Vista Land Bridges Cebuano Heritage and Progress with Valencia by Vista Estates

Mactan Island stands out as a key and highly recognized island within Cebu province, divided between Lapu-Lapu City and the municipality of Cordova.

Lapu-Lapu City manages a significant portion of the island, while Cordova oversees a smaller area on its southern side.

The Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) aims to connect Mactan with the southern regions of Metro Cebu, facilitating the growth of property developments like Valencia.

Situated a short distance from the main island, the accessibility to and from Mactan has been dramatically enhanced by recent upgrades to Cebu road infrastructure. The island is linked to Mandaue City, Cebu, through the Marcelo Fernan Bridge and the Mactan-Mandaue Bridge. Additionally, introducing the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) in Cordova aims to further connect the island with the southern regions of Metro Cebu, facilitating the growth of master planned communities.

Mactan has steadily made strides toward economic progress in recent years, proving itself a key player in boosting the local economy of Cebu, particularly in the tourism, manufacturing, and real estate sectors. 

Tourism: A Magnet for Visitors

Mactan has long been a paradise for beach enthusiasts who take pride in some of the country's highly-regarded resorts and the recent renovations of the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) has bolstered Mactan’s efforts to enhance its capacity to attract more visitors.

Valencia is a five-hectare multi-tower development in Lapu-Lapu City, radiating a vibrant ambiance reminiscent of the lively hues seen in and around the Queen City of the South.

Mactan now operates the second busiest airport in the Philippines, following Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Metro Manila and serving as a critical gateway to prime vacation destinations in the Queen City of the South. With the return of international travelers and domestic tourists, businesses throughout Cebu are experiencing revitalization, including resorts, hotels, bed and breakfasts, and various shopping and dining establishments.

Manufacturing and Employment: A Growing Industrial Force

Industrialization has significantly transformed the Philippines' metropolitan areas, and Mactan, as part of Metro Cebu, is no exception. Mactan Economic Zone (MEZ), an initiative of the Philippine Economic Zone Authority, is a major economic force in the region. Ranking as one of the largest ecozones in the Philippines and second only to the Cavite Economic Zone (CEZ), MEZ hosts a diverse range of operations from tourism and medical tourism to warehousing and manufacturing. Mactan Economic Zone encompasses two economic zones and has attracted PHP 51.5 billion in investments over the past 26 years.

In addition to the Mactan Economic Zone, Mactan is home to General Milling Corporation (GMC), a national leader in consumer food product processing and production. Its operations generate thousands of jobs for locals and enhance Cebu's position within the national manufacturing landscape.

Real Estate: A Premium Investment Opportunity

While Mactan Island is relatively small at about 65 square kilometers, it ranks as one of the most densely populated islands in the Philippines, with a rising population of half a million. Its appeal lies in its opportunities for tourism and commerce, making real estate a highly desirable asset.

Over the years, Mactan has undergone significant transformation, evolving from a landscape dotted with residential neighborhoods to exquisite communities offering interconnected living spaces. This shift has positioned Mactan as an ideal location to raise a family in Cebu, attracting real estate investors to develop commercial and residential developments, including strip malls and shopping centers.

Developers quickly recognize the opportunities presented by real estate properties in Mactan. Capitalizing on this potential, Vista Land, through its collection of master planned developments called Vista Estates, has strategically positioned itself in alignment with the dynamic growth of the island. Tailoring its offerings to suit those cognizant of Mactan's role in the economic landscape of Cebu, Vista Estates provides properties at the nucleus of economic activities, fostering an environment where residents can thrive and improve the quality of their lifestyle.

Valencia: Never Miss Out on Life!

Valencia by Vista Estates, the five-hectare multi-tower development situated in prime Lapu-Lapu City real estate, radiates a vibrant ambiance reminiscent of the lively hues seen in around the Queen City of the South. It is poised to progressively transform the cityscape of Mactan by combining the charm of the island with the pulse of the city.

Taking its cue from Spanish Modernista architecture, the towers of Valencia will be marked with a stylish diversity of historically derived touches.

