Soon to rise: P115-Million Socialized Housing Condo in Cebu City for informal settlers

Leading developer in VisMin Cebu Landmasters, Inc. (CLI) recently signed an agreement with the Cebu City government to donate a well-planned, in-city housing for informal settlers of Barangay Lorega-San Miguel, Cebu City.

The P115 million project offering 100 condo units on a 1,350 square meter property accessible to employment opportunities was planned in collaboration with the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD). The project will be completed in a year.

Representing the three organizations at the signing and groundbreaking ceremony on June 18 were CLI chairman and CEO Jose Soberano III, Cebu City vice-mayor Michael Rama, and DHSUD Secretary Eduardo del Rosario.

The Medium-Rise Building (MRB) Tenement Housing project will have five storeys and will be the first and tallest socialized housing project to be owned by the government in the Visayas and Mindanao. Located in Barangay Lorega-San Miguel, the project is within walking and biking distance to Cebu City’s business districts.

The units will serve as transition housing for informal settlers along rivers, creeks, the sea and other danger zones. Beneficiaries will be selected by the Department of Welfare for the Urban Poor and Local Housing Board in compliance with the city’s Local Shelter Ordinance.

Meanwhile, CLI’s nominated contractor Zumyrphil Construction has planned that during the development stage, green building practices will be engaged to ensure that the project will be friendly to the environment.

The units have been planned to allow adequate ventilation and will have sun baffles on its balconies to provide shade during the hot hours of the day. Planters have also been provided for each of the units to accommodate greeneries. These will compliment a green wall which will be the focal point of the building façade.

Common areas like hallways and stairwells will be powered by renewable energy from solar panels while a sewage treatment plant will ensure liquid waste management.

Each of the units from the second to the fifth floors will have a gross floor area of 25 sqm., larger than the 22 sqm. required for socialized housing units. The MRB Tenement Housing project will form part of CLI’s socialized housing commitments in adherence to the Balanced Housing Development Program.

“CLI’s goal to help fill the VisMin housing gap includes well-planned projects for the marginalized,” said Soberano. “At the same time, this project allows us to assist and give back to the City of Cebu where we have deep roots.”

The project will include open spaces, parking areas, a chapel, and a multi-purpose training hall where livelihood training can take place. It will also be provided with ramps to benefit PWDs and senior citizens.

Café Ipil-Ipil: An elevated dining experience in Cebu City

Are you looking for some fresh air away from the city, a unique dinner experience, or just a place to have a good time? Enjoy all three at Cafe Ipil-Ipil, a hole-in-the-wall (or on-the-hill) kind of diner which is sure make your dinner a delight!

Cafe Ipil-Ipil along Cebu Transcentral Highway offers diners a refreshing experience of eating among the trees and under the stars. Their tables are set in a sloped clearing on the side of a mountain and in the midst of tall trees. This setting gives off a vibe of being immersed in the forest and one with the mountain. The tables, chairs, and benches made of bamboo, rattan, and different types of wood further add to the feeling of being one with the woods.

Diners can choose to sit higher up the slopes to enjoy a breath-taking backdrop of the mountains of Barangay Pulang Bato while eating. Imagine being served scrumptious food while admiring such an amazing view. Now, that’s something not a lot of places offer!

While there’s a feast for your eyes, the cafe also serves food and drink perfect for all kinds of company. Whether you’re out with friends, eating solo, or spending a romantic evening with your partner, you’re sure to enjoy their hot meals and fresh fruit smoothies. They even serve several cocktails that will spice up your evening even more, and if you’d rather stay off the alcohol, you can refresh with their Ipil-Ipil mocktails.

Should you decide to eat here (and you really should!), it helps to know that this next-level experience does not come with a high-level price range. Their food and drinks are all affordable – ranging from 20 to 100 pesos only per order. You can get a full meal with drinks for just under 200 pesos!

They say that the days are short in the mountains. Sure enough, nighttime comes quicker thanks to the trees and the shade from the mountain itself. However, Cafe Ipil-Ipil has already made sure you’ll still enjoy your meal after the sun has set. The lightbulbs and string lights around the cafe make sure it’s bright enough for diners to eat, walk around, and even take pictures. If anything, the cafe transforms from breath-taking in the day to cozy at night.

La Rita Floating Cottage: Swim and chill by the the sea of Bantayan Bay, Cordova

Hop onboard and let your stresses drift away on La Rita’s refined take on a floating cottage! Their spacious cottage has a huge floor area and offers guests a lot of room to move about while bonding with friends or family at sea.

The cottage is almost as big as a house, and is comprised of a dining area, the deck, a pool, and a comfort room.

The dining area has one long table in the middle with 5 wide benches surrounding it. Notably, there’s a lot of legroom to go about, which makes it easy to walk through without stumbling into the furniture or other people. The dining area is particularly perfect for boodle fights and finger-food snacking.

Beside the dining area is the deck of the cottage. It’s a wide area for walking, sitting, and gazing into the sea. Then, conveniently installed in the middle of the deck is the swimming pool. Now, in every barkada, there’s always that friend who’s afraid the ocean or the friend who can’t swim. The pool is the best fit for that friend who wishes to swim in absolute safety. It is an area lower than the deck cottage that allows water in, making a safe area where one can dip or paddle around without worry!

The cottage is purely open air, which means the scent of the sea and the spray of the saltwater freely passes through all areas of the cottage. This makes such an immersive time at sea and really brings you into the moment. At this point, you may wonder where one can get some privacy when nature calls. Fret not, as La Rita’s also has a fully functioning comfort room that doubles as a dressing room. With that covered, you are free to enjoy more of their amenities like the hammock installed onboard, and swimming with their free-to-use life vests.
