It couldn’t get better than this

AS a budding de-veloper, Escandor Development Cor-

poration (Esdevco) leaves nothing to just sweet words and rosy promises.

Raised from a con-glomerate that exists in a culture of results rather than mere blueprints, Es-devco goes by the byword of walking one’s talk and practicing what one preaches.

So don’t be surprised when just about every month, there is something happening around The Matina Enclaves. From breaking ground to laying the time capsule, to bless-ing the main entrance, to opening model condo units and now, inaugu-rating the first completed house inside The Court-yard of the vast mixed-use development, everything just keeps going and go-ing for this amazing piece of real estate.

With the first mod-el house called Braun, The Matina Enclaves has moved ahead of its own timelines to provide cli-ents a look and feel of the signature project of this home-grown developer

whose business bloodline includes The Royal Man-daya Hotel and Davao Se-curity and Investigation Agency (Dasia)—indus-try leaders in their own right.

There are three house models at TME, the other two being Sepia and Gen-ta.

“These are house mod-els which puts premium on functionality without scrimping on design and details. It’s sophisticated and yet simplified,” said Gerald Garces, project di-rector of The Matina En-claves.

Pretty soon, Garc-es said, The Courtyard will be filled with house units. “It’s fast emerging as what we conceived it to be. We are working al-most 24 hours a day but carefully making sure no stone will be left un-turned.”

For the earth-toned Braun model house, the lot area covers 159 square meters and has three bedrooms each equipped with toilet and bath and fitted with wardrobe cabinets. The well-appointed house

has spacious living room, functional kitchen and dining areas and a ser-vant’s room to boot at the ground level.

Couched right in the heart of Davao City and accessible to major shop-ping malls, schools and golf course, Matina En-claves is a 5.3-hectare de-velopment project with three residential options: The Plains (a one-hectare open lot development), The Courtyard (one-hect-are pocket development offering 40 house and lot units) and The Enclaves Residences (medium-rise condominium project).

“It’s a perfect haven for returning OFWs and retirees wanting to make Davao City their home,” Garces said.

What tops it all? The cost.

For all the distinct features and advantages of owning a slice of this masterpiece, clients of The Matina Enclaves have thus far been amazed by the value of their invest-ment vis a vis the cost. No wonder, it’s selling as fast as it shaping up to com-pletion.

Raised from a conglomerate that exists in a culture of results

rather than mere blueprints, Esdevco goes by the byword

of walking one’s talk and practicing what one preaches.

ESDEVCO President Glenn Escandor leads the house blessing of the Braun unit model with wife Mik-Mik, brother Gerome, mother Violy and Fr. Elvie Bordios.

WORLD CLASS RETIREMENT COMPLEX. Philippine Retirement Authority – Davao Satellite Office (PSA -Davao) head Jaime B. Llames shows the per-spective of the proposed ‘The Healing Garden of Asia’ owned by Carlos Var-gas' World Class Retirement Complex Inc. A 5-hectare retirement facility that

could provide medical and health care, and new home for foreign retirees who wants to live in the city. The construction of this facility may start early of 2015 as this should be completed in two years. Armando B. Fenequito Jr.

RETIREMENT – it’s that stage in life where things slow

down a bit and leisure and family time take over the daily grind of work.

One of the places that many retirees, especially foreigners, choose to stay is Davao City. According to Philippine Retirement Authority–Davao Satellite Office (PSA-Davao) head Jaime B. Llames, many for-eign retirees who come to the city eventually decide to live here for good.

“They are (retirees) the ones who see that Davao City is really a good place to live,” Llames said in an interview with Edge Davao.

He said these retir-ees have already gone to other places in the Phil-ippines before deciding to stay in Davao City.

“Like the other day, I assisted a foreigner who already lived somewhere in Luzon. In fact his part-ner is from Region 2, from Tuguegarao City. But they did not settle there be-cause their final decision is to settle here in Davao City,” he said.

Llames said one of the biggest factors that make foreign retirees choose the city is the peace and order situation because they perceive that the city government has the polit-ical will to combat crimi-nality.

He said the foreigners also see that the people of Davao City are disci-plined.

Llames said foreign

retirees also like the com-plete tourist attractions the city has like beaches and mountain destina-tions.

PSA-Davao has record-ed more than 700 foreign retirees living in the city. Most of these are Chinese, South Koreans, Japanese, Americans, and Arabs.

