  • Mendez, Cavite: Discovering the Real Estate Potentials of an Unfamiliar Town

    “For many travelers, being thrust into an unfamiliar place returns them to a purer state of being.”

    Mendez is part of the third Growth Area, under the Cavite Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan 2021 – 2030, known as Metro Tagaytay or the Tourism Haven and Food Basket of the Province. This third Growth Area is composed of Indang, Amadeo, Alfonso, Maragondon, three other municipalities, and one city, which will be featured in subsequent articles in the following weeks.

    This is the fifth part of the series where we explore each LGU belonging to the Metro Tagaytay area. We share our experiences as we travel and visit the Metro Tagaytay area in the past to inform you of the interesting facts, business opportunities, and the state of the real estate in each LGU.

    According to Wikipedia, Mendez is a 4th class municipality located in the southern part of the province of Cavite, Philippines. It is the smallest town in the Metro Tagaytay area in terms of land area – which is approximately 22 square kilometers. It is bounded to the north and east by Indang, to the South by Tagaytay City, and to the West by Alfonso.

    While it may be the smallest town in upland Cavite, and less renowned as other tourist destinations like its neighbors to its South, Mendez has plenty to offer to its almost 35,000 residents and interested real estate investors seeking bargain deals. Here are some fascinating facts about Mendez, Cavite.

    Official Name and History: Mendez is officially known as the Municipality of Mendez-Nuñez. It was originally known as “Gahitan“, one of the many barrios of Indang during the Spanish era. The name was derived from the word “gahit” meaning “to cut“, because the people then had to cut down tall and thick cogon grass that abounded in the place to clear areas for agricultural and residential purposes.

    The history of Mendez, according to Wikipedia, says that when the houses in Gahitan increased in number the sitio graduated to become a barrio and finally a full-fledged town on 1 December 1875, thanks to Governor-General Jose Malcampo y Monje (1874-1877). Governor Malcampo incorporated the three barrios of Gahitan, Palocpoc, and Anuling into one independent municipality called Mendez-Nuñez, after a Spanish naval officer and close friend, Commodore Casto Mendez Nuñez.

    Pedro Aure was the gobernadorcillo of Mendez during its first year as a municipality in 1876. Cayetano Aure, perhaps a relative of Pedro, was the first and only capitan municipal of Mendez during the First Philippine Republic (1899-1901).

    Mendez continued to be a municipality from 1875 to October 15, 1903, when, under Act No. 947 of the Philippine Commission reduced the 23 municipalities of Cavite to eleven. Mendez and Bailen (now General Emilio Aguinaldo) were incorporated into the municipality of Alfonso.

    But twelve (12) years later, on January 1, 1915, Mendez regained its independent status as a municipality of the Province of Cavite.

    Geographic Appeal and Accessibility: Mendez is accessible via the Trece-Indang-Mendez-Tagaytay Road (actually a highway) if one is coming from the Capitol Compound in Trece Martires City. Another route is from the Aguinaldo Highway Exit of the Cavite-Laguna Expressway (CALAX) in Silang, one can use Aguinaldo Highway to Tagaytay City, and turn right at the Tagaytay-Alfonso Bypass Road.

    When you reach the Indang-Mendez-Tagaytay Road intersection, turn right, and in less than 2 minutes you’ll be crossing the border of Mendez and Tagaytay City. When the bridge that connects Brgy. Patutong Malaki North and Brgy. Guinhawa North is fully constructed, one can use this to reach Brgys. Palocpoc, Anuling, and Panungyan via the Tagaytay-Alfonso Bypass Road, as well.

    Several major road projects are planned by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) that will improve the mobility of residents and transients in the Metro Tagaytay area of Cavite. If all goes as planned, one of the interchanges of the Cavite-Tagaytay-Batangas Expressway (CTBEX) will be situated in the Municipality of Mendez-Nuñez, in between the interchanges in Amadeo, Cavite and Tagaytay City.

    The increase in mobility and accessibility of real properties often brings an increase in the value of said real properties. So, expect a steady appreciation of land values in the entire Municipality of Mendez.

    Meanwhile, the geographic location of Mendez is an advantage that it shares with the neighboring municipalities bounded by Tagaytay City. The cool climate of Mendez – described as tropical highland – is unmatched compared to other parts of Indang, Amadeo, and Silang with lower elevation. As such, events places, and resort-type developments have opened their doors to weary urban dwellers from the National Capital Region.

