MEGAWORLD BUILDS A ‘WORLD MUSEUM’ IN CEBU
The P1.2-billion Mactan World Museum will feature curated pieces and cultural artifacts highlighting centuries of friendship between the Philippines and Spain
Pioneering township developer Megaworld is building a modern museum inside its 30-hectare The Mactan Newtown in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu as an ode to the island’s cultural pride and historical significance.
The P1.2-billion Mactan World Museum will rise along Newtown Boulevard just in front of Megaworld’s 8 Newtown Boulevard residential condominium. It will feature an extensive collection of historic pieces, curated by Dannie Alvarez, president, Alliance of Greater Manila Museums, Inc. (AGMMI) and former head of Committee on Museums of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA). This collection highlights the friendship and rich cultural exchange between the Philippines and Spain during the past centuries.
The museum will lend a visual retelling of the travel and arrival of Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan and his crew in Mactan, his defeat against fearless tribal leader Lapu-Lapu, and the Hispanic heritage of the Manila Galleon trade. The museum will feature five main exhibit galleries on the second-floor showcasing collections, artifacts, replica mementos, and interactive virtual displays related to various influences and historical events between the Philippines and Spain. These subjects include Spain’s quest for spices, the Kingdom of Sugbu, Magellan’s early expeditions, and the Battle of Mactan, among others.
The museum will also have two performance halls–a Flamenco Studio and a Multimedia Room–which can be combined into one main hall and accommodate about 270 people. Here, visitors can enjoy watching traditional Spanish dance performances and short play productions. An immersive hall also provides guests with an audio-visual experience of historical events during the Spanish regime in the country.
“It has always been part of our townships’ mission and identity to celebrate the arts, culture, and heritage of every location where we are present. We are excited to bring our plans to fruition for the Mactan World Museum here in Lapu-Lapu City, a destination that plays a big historical significance as far as the Philippines-Spanish heritage is concerned. Being at the center of The Mactan Newtown, this museum will provide locals and tourists with a creative avenue to connect, share interests as a community, expand knowledge, and form a deeper appreciation not only for Mactan but also for our nation’s history,” says Graham M. Coates, head, Megaworld Lifestyle Malls.
To add to the grandeur of the majestic building, three life size monuments will be featured prominently around the structure. Statues of Lapu-Lapu and King Philip II will be both situated along the path leading to the museum’s entrance. Beside the main fountain is the Spanish king atop his horse frozen mid-gallop while Lapu-Lapu’s statue, on the other side of the fountain, will be captured with his arms raised as he copies the wings of the Philippine Eagle perched on his arm. Another life size monument of Ferdinand Magellan will also be found at the museum’s back garden along Newtown Boulevard, with the explorer depicted holding up a globe on his right hand.
Apart from its collection of historical items and art, the museum will also host several other activities rooted in Filipino-Spanish traditions and culture, such as a seasonal bazaar showcasing Cebu’s main delicacies, a guitar-making and retail area, and a self-operated Filipino-themed photo studio.
The Mactan World Museum will be the latest development rising inside The Mactan Newtown. Soon, the township will also feature the Mactan Expo Center, a two-level standalone convention center.
Currently, the township serves as home to topnotch residential condominium developments, office towers, the 547-room Savoy Hotel Mactan Newtown, the 550-room Belmont Hotel Mactan–both managed and operated by Megaworld Hotels & Resorts–and the Mactan Newtown Beach. Also inside the township are schools led by the Newtown School of Excellence, retail shops, service outlets, and restaurants, including a diverse selection of local cuisines at the Mactan Alfresco.
The Mactan World Museum is the fourth museum property Megaworld is building inside its townships after the Chinatown Museum in Lucky Chinatown, and the Iloilo Museum of Contemporary Art (ILOMOCA) and the Brandy Museum in Iloilo Business Park. The World Museum is targeted to open within the next three years.

