The evil Ravana attempts to tear the two apart only to find himself defeated and his demonic plans thwarted.

Amaia Steps Pasig has complete ready-to-use amenities.

Amaia Land is back with another game-changing campaign—the RFO (Ready-For-Occupancy) Home to Go promotion, which aims to make the home-buying process even easier. 

One benefit of investing in an RFO unit is that prospective buyers can examine the aesthetic of the home first-hand, since the unit is already fully constructed. Also, customers can get a glimpse of the existing community vibe before making the purchase. Most RFO homes already have existing amenities like swimming pools and basketball courts which residents may readily enjoy. Since the unit is completely built, buyers can immediately move in, while investors can rent out the unit sooner and get a faster return on their investment.