Llames said there would be more influx of retirees in the coming years as soon as the con-struction of the retire-ment complex in Catigan, Toril is completed.

He said World Class Retirement Complex, Inc.

will build a five-hectare proposed retirement complex called “The Heal-ing Garden of Asia.” The project is owned by Car-los Vargas World Class Retirement Complex Inc.

The initial plan of Var-gas was a hospital health-care facility for foreign retirees that would be serviced through their health insurance abroad. Most of the retirees usual-ly have problems in their healthcare while living in the country because most of the hospitals did not accept their insurance.

However, Llames sug-

gested to Vargas to make the project an integrat-ed retirement complex where aside from provid-ing medical and health care, they will also have their home in the retire-ment facility.

“I proposed for them to coordinate with the Japanese government, which they are already doing now,” he said.

Llames said the two-hectare of retirement complex will be allotted to the hospital. There will be a six three-story build-ing hospital which has complete state-of-the-art

facilities.The facility will also

have advance communi-cation technology that the clients can use to commu-nicate with their loved ones abroad.

The other three hect-ares of the retirement complex will be allocated as village type housing where the retirees can settle down for good.

Llames said the proj-ect received an award in the Global Over 50s Hous-ing Awards as “Most Out-standing Retirement Plan in Asia for 2014” on No-vember 9-16 in London.

THE many desirable attributes of North-point have made it

a popular home choice of homebuyers, from young professionals to success-ful businesspeople, new-lyweds, young families, OFWs, and expats. Now it’s also attracting those looking to live their senior years in comfort and con-venience.

As a retirement hav-en, Northpoint has many things to offer retirees who want to live a relaxing yet vibrant lifestyle. They will find this British colo-nial themed condo com-munity everything they wished for in a retirement haven.

Proximity. Retirees living in Northpoint will find it easy to go to their desired locations from home. Whether it’s pay-ing bills, having a doctor’s appointment, attending mass, or buying groceries, getting there is fast and easy as they are near.

That’s because North-point is located at the junction of two major city streets, Buhangin Road and JP Laurel Avenue, Ba-

jada. Public transportation is available just outside the condo property, or they can simply call a cab and it will get to their con-do building fast.

Healthful home envi-ronment. Northpoint of-fers them a beautiful and healthful environment. They can lounge within the comforts of their con-do home while looking out the wide windows to appreciate the greenery before them. The view is unlike anything they will see in the city because Northpoint has hundreds of imported Caribbean pine trees growing all over its grounds.

Should they wish to en-joy the outdoors, it will be a fresh, pine-scented am-biance that will surround them when using the jog-ging trail. Pocket gardens, age-old Acacia trees, and profuse plant life will greet them each time they take a leisurely walk. With all the greenery around them, they enjoy fresh ox-ygen year-round.

Leisure and enter-tainment. Retirees look forward to enjoying their

NORTHPOINTThe home retirees look for

senior years, hence they look for a place to live where opportunities for leisure and entertainment are plenty. Northpoint is nestled at the heart of north Davao’s growth area, where the business, commercial, and shop-ping district is found.

They can dine out ev-ery day of the week, even twice a day if they like, at any of the numerous restaurants, bistros, del-is, and coffee shops only a few minutes away from Northpoint. They can watch the latest block-buster movies at the cin-emas, have a massage, or shop at the malls and shopping centers nearby.

Wine lovers will be thrilled to do wine-tasting at the White House Asian Fusion Restaurant and Wine Cellar on top of the hill beside Northpoint’s

entrance, or at another restaurant with a wine cellar a few minutes away.

Amenities. Retirees don’t even have to go out to have a great time because Northpoint has deluxe amenities at the clubhouse called Wake-field Manor. There’s a wellness pool with sa-linated water, a fitness gym, cabanas, grill pits, and a multi-function hall where they can meet and chat with their neighbors and friends. There’s more good news—Wakefield Manor will soon be im-proved and expanded to accommodate more ame-nities for the convenient use of the homeowners.

No maintenance worries. When retir-ees live in Northpoint, they don’t have to worry about outdoor mainte-nance such as cutting

grass, watering plants, fixing roofs, or cleaning the pool. Northpoint’s property management takes care of the over-all upkeep of the condo property for them.

Security. Retirees can rest easy that they are safe and sound with-in the confines of North-point, and that should they decide to lock up and leave for a short trip or a long vacation, their homes are secure with the round-the-clock se-curity measures man-aged also by the property management team.

