Empresa Homes, Inc., an affordable housing brand in North Luzon, recently renewed its Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Authority of the Freeport Area of Bataan (AFAB), a government agency that operates and manages the Freeport Area of Bataan (FAB) in Mariveles, Bataan.
With the competent management of the AFAB, the Freeport Area of Bataan is now the fastest growing freeport in the Philippines, handling over 28,000 import/export transactions in 2022. FAB currently employs almost 40,000 personnel, signifying growth that is expected to surge in the coming years, thanks to the AFAB’s approval of seventeen expansion areas in one city and eight municipalities of Bataan.
Joining the MOA renewal were representatives from AFAB and Empresa: from left to right: Ms. Donia G. Alonzo, AFAB Administrator Mr. Emmanuel D. Pineda; and Ms. Tessie Lanot, Ms. Avon Maniquil, and Miss Mae Shaira Matial Lara from Empresa Mariveles.
The FAB’s high rate of employment, along with its socio-economic initiatives, generates a great need for high-quality, value-for-money housing that, in turn, calls for a reliable and trustworthy homebuilder such as Empresa Homes Inc. Now offering better corporate discounts on house and lot units for the exclusive use of FAB employees, Empresa truly shares its vision of making homeownership a reality for the average Filipino. And it is a mission that benefits the rapidly growing FAB community.
The significance of the MOA renewal was not lost on the special guests present that day: AFAB Administrator Emmanuel D. Pineda; Empresa Homes Division Head Tessie Lanot; and Head of Market Research Avon Mananquil. Ms. Lanot, in fact, stressed on the Empresa-AFAB partnership as core to achieving Empresa’s mission of providing a roof over the head of every Filipino.
“The FAB in Bataan not only gives us a perfect opportunity to achieve this, but also presents a continuously evolving market that promises exciting opportunities in the coming years,” Ms. Lanot pointed out.
Avon Mananquil, Head of Market Research, concurred, saying, “Finding good business opportunities that help the average Filipinos, as signified by our MOA with the AFAB, is central to the Empresa Homes’ approach.”
