Discover Naic: A Rising Hub for Life and Leisure

Cavite, Philippines -  The energy in Metro Manila is undeniably fast-paced, vibrant, and constantly in motion, alongside the demands of congestion and busy routines. As urban pressures continue to mount, more people are now looking for a new environment that provides breathing room while still bringing the city vibes.  

Outside the metro, Naic, Cavite becomes an emerging destination for quick escapes and a promising place for long-term residential living. The rising community features a mix of natural destinations and cityscapes, offering a promising venue that individuals and families would visit and enjoy. 

A Place Built for Adventure and Getaways 

Naic is known for its beaches, campsites, heritage attractions, and food trip destinations, making it an ideal place for quick getaways and weekend escapes. Its coastal charm offers families and friends a refreshing break from the busy pace of the city, while its outdoor spaces provide opportunities to relax, reconnect, and enjoy nature. 

A trip to Naic can begin with a quiet escape into nature at Segundo Camp & Hike, where scenic walking trails and open spaces create a relaxing setting for light outdoor activities and meaningful bonding moments. The calm environment allows visitors to slow down, reflect, and appreciate the simplicity of spending time outdoors. 

After exploring the town’s natural attractions, visitors can continue the experience through Naic’s growing food scene. Local restaurants such as Lolo Claro’s Restaurant serve comforting Filipino dishes, while Handaan Cavite offers hometown specialties that showcase local flavors. Those looking to unwind can also stop by Pan Grill Resto & Cafe Naic to enjoy coffee and a cozy rooftop dining experience. 

Beyond its leisure and dining spots, Naic also carries a rich sense of history and culture. Visitors can explore the historic Casa Hacienda de Naic and admire its preserved architecture while learning more about the town’s heritage. Just nearby, the Diocesan Shrine and Parish of Immaculate Conception offers a peaceful space for reflection, adding a more meaningful and cultural dimension to the visit. 

The experience continues with recreational destinations that cater to families and groups looking for more active escapes. Visitors can enjoy outdoor activities at Paraiso de June Quixote or explore the world-themed mini landmarks at Torres Farm Hotel and Resort. With its mix of nature, local food, heritage sites, and leisure attractions, Naic continues to establish itself as an ideal destination for memorable adventures and relaxing getaways.  

Connected Through Growing Road Networks 

Naic has become increasingly accessible to Metro Manila through established major road networks, specifically the CAVITEX, Centennial Road, and Antero Soriano Highway. Travel to the municipality is also expected to become more convenient with the ongoing development of the Trece Martires–Naic–Indang Diversion Road. 

Public transportation also makes traveling to Naic more manageable, as visitors from Manila can take the PITX bus bound for Ternate, which passes through Naic. With these developments, what was once considered a long trip has become a more convenient escape for people seeking short getaways outside Metro Manila, without fully disconnecting from business and lifestyle opportunities in the city.  

A Growing Hub for Balanced Living 

Now more accessible than ever, Naic is becoming more than just a destination for quick getaways. The municipality is steadily evolving into a community designed for everyday living, where open spaces, improved accessibility, and growing opportunities create a more balanced and intentional lifestyle while staying connected to modern conveniences. 

As the municipality continues to develop, Naic is also seeing growth in its residential sector through emerging housing developments and expanding community infrastructure. These developments further strengthen its appeal as a livable town, offering future homeowners more opportunities to build a life in a peaceful yet connected environment.  

With its continuous progress, Naic is gradually shaping itself into a well-balanced community where natural surroundings and urban conveniences come together seamlessly. The municipality offers a lifestyle that stays close to nature while remaining connected to opportunities, comfort, and accessibility, making it an emerging choice for both short escapes and long-term living.

Home Credit, SIGMA Empower Cavite Youth through Muay Thai

Taguig City, Philippines | July 30, 2025 – Home Credit Philippines, the country’s leading consumer finance company, has successfully concluded its second year of partnership with the Self-Defense & Independent Guardian Martial Arts (SIGMA) sports clinic, culminating in a Muay Thai Summer Sports Clinic.  In a move to foster discipline, sportsmanship, and community engagement among the youth, the program empowered 120 children aged 8 to 12 years from Bacoor, Cavite and nearby areas for a summer filled with learning and discipline through the ancient martial art of Muay Thai.

This initiative is one of the pillars of Alagang Home, Home Credit’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) program which extends the company's commitment beyond financial services to actively giving back to the community, with a special focus on youth development.

