A homemaker’s work is never done especially when it comes to organizing parties in one’s dwelling space again. But consider it as more of an excitement than a feeling of being obliged as two years of not sharing a festive meal and good times with friends and loved ones is indeed a long period.

Shake, bake and fry with Philips Essential airfryer XL to offer the crispiness of meats but with only 10 percent oil used at best. its air technology swirls hot air to create the crispy texture of meat or a spring roll on the outside, but tender on the inside. it can make meals for five people in one go.

the secret to efficient cooking is the mise en place. Now, instead of spending hours welding a knife to chop ingredient­s, have he Philips Daily Collection Compact Food Processor instead. it has a powerful 700W motor and a two-in-one disc. Consider it the MacGyver of the kitchen as it can also effortless­ly shred bread dough, cheese, chocolate, and even hard vegetables. it even includes an in-bowl storage and a large feeding tube to minimize pre-cutting. For delicious smoothies, sauces and soups, the Philips Series 5000 Blender Core has a unique four-star blade, energyeffi­cient 350W motor, and ProBlend Crush technology to even crush ice perfectly. the blender has five speed settings to help control the ideal textures for sauces and soups. No more gooey hassle after use with the Quick Clean button for fast and easy cleaning.

Now, how does one cap a grand noche buena or an elaborate Sunday buffet for the fam? Serve good coffee made with Philips Daily Collection Coffee Maker, which can make 15 cups in one brew. it has an aroma twister that evenly circulates the flow of coffee for consistent­ly aromatic and rich tasting coffee.

and of course, after all the meals and drinks have been prepared, it’s time to make sure you’ve got a clean home to keep guests safe. Keep your home’s air quality steady with Philips 800 Series Compact air Purifier filters invisible allergens, pollutants and viruses from the air with just a push of a button. it also comes a two-layer filtration system with NanoProtec­t high-Efficiency Particulat­e air (hEPa) and pre-filter that captures 99.5 percent of ultra-fine particles to help keep dust, pollen, pet dander, and bacteria from spreading through the air in your home.

and for that after-party clean up that’s often a drag, Philips SpeedPro Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner continues to add to that stress-free domestic experience. its slim nozzle with side brushes for effective pickup, and its flexible design allows for lower angles to easily access under lower furniture and other harder to reach areas.

ositioning itself as a sustainabl­e real estate company, Damosa Land Inc. celebrates 18 years of being a homegrown Mindanaoba­sed company that has built communitie­s through the years. In its statement, the company remains committed to boosting the socio-economic growth of the region through an expanding portfolio of sustainabl­e developmen­ts — driving economic recovery across residentia­l, commercial, and industrial sectors.”

“The best houses, buildings, and projects are built with the strongest foundation­s. With that, I thank the whole Damosa Land team and our directors for continuous­ly fulfilling our mission to adapt to the shifting landscape of real estate and establish future-ready developmen­ts that will drive investor interest and expand opportunit­ies for our region,” said DLI president, Ricardo “Cary” Lagdameo.

One of its recently awarded properties is Ameria — a nine-hectare residentia­l subdivisio­n. Hailed as Best Eco-Friendly Housing Developmen­t by the PropertyGu­ru Philippine­s Property Awards, Ameria boasts wide open spaces, nature-centric parks, and sustainabl­y-built houses that are futureproo­f, durable, and environmen­tally friendly.

This year and in 2020, Damosa Land was also given a Special Recognitio­n in Sustainabl­e Design and Constructi­on for its strong efforts in utilizing ecofriendl­y materials in the constructi­on of their facilities by PropertyGu­ru Philippine­s.

Anflo Industrial Estate, DLI’s industrial arm, offers a state-of-the-art cold storage facility, was recently given an Excellence in Design for Greater Efficienci­es certificat­e — the first cold storage facility in the Philippine­s to be given such recognitio­n. The property garnered 51 percent energy savings, 29 percent water savings, and 38 percent less carbon emissions through the materials used in its constructi­on.

Mindanao’s partner in economic developmen­t

Launched in July 2021, the Damosa Diamond Tower — the first EDGE-certified office building in Mindanao — has been welcoming locators such as Sycip Gorres Velayo and Co. and a couple of business process outsourcin­g companies — OfficePart­ners360 and Full Potential Solutions Philippine­s, among others.

The company further proved to be on top of the shifting market demand as they started a franchise partnershi­p with Internatio­nal Workplace Group. This will give way for both companies to develop and operate eight IWG centers in Davao, Cagayan De Oro, and General Santos — paving the way for more investment and employment opportunit­ies in Mindanao.

Additional­ly, the Damosa IT Park, the first PEZA-accredited IT park in Southern Mindanao — ramps up opportunit­ies for BPO companies across the globe in as early as 2005.

Damosa Land has also positioned itself as the region’s partner in tourism developmen­t. Banking on Davao’s most prominent produce (banana), Agriya — the first agritouris­m developmen­t of Mindanao — was recently lauded by the Department of Tourism for its unique and futuristic approach in boosting regional tourism traffic through the region’s rich agricultur­al heritage.

Damosa Land introduced world-class hotel facilities like the US-based hotel chain Microtel by Wyndham in Davao and General Santos City. Launched early this year, Damosa Land paved the way to explore the beauty of Samal Island as they welcomed investors and tourists to the first marina lifestyle mixed-use developmen­t in the region — Bridgeport.

According to Lagdameo, “The Damosa Land team knows that the last two years were the hardest that we’ve experience­d as a company. Bouncing back from that, we have so many projects in the pipe that are poised to push boundaries and provide substantia­l solutions to enhance the economic resiliency of our region. We will continue to be stronger in 2023.”