I. Executive Summary
SM Development Corporation (SMDC) is considered as one of the largest and fastest-growing real estate developers in the country. It was originally incorporated on July 12, 1974 as Ayala Fund, Inc. however, renamed as SM Fund, Inc. in March 1986 after SM group of companies took the majority of ownership in the firm. SM Fund, Inc. back then was an investment company committed solely in providing its investors with professionally managed vehicles to invest in diverse businesses in the country. In May 1996, it was again renamed as SM Development Corporation to reflect on its new business endeavor which is to venture into the real estate industry.
In the Philippines, there are two major competitors of SMDC: Ayala Land Corporation which, based on the CPM has a total rate of 3.26 (strong competitor) and Megaworld Corporation which has 2.75 (average competitor). SMDC has a total rate of 2.65 which manifests the idea that despite the fact that both of these companies are top performers, SMDC continues to create its name in the industry and achieve greater heights. In the recently concluded 8th Property Guru Awards 2020, SMDC bagged numerous awards including the Best Developer Award, Best Developer Lifestyle Award, etc. (SMDC, 2020). For over 25 years of being in the real estate industry, the company has provided quality condominiums, residences and comfortable homes at the most affordable price.
Based on the IFE matrix, the company’s strength is their capability of providing modern lifestyle amenities without compromising the safety and security of the people. Furthermore, its accessibility to various infrastructures such as shopping malls and its flexible mode of payment attracts a huge number of investors. However, its IFE rating is only 2.48 mainly because of the non-liquid asset which can lead to a possible loss in value and high maintenance cost. SMDC could further improve its performance by generating alternatives and feasible solutions that could effectively address these issues.
The overall responsiveness of the SMDC to its external factors is satisfactory at a rate of 3.22. This is due to the company’s external strategies effectively taking advantage of existing opportunities and minimizing the potential adverse effects of external threats. Currently, SMDC is ranked as the 3rd best real estate developer in the country based on the data released by Property Consultancy & Sales Associates Inc. in 2019. Thus, if they can further examine and analyze the opportunities and threats for the upcoming years in a wider perspective, they could create excellent plans that will surely benefit the company and improve its rank in the industry. In addition, being able to take advantage of the possible threats that may hinder a company's triumph is vital to leverage success. Towards its strategic goal in becoming one of the top competitors and leading real estate developers in the country, SMDC should highly consider market penetration and product development strategies as the suitable strategy for the company. Market penetration will equip the company in perfuming its name in the market, fueling great sales, revenues and attracting a wide range of customers by: (1) launching more projects not just in NCR but in the entire Philippines and (2) penetration pricing without compromising the quality of the properties.
Product development strategies include: (1) Expanding the company’s services which will thoroughly help in providing a much better experience and comfort of living to its investors and (2) Improving and adding modernly designed amenities which will enhance the appearance of every property and cater new demands of its investors for their very own satisfaction.
Other instinctive strategies include horizontal integration strategies through (1) purchasing new lands and building new real estate properties and (2) acquiring or seeking ownership/control over company’s investors. With the utilization of these strategies, the company’s vision of becoming the leading developer of world-class residences in the Philippines and a catalyst for a better life will be realized with high sales and revenues in the upcoming years.
With the appropriate execution, performance management and coordination with the operation and the corporate affairs, these recommended strategies will serve as the primary driver of SMDC triumphs not just in being one of the top competitors in the industry but also in magnifying its coverage and competencies, boosting the economy and company’s growth

Rating
(Rating = 1) - Major Weakness
(Rating = 2) - Minor Weakness
(Rating = 3) - Minor Strength
(Rating = 4) - Major Strength
Analysis
The Internal Factor Evaluation matrix is a tool used for auditing and evaluating major strengths and weaknesses of an organization or company. The average weighted score for the IFE Matrix is 2.5 above while 2.5 below is considered weak. The total weighted score for SM Development Corporation (SMDC) is 2.48 or 2.5 which means that the company is responding to a low average score that pertains to internally weak business. Therefore, the IFE Matrix concludes that SM Development Corporation (SMDC) is in a weak position.
