NCR to edge Tokyo in investment prospecting
Published on 08 December 2012
Written by Madelaine B. Miraflor Reporter



Metro Manila rose to rank 12 in the top investment prospect rankings, one grade behind Hong Kong and an edge over Tokyo, according to the Urban Land Institute’s (ULI) report “Emerging Trends in Real Estate Asia Pacific.”



In the report, it was mentioned that from rank 20 in 2011 and rank 18 this year, Metro Manila is poised to claim no. 12 next year as one of the top investment prospects for businessmen.

“Sentiment reflects a shift to alternate markets as concern rises over high prices in core markets,” the report said.

Also, Colin Galloway, who presented the report, said that Manila is rising among real estate investors and developers, reflecting a shift to alternate markets in Asia as concern rises over high property prices in China’s core markets.

Of the 22 markets included in the report, Manila is ranked no. 11 for investment prospects and ninth for development prospects, which represents a rapid rise from near the bottom of the rankings in previous years’ polls.

“Manila has performed well in the past couple of years as a result of the growing economy, a transparent and business-friendly government, and the country’s ongoing success in attracting foreign corporate clients to its business process outsourcing facilities, which account for approximately 70 percent of new office occupancies in Manila,” Galloway said.

The report added that while steady economic growth, rising incomes, and stable or increasing property values are all contributing to positive real estate investor sentiment across Asia Pacific, Emerging Trends notes that this outlook is tempered by concerns that prime assets in key markets are becoming overpriced.

“With high rents, high capital values, low yields, and an abundance of local capital, many international investors are struggling to see attractive investment opportunities in Asia Pacific’s prime real estate markets,” said ULI trustee and North Asia vice chairman Richard Price.

“As a result, investors are expanding their horizons as they seek compelling investment opportunities. Some are looking at frontier markets such as Indonesia, while others are revisiting often overlooked capitals such as Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok, which explains the strong showing for these locations in this year’s report,” he added.

ULI is a global non-profit education and research institute supported by its members. Established in 1936, the institute has nearly 30,000 members representing all aspects of land use and development disciplines.

Stars of Manalo biopic said to be ‘chosen ones’
By Marinel R. Cruz
Philippine Daily Inquirer
December 12, 2012


ALBERT Martinez, Richard Gomez and Bong Revilla at the press con for “Ang Sugo.”

The actor-politicians in the star-studded film “Ang Sugo: The Last Messenger” said they have agreed to work on the film for free, but clarifying that it was not in exchange for votes from members of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) in the coming 2013 elections.

The INC, which is producing “Sugo,” is known as a powerful voting bloc in Philippine elections whose members comprise 2 percent of the total voting population.



Impressed

“While I do hope to get the INC’s support, what made me agree to work pro bono was the film’s content,” said Richard Gomez, who is running for mayor of Ormoc City in Leyte province. His wife, Ormoc City Rep. Lucy Torres-Gomez, is up for reelection.

The actor, who will play the late INC founder Felix Y. Manalo, said he was impressed when the story was presented to him.

What’s more important to me is its historical value and the message it wants to convey,” Gomez explained. “People will get to understand how the INC struggled as an independent Christian church.”

‘An honor’

Bacoor City Rep. Lani Mercado, who is also seeking reelection in 2013, concurred with Gomez.

“When we sat down with INC leaders, we never talked about how our involvement with the film would affect our candidacies,” said Mercado, wife of Sen. Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr., who will play current executive minister Eduardo V. Manalo.

Mercado’s son Jolo intends to run for vice governor of Cavite.

“Ka Eduardo insisted that we collect our talent fee even if we already said we’re willing to work for free,” revealed Mercado, who will play Ka Eduardo’s wife in the film. “We said that just to become part of this huge undertaking is already an honor for both of us.”

Choosing the cast was a tedious process, director Tikoy Aguiluz said. “We had to present to the council of elders a list of names, which it either approved or disapproved. My greatest fear then was that they would force me to hire only actors who are INC members, but that didn’t happen. I even ended up with a star-studded cast.”

Aguiluz began working on the project six months ago. He imagined “Sugo” to look like the epic biographical film “Gandhi,” released in 1982.

Writers’ pool

“I can’t think of a contemporary movie that could serve as its peg,” he said. “Although I’m curious to see ‘Lincoln,’ which is Steven Spielberg’s dream project. The difference of ‘Sugo’ will be that Spielberg focused only on one portion of Abraham Lincoln’s life and made a movie out of it.”

Journalist-INC member Arlyn de la Cruz leads the pool of writers working on the screenplay. “They’re interviewing the surviving members who were Ka Felix’s contemporaries. This involves oral history. At the same time, they are also collecting materials from various documentaries on the INC.”

The director said the challenge for him is to have “Sugo” screened at the soon-to-be built INC arena in Bulacan that could accommodate 70,000 people. “I want to be very careful with every detail. I don’t want to be humiliated in front of all these people. That’s why instead of asking for a bigger budget, I requested for more time to do this. We will spend six months in research and story development, then another six months for shooting. The rest will be allotted to post-production work.”

A-list cinematographer

Aguiluz also requested for “an A-list German cinematographer” to join his team. “I will have top people, both local and foreign, to work for me as DOP (director of photography). The look of the film is very important. We will first shoot five days before the Holy Week (in April 2013)—mostly big scenes—then resume after the elections.”

Asked whether the film would also tackle the controversies involving the INC, Aguiluz said: “Of course, since they were really persecuted and experienced harassment at one point. As for present-day issues, we have yet to work on that part of the script. I have zero knowledge of the material. I’m just absorbing everything now. I’m glad they chose to hire nonmembers to work on this. This ensures that it has no bias and is not made only for propaganda.”

“Ang Sugo (The Last Messenger)” will be shown in July 2014 to coincide with the celebration of the 100th anniversary of INC. Albert Martinez will play the late executive minister Erano G. Manalo. It will also feature Gladys Reyes, Christopher Roxas, Richard Quan and Snooky Serna, among others.

LOLOLOLOLOLL

[manila_eye]

According to a friend from INC, sky is the limit daw ang budget for that movie since this is intended for their 100th Anniversary. Plus si Tikoy Aguiluz ang director. Some people will view this as propaganda but I'm sure this will be an epic movie compared to the ones released by our local productions.

Nanunuod din ba kayo ng Storyline? Okay sya no? Like, it actually encouraged me to think for myself and didn't try to influence me. A first for a local show. Though I've only seen 3 or 4 episodes.
