ILOILO CONVENTION CENTER

The convention center site was formerly Mandurao Airport (former Airport of Iloilo) until it ceased operations in 2007 and was demolished from 2012 to 2013. Megaworld Corporation developed the site and they built sets of attractive buildings or simply IG-worthy buildings. This is why Iloilo Convention Center was designed this way. Touring the Megaworld site makes Iloilo City one of the cleanest, most well-designed modern urban landscapes in the Philippines.

The Paraw-Regatta Festival inspires the iconic facade of the Iloilo Convention Center. Did you know that Paraw Regatta Festival is a Visayan outrigger sailboat racing held along the Dinagyang Festival? The triangle shape sails are used as an aesthetic rhythmic form of the convention center which becomes Iloilo’s signature landmark similar to Cebu’s Magellan’s Cross, the USA’s Statue of Liberty, and France’s Eiffel Tower.

The building was designed by an Ilonggo Architect, William Coscolluela. He is the principal architect of W.V Coscolluela & Associates (WVCA). The firm also designed famous buildings in the Philippines such as SM Aura Premier, SM Mall of Asia, and the Zuellig Building. In my view WVCA firm designs massive, iconing, and world-class quality buildings. His sons Ar. Gary and Ar. Gil continues his legacy of quality, innovation, and applying green architecture.

Kingsford Cafe is a Hidden Culinary Gem in Kingsford Hotel Manila

It had been a while since my last visit to Kingsford Cafe, so I was happy to be invited last week to rediscover this hidden culinary gem inside Kingsford Hotel Manila. I usually indulge in their themed weekend dinner buffets, but this time we were here to explore some of the unique and creative dishes on their a la carte menu.

Kingsford Hotel Manila is part of the growing lineup of homegrown Filipino hotel brands under Megaworld Hotels and Resorts. It’s located at Bagong Nayong Pilipino, just beside Okada Manila and right in the middle of the bustling Entertainment City. Since it's opening in late 2021 (Kingsford Café Opens Its Doors at Kingsford Hotel Manila), the hotel has been a popular choice for businessmen and travelers looking for a relaxing stay just minutes away from the NAIA airport terminals.

You can find Kingsford Café at the ground floor lobby serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus. The café comes with a refreshing and relaxing ambiance. Its contemporary design and cozy interiors are complemented with beautiful wall art pieces.

The restaurant can accommodate up to 128 guests with dedicated seats available for alfresco dining. Guests may also dine privately with sectioned dining spaces ideal for intimate corporate events and other social gatherings.

We were delighted to once again meet Kingsford Café’s Executive Chef Angelo Chubby Timban, a well adorned champion in international cooking competitions and celebrated for his creativity and passion for the craft. Staying close to his roots, Chef Chubby’s dishes pay homage to a strong Filipino upbringing but redefined through modern European techniques alongside contemporary Asian executions. The concept is to celebrate the rich produce of the Philippines and its multicultural influences by featuring nostalgic local flavors to capture the heart of every guest.

Last year, Chef Chubby had created a very special Sampaguita Menu which features dishes inspired and infused with our national flower, the Sampaguita. This also includes Sampaguita beverages like the SaMaRRa (P320) on the left, a refreshing Sampaguita tea combined with mango juice, tarragon leaves, peppermint leaves, and vanilla extract. On the other hand, the Paraw Regatta (P280) is a cocktail named after the annual Iloilo sailboat festival featuring the Paraw. It comes with Jasmine tea, vodka, mango juice, blue curaçao, and grenadine.

It was then time to try some of the featured signature dishes in Kingsford Café's a la carte menu. I've always been amazed at Chef Chubby's presentation and flavors, but we were really surprised with the new lineup that looks more appropriate inside a five-star fine dining restaurant instead of a casual dining cafe.

We started with one of their bestsellers, the Kingsford Laksa (P300). This is a modern presentation of the Singaporean laksa with its creamy laksa broth poured over a medley of shrimp, bean sprouts, crisp miki noodles, young corn and straw mushrooms. It's a different experience from the traditional laksa, especially with the crispy noodles, but the overall flavors of the fragrant laksa are still very much present.

