Better Signal, More Experiences: Festival Mall Steps Up Connectivity and Lifestyle Offerings

Filinvest Land and Pag-IBIG Fund have teamed up to make homeownership more accessible to Filipino families by combining Pag-IBIG’s home-financing programs with Filinvest Land’s nationwide housing portfolio. Under the partnership, qualified homebuyers can access preferential financing rates, special discounts, home furniture packages, and other incentives on select Filinvest Land units, subject to applicable terms and program guidelines. The collaboration supports the government’s Expanded 4PH Program while giving qualified Pag-IBIG Fund members more options to own quality and affordable homes across participating Filinvest Land developments. Filinvest Land President and CEO Tristan D. Las Marias said the partnership could help more Filipino families move closer to owning their own homes. “Our partnership with Pag-IBIG Fund allows us to help more Filipino families move closer to owning a home by giving qualified buyers access to financing options and incentives across select Filinvest Land developments,” Las Marias said. “By supporting the Expanded 4PH Program, we hope to contribute to the government’s efforts to widen access to quality and affordable housing while giving more Filipinos an opportunity to build a home of their own,” he added. Through the partnership, Pag-IBIG Fund’s financing programs will complement Filinvest Land’s nationwide housing platform, allowing qualified buyers to explore participating developments based on applicable program requirements. The partnership was formalized through a memorandum of understanding signed by Pag-IBIG Fund CEO Marilene C. Acosta and Las Marias at the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development Central Office in Quezon City. DHSUD Secretary Jose Ramon Aliling, who also chairs the Pag-IBIG Fund Board of Trustees, witnessed the signing and welcomed Filinvest Land’s participation in the government’s Expanded 4PH Program. “Under President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s Expanded 4PH Program, we have already made significant gains in bringing more affordable housing opportunities within reach of Filipino families, and we are building on this momentum. By working more closely with the private sector and bringing more of the country’s leading developers into this shared effort, we can open even more opportunities for our people. With more reputable companies now partnering with Pag-IBIG Fund, Filipino workers will have more housing choices supported by affordable financing and better opportunities to own a home,” Aliling said. Pag-IBIG Fund CEO Marilene C. Acosta said the partnership brings together Pag-IBIG Fund’s affordable financing programs and Filinvest Land’s housing developments to provide members with more accessible homeownership options. “With Filinvest Land as our partner, we can bring together affordable Pag-IBIG financing and quality homes at better prices for our members. Pag-IBIG Fund has raised its housing loan limit to ₱10 million and introduced lower promotional rates, and we hope to complement these with preferential prices and meaningful offers from Filinvest. By working together, we can give our members more choices and more practical means to take that next step toward owning a home,” Acosta said. For Filinvest Land, the agreement provides another avenue to bring its residential developments within reach of more Filipino families, particularly qualified Pag-IBIG Fund members looking for accessible homeownership options. The collaboration also strengthens Filinvest Land’s efforts to broaden access to its residential developments by providing Filipino homebuyers with more financing options and incentives designed to help bring homeownership closer within reach. Also present during the signing were Pag-IBIG Fund Deputy CEO for Marketing, Product Development, and Sales Cluster Alexander G. Aguilar and Avon D. Valderrama, head of Filinvest Land’s Residential Business Unit.

(FLI), one of the country’s leading full-range property developers, achieved a monumental industry milestone today, clinching a rare and prestigious triple triumph at the Philippines Real Estate Awards 2026. FLI was named Best Developer in Metro Manila, Best Developer in the Visayas, and Best Developer in Mindanao. This historic sweep is a powerful validation of a legacy built on consistency and deep market trust. The Visayas distinction marks Filinvest Land’s consecutive reign as the region’s premier developer, while its triumph in Mindanao extends an extraordinary triple-year winning streak. Together, these accolades reflect a rare industry standing: a nationwide developer capable of setting the gold standard simultaneously across the country's most dynamic urban cores and fastest-growing regional frontiers. Beyond Building: A Blueprint Rooted in the Filipino Dream This unprecedented triple crown is more than an institutional accolade—it is a reflection of a profound commitment to how real estate should ultimately serve people. At Filinvest Land, winning across all three major island groups mirrors a deliberate, customer-centric philosophy: meeting every market on its own terms to fulfill the ultimate mission of building the Filipino dream. “Every market possesses its own distinct character, aspirations, and rhythm of life. That is why we never apply a one-size-fits-all formula,” said Filinvest Land President and CEO Tristan Las Marias. “Winning across Metro Manila, the Visayas, and Mindanao in one sweep means we are successfully answering the diverse needs of the Filipino family. Whether it is bringing urban professionals closer to career mobility in the capital, fueling regional economic vibrancy in the Visayas, or pioneering modern, master planned community living in emerging Mindanao destinations, our true north remains unchanged: creating places that seamlessly connect living and livelihood, opening up enduring opportunities, and putting homeownership within reach.” Shaping Progress from the Capital to the Regions Filinvest Land’s nationwide triumph is grounded in developments that directly enrich the everyday lives of its residents: undefined Robust Operational Momentum and Residential Performance in H1 2026 This recognition coincides with sustained financial and operational momentum for Filinvest Land. For the first half of 2026, the company's core residential business demonstrated significant strength, reinforcing consolidated revenues of P12.57 billion, and yielding a 4 percent year-on-year increase in net income to P2.21 billion. Market confidence was further reflected in a 50 percent year-on-year expansion in reservation sales to P12.50 billion. This growth was anchored by steady, sustained demand across both ready-for-occupancy (RFO) inventories and strategically positioned residential developments. These mid-year financial metrics underscore the efficacy of FLI's disciplined growth strategy, demonstrating consistent alignment between residential demand and the company's long-term corporate objectives.