    Economic Growth and Potential: Mendez is now home to the newly opened Mendez Specialist Medical Center along the Indang-Mendez-Tagaytay Road. Moreover, about 300 meters away from the hospital, a branch of McDonald’s opened its doors to hungry constituents of the Municipalities of Alfonso, Indang, and Mendez.

    This shows the increased level of economic activity and great potential for growth by this 4th class Municipality. Imagine the types of business that will be established once the alignment of the Mendez Interchange of CTBEX has been confirmed. Commercial real estate ventures will increase. And, it may bring PEZA-registered ecozones near the exits of the interchange which can cater to the pool of qualified employees who are graduates of the Cavite State University Main Campus located in Indang, Cavite – less than 9 kilometers away from Mendez.

    Potential as a High-Value Crops Center: Mendez was known for its agricultural products, particularly coffee, coconut, pineapple, and chayote. In the 1970s, the Municipalities of Amadeo, Indang, Mendez, and Alfonso had thousands of coffee trees that were harvested and brought a lot of wealth to its farmers. But those days have long been gone.

    Still, the fertile soil and favorable climate make Mendez an ideal location for farming, which contributes to the local economy and provides employment opportunities for residents. The cool climate of Mendez is conducive to the planting and growing of strawberries and other highland vegetables or high-value commercial crops.

    Under the provisions of the High-Value Crops Development Act of 1995 [Rep. Act No. 7900], “High-value crops (HVC)” are crops other than traditional crops which include, but are not limited to: coffee and cacao, fruit crops (citrus, cashew, guyabano, papaya, mango, pineapple, strawberry, jackfruit, rambutan, durian, mangosteen, guava, lanzones, and watermelon), root crops (potato and ubi), vegetable crops (asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, celery, carrots, cauliflower, radish, tomato, bell pepper, and patola), legumes, pole sitao (snap beans and garden pea), spices and condiments (black pepper, garlic, ginger, and onion), and cutflower and ornamental foliage plants (chrysanthemum, gladiolus, anthuriums, orchids, and statice).

    There are numerous idle lands in the Municipality of Mendez, as well as nearby municipalities. When branded differently, this sleepy town can be a powerhouse High-Value Crops Center due to its favorable climate and abundance of water resources.

    Despite the abundance of water, this important resource must be protected and conserved since the various waterways traversing the Municipality of Mendez-Nuñez are part of the Labac-Alemang River Watershed (LARW). It is important to know that watersheds are categorized under protected areas declared under the National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS) Act of 1992 [Rep. Act No. 7586].

    Healthy and protected watersheds provide critical services to humans, such as clean drinking water, productive fisheries, and outdoor recreation, that support local economies, and enhance the environment and the quality of life of the inhabitants. Hence, real estate investors must plan their investments in Mendez and most of the highlands of Cavite with this important concept or principle in mind.

    Ideal Real Estate Projects and Investments in Mendez

    Given its unique location and importance in protecting the Labac-Alemang River Watershed, Mendez should encourage these types of real estate development and investment:

    Agricultural Estates: Despite its small land size, the Municipality of Mendez can establish model farms of high-value crops that can be replicated in the nearby towns of Indang and Amadeo. These farms can cross borders to achieve economies of scale in the production of the chosen HVCs.

    However, an important feature of these estates should be the creation of numerous small water-impounding sites or areas to catch surface water during the rainy season and accumulate water that can possibly refill underground aquifers to strengthen the capacity of the watershed.

    Finally, these estates must likewise implement processes that would prevent the contamination of the water resources by pesticides and other agricultural inputs. Or better yet, they should go organic if possible.

    Farm Tourism Sites: With the benefits of the Farm Tourism Development Act of 2016 [Rep. Act No. 10816], investors can establish farm tourism camps in Mendez that allow visitors and tourists to visit, get involved in farm activities, and enjoy and learn rural lifestyle. This is in line with making Mendez the High-Value Crops Center of Metro Tagaytay, as well.

    BPO Business Centers: With the opening of the Mendez Interchange of the CTBEX, the creation of the BPO-Technology Hub near the exits is an exciting opportunity. Why? Low cost of labor, low cost of living for the employees, and the dispersal of business and economic activity in the rural areas are positive factors for investors to consider.

