 MVP-led Landco Pacific Corporation,strengthens its commitment to sustainable luxury living through a landmark partnership with ACEN, the Ayala Group’s listed energy platform and one of Asia Pacific’s fastest-growing renewable energy companies.

Through this collaboration, CaSoBe (Calatagan South Beach),Landco Lifestyle Ventures’ (LLV) flagship development that embodies a distinctive resort lifestyle and vibrant leisure-tourism experience in Batangas, will now be fully powered by renewable energy. This milestone reinforces its standing as a pioneering model for sustainability-driven coastal development in the Philippines.

“Sustainability is deeply ingrained in Landco’s DNA. We pursue it not because it’s required, but because it’s the right thing to do. This transition to 100% renewable energy is a significant stepfor CaSoBe and aligns perfectly with our commitment to environmental stewardship,” said Erickson Y. Manzano, President and CEO of Landco Pacific Corporation and LLV. 

Landco Pacific Corporation and ACEN seal the deal to power the future of CaSoBe with renewable energy. From left: Engr. Osmundo Punzalan, Technical Director Landco Pacific Corporation; Erickson Manzano, President and CEO, Landco Pacific Corporation;  Tony Valdez, Senior Vice President Marketing Transformation and Retail, ACEN; and Sheila Mina, Vice President Commercial Operations ACEN and Head of Account Management ACEN RES.

“By partnering with ACEN, we are not only ensuring a greener operation for our resort but also offering our guests a truly sustainable and responsible leisure experience,” Manzano further shared.

A Partnership for a Greener Tomorrow

Under this partnership, ACEN Renewable Energy Solutions (ACEN RES) will supply clean, reliable, and affordable power to CaSoBe, supporting ACEN’s goal of 100% renewable energy generation by 2025 and Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Businesses supplied through ACEN RES earn the “Powered by Renewable Energy” badge, a mark of sustainability leadership proudly carried by CaSoBe.

The landmark agreement, facilitated through the Department of Energy (DOE)’s Green Energy Option Program (GEOP), underscores Landco’s commitment to sustainable tourism and operational excellence, positioning CaSoBē as a leader in environmentally responsible leisure development in the Philippines.

The (GEOP) allows eligible end-users with a minimum average monthly consumption of 100 kilowatts to directly choose their renewable energy supplier and shift their power supply to 100% clean energy sources. This empowers consumers to drive the transition to a sustainable energy future.

ACEN RES is currently the market leader in GEOP, holding a 57% market share according to the latest Competitive Retail Electricity Market (CREM) report from the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC).

A Legacy of Purposeful Living

Landco Pacific continues to redefine beachfront investments with destinations like CaSoBe that blend long-term value with mindful living. “Owning a Landco BeachTown property is more than an investment, it’s a legacy,” said Manzano. “With our strong commitment to sustainability, it’s something you can enjoy today and pass on to future generations, ensuring both well-being and environmental harmony for years to come.”

CaSoBe offers mixed-use residential and commercial lots, allowing investors to build sustainable beach retreats, bed-and-breakfasts, or businesses that cater to the tourist market.

Quiet Luxury That Feels Good: Sustainable, Serene, and Distinctly CaSoBe

Located three hours from Metro Manila and renowned for its quiet luxury lifestyle with stunning beach sunsets, the 15-hectare master-planned leisure resort estate seamlessly integrates eco-conscious design, local entrepreneurship, and memorable seaside experiences. The coastal development’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) registration, EDGE certification for LLV with its eco-friendly Crusoe Cabinsat CaSoBe, and EDGE Advanced certification for its iconic beachfront condotel The Nautilus underscore its commitment to environmental stewardship.

CaSoBe exemplifies sustainable luxury through a combination of energy efficiency, eco-conscious design, and community-centered initiatives. The Crusoe Cabins reduce energy consumption by 34%, water use by 57%, and embodied energy by 65%, while The Nautilus is projected to save 43% energy, 37% water, and 38% embodied energy. The estate’s design integrates permeable walkways, scenic bike lanes, a double-piping system for water recycling, LED lamp posts, blue-colored roads, and murals of marine life, creating a harmonious connection with nature. 

