For such a young luxury real estate brand, Filigree was able set new standards in the local property industry both as a marque of excellence and exclusivity. Launched last year, Filigree was able to deliver on their promise of luxurious developments with meticulous attention to detail and quality, and on-time completion of their projects.
Two of Filigree’s signature upscale developments in the Metro South – Botanika Nature Residences and The Enclave Alabang, are being turned over on schedule.

Botanika Nature Residences is noted for its exceptional luxury with generously-sized units and garden-inspired amenities. Comprised of three mid-rise low-density condominium towers, Botanika Nature Residences has already welcomed Tower 1 residents starting last quarter of 2017.

For The Enclave Alabang, Filigree’s masterplanned luxury sanctuary, its 1,500 sq.m Clubhouse with private function rooms interior designed by no less that the celebrated firm of BUDJI+ROYAL Architecture+Design, relaxing lap pool, and fitness gym are ready for the enjoyment of The Enclave Alabang’s discriminating residents.
The Central Park, boasting of lush, verdant flora, an impressive man-made lagoon with calming waters, and a canopy of trees, already stands as an inviting oasis in the low density 13-hectare residential community.

Bristol at Parkway Place, meanwhile, is set to be turned over in the first half of this year, where unit owners can soon revel in Bristol’s prime, desirable location, first-in-class architecture and design, as well as its plethora of features and amenities such as a posh retail promenade, a calming swimming pool, a cozy library, and screening room.
The Beaufort, the preferred address of the affluent few in Bonifacio Global City, has also welcomed most of its residents, and has only a few units left available.
And putting each of these masterpieces together is a most impressive lineup of world renowned consultants: apart from BUDJI+ROYAL, there is AECOM Singapore, L.V. Locsin Partners, H1 Architecture, Architecture International, and Miaja Design Group.
Filigree has indeed proven itself worthy as a premium real estate brand, with every project bearing iconic architecture, generosity of space, incomparable finishes and build quality, plush amenities, and exceptional property management—each one situated in prime, desirable locations. More importantly, Filigree has shown its ability to finish projects on time, a testament to their passion and commitment, giving homeowners and investors superb returns on their investments.
And this 2018, Filigree will continue to push the boundaries, further raising the bar and setting standards in luxury real estate in the country. To know more about Filigree’s exceptional property developments, visit www.filigree.com.ph.

Asian Institute of Management
KPMG R.G. Manabat & Co. (KPMG RGM & Co.), the Philippine member firm of KPMG International, recently held a series of events to start off the year at the Asian Institute of Management in Makati City.
These were a series of IT discussions on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics Process Automation (RPA), Data & Analytics (D&A), Blockchain and Tax Intelligence Solution (TIS) dubbed Let’s Talk Tech, as well as the launch of its 2018 annual investment guide, entitled IT Report: Philippines.
KPMG Australia’s Michael Rochanakij started the Let’s Talk Tech session by giving an overview of current IT trends and disruptions, as he expounded on changes brought about by the fourth industrial revolution—digital—and how companies must adopt new ways of thinking in order to stay competitive and relevant.
This was followed by an engaging panel discussion on the subject, moderated by KPMG RGM & Co. vice chairman and chief operating officer Emmanuel P. Bonoan, with esteemed panelists form the banking and IT sector: UnionBank of the Philippines’ Henry Rhoel R. Aguda, Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation’s Dennis C. Bancod, 25-year IT veteran Joel H. Garcia, and Mynt’s Anthony Thomas Garcia.
Then, a series of break-out sessions on AI and RPA, Blockchain and Tax Intelligence Solution took place, with advisory partners Jallain S. Manrique and Michael H. Guarin together with partner Leandro Ben M. Robediso, leading the dialogues.
Capping off the event was the launch of the annual investment guide IT Report: Philippines held in partnership with the Wallace Business Forum. The report also highlights the dynamism of the IT-BPM (Business Process Management) industry which has proven to be among the country’s economic game changers for the past 20 years or so and will continue to provide support for strong growth in the years to come.
“Our government has realized the importance of IT and is now catching up. We now have a Department of Information and Communications Technology or DICT that aims to strengthen the country’s IT Infrastructure.
Coupled with the Data Privacy Act and the push to strengthen Cybersecurity – we are going in the right direction to make the Philippines globally competitive, especially in the digital space,” said Sharon G. Dayoan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of KPMG RGM & Co.