As the program concluded, children demonstrated their newly acquired Muay Thai skills in presence of their parents, coaches, and special guests during a graduation ceremony on June 7. Certificates of completion were awarded by Home Credit and SIGMA representatives.

 

Muay Thai, the national sport of Thailand, offers a wealth of benefits for its young practitioners that extend far beyond the ring. "We are very grateful that Home Credit has once again given us this opportunity. I am very happy that the children are enjoying the training and learning a lot. The number one lesson is self-defense, but the most important is instilling discipline in the youth," John Derick Ignes, owner of the Muay Thai Sports Clinic, emphasized this holistic approach.

"Ang magandang naidulot ng Muay Thai sa mga anak ko ay natutulo sila ng self-defense. Bukod doon,  nagkakaroon sila ng physical fitness activity. Naiiwasan na rin nila ang mga gadget kung saan natutuon ang kanilang atensyon. Dito, natututo sila ng discipline,” shared Angel Rubi Cruz, a parent.

Many parents highlighted how martial arts foster confidence and resilience in their children. Josefina Canaria remarked, “Maganda po ang naidulot ng Muay Thai training sa mga anak ko, lalo na’t natutunan nila kung paano i-defend ang kanilang sarili kung sakaling may pagkakataon na i-bully sila.” Likewise, Bess Sia noted, “Ang magandang benefit na nangyari sa apo ko ay natuto siyang mag-self-defense kasi, parati siyang na-bu-bully. Ang sabi ko sa kaniya, ito na ang pagkakataon para mag-practice ka, pero gamitin mo sa tamang paraan.’”

As graduates proudly received their certificates, the event highlighted the power of community collaboration. Through Alagang Home initiatives, Home Credit demonstrates its commitment to supporting Filipinos and fostering a stronger, more confident youth.

“We believe in giving back, especially to the youth who will shape our future. As we continue to serve millions of Filipinos with accessible financial services, we’re equally committed to serving communities through sustainable, values-driven programs,” Portia La-ab, HCPH ESG Lead concludes.

The Muay Thai Summer Sports Clinic is just one of many Alagang Home initiatives that aim to enrich lives, empower communities, and promote environmental positivity. With more programs nationwide, Home Credit continues to be a trusted partner in building a brighter future for the next generation.

Coca-Cola PH, Partners Collect more than 1,000 Kgs of Waste in Coastal Cleanup in Tanza, Cavite

Coca-Cola Philippines President Tony del Rosario joined hundreds of volunteers in the coastal cleanup at Julugan Fish Terminal in Tanza, Cavite

MANILA, Philippines — Coca-Cola Philippines, together with Plastic Bank Philippines and Lighthouse Legacy Foundation, led over 200 volunteers to collect debris and marine waste at Julugan Fish Terminal in Tanza, Cavite, on September 16, as part of the International Coastal Cleanup (ICC).

Plastic Bank Philippines, ICC Philippines, Lighthouse Legacy Foundation, and the Don Bosco School of Theology were some of the organizations that joined Coca-Cola Philippines in collecting debris and marine waste during the coastal cleanup

Employees from the Coca-Cola Philippines system, together with waste collection members of its Ecosystem Impact Program with Plastic Bank Philippines and volunteers from ICC Philippines, Lighthouse Legacy Foundation, the Local Government of Tanza, Philippine Coast Guard Cavite Chapter, and Don Bosco School of Theology collected more than 1,000 kgs of waste to help address coastal waste issues in the area.

Zed Avecilla, President of Lighthouse Legacy Foundation, commended Coca-Cola Philippines for its longstanding commitment to responsible waste management, highlighting the company's "World Without Waste" strategy that was initiated in 2018, well before the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Law was enacted in the country.

Avecilla also emphasized the impact of raising awareness on the importance of managing waste to prevent them from getting into Philippine waters- through events like ICC. “What we are achieving through these events is the creation of awareness on responsible waste management and educating Filipinos about the EPR Law. In a way, we are appealing to their emotions to help the environment,” he said.

The ICC is renowned as the world's largest volunteer effort for ocean sanitation, with The Coca-Cola Company serving as a founding member of the Trash Free Seas Alliance since 1995. In partnership with its local bottling partners, the company is engaging employees, consumers, and communities in cleanups, providing resources, grants, and in-kind donations to help remove trash from beaches and waterways.