Beyond environmental stewardship, CaSoBe actively engages with the local community through CSR programs, including the Adopt-a-Scholar initiative with Batangas State University and nearby schools, mangrove planting, turtle hatchling releases, and local employment, with 70% of LLV staff drawn from the surrounding area.

Curated Stays and Bespoke Leisure, All in One Iconic LLV Estate - CaSoBe

CaSoBe offers a unique blend of innovative accommodations and leisure experiences designed to delight everyone. Alongside Crusoe Cabins, visitors can stay in the futuristic Apollo Aeropods, which combine novelty and comfort in a serene beach setting. For a more distinctive stay, the geodesic dome-shaped Cupola and pod-like Cocoons offer playful yet stylish retreats, while the 300-sqm Chairman’s Cabin, the weekend residence of MPIC Chairman Manny V. Pangilinan, and the 15.5-meter CaSoBe Lighthouse stand as iconic landmarks of the estate.

Adding a signature residential dimension to the estate is The Nautilus — a visionary beachfront condotel whose design draws inspiration from Jules Verne’s legendary submarine Nautilus in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, carved into CaSoBe’sshoreline like a ship anchored by the sea. This homage to exploration and innovation gives The Nautilus an iconic silhouette that reflects both curiosity and elegance, mirroring the sense of discovery that comes with every sunrise and sunset by the water. 

The Nautilus offers 171 residential units and five commercial spaces designed for modern seaside living, each with panoramic bay views, generous ceiling heights, and energy-efficient features that blend sustainability with luxury. 

Leisure and entertainment abound, from the 300-capacity Canopy events space and dining experiences at Sands and Captain Barbozza restaurants, to the Aquaria Water Park with three-story slides. Active guests can enjoy basketball, volleyball, biking, and island-hopping adventures, ensuring every moment at CaSoBe is a celebration of beachside luxury and playful indulgence.

The estate’s green corridors, walking paths, and direct beach access also encourage wellness and reconnection with nature, offering curated water activities, recreation, and leisure experiences for mind and body.

CaSoBe complements Calatagan’s rich heritage that showcases Cape Santiago Lighthouse, Starfish Island, and premium golf and polo clubs. Recognized as Lifestyle Hotel of the Year at the TDM Travel Trade Excellence Awards 2025, CaSoBe is soon to be rebranded as one of LLV’s Signature Estates, embodying immersive, meaningful experiences where sustainability, luxury, community, and inspired living coexist in perfect balance.

CaSoBe Redefines Laidback Luxury

At CaSoBe, laid-back luxury is defined not just by its spaces, but by the emotions it evokes. LLV’s signature approach creates a destination where families, couples, and loved ones can slow down, reconnect, and make memories by the shore. It’s a place that brings a deep sense of calm, where time stretches gently and the mind can breathe. Its thoughtful architecture and inviting coastal spaces spark a feeling of belonging, as if every corner was designed for shared laughter, lingering conversations, and meaningful moments. 

A Sense of Calm​​​​​​​​​​​                               

At CaSoBe, calm isn’t just a mood, it’s the rhythm of daily life by the sea. Families arrive and instantly feel the shift: the noise fades, the mind settles, and the gentle soundtrack of waves takes over. Parents find quiet corners to breathe and unwind, while children experience a freedom that only open beaches can give. Morning strolls become slow and intentional, conversations feel unhurried, and even the simplest moments, like watching the tide roll in, turn into shared rituals of peace. This is where the world softens, and loved ones find space to simply be.

A Sense of Belonging

Thoughtfully designed spaces make every guest, from toddlers to grandparents, feel at home. CaSoBe’s architecture blends seamlessly with the natural landscape, creating an environment where families move effortlessly from one experience to another. It’s the kind of place where kids can explore safe, open areas while parents relax under shaded loungers, and where multigenerational gatherings feel natural, from bonding in beachfront cabanas to storytelling sessions under starlit skies. Loved ones feel connected not just to each other, but to a community shaped by warmth, openness, and coastal hospitality.

