Avida Land, PEF sign MOA for bid to save Philippine Eagle

Avida Land has entered into a sponsorship agreement with the Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF)—after the signing of the MOA, Avida officially supports the foundation’s efforts to help save the Philippine Eagle and its habitat. With the agreement, Avida is now one of the corporate sponsors of PEF in a concentrated bid to protect this critically endangered species. 

The Philippine eagle is considered one of the largest and most powerful eagles in the world. It is also one of the rarest of all eagle species, found only in the forests of Luzon, Samar, Leyte and Mindanao. Unfortunately, the destruction of forests threatens these raptors’ (meaning, “birds of prey”) existence. The Philippine Eagle is critically endangered and there only about 500 pairs left in the wild

Following the terms of the agreement, Avida Land will support PEF for the next 3 years to help breed Philippine eagles at the PEF sanctuary. The sponsorship also goes into efforts to educate the public on the importance of the Philippine eagle to Davao’s ecosystem and to our national heritage.

Avida Village North Point is surely an ideal place to build a dream home. Soon, this dream will take shape as Avida Land officially held its second groundbreaking ceremony in this 18-hectare development last March 17, 2012, signalling the start of the second phase of the site development.  

Located inside North Point, the only fully integrated master planned community in Negros, the project is set to be a place for a lifetime of beautiful memories for its future residents. After the project’s official launch and groundbreaking for the first phase of houses last year, Avida once again broke grounds on site, this time to commence the construction of the amenity area starting with the clubhouse.  

 “We are truly excited to finally start construction of the clubhouse, because it is something that has always been a vital part of a community as it serves a venue for gatherings and celebrations, be it with friends, relatives or neighbours,” said Pol Tanco, Avida’s Project Strategic Management Group Head of Avida Land for VisMin. With this amenity, residents will get to enjoy the same quality of living experience that homeowners already living in Avida communities across the country are enjoying. “And since Avida Village North Point is a low density community, which assures that there will always be time and room for every resident to enjoy these amenities year round,” he added.

The clubhouse is scheduled for completion by November 2012, while the basketball court will be ready by the second quarter of the year.

MUSIC LYF: Rock legend Pepe Smith, Letter Day Story collaborate on “Salamat"

Pinoy Rock Anthem “Salamat”, one of the most unforgettable hits of legendary OPM band The Dawn, gets a charged-up tribute with its latest revival by the up-and-coming rock idols of Letter Day Story, which also features Pinoy rock icon Pepe Smith. The official music video is now on YouTube.

Letter Day Story members were naturally excited over the prospect of working with Smith for the recording of “Salamat”.  All of them, Dex Yu (guitars and lead vocals), NotNot Vinzons (guitars), Oli Agustin (bass and vocals) and Ej Arabit (drums), said they felt honored and thrilled.

“Siyempre, Pepe Smith na yan eh. Kung wala siya at ang ibang members ng Juan dela Cruz Band, wala sigurong Pinoy Rock ngayon. Wala rin kami,” said Dex.

Their version of “Salamat” retains the very relevant and very Pinoy message of the original but also creates a more contemporary sound that brings the OPM classic to a new generation of fans. The music video was shot in select areas in NUVALI, a sustainable and environment-friendly development by Ayala Land in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
