Safe and Stylish Homes for Students

For our parents and their parents, accommodation near the university meant a dormitory, a building with its warren of rooms where they had to live with strangers and share the kitchen, dining area and bathroom with them. Because of cramped living conditions, little or no privacy was maintained. A modicum of security was offered by a guard; a round-the-clock CCTV surveillance was rare if not downright non-existent.

Students of today have far better choices and more flexibility in choosing their second home as they embark on their university life. Vista Residences, a company under Vista Land & Lifescapes which has been providing quality homes for the Filipino family since 1977, positions itself as the foremost real estate developer that caters to the student market. Currently, it is building three projects near the top universities in the country: 878 España (University of Santo Tomas), Vista Residences Taft (De La Salle University) and Vista Residences Katipunan (Ateneo de Manila University and University of the Philippines).

Unfortunately, they parted ways, leaving Binoy with his mom. She only finished second grade in school. Thus, having high hopes with regards to education for Binoy.

Like any other moms, she is willing to sacrifice everything just to give Binoy a bright future.

This will be Sheena’s first time on being a mom for her role as Agnes that is why she cannot help but feel nervous to play the part. “Everytime nga na mageeksena ako, siyempre first time kong maging nanay. Lagi ko tinatanong ang Executive Producer namin, ‘Ganoon ba maging nanay? Tama ba yung emosyon ng pagiging nanay? Kasi siyempre ako, alam ko naman papaano malungkot, paano masaktan, pero hindi ko pa kasi naramdaman kung papaano yung sakit kapag yung anak mo yung malungkot.”
