A recent Colliers Philippines review highlights the Bay Area as one of Metro Manila's emerging retirement destinations, pointing to its accessibility, mixed-use developments, healthcare ecosystem, and improving infrastructure as key factors driving its appeal.
More importantly, the report reflects a broader shift in priorities. Today's retirees aren't simply looking for a home – they're looking for communities that support the way they want to live.
Landco Lifestyle Ventures (LLV) recently gathered partners, patrons, and friends of the brand at the historic John Hay Golf Club for the LLV Golf Invitational , a weekend that affirmed what the company has long believed: that the best relationships, like the best rounds, are built one deliberate stroke at a time.
The Invitational unfolded as a true weekend experience rather than a single-day tournament. Guests were welcomed the evening prior with arrival cocktails at The 19th T at the Forest Wing of John Hay Hotels, where the crisp Baguio air and easy conversation set the tone for the days ahead. Tournament day followed on the fairways of John Hay Golf Club, one of the country's most storied courses, where players competed in a spirit of camaraderie befitting the setting.
