Cebu is undoubtedly a wonderful place to live in: it is vibrant and full of activities and destinations. It is no surprise that many are looking for the perfect home in Cebu, especially one that best fits their family. Fortunately, there are many choices for families to thrive and grow, including Camella communities in Cebu.

There is no better place to experience modern comforts without breaking the bank than Cebu City. A business district, hospitals, schools, and entertainment hubs are within minutes of each other. The Cebu IT Park is where multinational companies have built offices and run large-scale operations.

Because of the work and educational opportunities the city offers, Cebu is a hotspot for the most sought-after homes in the province, of which Camella properties are at the forefront. Camella has two family-friendly subdivisions with views of sloping hills and the sea within Talamban in Cebu: Riverdale and Riverfront. 

Riverdale is a community set against the panoramic hills of Talamban in Cebu featuring Southern American-themed luxury homes.

Riverdale is a 13-hectare Southern American-themed community set against the panoramic peaks and clusters of pine trees while Riverfront is a residential enclave featuring the best-selling homes of Camella in an expanse of almost 10 hectares. This pine community features homes built on gently undulating terrain that fuses the efficiency of modern architecture with the natural contours of the land.

Linked to Cebu City via the South Coastal Highway, Azienda sits atop the hills of Talisay with five enclaves, each of which stays true to its Italian them.

For those preferring a more laidback atmosphere yet still want the sensibilities of modern living, Camella in Talisay streamlines the search for the ideal home in Cebu. Linked to the city through the South Coastal Highway, Azienda sits atop the hills of Talisay and comprises five enclaves that stays true to its Italian theme. 

Lapu-Lapu City is on Mactan Island, where the abundance of beach resorts and natural sites is what every family will appreciate. It is also where the Mactan-Cebu International Airport is located. Despite the increasing interest of homebuyers in the locale, Camella still guarantees a relaxing family lifestyle in the gated Camella Montserrat and Vittoria. Either development places families at the heart of a resort city, where beautiful beaches are just a stone’s throw away. 

The gated 17-hectare Camella Bogo features the best of modern and rustic living with its Spanish-Mediterranean theme.

One of the frontrunners outside of Metro Cebu has to be Bogo City due to the rapid developments in the area. The best of modern and rustic living with the Spanish-Mediterranean architecture is found in the gated17-hectare Camella Bogo. The homes are perfect for those looking at starter homes or a place to put down roots for generations.

Camella Carcar offers convenience and easy access to schools, recreational areas, and shopping centers-the ideal place to call home.

Carcar City has a tight knit community, preserving traditional Cebuano values. A home in Camella Carcar situates homeowners in the middle of this lively community, close to transportation routes and major centers. The 40-hectare Camella Carcar offers homes of modern charm with its Spanish-inspired architecture. It is conveniently connected to the city center through the South Road project, captivating prospective investors with its blend of the exciting urban rush and longed-for respite. 

A family home is more than just the physical structure and a roof over one’s head. It should provide opportunities for growth and strengthen family ties. Camella in Cebu ensures that you get that and more with its line-up of developments.

In a groundbreaking move towards more inclusive access to banking, The Bank of the  Philippine Islands (BPI) proudly announces a major expansion of its services, enabling BPI  account holders to deposit and withdraw cash at partner retail stores without any additional  charges. This innovative initiative is designed to transcend the boundaries of traditional banking  and bring accessible financial services directly to the heart of every Filipino community.

In partnership with Prince Stores and Prince Retail Group, this service marks another  pioneering move by BPI to extend its reach to more Filipinos, benefiting both unbanked  individuals and but also enriches the banking experience for existing BPI Depositors. "Last year,  we partnered with retail giants in the country to offer more Filipinos easy access to BPI products  such as savings accounts, credit cards, auto, housing, and personal loans, and insurance  products. This year, partner stores will also begin serving existing BPI account holders, allowing  them to deposit and withdraw cash from the nearest partner store. Together with our retail  partners, we are defining what it means to bank, to reach, to connect, to thrive" said Jose Teodoro Limcaoco, BPI President and CEO, during the official inauguration of the service in  Cebu on August 5.

The initiative streamlines cash deposits and withdrawals by leveraging established retail  locations, making banking more convenient for customers who may not have easy access to  traditional bank branches or ATMs. By integrating banking services with everyday retail  experiences, BPI is setting a new standard for banking accessibility in the Philippines.

Rally Jereza, BPI Agency Banking Head, highlights that the initiative completes BPI’s vision of  building “mini BPI hubs” in retail partners. “From allowing Filipinos to avail of BPI products in  both physical and digital platforms, we are finally extending access to regularly sought-after  bank transactions through established retail stores. This is aligned to the mission of the Bank to  build a better future for all Filipinos, one family, one community at a time” said Jereza. Jereza also promises ease of use and security for customers while transacting with partner  stores. "Cash deposits and withdrawals through partner stores are straightforward and designed  to provide seamless, secure, and rewarding experience to our customers.