A Sense of Joy

Joy at CaSoBe comes in many forms: big, bright moments and small, unforgettable ones. Families gather around coastal cuisine that celebrates Calatagan’s flavors, from fresh seafood feasts to comforting Filipino favorites enjoyed with sea views. Kids laugh as they chase waves, couples sneak away for sunset dates, and grandparents savor quiet moments with their grandchildren building sandcastles. Every experience sparks delight: spontaneous photoshoots on the boardwalk, weekend markets showcasing local makers, or beach games that turn into family traditions. At CaSoBe, joy is effortless, abundant, and shared.

 

A Sense of Connection

Here, connection flows naturally, with nature, with loved ones, and with oneself. The beach becomes a place where families rediscover each other without distractions: holding hands during long shoreline walks, sharing stories around bonfires, or celebrating milestones by the water. The textures of coastal living — warm sand, cool sea breeze, sunlit afternoons, become the backdrop of meaningful moments. Whether it’s reunions, bonding trips, or much-needed getaways, CaSoBe gives families a space to strengthen relationships and deepen the ties that matter most.

A Sense of Renewal  

With every visit, CaSoBe awakens something new in its guests. The sea air brings clarity, the landscape inspires gratitude, and the unhurried pace refreshes the spirit. Families leave feeling lighter, recharged, and more connected than when they arrived. It’s a place where parents rediscover balance, kids rediscover wonder, and couples rediscover each other, making CaSoBe not just a destination, but a retreat for emotional renewal. Long after the trip ends, these moments stay with them, calling them back to the shore where renewal began.

Across the Olympic Villages, TCL smart home appliances ensured comfort for athletes, while specially optimized display systems enabled the “Athlete Moment,” supporting more than 350 emotional connections between athletes and loved ones.

 

 

The emotion and drama of Milano Cortina 2026 was embodied in the stories of the athletes TCL supports as part of Team TCL, whose resilience and pursuit of excellence helped to inspire people worldwide to recognize their own greatness and push beyond personal limits in their daily lives. While the commitment of these athletes resulted in outstanding achievements, their spirit demonstrated that true greatness is found beyond the podium, embodying the meaning behind TCL’s “It’s Your Greatness” campaign.

The real impact of innovation is in helping to put human stories front and center on one of the biggest stages in sport.”

 

Beyond competition venues, TCL also connected directly with the public through a series of immersive events, beginning with its “Wishes For Greatness” Winter Wonderland in the lead-up to the Olympic Winter Games.

TCL also partnered with the Olympic Museum, painter and Olympian Zeina Rashid, and 3D mural artist Bublegum to create a vibrant mural in downtown Milan. Inspired by Zeina’s childhood memories of watching the Olympic Winter Games on television, the mural fused sport, art and technology to bring to life the unique cultural impact of the Olympic Games.

 

 

Kirsty Coventry, President of the International Olympic Committee, said: “The Olympic Games are becoming more connected, more digital, more global. TCL technology is transforming how the Olympic Games are experienced, making every moment immersive and emotional. Our partnership is based on shared values — innovation with purpose, always inspiring greatness. Together, we will continue to bring the Olympic Games closer to athletes, fans, and communities around the world."

 

TCL now looks ahead to the Paralympic Winter Games, taking place from March 6 to 15, featuring six winter sports including para Alpine skiing, para biathlon, para cross-country skiing, para ice hockey, and para snowboarding. TCL will proudly cheer on its two Team TCL athletes: accomplished Brazilian wheelchair racer and skier Aline Rocha, and Brazilian para cross-country skier Cristian Ribera as they compete on the world stage, inspiring others through their resilience and determination.

 

With a long-term commitment as a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner, the company looks forward to building on the strong foundations established during Milano Cortina 2026.

