Brentville: Foresight & Insight forum

One of the most compelling topics which is top-of-mind in the business world nowadays is the question of economic resiliency and the future of real estate in the Philippines.

Brentville International, a high-end residential product located in Biñan, Laguna, is an example of a Filinvest Land Inc. project which has successfully broken the political and economic barriers which have beset the country since the onset of the Asian crisis.

Brentville has become an excellent residential option for expat families and locals whose children attend the Brent School. It is a wonderful community of different communities, each one gated and beautifully landscaped in Filinvest tradition. A few months ago, the Brentville Clubhouse was inaugurated, giving residents a venue for social or family gatherings by the pool.

Inspired by calls of the business sector for institutions and individuals to keep the wheels turning despite present hurdles, Brentville International has organized an exclusive forum among its potential investors and friends.

Scheduled Oct. 22, from 6 p.m to 9 p.m. at the Filinvest Penthouse, BPI Card Center, Paseo de Roxas, Makati, the forum is entitled: "Foresight and Insight.

Well-known real estate consultant and appraiser Bobby Sy will talk about current trends and opportunities in the real estate industry. Sy is currently the president of the Philippine Association of Realty Appraisers and has been a licensed realtor for the past 13 years and a licensed real estate appraiser for six years now. With an impressive set of credentials which includes a diploma in Land Use Planning, and a candidate for an M.A. in Urban and Regional Planning, Sy’s technical savvy will be generously shared with his audience.

During the discussions, Sy will cover aspects related to investment management, particularly in real estate, and he will act as moderator to ensure that the insights of the foreign community, business development officers of well-known commercial establishments and other authorities on the subject will be carefully integrated and disseminated.