My favorite and best new discovery that afternoon was the Kare-Kareng Bagnet (P450). This lovely deconstructed Kare-kare dish comes with crispy fried pork belly doused in a rich peanut and annatto sauce. It also has steamed lowland vegetables and served with slow cooked ginamos.

I really loved the crunchy chicharron together with the juicy and savory pork belly. This is one of the best versions of Kare Kare I have ever tasted and I would gladly come back to Kingsford Cafe just for this alone.

We also wanted to sample some of their special Sampaguita Menu, so we ordered the Gambas Royale (P580). This dish has big pieces of prawn al ajillo presented with Lucban risotto, soffits, asparagus, sampaguita, and mango salsa. It's not your usual Spanish-type gambas as it has less of the garlicky flavors but is more savoury and balanced, especially with the risotto and vegetables.

On the other hand, the Bistek Tagalog (P500) is a twist on the traditional Filipino dish. This one comes with thick and fatty roasted beef belly with grilled cauliflower, roasted rustic potatoes, monggo and sampaguita caviar in a caramelized calamansi and lacuna jus sauce. I've never seen Bistek Tagalog served this way but we really enjoyed this thicker, meatier, and more flavorful version.

For desserts, we also tried two of their colorful Sampaguita items that really put a big smile on my face.

The Sakura Brazo de Mercedes (P300) is as pretty as they get. This has a mixed berry mousse cake on the bottom topped with a cherry micro sponge and chocolate branch with edible soil. Usually, you can only find this type of presentation in fine dining restaurants, so I was really impressed that they serve this here at a very reasonable price. Imagine going on a date and being served this dessert. You will really be going home happy.

But that's not all, because I was even more impressed with the Mango Sampaguita Cheesecake (P320). I have eaten so many cheesecakes before but this was one of the best versions I have ever tasted! This deconstructed cheesecake is made with Sampaguita cream cheese, mango jelly, blueberry, and edible soil. The sweet cheesecake tasted like my favorite Hokkaido milk, so I really loved finishing this splendid dish.

Kingsford Hotel Manila also has a few promotions in store for Father's Day. Show your love for Dad in the best way—through his stomach. Take him to a tasty food trip experience with a Weekend Dinner Buffet or a Father’s Day Buffet Lunch and bond over delectable food selections as endless as your conversations. Go up to the fifth floor pool area for a savory Chill and Grill, and chatter over unlimited drinks and a platter of grilled meats against a stunning backdrop of the city. Then end the day relaxed and stress-free with their cozy Deluxe Room, with a high-speed internet connection and a TV for a fun movie time–just the way dad likes it.

Moments are definitely priceless, and so is their Kingsford Beer Mug! Make the moment last with a souvenir that he can use for years, and get your dad’s seal of approval at no cost, as the Beer Mug comes free with the room package. The King of the House Package starts at P8,988 nett for 2 pax and includes an Overnight Stay for 2, Buffet Breakfast for 2, Weekend Buffet Dinner or Father’s Day Lunch for 2, Chill and Grill for Dad, and a free Kingsford Beer Mug for Dad. The package is available from June 14 to June 16, 2024 only.

We also took home some chocolates courtesy of Megaworld Hotels and Resorts which features eight different flavors representing eight of their outstanding local hotel brands. We would like to thank Lance Bermejo, Marketing Officer of Kingsford Hotel Manila, for inviting us back at Kingsford Cafe to try out these wonderful new dishes. Kingsford Cafe is one of the most underrated and best value-for-money hotel restaurants in the city, so make sure to drop and discover this hidden gem.

Megaworld (MEG) Technical Analysis: Buy Now or Wait for a Rebound Above ₱2.90?

It seems that Megaworld Corporation will add more red days in its records as it continues to dance below its 10-day simple moving average. Do you see this as an opportunity to buy now or wait until it breaks above the resistance at ₱2.90?

