MANILA, Philippines - Tall, slender palm trees bend with the breeze to wave visitors a warm welcome to one of Davao Del Norte’s most vibrant cities. Indeed, the rows of hundreds of Royal Palm trees greening the major thoroughfares along with different varieties of plant life blossoming in the plazas, schools and public spaces has rightfully earned for Tagum City the title “Palm City of the Philippines.”
But beyond the greens, Tagum offers a long list of reasons to be excited about living in the city, first of which is its rapid economic progress. Located at the crossroads between the rural areas of Davao del Norte, Compostela Valley and Metro Davao, it is Mindanao’s fastest-rising urban city because of its strategic location. It was elevated into a first class city in 2008 – only the second to be so in the region. With the economic progress came structural development. Visitors today marvel at the rise of commercial establishments, educational institutions and medical facilities that service Tagum’s growing population.
Tourists have also been taking advantage of the inherent musicality of Tagum. On its calendar is the Musikahan Festival, a week-long cultural event every February 21 to 27 that celebrates the Tagumeños excellence in musical composition, performance and production. After reaching national prominence, this year marks its breakout in the international scene, as the city hosted the 3rd International Rondalla Festival, with participants coming from US, Asia and Europe.
Camella, the first national real estate company to create themed communities in Mindanao, continues to honor its pledge to provide quality homes for every Filipino family with the launch of Camella Tagum. Indeed, the prospect of making a life in Tagum has become more attractive with the development of this community that truly responds to the needs of a fast-rising urban city.
“As Tagum emerges from a rural to an urban community, its needs also evolve together with the changes in their way of life. Camella Tagum ensures that residents benefit from a home and a quality of life that is in sync with the standard of living that urban cities elsewhere in the country enjoy,” said Jerylle Luz C. Quismundo, President of Communities Philippines.
Communities Philippines is the marketing and corporate vehicle by which Vista Land offers residential properties outside the Mega Manila area. It has been building houses and developing communities in the provincial areas in the affordable, middle and upper mid income segments under the Lessandra, Camella and Crown Asia brands respectively.
The new development, set against the mountain range of Mindanao, offers quality homes designed with contemporary architecture and replete with conveniences that a modern family in a growing urban community would need. Apart from affordable and stylish homes within a gated community, it offers a safe and secure neighborhood with open spaces that are safe for children to play in. A guard house and a perimeter fence add another dimension of protection in an already very secure property.
Camella is the subsidiary catering to the mid-market segment of Vista Land & Lifescapes, the country’s largest homebuilder. It has over 36 years of experience, built more than 250,000 homes and maintains a strong presence in Mega Manila and 21 other key provincial destinations and 48 cities and municipalities, while aggressively expanding to other regions.