PLDT Home Champions Women-Led Enterprises This Women’s Month

 A growing number of women across the Philippines are turning online platforms into full-fledged businesses, reshaping the country’s entrepreneurial landscape in the process. This Women’s Month, PLDT Home highlights this surge and expands its support for women-led enterprises through stronger connectivity, AI training, and programs aimed at helping businesses scale responsibly.

Recent data from the Philippine Commission on Womenshows just how significant this shift has become. Women own 66 percent of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and lead 62 percent of newly registered businesses. These figures underscore the growing influence of women as economic drivers and community builders nationwide.

Recognizing this impact, PLDT Home has long positioned connectivity as the backbone of women’s entrepreneurship. What began as support for home-based businesses during the pandemic has now evolved into a movement that provides a digital infrastructure, enabling thousands of women to run efficient, competitive, and fully online ventures.

A key reflection of this commitment is Madiskarte Moms PH (MMPH), powered by PLDT Home. From a small online community, it has expanded into a nationwide network of more than 225,000 women entrepreneurs, now among the largest in the country. Its growth represents a broader movement toward women’s financial independence, leadership, and long-term business resilience.

PLDT Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer Menardo “Butch” G. Jimenez, Jr.

“Women are already shaping the country’s entrepreneurial landscape in powerful ways,” said Menardo “Butch” Jimenez, Jr., PLDT Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer. “Our role is to ensure they have the digital infrastructure and future-ready capabilities to sustain and scale that impact. Connectivity today is more than access — it is an enabler of innovation, inclusion, and long-term growth.”

Deepening AI Capabilities for Women Entrepreneurs

Madiskarte Moms PH community members at the 2025 Gemini Academy

As the digital economy evolves, PLDT Home continues to expand beyond connectivity to include skills development and innovation support.

Building on the success of last year’s Gemini Academy in partnership with Google Philippines, PLDT Home will once again bring the program to Madiskarte Moms, this time with more advanced discussions reflecting how rapidly artificial intelligence has evolved over the past year.

From enhancing digital marketing campaigns and generating smarter customer insights to supporting product innovation, streamlining operations, and simplifying accounting processes, the enhanced Gemini Academy aims to equip women entrepreneurs with practical tools to embed AI into every stage of their business. By integrating AI across marketing, product development, operations management, and financial tracking, mompreneurs can work more efficiently, make data-driven decisions, and build enterprises that are both competitive and sustainable in today’s fast-evolving digital economy.

Recognizing Sustainable Leadership

PLDT Home also champions long-term, sustainable entrepreneurship through the annual Gawad MadiskarteAwards.

On March 28, the 4th Gawad Madiskarte Awards Ceremony will recognize outstanding mompreneurs who exemplify innovation, resilience, and sustainable growth. These women are building enterprises designed to endure — generating livelihoods, supporting communities, and contributing meaningfully to economic development.

By combining reliable connectivity, advanced AI training, and recognition platforms that promote sustainability, PLDT Home continues to strengthen its ecosystem of support for women-led enterprises.

This Women’s Month, PLDT Home reaffirms its belief that empowering women entrepreneurs creates ripple effects far beyond individual success. Stronger women-led businesses help stabilize families and strengthen communities.

The Digital Advantage: Introducing the PSA E-Certificate Service Powered by PSAHelpline.ph

 

The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), in collaboration with its authorized online channel, PSAHelpline.ph, is pleased to announce the modernization of vital records access through the PSA E-Cert Service. This service represents a significant step forward in the digital transformation of public services, ensuring that authenticated copies of civil registry documents are secured and shared with maximum efficiency and security.

This initiative delivers an official, authenticated, digital copy of your civil registry document, offering a secure and immediate method for handling essential paperwork from your computer or mobile device. Designed for convenience across the Philippines, the PSA E-Cert acts as a readily available, verifiable version of documents like Birth, Marriage, and Death Certificates. It is a digitized copy of the physical PSA certificate issued by the PSA that can be quickly utilized for submission and verification with government agencies and other stakeholders nationwide. The new service provides a fully integrated end-to-end digital journey—from initial request and secure payment to digital delivery offering the ultimate standard in user convenience.

What is a PSA E-Certificate?

