Bali Oasis: Investing in peace of mind

MANILA, Philippines - Career Internship Abroad president and CEO Renato Bueno and his wife travel a lot, mostly for business purposes. With their college-age kids left to fend for themselves at home, the Bueno couple thought of ways to ensure the safety of their children.

One solution was to invest in a home that promises utmost security and convenience. So when the couple purchased a unit at Bali Oasis on Marcos Highway, they got what they wanted and a lot more.

Filinvest Land Inc. developed Bali Oasis as part of the Oasis series, a community of mid-rise residential buildings offering the necessities of modern living while providing round-the-clock security and comforts of suburban living. The development features resort-style amenities that rival the splendor of popular holiday spots, such as an elegantly designed swimming pool, gazebos, a clubhouse with function rooms and play areas for children.

“We used to own a house and lot in Cubao,” Bueno narrates. “But we always worried about the safety of our kids. Here in Bali Oasis, the kids can socialize and enjoy the amenities within a safe environment.” 

Living in a secured community like Bali Oasis gives Bueno assurance that his family will be safe, knowing that the tight, 24/7 security is consistently enforced. Guards man the complex round-the-clock and all visitors undergo strict screening. “I can sleep with peace of mind,” shares the father of the house.

Another Bali Oasis resident, businesswoman Menchie Francisco, agrees. “The residents here are very confident with the security. A neighbor even leaves her school-age kids alone at home. After school, the bus drops them near the guard station in their building where they play until their mom arrives,” she narrates.

Apart from security, both Bueno and Francisco also rave about the convenience of owning a home in a strategic location. Bali Oasis fronts a major thoroughfare, Marcos Highway, which is plied by various modes of public conveyance. Jeepneys and shuttles bound for different key points in the metropolis and surrounding districts are aplenty. The community also fronts the Santolan station of LRT2.

“Commuting is easy. This is especially advantageous to my children who are studying in CEU and Ateneo,” Bueno explains.

He also points out that they are just minutes away from malls. “We have so many choices — SM Marikina and the recently opened SM Masinag. Or we could opt for Sta. Lucia East or Robinsons Metro East,” he enumerates.

Another plus factor is the community’s proximity to Cubao, which for him, is a vital spot in Metro Manila.

“We all love nature. I love the cool, fresh air. It’s very breezy here, especially in the afternoons,” shares Bali Oasis resident Menchie Francisco.

But Bali Oasis is not Bueno’s first investment with Filinvest. “It’s actually my third Filinvest property,” he discloses. Bueno’s loyalty to the developer stems from his favorable experiences with the company. “The best thing about Filinvest is that every detail of the contract is fulfilled,” he says. “From the first stages up to the last, buyers are assured that the property they are buying will be developed as per contract agreement.”

Bueno’s high recommendations were generated by his close supervision of the unit’s construction. “I brought this at pre-selling and oversaw the construction of the units. I personally inspected the building so I can truly attest to the (high) quality of this project,” he reveals.

Meanwhile, Francisco says she has also invested in other real estate properties. “I have other Filinvest assets and a high-rise residential unit from another developer,” she notes. But she admits Bali Oasis is still her favorite because of its nature-inspired design. “We all love nature. I love the cool, fresh air. It’s very breezy here especially in the afternoons.”

All in all, both Francisco and Bueno are convinced that Bali Oasis is a good buy. “Good design, well-maintained units all rolled in an affordable package from an established developer... Bali Oasis in indeed a wise investment,” says Bueno.

“Considering its features and location, plus it’s carrying the name of a well-known developer, its price is very reasonable,” Francisco says.

Bali Oasis highlights the growing portfolio of Oasis communities, which include One Oasis Ortigas, Cebu and Davao, Hawaiian-inspired Maui Oasis, Italian-inspired Capri Oasis and Sorrento Oasis in Pasig — a testament to the company’s commitment to provide a secure, modern and refreshing haven that modern urbanites truly deserve.