In the Philippines, Coca-Cola is doing its part to prevent marine debris through community-based initiatives like the Ecosystem Impact Program with Plastic Bank. This initiative helps build collection and recycling systems in communities to prevent plastic bottles from ending up in places where they should not be, while at the same time, empowering workers in the solid waste management sector.

Dhang Tecson, Global Director for Country Operations of Plastic Bank, thanked Coca-Cola Philippines for its annual coastal cleanup activity as well as the company’s invaluable contribution to advancing the circular economy of plastics in the Philippines. “Maganda ‘yung ginagawa ng Coca-Cola kasi hindi lang sa ating mga bahay nasisimulan ‘yung action, kundi pati sa ating komunidad (What Coca-Cola is doing is great because change doesn't just start in our homes but also in our community),” Tecson said.

Coca-Cola bottles can have many lives

Coca-Cola Philippines President Tony del Rosario emphasized that coastal cleanup activity is part of the company’s wider commitment to help tackle plastic waste. “No one wants to see empty packaging end up where it doesn’t belong. Our World Without Waste program is an ambitious global sustainable packaging strategy that aims to help drive a circular economy for our packaging in the Philippines. Together with our partners, we are making progress with still much more to do,” he said.

Coca-Cola Philippines President Tony del Rosario reaffirms the company’s commitment to help address the plastic waste problem through the World Without Waste global sustainable strategy and the May Ikabobote Pa consumer engagement initiative

The Coca-Cola Company’s World Without Waste global sustainable packaging strategy aims to make 100% of its packaging recyclable globally by 2025, use at least 50% recycled plastic in its packaging by 2030, help collect the equivalent of every can and bottle it sells by 2030, and bring people together to support a healthy, debris-free environment.

In line with this, Coca-Cola Philippines recently introduced new bottles made from 100% recycled PET plastic (rPET) for Coca-Cola Original (190ml and 390ml) and Wilkins Pure (500ml), in addition to Sprite 500ml introduced in 2019. The company also launched "May Ikabobote Pa" a consumer engagement initiative aimed at educating people about the actions they can take around recycling. Currently, Coca-Cola Philippines is expanding its network of over 2,800 recycling drop-off points across the country to make it easier for consumers to return their empty bottles.

Vermosa Estate is Future-Ready

It’s all systems go for the Vermosa in Imus and Dasmarinas, Cavite as more amenities and major support systems for its projected business and residential community go up in succession this year.

The Manila Electric Company (Meralco) is nearing completion of its 115 kV-34.5kV substation within the 752-hectare mixed use development along Daang Hari Road. The fully dedicated substation will house three transformer banks with a combined capacity of 249 megavolt amperes (MVA) to accommodate new and additional load applications in the area. Current and future Vermosa residents and business owners are thus assured of ready and reliable power from Day 1.

The Philippine Red Cross (PRC) has received lot parcel in Vermosa from Ayala Land Inc. on which to build its second headquarters in the province of Cavite. The Vermosa Red Cross headquarters will house the first-ever blood center in Cavite that can do complete collection, testing, processing and dispensing. It will ensure the ready availability of safe blood to Caviteños and nearby residents.

"The new office will provide ample space for the department services offices of Blood, Disaster Management, Safety, Volunteer, Red Cross Youth, Health, and Welfare Services. Additionally, it will feature a training center and conference facility that will support the organization's humanitarian efforts in the region," PRC said.

“Vermosa is much more ready for emergency response because it has a 24/7 response team,” said Moses Aragones, Vermosa Project Development Manager. Other government institutions that are part of the Vermosa master plan include a Philippine National Police (PNP) and Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) station office.

More community support features will go up in 2024. The community parish, the Church of St. Sebastian, will ground break in 2024, while the awaited Sports Play Park opens in the second quarter of 2024. Retail outlets, the new Ayala Mall Vermosa and a Landers Superstore will provide consumer perks to residents and guests. A transport terminal is part of the community support system.

By year end of 2023, a new residential district will be launched in the northern part of the estates, followed by a logistics facility in 2024. Vermosa is further expanding its commercial offerings with its latest phase of lots in Campus Town, opening up opportunities for locators to invest in property with fast-moving value appreciation.

“Imus City is one of the fastest growing cities in the province of Cavite in terms of population and industrialization. It has been recognized as one of the Most Competitive Cities in the Philippines and the Most Economically Dynamic component city in CALABARZON.”, said Vermosa Estate Head Cris Zuluaga.