The PSA E-Cert is an official, authenticated, digital copy of civil registry documents such as Birth, Marriage, and Death Certificates, as well as the Certificate of No Marriage (CENOMAR) and Certificate of No Death (CENODEATH).

Think of it as the official electronic version of your PSA certificate. It offers a secure and immediate way to handle essential paperwork, bypassing the time required for physical courier delivery. Since it is designed to be digitally verified, it is perfect for quick and secure online submissions to institutions that accept digital documents.

The document contains robust digital security features, notably a QR code, which allows the stakeholder to instantly confirm its authenticity and integrity through the secure e-cert portal (e-cert.psahelpline.ph).

Who are the Stakeholders?

A stakeholder is any local office or institution, including government agencies, schools, or private companies, that officially accepts and verifies your submitted PSA E-Cert.

These entities rely on the E-Cert's digital security features (like the QR code, reference number, and authorization code.) to instantly confirm that your document is authentic and was officially issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) via PSAHelpline.ph.

Common transactions where you may submit your E-Cert include:

●        School Enrollment: For schools and universities when enrolling a student.

●        Local Employment: When applying for a job within the Philippines that requires verification of a birth or marriage certificate.

●        Government Transactions: For applying for claims and benefits, or other services from various government agencies (where the digital copy is accepted).

●        Other Transactions: Including financial applications or legal services requiring proof of civil status.

The institution's acceptance of the E-Cert allows them to instantly verify your document's integrity, simplifying their process and ensuring maximum security.

Requesting the PSA E-Cert:

The PSA E-Cert service is initiated when an applicant places an order for documents such as Birth, Marriage, Death Certificates, CENOMAR, and CENODEATH on the PSAHelpline.ph website, specifically selecting the digital format.

1. Application: Visit e-cert.psahelpline.ph, select the document needed, and fill out the order form.
2. Payment: Pay through any of the payment channels integrated with the service (E-wallets, Credit/Debit, Online Banking).
3. Applicant Verification: A mandatory Identity Verification Process ensures that sensitive data only reaches the rightful owner.
4. Delivery:The requesting party receives a secure link via email to view and download their PSA certificate.

 

Verification by the Stakeholder

A core benefit of the PSA E-Cert is its robust digital verification system, allowing any local office or institution (Stakeholder) to instantly confirm the authenticity of the submitted document.

The Stakeholder can verify the authenticity of the E-Cert through two options:

●      Option A (QR Scan): Simply scan the QR code on the document. It redirects to the e-cert portal to display the official PSA-issued copy for an immediate "side-by-side" comparison.

●      Option B (Manual Entry): If a scanner is not available, the stakeholder (e.g., an employer, school, or a bank) can enter the Reference Number and Authorization Code found on the E-Cert cover page directly on the e-cert.psahelpline.ph website. An image of the official PSA-issued copy will be shown for "side-by-side" comparison

The PSA E-Cert portal allows the stakeholder to verify that the certificate was indeed issued by PSAHelpline.ph, ensuring the document's integrity and originality.

Cost and Pricing

 Faster service at a lower price point.

Document Type	E-Certificate Rate	Door-to-Door Rate	Savings
Birth, Marriage, Death	₱290	₱365	₱75
CENOMAR / CENODEATH	₱345	₱420	₱75

Validity and Data Privacy

Protecting data through "Privacy by Design."

●      Availability: The digital copy is accessible in the secure portal for 60 calendar days.

●      Ownership: During this window, users can download the PDF to their personal devices for permanent storage.

●      Privacy: To comply with the Data Privacy Act, the system automatically purges the copy from the portal after 60 days to ensure no sensitive data remains exposed online longer than necessary.

A Commitment to Modern Service

The PSA E-Cert Service (link to PSAHelpline.ph) is designed to enhance the accessibility and utility of civil registry documents for domestic applicants. By providing a modern, efficient, and secure digital option, the PSA and PSAHelpline.ph are committed to making the submission and verification of official records a simpler process for the public and relying parties across the Philippines.
