Landco allots funds for
residential, mall projects

By Darwin G. Amojelar, Reporter

LANDCO Pacific Corp., the property unit of Metro Pacific Corp., has allotted billions of pesos over the next two years to fund its residential and mall projects.

Jose Ma. K. Lim, Metro Pacific president and chief executive officer, told The Manila Times that Landco set aside P2 billion for its capital expenditures.

Lim said the capital will fund projects in Catalagan, Batangas; the Villa Escudero in Laguna with 500 hectares; a residential project in northern Manila; and a mall in Naga City.

Earlier, Francis Cebelles, Landco assistant vice president, said the Calatagan project, estimated to cover 100 hectares, will have residential and commercial components, including a resort.

The Villa Escudero project involves developing some 500 hectares as a tourist destination.

“[We’re going] to develop the 400 hectares around it, because the 100 hectares is occupied by Villa Escudero. Probably we will call it the Villa Escudero [and] will be a tourist destination,” Alfred Xerex-Burgos Jr., Landco president and chief executive officer, earlier said.

Lim earlier said the Villa Escudero project is in the final stage of planning, adding the project is comparable to existing first-class subdivision projects outside Metro Manila.

In the first nine months of last year, Metro Pacific posted an after tax profit of P100.9 million from the previous year’s net loss of P75.3 million.

The nine-month profit last year resulted from improving operations at Landco and shipping unit Negros Navigation Co., as well as certain exceptional gains realized during the period.

Consolidated revenues rose 12 percent to P2.5 billion compared with P 2.2 billion reported for the same period in 2004, principally reflecting revenue improvement at Nenaco.

[nikki_18]

i can here bout that too....

wat i knw is that it will be a new subdivision in pacol, naga city..that will be near the foot of mt. isarog.....but im not sure yet....

and i think they already started developing the area for the subdivision...

subdivisions in the city are really sprouting anywhere like mushrooms..but the concentration of most subd r the pacol area and concepcion area...

[[dx]]

hi nikki! wala pa ba new recruits from naga?

(kunyari ako si matt.. ) as of now, LCC p lang..it's way bigger than LCC legazpi, but far too small for pacific mall legazpi..we'll have to wait for SM and pacific mall to operate in naga..heheh..

as for robinsons supermarket in naga, it's the anchor of local Nagaland Emall..

yeah, that's what i know, too.. i found that in the community forum of naga.gov.ph, which also i am a member of..i checked it out on the net, at totoo nga..but i'd say mas maganda ang offerings ng landco pacific for their PM naga than SM naga..ang problema nga lang yung location nila..malayo sa CBD 1..


----------

sayang..i can't show you any pic of avenue square..ang ganda na niya..sabi nga ng mga tao dito, parang greenbelt yung style..eh kasi naman, yung architect eh yung gumawa ng greenbelt!!heheh..kaya lang hindi pa fully operational..matagal ng open yung max's..ang ganda talaga..

Hi Everybody, this is my first time. i already read most of your reply. This site is very nice compare to the groups in Naga.gov.ph , you can share without any hesitancy. I have been to Europe last 2002, and have visited Madrid and Barcelona (the center of Arts in the European Community) i was really excited to learn Spain, but other than that. i reminds me of Naga City. i can say, that The Holy Rosary Minor Seminary, the metrolopitan cathedral, the quince marteres plaza, old penafrancia church, archbishop palace, and USI are very similar places in Madrid and other parts of Spain. If you have the chance to go to Spain. You will find Naga not far from the Spain. Naga have a very rich culture, base on our roots in Spain. this will help us to promote Naga for tourism here and aboard. you can ask our dear Bicol Historian-Mr. Danny Gerona(Professor of Ateneo de Naga Univ.).he had been to Spain most often. and do research in Sevilla, Spain about Naga. And you can also visit this site about our Naga( Nueva Caceres) Catholic heirachy since 1795. it gives you idea about our history. why we are one of the main cities during the spanish times including Cebu establish a diocese same with Naga, nueva Segovia( ilocos sur) and Manila.

the site is http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/dccrs.html

LET US HELP PROMOTE NAGA FOR TOURISM

this is all for now, we can have more discussion about the city...

i felt glad wen u started to talk about your trip to spain....its so nice to know that you saw so many comparisons of spain and naga...it overwhelmed me that a beautiful city in spain is being compared to naga.

actually there are really many areas in naga that looks very spanish..

and basing on my knowledge, naga is one of the first 5 cities in the phil..so its not so surprising that we have a lot of historical landmarks and very old architecture in the city... the newly built church in the ateneo campus also looks very old and beautiful in its baroque architecture...there are also alot of spanish houses in the city, but sad to say many are already abandoned and left by owners to deteriorate through time and become eyesores....nd more disappointing the city dont care to revive these century old houses...

i just hope that the city government will develop this areas for tourism and at the same time protect, care and rehabilitate them so that futere generation will be able to see enjoy it....

if legaspi has mayon, why dont we develop and promote this historical landmarks and very old architecture as one of the primary attraction in the city....plus the veery old and rich culture of bicolanos...