“Vermosa is the gateway to all that dynamism in this area of Cavite and is itself the growth center in this part of the south. Easily accessible from Manila, Makati, Alabang and Tagaytay through various roadways and approaches such as SLEX via MCX, Cavitex, CALAX and the upcoming Cavite-Batangas Bypass Road, it opens its arms to residents, locators and visitors to experience suburban charm, first class amenities, robust business opportunities, and state-of-the-art facilities to pursue wellness and an active lifestyle,” she added.

Southern Residents await Ayala Malls and Landers opening in Vermosa this year

The countdown is on. Southern residents are looking forward to a leveled-up consumer experience as they await the opening of two big retail universes inside the Vermosa Estates in Imus, Cavite. And other attractions too.

Landers Superstore Vermosa and the newest Ayala Mall in Vermosa are set to open in the fourth quarter of 2023 inside the sprawling 700-hectare estates. Food brands like Panda Express, Chow King and Army Navy will join existing food chains McDonalds, Jollibee, Starbucks, Peri Peri Chicken, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, and Burger King in serving residents and visitors at Vermosa.

Soon, a 1.3-hectare Central Garden with a variety of landscapes and experiences will go up in the area. It will feature a Kids Park, a Calisthenics Park, and a Dog Park that will bring joy to this leisure part of the Estates.

More amenities, like the San Sebastian Church will ground break in 2024. The Playpark for kids and the young at heart will open in the second quarter of 2024.

Located along the Daang Hari corridor and straddling the towns of Imus and Dasmariñas in Cavite, Vermosa is easily accessible from Manila, Makati, Alabang and Tagaytay. Major road networks like Daang Hari Road, SLEX via MCX, Cavitex, CALAX and the upcoming Cavite-Batangas Bypass Road makes it convenient to visit or go home to.

Since it opened in 2018, residents and guests have frequented its lush, green grounds because Vermosa continues to be a welcoming haven where health and fitness activities and serious sports training can be pursued while a healthy lifestyle and leisurely family activities are experienced. Residents and guests are welcome to experience the Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub. The one-stop fitness destination has training facilities for triathletes, a 400-m oval track, an Olympic-sized pool, a motocross track, a bike trail and a sports science lab and community center.

Guests and residents of nearby areas also get to enjoy weekend bazaars, running events, occasional concerts, and food outlets at Vermosa, making it a hub of relaxation and recreation, besides being a residential, retail and business zone.

Then ultimately, the anticipated opening of Ayala Malls and Landers later in the year is what excites Vermosa residents and habitués the most as it would bring feel-good experiences come the holidays.

“Vermosa is the next growth center in the southern district, and we're excited to be a part of it. With its impressive development, healthy environment, and ease of access, this is a location that will let us serve the needs of around 4M residents in Cavite, and be able to bring them closer to enjoying premium products and shopping amenities. We see a bright future for Landers in Vermosa. The prime location of the estate will really make it one of our best superstores yet” says Mr. Lowell Yu of Landers Superstore.

The completion of Vermosa’s other amenities is being similarly anticipated as both business and pleasure thrive in the Estates.

Vermosa Green Run returns with a Deeper Commitment to the Environment and an added Run for Dogs

Due to insistent public demand, Vermosa Estate’s fun and healthy Green Run will be back on June 25, this time packing more treats and surprises for both serious and casual runners. This year’s theme is “We’re Back And Greener Than Ever”.

The Run celebrates the green outdoors while promoting healthy and active living. This year, it becomes even more fun as dog lovers can now run with their four-legged, furry babies and friends, giving both pets and their owners a great way to bond, get fit and have a meaningful experience.

Alongside the 1KM Dog Run, Vermosa Green Run 2023 is also bannered by four other running events for runners of varying fitness levels. Serious athletes, athletes in training, weekend athletes, fun runners, fitness enthusiasts, family and friends can choose which one among the 21K, 10K, 5K, 3K or the 1K Dog Run they would like to conquer at Vermosa. Celebrity runners, dog owners and athletes are expected to take part in this year’s Green Run.

Following its success in 2022, Green Run is organized and brought to life by Pinoy Fitness, a running, fitness and multisport event organizer. Proceeds of the Run will go to Haribon Foundation’s Adopt-a-Seedling Program, to build a greener tomorrow. Moreover, runners and guests can help protect the environment by recycling their plastic bottles at the Sun Life ReCycle PH machine on-site. Every bottle donated can earn participants points which can then be exchanged for prizes.

Green Run’s official non-life insurance partner, FPG Insurance, will also provide free group personal accident insurance to runners who register for the race.