    Finally, PEZA-registered Agro-Industrial Zones can also be established near the Mendez Interchange. The small land area of Mendez will not hamper this since the lands in Indang can be utilized for expansion for such a venture since the latter is the Agro-Industrial Hub of the Metro Tagaytay Area.

    In conclusion, Mendez-Nuñez, Cavite offers solid opportunities for real estate investments that will protect the environment and maintain the health of the watershed while at the same time introducing high-income industries that take advantage of the human resources of nearby municipalities. By leveraging these unique attributes, investors can establish business ventures that not only generate substantial returns but also contribute to the sustainable development and prosperity of this unfamiliar town in the Province of Cavite.

    If this article resonates with you, let us start a conversation that may lead to providing employment opportunities to this part of the Metro Tagaytay area.

  • Maragondon, Cavite: Unveiling the Hidden Gem for Real Estate Investment and Nature Exploration

    Image Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ph_locator_cavite_maragondon.svg

    By Realttorney®

    Maragondon is part of the third Growth Area, under the Cavite Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan 2021 – 2030, known as Metro Tagaytay or the Tourism Haven and Food Basket of the Province. This third Growth Area is composed of Indang, Amadeo, Alfonso, and four other municipalities and one city, which will be featured in subsequent articles in the future.

    This is the fourth part of the series where we explore each LGU belonging to the Metro Tagaytay area. We share our experiences as we travel and visit the Metro Tagaytay area in the past to inform you of the interesting facts, business opportunities, and the state of the real estate in each LGU.

    Maragondon is a 3rd class municipality located in the western side of the province of Cavite, Philippines. While it may not be as renowned as other tourist destinations in the country, Maragondon offers a rich tapestry of history, culture, and natural beauty that makes it a compelling place to explore. Here are some fascinating facts about Maragondon:

    Historical Significance: Maragondon is steeped in history, particularly its role during the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonization. The town is the site where Andres Bonifacio, was tried and subsequently executed.

    After being wounded and captured by the forces of President Emilio Aguinaldo in Indang, Bonifacio’s wounds were treated in the municipal hall of Indang. Bonifacio along with his brother Procopio, was then brought to Maragondon to be court-martialed in May 1897.

    The Court Martial was headed by Brigadier General Mariano Noriel. Andres Bonifacio was found guilty of treason and sentenced to death. Wrong or right, the Bonifacio Trial House stands as a solemn reminder of this pivotal moment in Philippine history.

    Natural Wonders: Maragondon is not just a historical site. It also boasts natural attractions that captivate visitors. The municipality is home to Mounts Palay-Palay–Mataas-na-Gulod Protected Landscape which includes Mount Pico de Loro, a popular hiking destination that offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes. Mount Buntis and Mount Nagpatong are historical hiking trails, the latter is the location of the Bonifacio brothers’ execution site.

    Maragondon is the only Municipality of Cavite boasting of appealing mountain ranges and a short coastline that is part of Manila Bay. And, to prove it is a coastal town, Carabao Island (Fort Frank) and Limbones Island are part of the municipality of Maragondon as well as Patungan Beach – a weekend beach destination of local residents and backpackers from outside Cavite.

    Moreover, the municipality of Maragondon manages the Carabao Island Fish Sanctuary, one of Cavite’s three existing fish sanctuaries. It is an expansive 56 hectares of reef and sanctuary at Brgy. Sta. Mercedes. On the other hand, the other two sanctuaries include Ternate’s Bulaklakin Reef and Naic Fish Sanctuary.

    What connects the mountain ranges of Maragondon to Manila Bay? It is the Maragondon River, which has an approximate length of 35.6 kilometers and an average width of 10 meters. According to its website, the Maragondon River is one of the six major river basins of Cavite. It is one of the largest with a total area of 357 square kilometers with an irrigable area of around five percent.

    The Maragondon River provides opportunities for water-based activities like boating and fishing. However, fishing in the Maragondon River is limited in scope, as the fishery resources of the municipality have not been fully developed.

    Finally, a well-known tourist destination in Maragondon is the Pantihan or Balayungan Falls which is described as a light-volume waterfall that drops over a small river gorge. This is a waterway that is one of the tributaries of the Maragondon River. It is an unspoiled area due to its remoteness but worth seeing, nonetheless.

