Why Las Piñas Home Buyers Are Moving to Elevated, More Connected Communities

By

SMDC’s Twin Residences responds to the real needs of South-based buyers—from young professionals to families and OFWs—looking for a more practical, everyday upgrade.

For many people living in the South, the decision to buy a home is no longer just about ownership. It’s about solving everyday challenges.

For many people living in the South, the decision to buy a home is no longer just about ownership. It’s about solving everyday challenges.

Time spent on the road. Adjusting daily routines around traffic. Wanting more privacy while staying close to family. These are the real considerations shaping how people choose where to live today.

Because of this, more homebuyers are starting to consider a different kind of option—homes that make daily life simpler, more manageable, and more predictable.

This is why elevated, integrated communities are becoming more appealing.

Well-planned interiors at Twin Residences are designed for functionality and comfort, supporting modern, practical urban living.

For young professionals, the goal is simple: to have their own space. After years of living with family or sharing rooms, they are ready for independence. More importantly, they want a home that helps them keep up with their daily schedule—closer to work, easier to move around, and with less time lost to long commutes.

For young couples, it’s about starting life on the right footing. They are not looking for something extravagant, but for something that works—a home that is easier to maintain, closer to where they need to be, and supportive of their everyday routine. Something they can build on without added stress.

For parents, the thinking is both practical and emotional. Many are investing in a unit for their children or family members so they can live in a place that is more accessible and easier to manage day to day. It’s about peace of mind—knowing that even if they are not always there, their loved ones are in a better setup.

There is also a growing number of buyers who see this as a smart investment. Local investors are looking for properties that are easy to rent out and located where people actually want to live. Developments that are connected, accessible, and practical tend to sustain stronger demand over time.

For OFWs, the decision is more personal. Many want a home they can come back to—a place that still feels familiar but offers a better way of living. Something they can prepare for their family or for their future, without having to second-guess the location.

Across all these buyers, one thing is clear: people are no longer choosing based on price or size alone. They are choosing based on how a home can make everyday life easier and more secure.

This is where SMDC’s Twin Residences comes in.

Built on the idea of “Twin”—two towers in one address—it offers a more practical kind of upgrade for South-based buyers, focused on what matters most. More than just a place to live, it is designed to support everyday life through better planning, accessibility, and a stronger sense of safety.

It delivers a level of ease that comes from being elevated—where daily disruptions are less felt and routines are more consistent. It offers better access, located along a main road that connects residents to key areas in the South. It also provides a more secure living environment, with controlled access and managed spaces that give residents and their families added peace of mind.

This is captured in its promise: “Twice the Life You Deserve.”

In simple terms, it gives more where it counts:

More ease in everyday living.
More access to where you need to be.
More peace of mind for you and your family.

For many buyers in the South, that difference is exactly what they’ve been looking for.

South Metro Demand Shifts Toward Practical Living, with Sucat Emerging as a Key Residential Hub

By

-
Bloom Residences sits conveniently near Skyway and SLEX, bringing the metro within easy reach.

Accessibility, infrastructure, and everyday convenience drive growing interest in Parañaque’s Sucat district – where developments such as SMDC’s Bloom Residences are responding to evolving residential needs.

As urban living continues to evolve, homebuyers are increasingly prioritizing practicality over prestige—placing greater value on accessibility, proximity to essential services, and the ability of a location to support everyday life efficiently.

In South Metro Manila, Sucat in Parañaque is emerging as one of the residential areas benefiting from this shift.

Strategic Location Driving Demand

Real estate observers note that locations offering balanced access to business districts, transport infrastructure, and daily essentials are becoming more attractive to both end-users and investors. Sucat’s strategic position—supported by direct access to major road networks such as the South Luzon Expressway and the Skyway—places it within convenient reach of key destinations including Alabang, Makati, Bonifacio Global City, and the Mall of Asia complex.

Established Essentials Strengthening Livability

The area is also supported by established institutions, including healthcare facilities such as Medical Center Parañaque and Asian Hospital, as well as educational institutions and commercial centers that contribute to long-term livability.

Infrastructure Supporting Long-Term Growth

Infrastructure developments further reinforce the district’s growth trajectory. Ongoing and planned projects, including the Cavite–Laguna Expressway (CALAX), South Luzon Expressway Toll Road 4 (SLEX TR4), and the LRT Line 1 Cavite Extension, are expected to enhance connectivity across the south corridor and support property value appreciation over time.

Developments Respond to Changing Lifestyles

More than an entrance, the Bloom Residences lobby is a space that welcomes you home.

Developments within the area are responding to these evolving preferences, SM Development Corporation (SMDC) continues to develop residential communities that prioritize both accessibility and quality of life. Among these is Bloom Residences by SMDC Nature, a residential community designed to provide open spaces, lifestyle amenities, and a setting that balances urban convenience with a more relaxed environment.