“One of the major enticements to run The Green Run is the breathtaking scenery and the abundant foliage throughout the 750-hectare property. Running in a green, wide open environment is extra motivating and beneficial to physical and mental health,” says Monch Henares, award-winning journalist and motoring/travel blogger.

“Open spaces, wide pedestrian walkways, bicycle and jogging lanes that wind through Vernosa make the running both memorable and inspiring,” says Arabelle Jimenez, lifestyle blogger, travel writer and swimming coach who regularly runs in Vermosa for fitness and fun.

Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub General Manager Lani Tan, a sports and fitness enthusiast herself, said holding The Green Run yearly is part of Vermosa’s long-term plan because the Estates actively promotes sports and an active, healthy lifestyle.

"Our Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub, a state-of-the-art professionally–managed sports facility that has a FINA-standard Olympic size pool, a warm-up pool, an IAAF-standard 400m track oval, a football pitch, athletes’ lounge and a Sante Fitness Lab, all speak about our commitment to fitness, health and overall wellness as well as the development of Philippine sports,” Tan said.

Vermosa Project Development Manager Moses John Aragones, says “Last year, we encouraged people to re-enjoy the outdoors after years of being cooped up at home due to the pandemic. This year, we want to build on that newfound appreciation by inviting people to develop a habit for fitness and wellness. Physical activities like running really boost our immune system by providing more refreshing experiences that reduce stress. The abundance of wide-open spaces and state-of-the-art sports facilities at the Sports Hub, make The Green Run a once-a-year activity to look forward to as a mental and physical health booster.”

Pocari Sweat, Milo, Fitbar, and Merrell Shoes support The Green Run this year.

Those interested to join The Green Run may register at Toby’s or Runnr stores or go to ayalaland.myruntime.com to register.


ABOUT VERMOSA

Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub (AVSH) is located within Ayala Land’s sprawling 750-hectare estate along Daang Hari Road, Imus, Cavite.

AYALA LAND’S VERMOSA ESTATE GROWS RAPIDLY, EXCITES INVESTORS, BUSINESSES, COMMUNITIES

Vermosa, Ayala Land’s fourth largest estate said to be the new business and lifestyle district of the South, is in intense growth mode in 2023.

 

The next financial and commercial center down South is expanding retail outlets and services, also adding features and amenities like parks, a government center, a church and malls that support community and commercial needs.

 

Residents, investors and businesses are excited about the rapid rise of commerce and a thriving community inside the 725-hectare central business and residential district that straddles the cities of Imus and Dasmarinas in Cavite. Boasting a complete package of residences, malls, offices, institutions, schools, entertainment venues, government centers, BPOs and a world-class training and lifestyle destination for athletes and fitness enthusiasts, Vermosa continues to spur growth in the Daang Hari corridor.

 

Meralco is putting up a dedicated substation within Vermosa to ensure continuous power to homes, commercial establishments, institutional facilities and the growing features and amenities of the Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub (AVSH). A Landers Superstore, the Ayala Malls Vermosa, Army Navy and Panda Express drive-thru stores will soon rise in the area, joining brands like Petron, Starbucks, McDonalds, Jollibee, Burger King, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf and Peri- Peri Chicken in servicing the area that has become a busy east-west connector. A government center will soon provide vital services with the Philippine Red Cross also putting up a headquarters in place.

 

Capital values for commercial lot investments have thus almost doubled at 82% since the Estate was launched in 2014. Home investors have expressed satisfaction with the high turnover rates of the different residential areas.

 

Now, the different residential communities composed of the 125-hectare private enclave called The Courtyards by Ayala Land Premier, the stand-alone 36-hectare upscale modern community of Alveo’s Ardia, and the 10-hectare Avida Verra Settings located in the residential district, are preparing to welcome their projected initial 2,000 residents.

 

Meanwhile, Vermosa Campus Town, the estate’s commercial business district -- a modern, contemporary urban center with ultra-wide landscaped pedestrian walkways, bicycle lanes, jogging paths, an active street life and pocket parks -- will complement the varied lifestyles of residents and outside guests.

 

More key developments are in the works ensuring that Vermosa lives up to its promise of being the leading growth center in the South, attracting investors and businesses wanting to expand in this part of the metro.

 

Vermosa is strategically located near key urban centers and made accessible by a network of roads like Daang Hari, SLEX, MCX and CALAX. Greater accessibility to the estate’s residents, visitors and enterprises is provided by access points in Daang Hari and Molino Highway.
