Needed Habitat in Butuan City


The CEROS estate in Butuan City will be developed into an amenities-rich village. Mindanao is a wonderful place to build new villages. There are a thousand and one reasons why and we can only name some of them.

Due to the influx of mining investors in the mineral-rich Region XIII otherwise also known as the Caraga Region, there is a need for billeting and more residential as well as commercial spaces therein, especially in the regional capital, Butuan City. This is primarily the reason why Filinvest has taken to development projects in Mindanao.

Brisk and dynamic business exchanges are anticipated in Caraga Region in the months and years to come.  This is also bolstered by the current trend of development being diffused from Metro Manila to the regions in the south. Even some business process outsourcing (BPO) companies are locating outside of Metro Manila into the regions.

In response, the proponents of Fleurdelis Green Heights Village to be built at the CEROS estate, determined to address at least part of this growing demand for houses and commercial spaces in Caraga Region through the building of a village in Butuan City that will cater to the needs of the burgeoning market therein.

The project is also intended to help boost further the sports development program in Southern Philippines. The site location of the proposed project is shown in the vicinity map below. The property is in the vicinity of new government centers, the Caraga State University, the Pink Sisters Convent and Saint Peter’s College Seminary.


The project intends to target BPO outfits as locators in its commercial, mall and hotel complex. As a technology oriented holdings company, CyberparkHoldings Inc. will aggressively pursue a marketing approach towards attracting BPOs and similar locators to its project in Butuan City.  Aside from technical service providers getting drawn to the area, Mindanao has long become a destination for nationals of neighboring countries like South Korea, China and Malaysia as well as for distant neighbors in the Middle East.

Korean investors recently offered to put up business and sport centers to the City Government of Butuan. The Koreans’ facility will be constructed near the CEROS property where the City Government has already built 4-storey buildings for commercial purposes (see attached photos). The sports center site at the city government estate in Barangay Ampayon is more or less 9 kilometers from the city proper. The area is only a few hundred meters from CEROS and traversed by concrete roads.

The Koreans also want to put up gymnasium and sports playgrounds for football, tennis as well as other outdoor sports. The Koreans chose this area from among all the other places in Butuan City as it is flood free. The intention of the Korean delegation is to bring in thousands of South Korea nationals who want to stay in the place for about three to four months at winter time when they cannot play their favorite outdoor sports -- football, tennis, among others, due to cold weather. Among many other factors, with the Philippine-Korean project, it is projected that Butuan City will become one of the biggest sports centers in Mindanao.

In memoriam, Adrian

months ago, i wrote a tribute to a great man, adrian cristobal a contemporary of my elders. something about adrian that my elders -- most of them gone now --- used to say became firmly imprinted on my brain, he was a damn good writer. like the late blas ople, jolly benitez and their ilk, even to an extent kit tatad, adrian's writing surprised you. they used to say.

it made you think about how someone could write that good. a fellow writer of mine, belen, wherever she may be now did not have good words for adrian the way my elders do. she reads adrian cristobal, she reads about him, she probably hears of him alright but there's a mountain of difference if you saw the man and knew him and then you get to read what he has written.

that is the case with my elders. they rode with adrian in the lowly jeepneys, they ate lugaw, goto, arroz caldo, mami and other cheap dishes to stave off hunder with him in the poor man's carinderia / turo-turo, in small restaurants in quiapo, drank liquor with him, walked for tens of kilometers when they had no fare money. still that did not stop the man from rising above his stations.

that, most of all is what i admire deeply about the man. i knew adrian only from my elders, my father and his associates; saw him only from very far and wrote silly letters to him and his daugther who i got to meet once and only once. i got to meet jolly benitez more often, even chat with him in small talk on one or two occasions. not more than that.

but adrian, jolly and their ilk, to me will never die. like ninoy aquino, whose death to my mind is still in a suspended state, they will live forever.

surely i care that many will remember and honor their memory when all of them are gone. but as for me, it is enough and just fitting that knowing them, however superficially in person, albeit deeply from their fine repute and larger than life contributions, as well as their positive and benign effect upon other humans, gives me the chance to nurture the living imprint of their persona, their intellect and works.

in that sense, adrian, blas ople, ninoy and hopefully alive for a much longer while jolly benitez, in both the innermost recesses and conscious parts of my brain will always be animated imprints. always alive. always vibrant, oozing with life and their ideas, challenging the world and rocking the wretched, lazy dogs in their sloth and sleep. like me, and a few others besides...

so to you, an icon that i look up to, adrian cristobal, i shall not mourn. i shall not weep. i shall not feel the loss. for there shall always be in my mind, in my heart perchance too, in my soul, that ever stirring icon and a living and breathing script that is the quintessential epitome of the gift that you bequeathed on me though not on purpose but happily received after all.

pouvez vous long de phase mon cher idole!