Tumblr media
Analysis
1) Rivalry Among Competing Firms - Rivalry among competing developers of retail space is deemed moderate due to the three main players' aggressive expansion plans for the near future and their offering of essentially the same product (retail and food space, cinemas, etc.), only slightly differentiated for different income segments. However, the fierceness of this rivalry is somewhat tempered by the strong continued growth in household consumption, which leaves room for much more retail space to be built. However, due to SMPH's significant advantages in terms of size, mall count, and land bank location, it is in the best position to capitalize on this demand for more retail space.
2) Potential Entry of New Competitors - Although, again, customers (in this case, companies seeking to buy or lease office space) are not particularly loyal to a specific developer, the potential entry of new competitors is tempered by the fact that the demand for new commercial space is concentrated in Metro Manila, where most available land is already in the portfolio of established players. Moreover, economies of scale are advantageous to established players because it allows them to accommodate the space requirements of large firms and therefore secure the most lucrative contracts. SMPH's advantage lies in its network of strategic partnerships, building only when it has 60% commitments, and in its integration of its land bank in its long-term expansion plans.
3) Potential Development of Substitute Product - The threat of the development of substitute products for commercial space is moderately low, largely because there are currently no substitutes in the market, and no current market players are actively seeking out the development of such substitutes. Moreover, customers do not necessarily seek new kinds of office space, particularly as there are high costs to selling of buildings or ending leases early, as well as high transitioning costs once they have secured new office space. SMPH in particular keeps its tenants satisfied through its competitive prices and the close proximity to retail and transportation centers that its commercial developments offer.
4) Bargaining Power of Supplier - Despite the large number of construction firms and raw materials suppliers in the market, the bargaining power of suppliers remains moderate, due to the high values of commercial development contracts with major players, which has given rise to the popularity of long-term partnerships and/or construction subsidiaries. SMPH, for example, has the Associated Development Corporation.
5) Bargaining Power of Consumers - The bargaining power of consumers is moderately high in the commercial development market, primarily due to the fact that contracts with these customers are extremely high in value, as firms tend to buy or lease a large number of units at a time. Commercial space offerings, as mentioned earlier, are also largely undifferentiated, and offered to the same customer segment. SMPH addresses this threat with its approach of building strong and healthy long-term relationships with tenants, and leveraging on its strategic location.

Weight Ranges:
0.0 = not important to 1.0 = very important
Ratings:
4 = the response is superior, 3 = the response is above average, 2 = the response is average, and 1 = the response is poor.
Analysis
The total weighted score for SM Development Corporation (SMDC) is 3.22 which is equivalent to the company’s responding in an above average way to existing opportunities and threats in the industry. Moreover, the firm’s external strategies are effectively taking advantage of existing opportunities and minimize the potential adverse effects of external threats. It is a good evaluation of the organization that needs to focus on their least average to obtain the high weights in order to become a big competitor.
The matrix shows the different types of key external factors and its total weighted score; it has been separated in two parts: Opportunities and Threats. Inside opportunities are Geographic Location, Competitors’ price, fast site Improvement, Increasing Number of Tourists, Corporate sponsorship, National trends like modern facilities, Investor high activity, offering new products, and Offering new types of services. Then the total weighted score for opportunities is 2.16
In view of the table, threats for key external factors got a weighted score of 1.06. Within the threats, the global crisis got the highest weighted score while the least one is the increasing inflation rate.
Combining opportunities and threats weighted score is equal to 3.22

Notes:
The weights and total weighted scores in both a CPM and an EFE have the same meaning.
0.0 = not important to 1.0 very important
Critical Success Factors in Competitive Profile Matrix include both internal and external issues; therefore, the ratings refer to strengths and weaknesses, where 4 =major strength, 3 = minor strength, 2 = minor weakness, and 1 = major weakness.
Results Legend:
4- Strongly competitive
3- Averagely competitive
2- Competitive
1- Incompetent
Analysis
According to Inquirer net (2020), SM Development Corporation, it is not just about being an infrastructure that serves a place for a group of residents. The organization creates a community where people can live the best for their lives. Being healthy, happy, and secured.
