support in Naga City, ensuring reliable communication and internet access. We hope that these humble contributions aided relief efforts and facilitated efficient communication around the city," Jimenez said.
