"Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to." John Ed Pearce An intimate luncheon for their friends was recently hosted at the South Forbes Bali Mansions by indefatigable Cathay Land president
Jeffrey Ng with
EJ and
Tess Litton. After a sumptuous and filling lunch catered by Astoria Plaza Suites, everyone was taken for a guided tour of the model units. With prominent interior designers
Cynthia and
Ivy Almario designing the interiors of the
Coralia and
Lovina model units, the guests were visibly impressed with everything they saw.
The exclusive community is indeed shaping up as the neighborhood of everyones dreams. As one of the guests remarked, having good friends as your neighbors and golf buddies South Forbes offers a free golf membership to the 18-hole South Forbes Golf Club is another good reason to enjoy the relaxing ambiance of Bali Mansions.
