MANILA, Philippines - In a world where all lush sceneries seem to have been replaced by gigantic malls and towering buildings, where does the modern Filipino family stand?

Well, they are standing in between quiet country paths and noisy, gridlocked highways — unsure of which road is more suitable to building a home. The dream homes of most Filipinos used to consist of picket-fenced houses beside lush expansive gardens. But at the turn of the twentieth century, this has been traded in for corporate takeovers and high-rise apartment buildings.

But is the fast-pace city life what they want or do Filipinos still want to spend Saturday afternoons watching the sunset from their verandah while playing basketball with the kids in the backyard? If they are living in Forest Farms, one of the four communities in Filinvest’s township development Havila, they can actually have a combination of both.

True enough, a large number of the new generation of Pinoy families do want to veer away from the rat race of the city. They still prefer a home where sunsets are marveled at and not considered a signal of an ending work day. Only, some still give this up in exchange for the accessibility and convenience a city life promises. 

Found in the eastern part of Metro Manila, Forest Farms in Angono, Rizal offers generously-sized lots nestled within picturesque slopes teeming with age-old acacia and mango trees that are only a few kilometers away from the Ortigas Business District. This modern residential enclave is complemented by amenities that define convenience, leisure and most of all, a holistic lifestyle.

“Living in Forest Farms means that you and your family get to have your own private forest retreat that you can come home to everyday,” says [name] “Its natural environment exists side by side with the conveniences of modern living as schools, recreational and commercial areas like the Ortigas Business District are just minutes away.”

About Antipolo City

Antipolo City on the mountain ridges east of Manila where the sun begins to shine whose name refers to the Tipolo trees growing indigenously on its land, trees with broad leaves that provide shade while gently fanning in the soothing breeze. Antipolo is the city of pilgrims and contemplatives, tourists and traders, artists and artisans.

The poblacion is approximately 29 kilometers from Manila. Antipolo City can be accessed from Marikina via the Sumulong Highway, which passes through the poblacion; from Cubao, Quezon City via the Marcos Highway, which extends eastward to Quezon Province as the Marikina-Infanta road, and from Cainta/Taytay via Ortigas Extension.

Antipolo City is the second largest in Rizal Province next to Rodriguez. Its total land area of 38,575.04 hectares represents 29.4 percent of the total land area of Rizal. The City is divided into two (2) districts, subdivided into sixteen (16) Barangays. The 1st district consisting of 8 barangays namely Bagong Nayon, Beverly Hills, Dela Paz, Mambugan, Mayamot, Munting Dilao, San Isidro and Sta.

Based on PAGASA (Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Service Administration) Antipolo has type I climate which is marked by two (2) distinct seasons – the Wet from May to December and the Dry from January to April. The main climatic control operating in the climate of the area is actually the monsoon wind system. The warm southwest monsoon wind brings the rain to the city after gathering moisture from the Indian Ocean while the cool northeast monsoon moves as a dry wind and comes even drier after crossing the Sierra Madre geographic barrier.