A Focus on Wellness-Oriented Living

Bloom Residences’ outdoor lounges offer a peaceful escape right within the community.

The development incorporates amenities such as swimming pools, multi-purpose courts, jogging paths, and landscaped open spaces, reflecting a broader trend toward wellness-oriented living environments.

Positioned for the Next Phase of Growth

Industry analysts point out that as Metro Manila expands, areas like Sucat—where infrastructure, accessibility, and community features converge—are likely to play a more significant role in shaping the next phase of residential growth.

Practicality as the New Standard

As demand continues to shift, practicality is emerging not just as a preference, but as a defining factor in how Filipinos choose where to live.

Presented at Gallery C in collaboration with Art Lounge Manila, the new exhibition explores women’s resilience and beauty through 20 mixed-media works that reflect the strength found in imperfection.

Conrad Manila, in collaboration with the Art Lounge Manila, proudly launches the 40th edition of its celebrated Of Art and Wine series “Creases,” a compelling new exhibition by multidisciplinary artist Meneline Wong, M.D., now on view at Gallery C. Curated by acclaimed art expert Nestor Jardin, the collection features 20 mixed-media works that explore themes of women’s resilience, growth, and the enduring strength shaped from life’s imperfections and experiences.

“Conrad Manila, shaped by Hilton’s culture of empowerment and inclusivity, recognizes the remarkable contributions and impact of every woman across our business and in every sector, including the arts,” said Rupert Hallam, general manager of Conrad Manila. “Through this latest installation, we invite our guests and patrons to experience a thoughtful tribute to the vulnerabilities and imperfections that ultimately give women their depth, character, and enduring beauty.”

Featured artist Meneline Wong and her collection entitled “Creases”

Creases features 20 mixed-media paintings, each reflecting the enduring strength and quiet courage of women. Through layered textures and expressive forms, the artworks suggest that the “creases” running through each piece are not flaws, but symbols of the struggles, sacrifices, and silent battles carried with grace.

Meneline Wong shared, “If we focus only on the creases, just as society often fixates on women’s supposed imperfections, we miss the fullness of the story. But when we step back, we see that these very creases give the artwork its character and beauty. In the same way, a woman’s beauty does not lie in perfection, but in the courage to rise through adversity. The creases don’t diminish her, they define her.”

The ribbon cutting ceremony was graced by esteemed guests, including Peggy Angeles, Executive Vice President of SM Hotels and Conventions Corporation; Susanne Tiausus, Guest of Honor and Managing Director of Art Lounge Manila; Alyssa Valdez, Guest of Honor; Rupert Hallam, Conrad Manila’s General Manager, and featured artist Meneline Wong. 

All artworks are available for acquisition. For inquiries and more information, guests and art collectors may contact +632 8833 9999 or email Conrad.Manila.info@conradhotels.com.


Salmon Bank Reports Superior 2025 Results: Strong Growth Across Deposits, Revenue, and Assets with Sustained Profitability

By
PhilSociety
-

Salmon Bank (Rural Bank) Inc. today reports a superior performance in 2025, delivering strong growth across key financial metrics, built on strong capital position, as more Filipinos place their trust in the fast-growing, tech-centric challenger bank.

The bank’s customer base doubled over the past year, while total deposits grew 2.8x signaling growing consumer confidence in Salmon Bank’s AI-enabled banking model. This strong deposit momentum supported significant year-on-year growth of the bank’s balance sheet by end of 2025:

  • Total loan portfolio of strongly profitable and diversified small-ticket retail loans expanded by 2.5x;
  • Net Interest Margin is at 40%, surpassing industry average for rural banks, thrift banks, and digital banks;
  • Total assets grew 2.2x to 4.4 billion;
  • Gross revenue increased by 2x; and
  • Gross non-performing loan (NPL) ratio remained steady at 2%, well below Rural Bank industry benchmarks from the BSP.

This strong 2025 performance were the result of a combination of Salmon Bank’s disciplined approach to risk management and the rapidly growing retail lending opportunity it addresses. 

Strengthened Capital Base

Further reinforcing its growth trajectory, Salmon Bank is in the process of increasing its equity capital to PHP1.6 billion upon the completion of fresh capital injection of PHP 400 million from its controlling shareholder, Salmon Group Ltd. The capital injection is expected to complete by April 2026.

The additional funding strengthens the bank’s equity base, giving it significant headroom to expand its customer-focused financial product offerings and making it one of the best capitalized banks among tech-centric challenger banks in the country.

“Our 2025 results reflect growing customer confidence, strong business performance, and our commitment to responsible banking,” said Raffy Montemayor, Co-Founder of Salmon and Chairman of Salmon Bank. “With our superior capitalization, we’re well-positioned to continue our momentum of sustainable growth, as we deliver high-value, AI-enabled banking services that meet the evolving needs of Filipinos,” he added.