In the table, it shows the several important Critical Success factors that rates each major competitor and its particular strengths and weaknesses. In CPM, the total rating and total weighted scores are for the rival data firms that can be compared to the other organization. This Matrix analysis provides important internal and external strategic information that can help each company to distinguish their strengths and weaknesses.
As stated in the matrix, Ayala land is the strongest competitor with a total weighted score of 3.26. The company has clearly got a high rating of 4 in Advertisement, Customers Loyalty, Supply of land, Grand service and amenities, Market share and Organization structure. While Megaworld acquired the next place with a total weighted score of 2.73. In addition, Ayala Land and Megaworld are the big competitors in the real estate industry in the Philippines. SM Development Corporation obtained a total weighted score of 2.65. Vista land’s total weighted score is 2.61. The next is Filinvest Land got a total weighted score of 2.53. The last one among the 6 organizations is Alveo land with a total weighted score of 2.32.
Furthermore, SM Development Corporation is one of the strongest competitors in real estate in the country. It shows that they have a stable and good stand in the industry of real estate. Hence, SMDC still needs to take action in their weaknesses to improve their route for being the strongest competitor.
D. Key External Factor
Cultural Factor
Product Design & Quality
It is very important to have a face-paced that can attract the consumers to be globally competitive. It is a step to have an activity in many firms because releasing a new product and high-quality land, house, buildings, and more can contribute to improvement of sales revenue. The objective of product design and its quality is to give new experiences to the consumers.
Price Competitivenes
Competitive pricing gives a high quality for a rival organization. It basically prevents it from losing customers and its market share to the other organization. This is highly important because it is advantageous to enable the organization to respond if the rivals release new products such as modern buildings, hi-tech homes, and more. Being in competitive pricing advantages can have a quality positioning in the business.
Economic Factor
Customers’ Loyalty
Customer’s Loyalty plays a strong part in advertising and running a business. Customer’s themselves can introduce the product, services and even the whole organization when they are satisfied. Having a loyal customer, they will spend more and support your business. Moreover, they help you to keep your high profile better and grow.
Tourist Demand
It is practically a major need of an establishment or organization because it helps to boost the revenue of the company. It creates and develops infrastructures if the organization is related to tourism. Once a tourist finds your company attractive, they will be willing to try it. Tourism is a vital point to achieve a high success in a field of business and economy.
Investor Activity
It is one of the most important lines in the business along with sponsorship. Once you invest there will be a cash flow statement that can help to boost your revenue and establishment itself. Investing in a trusted organization is a good investment in terms of capital assets. It basically means that the business will even grow in the future and has a high chance to earn a good revenue.
Legal Factor
Security and Safety
It is highly important to have quality security in a company. It gives safety to everyone. It protects the property itself. Moreover, it gives more confidence for staff to work because they know that they are protected safely. It can also be related to health due to the fact that having a safe workplace and home can radiate a well-being performance and does not need to worry in anything, just enjoying services and products.
Environmental Factor
Fast Site Improvement
It is important to have a fast site to be able to access it easily. Images and video are prime when advertising. Nowadays, people are searching on the Internet to analyze where to buy. Fast site play a big role in the data, once your site is not working properly it might start to lose visitors.
Government Factor
Corporate Sponsorship
Sponsorship gives a highly competitive edge, and it can also improve the organizations position, image, and credibility. They support their partner and give a quality product that can attract consumers. Once a company has a sponsorship, it means that they are well trusted and have a chance to be well known. Sponsorship gives a particular event that can be very effective in promoting because it can be accessed and available in a wide range of consumers.
IV. Strategy Formulation
As per WorldOMeters, the Philippine population is assessed to be 107,656,644 as of March 22, 2019. Also, with a developing population, the requirements for need is developing as well.
The World Population Review stated that the largest cities in the Philippines such as Quezon City, Metro Manila, Caloocan and Davao city also have large populations. With this data, SMDC can construct or add more branches in the enormous urban communities where they can help for the accommodation of the purchasers.