Megaworld Corporation (MEG) Technical Analysis Megaworld Corporation has struggled to get past its 10-day simple moving average (SMA) for the past 21 trading days.

Savoy Hotel Boracay Opens Its Doors Once Again in Boracay Newcoast

Now that the pandemic is finally over, Bocaray island is back as being one of the best tourist spots in the world. We had a very fun weekend trip to Boracay last week as we rediscovered this “hidden” spot where you can get a private picnic by the beach with the Boracay Keyhole as your enchanting backdrop. Thanks to Boracay Newcoast, this pristine location is now easily accessible to travelers without having to spend too much of your budget.

As we get back on our travel feet, Savoy Hotel Boracay in Boracay Newcoast has finally reopened its doors after a brief hiatus during the last two years. Savoy Boracay opened in 2017, part of Megaworld Hotels and Resorts’ portfolio of regional hotels featuring 100% Filipino homegrown brands. The Hungry Kat was invited for a three-day, two-night vacation at Savoy Boracay to sample the amenities and all the island activities you can do in this private enclave.

Our experience actually started right at the Caticlan Airport where we were picked up for our private transfers to Savoy Boracay. Guests can arrange these land and sea transfers with the hotel for a flat fee and everything will be taken care of right until you are brought to the hotel lobby.

Savoy Boracay features 559 beautifully-decorated rooms which offer an embodiment of high island living standards. The hotel features 4 room types that offer the perfect spot for cooling down and relaxing after a day out in the sun. Best of all, room rates at Savoy Boracay are quite affordable with rates starting at just around P4000+ a night.

We stayed at their 55-square meter Executive Suite which is a fitting choice for those who enjoy lavish space. This corner suite comes with a queen-sized bed that opens up to fantastic views of the neighboring Fairways and Bluewater golf course or the Newport Beach.

We were given welcome drinks at the lobby as well as these chocolate treats inside our suite. These are highly appreciated especially after a long journey. We even got this cute stuffed toy which I gladly brought back home with me.

The Executive Suite comes with a separate living area which comes with its own LED TV and also its own bathroom. That’s plenty of room and space especially if you have kids and family together. A refrigerator plus coffee and tea making facilities are also available inside the living room.

A great feature of Savoy Boracay is that all the rooms come with their own private balcony so you can enjoy the fresh air and the fantastic views around Boracay Newcoast. (Read: Boracay Newcoast - The Island’s New Travel Destination). This expansive property on the other side of Boracay is a prestigious new development from Megaworld Corporation and Global Estate Resorts offering a different experience of the island, farther from the busy crowds and resorts at White Beach.

There are many activities and places to see inside the hotel and around Boracay Newcoast. Savoy Boracay offers several complimentary tours around the neighborhood including a visit to the nearby Keyhole Boracay. Access to the beautiful Cove beaches and use of kayak and paddle boards are also included. Savoy Boracay is also just next door to Belmont Boracay, which we visited last year, so you have two hotels to choose from for your stay at Boracay Newcoast.

Of course, there are plenty of things to do within the hotel itself. There’s a foosball machine right at the lobby to welcome guests. You can also schedule other island activities around Boracay at the tourist desk here.

Gym buffs can hang out at the Fitness Center on the lower ground floor. They also offer massages and body treatments at the Lila Spa beside the gym.

The main highlight of Savoy Boracay is that they don’t just have one, but two huge pools right in the middle of the hotel. Take a dip with the family or take some gorgeous photos by the bridge.

On the other side is the Party Pool where you can enjoy a splashing good time with your friends. Enjoy the sun while relaxing at the pool lounges or take a nap inside one of the cabanas.

In the evenings, the party pool takes on a different vibe and ambiance. Grab some cocktails at the Chambery Pool Bar while enjoying the night sky. They even have foam pool parties during weekends.

While Boracay Newcoast may be a bit far from the main Boracay beaches, guests staying at Savoy can easily get to D’Mall in Station 2 along White Beach through the complimentary shuttle services offered by the hotel. Just reserve your seats at the front desk and join the scheduled trips.