Democratizing High Yield Savings

To support its rapidly growing portfolio of high-yield retail loans, the bank offers highly competitive time deposit rates to its depositors. Salmon Bank now offers 6% p.a. interest rate on time deposits of as low as PHP5,000. Meanwhile, customers with a minimum deposit of PHP1 million can enjoy an interest rate of up to 8% p.a. on time deposits. 

Salmon Bank is majority-owned by Salmon Group Ltd.  Salmon Group is a global financial technology group backed by world-class investors, including International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group; the sovereign wealth fund and asset managers out of Abu Dhabi; and leading U.S. venture investors.

Mindanao Unveils First CBFT School: A Scalable Model for Resilient Education

Mindanao proudly inaugurated its first sustainably-constructed school today at Landan Elementary School in Polomolok, South Cotabato.  This pioneering project, in partnership with Dole Philippines, AY Foundation, Mahintana Foundation, Armed Forces of the Philippines, and the local government of Polomolok, marks a significant stride in building resilient and environmentally conscious education infrastructure. 

The 175-sqm, two-classroom school building was constructed using BASE’s proprietary Cement-Bamboo Frame Technology (CBFT) combined with a bamboo truss system.  This innovative design offers safer, more sustainable, and disaster-resilient learning spaces. Designed to meet the Department of Education’s (DepEd’s) standards, each classroom also doubles as an evacuation center during typhoons, reflecting a proactive approach to community safety.

The initiative is a core component of the Adopt-A-School Program (AASP), a classroom development program funded by Dole Philippines and A.Y. Foundation, Inc.  The AASP aims to uplift grassroots tri-people communities in the upland areas of Sarangani and South Cotabato Province by improving academic performance through enhanced access to quality education.

“This project demonstrates what can happen when we combine innovation, partnership, and a shared sense of purpose,” said Dole Philippines Senior EVP and FPG President, Masazumi Nishikage.

Added April Evangelista of RCBC, representing A.Y. Foundation, added: “This classroom is more than a structure.  It is a symbol of hope, sustainability, and shared commitment to education.  Built with care and purpose, this represents a future where learning spaces are strong, inclusive, and rooted in community collaboration.”  

The school building was built by the Philippine Army’s 549th Engineer “Kapayapaan” Battalion, 6th Infantry Division, showcasing a powerful multi-sectoral collaboration in fostering climate-smart schools that empower communities. The partnership was formalized with a Memorandum of Agreement signed on October 1, 2025, during the groundbreaking ceremony.

“The inauguration of Mindanao’s first CBFT school is a testament to what we can achieve when innovation meets dedication to community and environment,” said Engr. Luis Felipe Lopez, BASE General Manager. “We are not just building classrooms; we are building a more sustainable future. This technology offers a scalable solution to the nation’s classroom backlog, providing resilient, eco-friendly structures that also boost local economy. We invite more government agencies and organizations to join us in making this vision a global reality.”

CBFT structures undergo rigorous testing against typhoons, earthquakes, fire, and insect infestations, ensuring exceptional durability. Beyond resilience, CBFT school buildings demonstrate that sustainability and robust construction can coexist. Lifecycle assessments show that bamboo-integrated construction can reduce embodied CO2 emissions by up to 70% compared to conventional concrete systems, significantly contributing to climate action.

“Improving access to quality education for our upland IP communities is central to the Adopt-A-School Project,” stated Liza Duropan-Lopez, Executive Director of Mahintana Foundation, Inc. “This CBFT school provides a safe learning environment and serves as a beacon of hope and resilience for our tri-people communities, reflecting our commitment to inclusive development.”

The Philippines faces a staggering nationwide classroom backlog of approximately 165,000 classrooms, a challenge that could take decades to address at current construction rates. Experts suggest building at least 7,000 classrooms annually for the next 15 years to substantially bridge this gap. CBFT offers a viable, innovative solution to this urgent need.

DepEd Education Program Supervisor, Michael Poblador expressed gratitude, stating, “We are incredibly grateful for the collaborative spirit that brought this pioneering Cement-Bamboo Frame Technology school to fruition in Mindanao. This initiative directly addresses our urgent need for more classrooms while providing safe, sustainable, and climate-resilient learning spaces for our students. We commend BASE Bahay Foundation and its partners for showcasing an innovative solution that holds immense potential for scaling across the Philippines, helping us build a more robust and future-proof education infrastructure.”

The versatility of CBFT extends beyond school buildings. This technology, accredited by the Accreditation of Innovative Technologies for Housing (AITECH) by the National Housing Authority, is also suitable for non-residential structures like community centers, offices, industrial facilities, and commercial buildings. This demonstrates bamboo’s significant potential as a flexible and sustainable construction material for diverse infrastructure needs.