Today, SMDC keeps on creating properties that objectives the necessities and components reconsidered by those forthcoming purchasers to ensure that they keep up and even increment their piece of the pie in the business. The organization exploits the blast in the economy of the country that is capable most explicitly of expanding the request of the premium center market for properties that are moderate and helpful as well as fits to their way of life of decision.
There are many responsibilities that need to be considered for a business to grow and expand. One can develop the internal capacity to drive the extension of the company, the other one is purchasing a business with a generally evolved mastery in that space of specialization and assemble it out further.
SMDC expands its services and operations through platform companies with developed expertise where they build out. The impact can make incredible worth since the tasks of a few more modest firms join to increase the value of the new firm. In any case, the accomplishment of the mix intensely relies upon the stage organization, which may bring about annihilating worth if the procedure isn't as expected executed.
SM Development Corporation is a notable organization, generally on the grounds that it has acquired the trust and certainty of the Filipinos even before the formation of SMDC as a different element from its parent organizations.
Almost every year, there are various ventures that SMDC dispatches, and not at all like different designers, SMDC doesn't frustrate and really completes on schedule. To contrast it and different organizations in the industry, SM would have a benefit over them in view of the name as well as in light of its notices. SM has notable and regarded money managers taking care of its tasks in addition to the organization has been around for quite a long time, catching the devotion of the Filipinos.
Tumblr media
STARS - Based on the BCG matrix the condominium is in the star category because they have the highest market share among SMDC products being offered as of today. Asking several people, the first thing that will come into their mind when you hear SMDC are their prime located condominiums. Being on the high market share, the condominium remains to have a high growth rate and continue to rise their sales.
QUESTION MARKS - Under the question mark categories is the townhouse they have high market growth because they are the second option for the condominiums but on the contrary, they have a low market share because if you seek their opportunities, it is obvious that it was been given to the condominiums released by SMDC rather than townhouses. Another factor is because townhouses are not so up-to-date and convenient in today's setup.
CASH COWS - For the cash cows’ category is the house, obviously because SMDC are known for their prime location and elegant designs and trusted layout of house they have a high market share but low market growth. A primary cause of that is having too many competitors for houses in the real estate industry.
DOGS - For the dog it has a low market share and slow market growth and that is the SMDC lot as they decide to sell lot only slots in their product menu. It was stagnant in terms of sales and again this is because of the competitors in the real estate industry and in today's perspective and aspect it is really convenient and efficient for the people to find and locate for their own lot location.

Macau Hotel
Ang Macau Hotel ay isa sa mga lugar na kung saan may masasayang ala-ala na ako’y nai-uwi sa Pilipinas. Ito ay isa sa mga napasyalan kong hotel at isa din sa aking tinirhan na hotel nung kami ay nag-gagala sa mga hotel na pwede naming matirhan ng panandalian. Makikita dito kung gaano kasosyal ang kanilang hotel at kung gaano ka-mahal ang kanyang mga gamit na naka-display. Marami kang pwedeng pag-picture-an na puwesto dito dahil ito ay isa sa mga hotel sa Macau na sobra kang masisiyahan dahil sa kanyang ganda. Marami din sa mga Pilipino ang tumitira o naglalakbay sa iba’t ibang hotel dito sa Macau dahil ito ay ang kanilang isa sa mga the best na iyong makikita. Ang mga hotel dito ay may kanya kanyang lawak ng kanilang mga lugar. Sobrang payapa ng lugar na ito dahil kahit pa na ito ay maraming tao pero sila ay nasa kani kanilang mga sariling mga kwarto. Dito ninyo masasabi na sobrang linis ng mga hotel o ng mismong Macau dahil kahit isang kalat ay bawal dito.