Our room also comes with daily buffet breakfast for two at Savoy Cafe on the ground floor from 6:00am to 10:00am. Savoy Cafe offers several culinary options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in casual and special dining concepts. It also offers private room dining and an open kitchen showcase.

You can sit wherever you like inside the bright and spacious restaurant. It also offers views of the Savoy pool just outside.

We started our breakfast with some breads and pastries. There is also a salad bar for those who like to start their mornings on a healthy note.

Cereals and fresh milk are available together with juices and hot coffee for refreshments.

I always like having eggs and omelette for breakfast so I had one prepared for me at the Egg Station. Here you can also find some pancakes plus ham and egg sandwiches.

Filipinos like their breakfasts heavy so Savoy also prepares rice and viands for their guests. There were several dishes to go along with our fried rice including fish fillet, bratwurst, orange chicken, baked beans, chopseuy, pancit, and more.

For desserts, we enjoyed some mini chocolate cakes to go along with puto, fruits, and other delicacies.

The best place to visit at Boracay Newcoast is their very own Newcoast Beach which offers a fantastic view of the Boracay Keyhole. At the center of this one-kilometer white beach is an expansive grand plaza called Newcoast Station where you can find food stalls, tables, day beds, and other activities to do. There’s also a daily happy hour at the Newcoast Beach Bar from 3:00pm to 5:00pm where guests can get 50% off on their favorite cocktail drinks.

The beach itself offers a calmer and more tranquil side of Boracay. This area is actually open to the public but is mostly accessible to guests staying at the hotels in the area. We even saw a beach wedding happening right here during our stay. It’s just a short walk from Savoy and Belmont Boracay so we headed here early one morning for a totally unique experience.

Savoy Boracay presented us with a private Sunrise Picnic by the beach just for the two of us. Instead of the usual breakfast at the cafe, they prepared this set breakfast for two with this stunning backdrop.

We enjoyed a sumptuous selection of beef tapa, danggit, sausages, bacon, potatoes, pancakes, donuts, cinnamon rolls, and fruits together with hot chocolate. We’ve never had a picnic by the beach before so this was such a memorable moment for us. Guests at Savoy Boracay can also experience this Sunrise Picnic for themselves starting March 15 for only P1300 per person.

We couldn’t leave this beautiful location without taking a few more Instagram-worthy photos. It’s like having your very own private resort in Boracay without having to spend a lot. You should also make sure to get a closer look at The Keyhole. This natural rock formation is a majestic sight to behold from the beach cove, but it gets even better when you see it up close.

We would like to thank Nico Ivan Velazquez, Group Director of Public Relations of Megaworld Hotels and Resorts, as well as Nichie Torres, Director of Sales and Marketing at Savoy Boracay, Jesse Ray Lazaro, and the rest of the Savoy staff for taking care of us during our stay. Savoy Hotel Boracay is destined to be the next big summer destination for families, barkadas, and corporate guests who want a place in Boracay to call their own. It's gonna be a happy summer!

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

0.0 = not important

1.0 = Important

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The oligarchs likely to benefit most under Bongbong Marcos