Clearly, Northpoint is the best home for retir-ees to enjoy their life. To know more about North-point, visit the Camella offices at Delgar Building (fronting Northpoint), JP Laurel Avenue, Bajada, or call 226-3011.

IN the 1980s, Davao City earned the notorious distinction as “Asia’s

murder city.” When Ro-drigo Duterte became the city mayor, it became as one of Asia’s most livable cities. Curiously enough, both sobriquets were giv-en by the now defunct Asi-aweek magazine. Yes, it is now one of the country’s most peaceful cities.

Recently, a website (ikwaderno.wordpress.com) made a thorough research, data gathering and analysis on 122 cities of the country. It wanted to know which cities pro-vide the “best living con-ditions.” Five broad cat-egories were considered for computation: stability (25%), culture and envi-ronment (25%), health care (20%), education (10%), and infrastructure (20%).

The website used the European Intelligence Unit procedure to deter-

mine the livability of each city. In addition, it gave the following consider-ations: financial perfor-mance, population den-sity, availability of public and private hospitals, availability and quality of public health service, environment conditions, availability of sports and development programs, calamity-safety index, tourist attractions, cul-tural and commercial ties, availability of public and private educational sec-tors including their per-formances.

With a rating of 84.804, Davao City came out second (after Bacolod City, which has a rat-ing of 85.183). This was what the website wrote in its final analysis: “In the early 2000s, Davao City has been recognized as the most liveable city in the Philippines but in recent years, it has been outranked by the other

fastest growing city in the Philippines. Davao City ranked 87th fastest growing city in the world by the City Mayors Foun-dation and the 10th Asian City of the Future by the FDI Magazine.

“It is the most import-ant financial and trade center and the richest city in Mindanao, thus the nickname the ‘Crown Jewel of the South.’ It is the fifth best performing city financially, the sec-ond best city that caters the tourist with best natu-ral attractions, the fourth producer of young profes-sionals, the ninth city in having the most cultural and commercial ties here and abroad, the first in the calamity safety index and the third in having the best infrastructure among the cities in the country.”

The findings may be debatable but another website, toptens.com, list-

So you want to retire in Davao City?By HENRYLITO D. TACIO

ed Davao City as fourth – after Iloilo, Metro Cebu, and Bacolod.

But whether first, sec-ond, third or fourth, Davao City earned some obser-vations from those who visit the aforementioned website. One said: “Davao was recently named the fourth safest city in the world due to its low crime rate. It is the fourth most populous city in the coun-try and the fifth richest. With its unique emergen-cy response system, you can call 911 in whatever situation you are in. The city is known for its tight security and strict imple-mentation of the law. It is also known to be the ‘fruit basket of the Philippines;’ from the exotic durian and mangosteen to one of the most exported prod-uct of the Philippines, ba-nana, you will find all of them here. Davao is the regional center of Davao Region and the de facto capital of Mindanao due to the presence of many government agencies and top corporations in the country. Some countries have also put consular offices in the city just like Czech Republic, Indone-sia, Malaysia, Japan and Palau. The US embassy also opened a virtual con-sulate operated by some universities in the city.”

Another one com-mented: “Davao City is one of the most livable cities in Asia. It has a very low percentage of crime. It is not only typhoon-free but so far has not been visited by a huge typhoon or any great disaster. But

one this is sure: Davao City has a very delicious and a very cold clean wa-ter.”

Still another one raved: “I agree that Davao City is the best (city) to live. This city has a lot of potential and opportu-nities; it is very nature friendly city and a very huge city. I almost can’t explain how beautiful to live here; I’ve been study-ing for almost three years and I experienced to live this kind of city.”

Here’s an observation of one visitor who voted for Davao City: “(It is be-cause it is) as one of the safest city in the Philip-pines. The crime rate is low. Taxi drivers are well monitored by the local government. I noticed when I was in Davao and hired a taxi from Davao International Airport, one of the men handed me a paper to write on regarding the behavior of the taxi driver and the fare he asked. Of course on that piece of paper, in-formation where to send is included. It is really amazing. The taxi drivers could not charge as what they want.”

With such accolades, isn’t it great for this city to be the retirement place? Let’s listen to Bob Mar-tin, an American who has lived permanently in Min-danao. He used to reside in General Santos City but he opted to transfer in Davao City. “I have lived in Davao City for almost five years now,” he wrote in his website, liveinthep-hilippines.com. “All I can say is that I love it here! I believe that Davao City is the best place to live in the Philippines. I have talked to other ex-pats liv-ing here, and they all feel the same way too.”