    Cultural Heritage: According to Wikipedia, the name Maragondon is a Spanish approximation of the Tagalog word maragundong or madagundong, which means “having a rumbling or thunderous sound”. This refers to the noise coming from the Kay Albaran River in the village of Capantayan. This was initially the place on which the town was to be built. However, due to the floods caused by the frequent overflowing of the river, the town was later relocated to its present site.

    Maragondon is a place where the past whispers through its centuries-old church and ancestral homes, and the present thrives amidst lush landscapes and stunning coastal views. One religious site is the Our Lady of the Assumption Parish Church, a centuries-old structure that serves as a spiritual haven for the townspeople.

    One historic event that occurred in Cavite but is not known by millions of Filipinos was the establishment of the Iglesia Filipina Catolica (Philippine Catholic Church) in Maragondon in early 1900, about two years ahead of the Philippine Independent of Aglipayan Church. The IFC was the first Philippine independent church to be established by Riego de Dios, a general of the Philippine Revolution when the then Archbishop of Manila failed to heed the public clamor for the removal of an anti-Filipino priest assigned in Maragondon.

    Moreover, Maragondon celebrates its cultural heritage through various festivals and traditions. One such event is the “Kawayan Festival,” which showcases the town’s agricultural and bamboo products, especially bamboo textiles, and promotes agri-tourism, as well.

    Ideal Real Estate Projects and Investments in Maragondon

    Given its unique blend of historical significance, natural beauty, and cultural richness, Maragondon presents several opportunities for real estate development and investment. Here are some ideal projects and investments that could thrive in this municipality:

    Heritage Tourism Resorts: Given Maragondon’s historical landmarks, there is potential for developing heritage tourism resorts that offer accommodations and guided tours to sites like the Bonifacio Trial House, which could begin at the Bonifacio Shrine in Indang, Cavite, and end at the Bonifacio Execution Site in Mout. Nagpatong. This type of development would cater to both local and international tourists interested in Philippine history.

    Agricultural Estates: Maragondon’s fertile lands make it an ideal location for agricultural estates focused on bamboo, sugar cane, corn, cassava, upland red rice, and other high-value crops. Investors could develop integrated farming communities that combine residential housing with agricultural production, creating a sustainable and self-sufficient environment.

    Eco-Tourism Lodges or Agri-Tourism Establishes: With its natural attractions such as Mount Buntis and Maragondon River, there is an opportunity to develop eco-tourism lodges and adventure resorts that cater to outdoor enthusiasts. These establishments could offer a range of activities, including hiking, camping, boating, and fishing, while promoting environmental conservation. One of the quaint yet excellent resorts in Maragondon, Cavite is the Riverfront Garden Resort.

    Residential Subdivisions: As Maragondon continues to grow and develop, there will be a demand for residential subdivisions that provide modern amenities and facilities. Investors could capitalize on this by developing well-planned residential communities that offer a high quality of life for residents.

    Commercial Centers: With the influx of tourists and the growth of the local population, there will be a need for commercial centers that provide essential goods and services. Investors could consider developing shopping malls, restaurants, and other commercial establishments that cater to the needs and preferences of the community.

    In conclusion, Maragondon, Cavite, offers a wealth of opportunities for real estate development and investment, thanks to its historical significance, natural beauty, and cultural heritage. By leveraging these unique attributes, investors can create projects that not only generate substantial returns but also contribute to the sustainable development and prosperity of the municipality.

  • Amadeo: The Hidden Gem of Philippine Coffee Culture

    “Agriculture is our wisest pursuit, because it will in the end contribute most to real wealth, good morals, and happiness.”

    –  Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of the Unites States of America

    By Realttorney®

    The new and much-improved facade of the Amadeo Municipal Hall

    Amadeo is part of the third Growth Area, under the Cavite Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan 2021 – 2030, known as Metro Tagaytay or the Tourism Haven and Food Basket of the Province. This third Growth Area is composed of seven other municipalities and one city, which we will feature in more articles in the future. Indang, Cavite was the first one featured several days ago.

    Why write about Amadeo, Cavite second? Everyone needs to know that Amadeo has ecological and environmental importance for the Province of Cavite and the National Capital Region, as well.

