Laguna and Cavite were added to the list of township projects of Suntrust Properties, Inc. to say thSuntrust is really an expert in spotting ideal locations to build communities. The two provinces are located in Region IV-A, collectively known as Calabarzon which comprises Quezon, Rizal, and Batangas as well. This region is considered the closest to Metro Manila and the Manileños’ favorite place to hold excursions. It is just two to three hours away from Manila.

Calabarzon region in Luzon is rich in history, culture and natural wonders. Vacationers flock there to unwind and relax but only if their schedule is free which is a very rare occurrence due to work or study. Suntrust solved this by developing master-planned communities inside Laguna and Cavite that bring homes closer to tourist spots.

Suntrust Laguna-Batangas (Culture-infused Townships)

Mandara is a modern Asian themed township at Barangay Tartaria in Silang, Cavite which covers 14 hectares. Ease your tired muscles by dipping in the infinity pool. Or you can gather family or friends to have a barbecue party in the picnic area with benches.

Verona is an Italian-inspired township at Barangay Pook in Silang Cavite. This 62-hectare project has an Italian-themed Nature Park and bridge ways.

Where to go:

• Villa Escudero = it is a coconut plantation and resort located between Tiaong, Quezon and San Pablo City, Laguna.
• Mt. Makiling = after an exhausting trek, you can dip in the hot springs at the peak to untangle your tired limbs.
• San Pablo Seven Lakes = where can you have fun riding the waves through rafting? Well, Seven Lakes is one place for sure!
• Taal Volcano and Lake = you will never truly have a Laguna/Batangas experience if you miss out on this famous tourist spot. 

Suntrust Cavite (Wi-Fi Communities)

Cyberville is 10-hectare township at Sabang in Dasmariñas, Cavite. It features a modern technology and garden community that is set for the future. This hyper connected township has selected Wi-Fi hot spots and with cable- and telephone-ready lines. Even their gazebo is Wi-Fi accessible.

Cybergreens at Barangay Santiago in General Trias, Cavite has the same concept. But despite its modern appeal, Cybergreens has its own children’s library. The big bonus is you can easily access the Internet by going to Wi-Fi enabled areas.

Both communities have 24-hour security system with CCTV camera to ensure the security and safety around the area.


Where to go:

• Museo De La Salle = you can travel back in time by visiting this place located inside De La Salle University in Dasmariñas, Cavite.
• Malicbiclibic Falls = located near the foot of Mt. Mataas na Gulod in Aguinaldo, Cavite. The water comes from three rivers, namely, the rivers of Magallanes, Aguinaldo, and Maragondon.
• Paragliding = sail the winds at Carmona, Cavite. It is a fun and exhilarating sport for thrill-seekers.
• Puzzle Mansion/Museum = be a child once again the moment you set foot in Gina Lacuna’s puzzle collection. This museum is recognized by Guinness Book of World Records in 2012 as having the biggest puzzle collection in the world, over 1,028 sets.
• Pico de Loro (Parrot’s Peak) = the highest peak in Cavite that resembles a stone tower. Not for the faint heart.

These are the several reasons why Southern Luzon is a great place to live in. One reason is that it is steadily becoming a more modern but is still surrounded by beautiful vistas and tourist spots.