Mr. Martin is the pub-lisher and editor-in-chief of the Live in the Philip-pines Web Magazine. In the said website, he gives some examples on why living in Davao City is a great thing to do:

• “We are outside the typhoon belt, no typhoon has ever hit Davao City.• “It is rare to even have rain during the day, but it rains prob-ably 250 nights per year, after dark. Ev-

erything is green and lush, yet you get to enjoy the sunshine al-most every day.• “You can literal-ly have brunch at the beach, then spend the afternoon on the coun-try’s highest mountain on the same day!• “While the city is large, it is not crowded like Manila or Cebu. In terms of size, Davao City is the largest city in the world! Yet, the population is small enough that you don’t have traffic problems and such.• “We are a big enough city that you can readily get west-ern foods and other items that an ex-pat would desire to make your life more com-fortable.• “If you are think-ing of going to Baguio for the weather, we have that here too! Just a short trip of an hour and you are in Bukidnon, up in the coolness of the moun-tains! There have been times in years past when it has been so cool in the mountains of Bukidnon that there was ice on the road!• “While Davao enjoys many of the amenities that you will find in large cities like Manila, the prices here are much lower than Baguio or Manila! You can live here for about 1/3 of the price that the same lifestyle would cost in Manila!• “You can be any-where in the Philip-pines in less than 2 hours with a cheap flight from Davao In-ternational Airport. For under $100 you should be able to fly to any destination in the Philippines! Bagu-io airport has always had problems with flights – short runway, tough path to the air-port, etc. – and flights to Manila are not daily. From Davao to Manila, there are at least a half dozen flights per day, on 4 different air-lines!”

So, if you are not from Davao and planning to re-tire, why don’t you choose Davao City?


EDGEDAVAO

HUNDREDS, if not thousands, of for-eigners have de-

cided to retire in Davao City. This phenomenon is shown by the growing number of Japanese, Ko-reans, Americans, British and other caucasians in their 60s one can see in many parts of Davao, re-putedly the biggest city in the country. This, despite the absence of a formally established retirement haven in the city.

How can one explain this growing phenome-non? Edge Davao talked to some foreign retirees who gamely enumerated a surfeit of practical rea-sons why they decided to reside in the city for the rest of their lives.

Take the case of Har-old Thomas Kelleher, an engineer, who has a bach-elor of science degree in chemical engineering and a master of science in electrical engineering, and is married to Rita, a Filipina.

Comparing two cit-ies

“I grew up near Bos-ton and the center city is small one can you from one end of the center city to the other in less than in less than one hour of driv-ing. Even though the land area of Davao is huge, the center of the city is small and one can say it is one of the safest cities in the world,” Harold said.

“The fact that almost everyone in the city speaks English is a tre-mendous help to Amer-icans who want to live here,” he said.

World class heath-care

Kelleher said one can “get world-class health-care here in Davao and it’s orders of magnitude cheaper here than in the USA.”

Dabawenyos are friendly, he said, adding “the hospitality here is matched no place else on the planet.”

Cost of living “The cost of living here

is lower by far than com-pared with the States,” ac-cording to him. “The same amount of money goes much farther here in the Philippines,” he said.

“Davao has the city, oceans, beaches, moun-tains and it is all nearby,” he said.

Scott Nimmo, an an-imal doctor who’s been around the world before getting married to Rho-dora, a pretty industrial engineer from Davao del Norte, a slightly different take.

“No foreigner ever comes to Mindanao or Davao City by chance,” according to him, adding that the main reason we settled here is the person who brought us here.”

He said very few for-eigners are here on busi-ness, fewer still are here for whatever personal reason they may have. “But most of us arrive here through personal relationship,” he bared. “Paradoxically, this can end up being the best of things or the worst of things.”

“Once settled, I soon realized that the treasure of the Philippines is not BMW cars or gold bars buried by the Japanese during the war, it is the

friendly and courteous disposition of the people. Most Filipinos are friend-ly, tolerant, and welcom-ing,” he wrote.

“Sure an odd problem can occur but this is rare and sometimes is in some way the fault of the for-eigner or due to a culture clash,” Scott said.

Nimmo marveled at the locals’ family tradi-tions and religious values which he described to be strong.