    There are six major river systems in Cavite namely, Maragondon, Labac-Alemang, Timalan, Cañas, San Juan, and Imus River. These river systems provide a plethora of ecological functions and services that are critical to both the natural environment and human populations.

    “The Cañas River Watershed runs from South to North before draining to Manila Bay. The headwaters of Cañas River Watershed are found in Tagaytay. The river network passes through the municipalities of Indang and Amadeo. It continues down to Trece Martirez, General Trias, and Tanza. It exits at the municipality of Rosario, Cavite.”[1]

    From a natural perspective, the rivers of upland Cavite and their surrounding habitats are home to a diverse array of plants (catmon, banaba, Ylang-Ylang, and carabao mango trees) and animals, many of which are endemic to the Southern Tagalog region and play important ecological roles. The Cañas River system also serves as a corridor for wildlife movement and migration, contributing to the resilience and diversity of ecosystems in the Province.

    On a human level, the Cañas River system provides invaluable services such as access to water for drinking, irrigation, and industrial use. Many human settlements and cities in Cavite rely on the six major river systems as a primary source of water, making their conservation and management crucial for sustained human development.

    Aside from these facts, as a real estate service practitioner, I need to inform you of the myriad of opportunities that are aplenty in this town neighboring the eastern side of Indang, Cavite.

    Here are some interesting facts you need to know about the upland town of Amadeo, Cavite:

    Source: https://www.crowdsourcedexplorer.com/amadeo-cavite-philippines/

    The old facade of the Municipal Hall of Amadeo, Cavite. Source: https://www.crowdsourcedexplorer.com/amadeo-cavite-philippines/

    1. Amadeo was once known as Masilaw, meaning “glaring” in Tagalog, because of the bright red flowers of the Dapdap trees (a.k.a. Erythrina variegata) that grew in the area. When in bloom, the trees bore bright red flowers producing a dazzling red glare from afar. In Tagalog, the term, glaring is “nakakasilaw”. After the years passed, the word was shortened and the barrio got its name “Masilaw”.

    2. Amadeo (a.k.a. Masilaw) was then a part of Silang (just like Indang), and its inhabitants had to go to Poblacion for registration, baptismal rites, matrimonial ceremonies, and even funeral services. At that time, public transportation was scarce and travel was difficult. A move initiated by the leaders of the barrios namely Leoncio Ramos, Geronimo Bayot, and Andres Villanueva succeeded in making Masilaw a town independent from Silang in 1872.

    3. Amadeo was founded on July 15, 1872, by Governor General Rafael Izquierdo y Gutiérrez, and named after King Amadeo I of Spain. For 21 years, Amadeo was recognized as a town, even by the Revolutionary Government under General Emilio Aguinaldo.

    In fact, the revolutionists gave it the Tagalog Name “Maypag-ibig” (With Love), in line with the revolutionary policy of giving native names to towns having alien names to erase every vestige of the country’s colonial past. However, on October 15, 1903, it was returned to Silang under Act No. 947, as the Provincial Executive, displeased with the way Amadeo was governed, reverted it as a district under Silang, Cavite.

    The people resented this decision. Once again, its leaders took the cudgels of working for the separation of Amadeo from Silang. Finally, in 1915, during the administration of Governor Antero S. Soriano, Amadeo regained its independence. Geronimo Bayot became the first municipal president.[2]

    4. Amadeo has a population of 41,901 people as of the 2020 census, with a density of 1,100 inhabitants per square kilometer or 2,800 inhabitants per square mile. This makes it the least populous municipality in the Province of Cavite.

    5. Finally, Amadeo is the Coffee Capital of the Philippines, producing the largest amount of coffee in the province of Cavite. It has a land area of 47.90 square kilometers devoted to coffee farming. It may not be the biggest coffee-producing municipality in the country, but it sure is the most passionate when it comes to this most sought-after beverage in the daily lives of Filipinos.

    Amadeo hosts the annual Pahimis Festival, a Thanksgiving celebration for the bountiful harvest of coffee. The festival features cultural shows, trade fairs, coffee tastings, and a street parade. As such, it has emerged as a hidden gem in the country’s vibrant coffee culture.

