| Work Detail | Pueblo de Panay (PdP), a multi-billion flagship project of Pueblo de Panay, Inc. (PdPI), is poised to change the landscape of Roxas City, Capiz. Cementing its role as the pioneer in countryside development in Panay, PDPI launches its 500-hectare mixed-use, Filipino-inspired township called Pueblo de Panay not only as the live-work area of choice, but more importantly as a center of economic and social progress in the province. Pueblo de Panay rides high on Roxas City being named an “emerging location for IT-BPM investments in the Philippines” by the Information Technology and Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP). Assessed using the Next Wave Cities scorecard, Roxas City earned high points in talent availability, presence of infrastructure, good business environment, and cost competitiveness. “Pueblo de Panay has all the makings of a progressive center of trade, tourism and commerce in Northern Panay. It is a ‘city within a city’ that has different land uses, zones and support facilities that can attract foreign and domestic tourists and various stakeholders,” said Jose Nery Ong, president and CEO of PdPI. Ong, also president and CEO of the Capiz ICT Council, and his team have been planting the seeds for Roxas City’s future. For instance, the city today not only has fiber optic telecom facilities in place, but also boasts of a good talent pool for BPOs. Pueblo de Panay’s township concept is proof of PDPI’s growing reputation as an “innovator” in Northern Panay. A contiguous property that is being developed into a mixed-use integrated community, with 7.4-hectare parcel given a PEZA license as a technopark, it is planned to eventually include future locators such as a university, a hospital, a four-star hotel, a food terminal complex, and themed residential communities, foremost of which is Sitio Uno, the first premiere vertical mixed-use condominium in Capiz. Sitio Uno will feature 20 luxurious commercial units for lease and 88 residential units. Foreseen to create a ripple effect in the economy of Roxas City and nearby municipalities, as well as to provide opportunities in the countryside, Sitio Uno recently got the nod of the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) which extended a multi-million million loan to finance its construction. |