“Children are brought up to show respect, ed-ucation is prized, things that can be sadly lacking elsewhere in the world,” he said.

Personal safety and security

Few would believe this back in Europe or America, but I personal-ly feel safer here than on the streets of the UK, ac-cording to Nimmo, saying “people in Davao have a strong sense of law and order so as long as you exercise some basic com-mon sense a foreigner can wander all over the city at any time day or night.”

“I stopped doing this in London some 10 years before I left,” he said.

Warm climate, less pollution

“The climate is warm, there is no chill in my bones as there was back where I came from, the food especially the fruit can be world class, there is less pollution here in Davao than in other plac-es and the beaches of Sa-mal and the mountain re-sorts are close and easily accessible.

Like Kelleher, that American engineer, Scott,

the vet, also marveled at Davao City’s cost of liv-ing. He said cost of living is very low compared to other countries and the cost of property can be lower still, we can often have help in the house if we wish. You may think these very good reasons to be here and perhaps they are for some, but for me but without the first four reasons I have listed above they can end up being somewhat mean-ingless, Scott said.

WHY do most D a b a w e n y o s who now reside

abroad want to come home for vacation during this time of the year?

EDGE DAVAO asked this question to balikbay-ans , some Dabawenyos who are travel and tours operators and at least some tourism officials who must studied the pattern through the years.

Susan Palad, a travel and tour leader of long standing, said balikbayans come home primarily to enjoy the company of loved ones. Usually, they come home for family and class reunion. Some do commu-nity or civic work for the less fortunate of our breth-ren (a cousin will be doing this for typhoon Yolanda). A great majority, specially the senior citizens, come home to get away from the harsh winter season and soak in the warm sun and water on the local beaches, Susan said.

Eden L. David, a rank-ing regional officer of the Department of Tourism, agrees with Susan that

many balikbayans are mo-tivated by high school class or family reunions. Fili-pinos are a lot happier to celebrate here compared abroad. We love to cele-brate, eat, drink and frolic in beaches, adding that “culture makes a lot of dif-ference.”

Another compelling reason for coming home is the usual medical and dental checkups which are a lot cheaper than abroad. They time this with the long Chistmas breaks from work.

Pia Montano, former president of Davao Asso-ciation of Tour Operators (DATO) attributes the phenomenon to the way Filipinos celebrate Christ-mas. Dabawenyos or Fil-ipinos in general always look forward to coming home to family during this season. “Some employers acknowledge how import-ant Christmas season is for Filipinos so they give their employees the time off to come to their families,” Ms Montano said, adding that many balikbayan really save just to come home (probably not annually be-cause tickets are not cheap during this season). Many of them hanker to experi-

ence the family tradition like Noche Buena, Misa del Gallo, Simbang Gabi to be present during reunions usually slated during this season.

Tourism Asec Art Bon-cato said that Christmas is most meaningful with immediate and extend-ed families “Christmas is about going home for the holidays for Filipinos. It’s almost a ritual for renew-al, rejuvenation, of being grounded, “ he said.

“It is also an oppor-tunity to check a vet on investment or business opportunities,” he said. Many Folipino also en-joy observing and expe-riencing how beautifully,

dynamically and peaceful Davao has grown in leaps and bounds,” the Tourism official said.

Maricris Lu, a nurse who used to be a television reporter before migrating to California, said in her Faebook account that she would love to come home to Davao to see her family, friends and former col-leagues in the media. “Our rich culture in celebrating Christmas is unequalled here,” she said.

Aurelyn Nasis Henry, who now stays in Steu-benville, Ohio said that nothing bets Davao City as the best place to be during Christmas vacation. The good time that you spend

with family makes you for-get you are poor and have humble beginnings.

City Tourism Officer Li-sette Marques said Davao is always the best place to come home anytime of the year. Visiting Davao on Christmas is like com-ing home to a full house Dabawenyo relatives. The hustle and bustle doesn’t dampen the spirit commu-nity. The Christmas spirit within each Dabawenyo is very much alive. Christmas in Davao nowadays is a lot different because of the Pasko Fiesta, a concerted effort of the city govern-ment and the private sec-tor to make Christmas more meaningful and en-joyable.

Journalism Raquel Ba-gnol who now writes from Saipan, said enjoys very much coming home due to the street food and the firecracker’s ban.

Robert Borje, anoth-er former television per-sonality who now works as a consular official of the Philippines in Ameri-ca said he wouldn’t trade Davao City with any other place and for anything.