    Despite being overshadowed by more popular destinations for coffee production and consumption, such as Batangas and Benguet, Amadeo has steadily gained recognition for its unique contribution to the Philippine coffee landscape, which is characterized by its rich historical roots, geographical advantages, variety, and quality of coffee beans, and the role of local stakeholders in fostering this burgeoning industry.

    Historical Context. Coffee cultivation in the Philippines dates back to the Spanish colonial era when the archipelago was introduced to coffee by Spanish friars in the late 17th century. Over time, coffee farming spread across various regions, each contributing distinct flavors and characteristics to Philippine coffee culture.

    Amadeo’s coffee industry dates back to the 19th century when it was introduced by Spanish colonizers. However, the Province of Batangas gained early prominence due to the fertile volcanic soil. But, over the years, Amadeo’s contribution to the Philippine coffee landscape can be attributed to several factors.

    Geographical Advantage. The town’s geographical location plays a crucial role in its emergence as a coffee hub. Situated in the highlands of Cavite, Amadeo benefits from a unique microclimate that is conducive to coffee cultivation.

    The municipality’s elevation, combined with its well-drained soil and moderate temperatures, creates an ideal environment for growing coffee beans with rich flavors and aromas. These natural advantages have attracted coffee enthusiasts and farmers alike, leading to the re-establishment of numerous coffee plantations and processing facilities in the area.

    Variety and Quality. One of the distinguishing features of Amadeo’s coffee culture is the variety and quality of beans produced. The municipality is known for cultivating a diverse range of coffee varieties, including Arabica, Robusta, and Excelsa. Each variety offers a unique taste profile, from the fruity and floral notes of Arabica to the bold and earthy flavors of Robusta.

    Furthermore, local farmers in Amadeo have adopted sustainable farming practices, such as organic farming and shade-grown cultivation, to enhance the quality and sustainability of their crops. This commitment to quality has garnered attention from coffee aficionados and industry experts, solidifying Amadeo’s reputation as a producer of premium coffee beans or specialty coffee production.

    Community Engagement. The growth of Amadeo’s coffee industry is not solely attributable to its geographical and agricultural attributes; community engagement has also played a crucial role. Local stakeholders, including government agencies, non-profit organizations, and community-based cooperatives, have been instrumental in promoting coffee farming and entrepreneurship in the municipality.

    Initiatives such as training programs, financial support, and market access have empowered local farmers to improve their practices and expand their businesses. Additionally, the annual celebration of the Pahimis Festival and other tourism initiatives have drawn attention to Amadeo’s coffee culture, attracting visitors, entrepreneurs, and real estate investors alike.

    As Amadeo continues to gain recognition in the Philippine coffee scene, the municipality stands at a pivotal juncture with promising prospects for future growth. With increasing demand for specialty coffee both domestically and internationally, Amadeo has the opportunity to position itself as a leading producer of premium coffee beans in the Philippines.

    However, this growth must be balanced with sustainable practices to ensure the long-term viability of the local coffee industry. By leveraging its historical legacy, geographical advantages, and community engagement, Amadeo has the potential to emerge as a prominent player in the global coffee market.

    In conclusion, Amadeo, Cavite, represents a hidden gem in Philippine coffee culture, characterized by its rich historical roots, geographical advantages, and community-driven initiatives. As a producer of premium coffee beans with diverse flavors and high quality, Amadeo has carved a niche for itself in the competitive landscape of Philippine coffee production.

    Moving forward, strategic investments in sustainable farming practices, infrastructure development, and market expansion are essential to unlocking the municipality’s full potential. By doing so, Amadeo can continue to contribute to the vibrant tapestry of Philippine coffee culture while providing economic opportunities for its local residents.

    Farm lot subdivisions are perfect real estate projects in Amadeo. Digital nomads, Createrpreneurs, and other professionals who are part of the Gig Economy are welcome in this 4th class municipality, whether as serious hi-tech coffee farmers, weekend farm enthusiasts, or simple nature lovers.

    Be a part of the growth of Amadeo, and its commitment to producing high-quality coffee, locally and internationally. The opening of the East-West Lateral Road and the Silang West Interchange of the Cavite Laguna Expressway (CALAX) bodes well for the appreciation of real properties, not only in Amadeo but also in the entire Metro Tagaytay Area.

    Finally, ask me about the bargains to be had for the purchase of real properties in Amadeo in 2024.
