Kaydee Velasco’s brilliant ideas for national development
IN his radio program under RTVM last Feb. 7, 2021, Secretary Salvador Panelo discussed the need for urban planning and mentioned the young, awardwinning protege of Felino “Jun” Palafox, who is the premier urban planner of his generation.
Architect Kaydee Marie Velasco — the group chief executive officer of VI Group of Companies under which is the award-winning real estate company, KMV Asia Development Corp. — was commended by Panelo for her contributions as an advocate for green architecture and for her brilliant ideas in solving problems in urban planning.
“Sayang itong si Architect Palafox at hindi na-implement... Meron syang isang protege na kilala natin, itong si Architect Kaydee Velasco. Naku! Puringpuri ni Secretary del Rosario at yung isa pang ahensya ng gobyerno. Magaling daw ang utak. Kung anu-anno raw binibigay sa kanilang ideya tungkol sa city planning, pagtatayo ng mga bahay, pagtatayo ng mga green at kung anu-ano pa. Sabi ko,
eh, gamitin n’yo ‘yan at magaling ‘yan at protege ni Architect Palafox…kasi naman, ‘pag may naririnig tayo na magaling, eh, kunin agad natin,” Panelo said.
Velasco is a thought leader on sustainability in real estate and development. Under her group is KMV Asia, a corporate specialist on pocket developments in the Metro. She specializes in creating thoughtful, strategic and expert solutions for a multitude of urban industries including construction, architecture, and design, creating a diverse, learned assessment on real estate.