BASE, through its implementing partners, has already completed four (4) school buildings with two (2) more under construction, and another 2 upcoming projects across the Philippines, reinforcing its leadership in bamboo construction. Globally, BASE has built over 2,300 CBFT structures, sheltering more than 10,500 individuals and achieving over 40,000 tCO2 savings. Furthermore, CBFT supports local farmers by establishing a value chain, creating livelihood opportunities, and upskilling workers through technical training, fostering a more sustainable future for all.

Urban Farming Comes to Condo Living with SMDC Nature’s “The Good Grow”

By
PhilSociety
-

For many city residents, growing food at home has long felt like a luxury reserved for houses with gardens and backyards. But at SMDC Nature’s Vine Residences, residents recently discovered that growing food at home does not require a backyard or a large garden. Sometimes, all it takes is a small pot, a handful of soil, and the willingness to start.

In a recent sustainability initiative called The Good Grow, SMDC Nature—SMDC’s residential segment centered on nature-inspired living—introduced urban farming to condominium living, showing residents how herbs and vegetables can thrive even within compact urban spaces.

Held as a hands-on workshop within the community, the program guided residents through the basics of planting, nurturing, and harvesting edible plants suitable for condo environments. From basil and mint to leafy greens, participants learned how a few pots, a simple soil mix, and consistent care can transform small corners of a home into productive green spaces.

The initiative reflects SMDC Nature’s broader commitment to creating communities that encourage healthier, more mindful ways of living.

“For many people, sustainability can feel like a big concept,” said Susan G. Nicdao, Vice President and Head of the SMDC Nature Segment. “But sometimes it begins with something very simple, such as planting herbs in your own home, cooking with something you’ve grown yourself, or sharing seedlings with a neighbor. Those small acts make sustainability real and personal.”

Nicdao added that, moving forward, an urban garden will form part of SMDC Nature’s standard project deliverables, reinforcing the company’s commitment to integrating sustainable practices into everyday community living.

Beyond the environmental benefits, the workshop also brought residents together in unexpected ways.

Participants exchanged planting tips, compared seedlings, and shared ideas on how to maximize their small condo spaces for gardening. Conversations that began with soil and seeds quickly turned into neighborly exchanges—demonstrating how shared activities can strengthen a sense of community within residential developments.

One Vine Residences homeowner shared that the experience changed her perspective on condo living.

“I always thought gardening was something you needed a yard for,” she said. “But after seeing how easy it is to grow herbs on a balcony, I realized you can create a little garden anywhere—even in the city.”

For Jica Sy, Vice President and Head of Design, Innovation, and Strategy at SMDC, initiatives like The Good Grow highlight how residential developments can support more intentional lifestyles.

“Today’s homeowners are increasingly drawn to spaces that allow them to reconnect with nature, even within an urban setting,” Sy explained. “When residents start growing herbs on their balconies or exchanging harvests with neighbors, sustainability becomes something they experience firsthand.”

Participants of the workshop also received The Good Grow starter kits, which included planting pots, soil medium, seed packets, and a beginner-friendly guide designed specifically for condominium environments.

Vine Residents learn the basics of planting and nurturing edible plants during The Good Grow workshop, discovering how even small condo spaces can support sustainable, homegrown produce.  

Following its launch at Vine Residences, SMDC plans to roll out The Good Grow to other SMDC Nature communities, including Field Residences, Grace Residences, and Style Residences, bringing the initiative to more residents who want to incorporate small but meaningful green practices into their daily lives.

In cities where space is often limited, programs like The Good Grow demonstrate that sustainability does not always require sweeping change. Sometimes, it simply begins with a pot of soil, a handful of seeds, and the decision to grow something at home.                                                                                                                                  

About SMDC Nature

Why “Nature”? Because that’s what it brings back into people’s lives — space to breathe, room to grow, and time to reconnect.

SMDC Nature reflects our commitment to creating communities where nature is not a design element — it’s part of daily life. This is where families wake up to greener surroundings, walkable open spaces, and homes that feel quieter, calmer, more grounded. From solar panels to rainwater harvesting, every community under the SMDC Nature segment is built with sustainability at its core. Plant nurseries, herb gardens, and energy-efficient building systems aren’t upgrades — they’re part of the blueprint.

Add to that thoughtful touches like pet parks, senior-friendly walkways, and accessible design for persons with disabilities. What you get is not just a place to live, but a place that lets you live well.

Located in key cities and growing suburbs, SMDC Nature offers homes that are close to essentials — SM malls, schools, transport — but with more sky above, more green around, and more room to just be.

At its heart, SMDC Nature is built on one belief: A well-lived life isn’t rushed. It’s rooted.