Taking its cue from Spanish Modernista architecture, Catalonia's version of the English Arts and Crafts movement, the towers of Valencia will be marked with a stylish diversity of historically derived touches. The predominance of curves, rich decoration, detail, organic motifs, and a prevalence of asymmetry characterizes the design. Catalan sensibilities meld perfectly with the Cebuano lifestyle in Valencia.

Nestled in close proximity to the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX), Valencia emerges as the nearest growth metropolis to Cebu City. Here, the boundaries between urban comfort and leisure are seamlessly interlinked, providing residents with diverse residential choices tailored to various lifestyles and aspirations. The development caters to residents' needs and enriches their lifestyles with amenities such as a swimming pool, fitness center, jogging path, and a dedicated children's play area.

In addition to these resident-focused facilities, the estate features a commercial complex housing retail shops, restaurants, and cafes, creating a dynamic environment that complements the residential offerings.

Drew both Piris in the 1600s, but in their much fancier wear :D Their attire is very Lusong (Tagalog + Kapampangan) since they're pretty much under Maynila's care for most of the time here though the rest of their accessories are from other provinces.

hey... check these guys out....

Constantly annoyed and baffled at how Filipino history is taught in school. Like are we not going to highlight the fact we were a colony? Like a straight up colony treated less than intelligent human beings? By both the Spanish, American and Japanese occupations. The way school talks about those times makes it seem like it wasn't that bad or that at least we got something out of it. Espescially when the Americans are discussed. Spanish and Japanese occupation is sometimes more clearly acknowledged as the horrible thing that it was but the American thing just feels so swept under the rug. Specifically the treaty that gave America Parity Rights. Like how are we going to discuss that and not point out how America exploited and continues to exploit our country. Then we turn from that topic and have a heartfelt moment about loving our own culture. Like girl most of "our" culture was burned by the Spaniards and what we celebrate as Filipino isn't even that.

The Cruel Choice

June, 1520

"I can't take another bite, Phi. I feel like I'm going to throw up if I do…"

"At least have water. Here. I boiled some. Sit up, I don't want you to choke." Phoebus holds Guy up as he wraps his brother with the blanket, though he is careful not to push over the stick hut they and the other stranded survivors of the Santiago made. They are stuck, lost in a land they are unfamiliar with, muggy yet cold.

Guy gulps as he struggles to drink. "I don't get it. We're at the start of summer now… yet it's dead of cold here??"

"Maybe we're in a part of the world where the weather is opposite in the New World. Cold during the summer and hot during the winter."

"What kind of backwards part of the world are we in?!" Guy tightens the blanket around him. "It's been two weeks! No one has come for us! I want to go home! I miss Maman and Noelle so much! We're going to die here! We're going to die lost and alone and-"

"We're not going to die. I won't let you."

"What about you?? You're not going to leave me, are you, Phi??"

It takes a while, but Phoebus manages a small smile. "Of course not," he says as he holds his brother's hand, squeezing it. "I won't ever leave you. Not here, not anywhere. Have faith. Magellan and the other ships are going to find the Santiago soon."

"They'll just make us search for a strait again…"

"Maybe they can give us a break. Hopefully-"

"….!!" Phoebus gets up to step out of the hut, leaving Guy behind.

"Phi??

"Phi?? Phoebus!! You said you wouldn't leave me! You said-"

"Guy, it's all right! Look!" He opens the flap to the hut; from within, Guy can see familiar faces outside of the Santiago coming in to their makeshift camp. "Magellan sent a rescue party! And look who's here!"

"Mr. Phoebus! Mr. Guy!! You're here!"

"Mr. Giovanni! Mr. Josep!! You came for us!"

"Thank God you're all right!" Josep rushes over to the hut to grip Guy's extended hand and hold him close to comfort him. "Hang on. We're not going to abandon you.

"We're not…..

.

.

.

"Guy… Guy….

.

.

.

.

"Guy?? Please wake up, lad," Josep pleads as he taps on Guy's cheek while he is beneath four blankets. "I need you to warm yourself up! Wake up!"

Guy snaps awake, realizing immediately he's in a cold room instead of a makeshift hut in the middle of Argentina winter. "C-…Captain?!!?"