Hong Kong Disneyland
Ang Hong Kong Disneyland ay isang theme park na matatagpuan sa reclaimed land sa Penny's Bay, Lantau Island. Ang Hong Kong Disneyland ay pasyalan ng karamihan na dumadalo sa China at ang mga iba pang lugar, karamihan sa mga pinapasyal nila dito ay ang mga bata. Ngunit karamihan sa mga pumupunta dyan ay mga pamilya na kahit walang bata, na-eenjoy naman ang puwesto na ito kahit karamihan sa mga dumadalo ay ang mga matatanda lamang. Karamihan sa oras naming sa bansang ito ay ginamit namin upang ikutin at maglakad-lakad sa iba’t ibang dako sa Hong Kong – pagpunta sa mga mainam na parke, sa mga hardin, pamilihan, at lalong lalo na sa mga magagandang lugar na matatanaw mo ang kagandahan ng bansa. Ang Hong Kong Disyneland ay parang Enchanted Kingdom lamang sa Pilipinas, marami kang pwedeng pasukan na rides at marami kang pweding ma-experience na mga palaro rito. Nasubukan din namin ang iba’t ibang kainan dito sa Hong Kong na kung saan halos karamihan dito ay naghahain ng pagkaing pang intsik tulad na lang ng, Chinese dim sum at dumplings na sikat na sikat dito. Hindi rin mawawala sa Hong Kong ang mga street food na kung saan ay marami kang mapagpipilian na pagkain, at bukod sa marami, ay mura at sulit pa.
Manaoag Church
Ang Shrine ng Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaoag ay isang paboritong pilgrimage site sa Pangasinan.Ito ay pormal nang itinaas bilang minor basilica sa isang matimtimang seremonya. Ang sinauna pang ivory image ng Our Lady of Manaoag o “Apo Baket,” na nakadambana sa mataas na altar ng simbahang Spanish-Romaneque, ang disenyo nito ay pinaniniwalaang milagrosa. Ang Manaoag Church ay isa sa mga pasyalan ng mga tao rito sa Pilipinas. Kami ng aking pamilya ay nagpupunta rito isang beses sa isang taon, dahil kami ay naniniwala na ang birhen na ito ay maraming natutupad na wish ng mga tao. Sa tuwing ang aming pamilya ay may bagong saksakayan, kami ay dumadayo rito para lang mag pa bless at sasamahan na din namin bumili ng mga bracelet o kwintas. Ang masasabi ko lang ay madadama mo dito ang ganda at kapangyarihan na ikaw mismo ang makaka-intindi. Nakita ko dito ang Rosary Garden na napakatahimik at napakaganda. Ang una kong nabatidsa lugar na ito ay ang “Lady Statue” na makikita sa pinakaharap ng Rosary Garden. At ang susunod narebulto ay ang lugar kung saan ako ay nagtirik ng kandila at humiling. Ang Rosary Garden at ManaoagChurch ay napakagandang pasyalan. Marami dito na pwedeng pasyalan ng mga tao, at marami din ang mga pumipila para lang maka kuskos ng kanyang basbas sa kanya kanyang panyo ng mga bumibisita rito.
Venice Grand Canal Mall, McKinley Hill
Ang Venice Grand Canal ay isang lifestyle mall development sa ilalim ng Megaworld Lifestyle Malls na matatagpuan sa loob ng 50-ektaryang McKinley Hill township ng Megaworld Corporation sa Fort Bonifacio Taguig City. Tunay nga na maganda ang mga tanawin sa bansang Pilipinas. Kailangan lamang natin itong tuklasin at buksan ang ating puso ukol sa magagandang bagay. Kami ay galing sa Tagaytay, at dineretcho kame ng driver na aming rinentahan sa Mckinley Hill, laking gulat nalang namin na ang lugar na ito ay ang ganda sa personal at hindi nasira ang aming tuwa. Sa aming paglalakbay ay madami kaming nakasalamuha na magagandang pigura at nagtataasang mga bahay na animoy nasa ibang bansa ka nakatira. Madameng mga magagarang kainan na animoy sa pelikula mo lamang makikita. Makikita mo kung gaano kasaya ang mga sumasakay sa boat at kung gaano kalinis ang tubig sa paligid neto. Ito ay pasyalan ng karamihan na turista na nagpupunta sa atin bansa, hindi ka magsisising pumunta dito kasi para kang nasa ibang bansa na ang linis ng kapaligaran.