Which business groups or oligarchs have the strongest ties to the incoming administration of President-elect Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.? In Philippine politics, as is true in many countries in the Global South, most, if not all, major business groups will keep faith with the new administration in order to obtain permits or access to business incentives. However, some business groups will be closer to the administration than others. First, the initial cabinet appointments give some clues as to the ties of some oligarchs. Marcos Jr. has announced that Manuel "Manny" Bonoan, president of San Miguel Corporation (SMC) Tollways, will become the secretary of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). Real estate is one of the largest sectors up for grabs and Ramon Ang, the ninth wealthiest Filipino, is president of San Miguel. However, Inigo Zobel, the 21st wealthiest Filipino, is the president of Top Frontier holdings, which owns 66% of San Miguel. Inigo, a well-known friend of Marcos Jr., and his cousin Enrique Zobel, the fifth richest, is also a shareholder in Ayala Corp., one of the wealthiest companies in the Philippines. Bonoan's appointment can be interpreted as replacing the Villar family, who benefited immensely during the Duterte administration. Manny Villar, a former presidential candidate and the richest Filipino, chairs Vista Land & Landscape and owns the largest stake in real estate company Golden MV Holdings. Cynthia Villar, Manny's wife, switched from Benigno Aquino III's political coalition to that of Rodrigo Duterte in 2016. In return for their support, Duterte appointed Manny and Cynthia's son Mark as DPWH secretary. Just as Mark Villar used state power to disproportionally benefit his family's real estate business as head of DPWH, Bonoan will likely forward the interests of the Angs and Ayalas in the real estate and construction sectors. Marcos Jr. has yet to appoint secretaries in the departments of Environment of Natural Resources and Energy, two of the country's most lucrative departments. Other oligarchs have been out in the open, appearing at Marcos Jr.'s May 9 victory party. Greggy Araneta, the spouse of Irene Marcos, a Philippine senator and the President-elect's sister, holds executive positions in multiple companies across a range of sectors: Filipino conglomerate Dito CME Holdings, formerly known as ISM Communications, real estate developer Alphaland, LBC Development Bank and Asia International Travel. Other close Marcos associates include Kevin Tan, son of billionaire Andrew Tan, is the CEO and Vice President of local real estate giant Megaworld, with dozens of real estate ventures across the country. Sabin Aboitiz of Aboitiz Equity Ventures holds substantial investments in power, real estate, banking and biofuel. Some of these individuals have a strong relationship with the outgoing Duterte administration. For instance, Rodrigo Duterte has repeatedly praised the Aboitizes and Ayalas, despite his tirades against some families like the Lopezes and Ongpins. Others have issues with some government agencies, such as the taxation case against Megaworld and the Aranetas have a case before a special appellate collegial court known as the Sandiganbayan, which has jurisdiction over criminal and civil cases involving graft and corrupt practices. With Marcos Jr.'s victory, it is highly likely that these cases will be put aside, and the new president will most likely forward their business interests through favorable government contracts and policies. Expect other oligarchs who laid low under Duterte to now resurface, given their long-term relations with Marcos Jr. Roberto Ongpin, the 22nd wealthiest Filipino and former Trade Secretary under the President-elect's father Ferdinand Marcos Sr., is likely to benefit from the Marcos administration. It was Duterte who branded Ongpin an oligarch when he took away the online gambling privileges of PhilWeb, Ongpin's gaming company, and opened the sector to foreign companies. This resulted in the online gambling boom between 2016 and 2020, enriching the real estate and construction business groups whose families include the Sys, Ayalas, Villars, Consunjis and Gongkongweis. Since laying low, Ongpin has shifted his focus to luxury resort investments and is slated to make a comeback. The Atok Big Wedge, Ongpin's company, is developing a 500-megawatt wind farm power project on Patnanungan Island, which is close to his business resort in Balesin. This wind farm is three times bigger than the Burgos' wind farm, which was developed by the Lopez family during the previous decade. Marcos Jr. is bound to be supportive of Ongpin since Ilocos Norte, the Marcos dynasty's home province, holds one of the largest wind farms in the Philippines. In addition, Louise "Liza" Araneta Marcos, the incoming first lady of the Philippines, is a good friend of Ongpin. Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and his wife Louise, left, in front of the Supreme Court in Padre Faura, Metro Manila, in April 2018. © Reuters Finally, outside the wealthiest Filipinos and other known oligarchs, mining and tourism interests under the control of powerful politicians are likely to flourish under the new administration. For instance, Gibo Teodoro, a former secretary of defense under Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (2001-2010) and a candidate who ran and lost under Marcos Jr.'s Uniteam senatorial slate, is the chairman of Sagittarius Mines, which owns Tampakan mining. Since 2010, the provincial government has banned Sagittarius Mines from conducting open-pit mining in Tampakan, the largest copper-gold mining concession in Southeast Asia.
