Savannah celebrates 12 years, evolves into a city!

MANILA, Philippines - For 12 years, the cozy and charming lifestyle of the deep American South found a home amidst the heritage of Iloilo. On more than 300 hectares of verdant land, spread over Oton, Pavia and San Miguel in the historical province on Panay Island, Vista Land – the country’s premier homebuilder – has begun and continuously finds a new way to live, a new way to fulfill one’s dreams in Iloilo.

It’s called Savannah ­– and over the years it has bloomed into the next big thing in Iloilo, steadily evolving into an elegant new city with all the graciousness of the southern state of Georgia.

Savannah has beguiled the gentle Ilonggos for a dozen years, becoming the place where many of them have chosen to have their dream homes and nourish their families.

This evolving new city, Savannah City, celebrated 12 years of success with a month-long anniversary that ­ kicked off with a motorcade around the community and its environs. The September anniversary activities focused largely on promotion of health, sports and corporate social responsibility: there were a night run, a series of football tournaments, mountain bike race, medical mission and other charity events, food fest, concerts sponsored by the homeowners’ associations, and, to spice things up, “Camella’s Got Talent” ­– an event already popular in other Camella communities that showcases the special talents of the residents.

But the focal point of the entire celebration, and the culmination of the celebration, is the unveiling of the plan that promises Savannah becoming the “next big thing” in Iloilo. This integrated master planned community will afford its residents the perks, privileges, and pleasures of becoming a city-type development. 

Unveiling the next city in the Visayas.

Savannah City is the flagship project of Vista Land in the Visayas and a prime example of Vista Land’s comprehensive style of integrated master planning. 

Beyond its six residential enclaves and the amenities each offers, the property already has its own school, the Georgia International Academy, offering from primary up to fourth year high school or tenth grade. Homeowners can walk their kids to school, enjoying an encouraging chat along the way. They can also bike to their daily classes, leaving you secure in the knowledge that they’re safe and nearby; and with classmates who are also their neighbors, they can create friendships and bonds that will last a lifetime. 

Beside Georgia International Academy is its famous FIFA-standard football field – a tribute to the Illongos apparent love for football. It was inaugurated last Jan.8, 2012, by the Azkals’ James and Phil Younghusband, who, beyond being the guests of honor, taught the aspiring young football players basic techniques of the game.
