On October 15th a delegation of Chilean pork companies travelled to Manila to celebrate ChilePork’s fourth annual event in the Philippines, with the goal of further strengthening the presence of Chilean pork in the local market and culinary scene.
The gathering, organized by the Chilean Meat Exporters Association (ChileCarne) under its sector brand ChilePork, brought together more than 110 guests, including Chefs, importers, and representatives from the Filipino gastronomic sector, who enjoyed an exclusive gala dinner.
The evening began with welcoming remarks by Mr. Pedro Pizarro, Consul of Chile in the Philippines, who put the focus on the relationships between Chile and Philippines and the continuous efforts of pork companies in getting established on the Filipino market.
After this, Mr. Roberto Umali, Exceutive Director of the National Meat Inspection Service, took the stage to highlight the quality of the Chilean pork meat and its good performance on the safety and biosecurity areas.
Next, Mr. Juan Carlos Domínguez, President of the Chilean Meat Exporters Association, ChileCarne, took the stage to share key information about Chile and its export-oriented vision: “Four years ago, we began exporting pork and chicken to the Philippines, and today it is a market that is becoming well established. More than two containers leave Chile daily for this market. The Philippines is the gateway to ASEAN, and we hope to carry out similar activities in Vietnam and Indonesia in the near future,” Mr. Domínguez emphasized.
On the second part of the event, guests were treated to a live cooking show in hands of the culinary team of the Grand Hyatt Manila, who prepared step by step dishes where the pork was the main ingredient and then served them for the attendance to taste it and get to know more about the Chilean pork.

As P.A. Alvarez Properties and Development Corporation (P.A. Properties) marks its 31st year in the industry, we are proud to introduce our anniversary theme: “Expanding Horizons, Advancing Together.”
Over the past three decades, P.A. Properties has matured from building strong foundations to delivering thriving residential communities and forging enduring partnerships. This year’s theme reflects our commitment to launching new projects, deepening our market reach, and exploring new development frontiers, and emphasizes our collaborative journey—with our homeowners, communities, brokers and sellers, partners and stakeholders—towards shared growth and innovation.
Addressing the Housing Backlog
The challenge before us in the Philippine housing sector is significant. The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) reports a nationwide backlog of approximately 6.5 million housing units as of 2022 (Manila Bulletin 2025). Left unaddressed, this figure could escalate to 10 million units by 2028 (Politko 2022). This is a gap that demands concerted effort from all stakeholders—including private-sector developers like us.
“At P.A. Properties, we believe that behind every home is a story,” said Atty. Marianne Reyna Lina Cruz, P.A. Properties CEO and President. “As we celebrate 31 years of service, our goal is to build not just homes but communities that reflect the dreams and aspirations of Filipino families—while helping address the nation’s housing needs.”
The company is expanding its reach by launching new residential and mixed-use projects in key growth areas, while fostering stronger partnerships with financial institutions and industry stakeholders to enhance housing accessibility and delivery. Guided by innovation and mindful design, P.A. Properties remains committed to building resilient and inclusive communities where every homeowner’s story is one of opportunity, dignity, and progress.
As we celebrate this 31-year milestone, we look ahead with optimism—and purpose. With “Expanding Horizons, Advancing Together,” we embark on the next chapter of our journey, one that merges new projects, wider reach and stronger partnerships so that we may shape better lives—together.
