GERI cuts spending, to turn over P3B projects

Global Estate Resorts Inc. (GERI), Megaworld’s subsidiary brand for integrated lifestyle and tourism estates, is turning over P3-billion worth of residential and commercial projects this year.

These project turnovers include residential units and commercial lots at Boracay Newcoast in Aklan, Twin Lakes in Laurel, Batangas, and Sta. Barbara Heights in Iloilo.

GERI is cutting its capital spending by 38 percent this year, from P6.5 billion to P4 billion, as the lockdowns, regional quarantine measures, and physical distancing rules continue to restrict the movement of materials and workers in the company’s construction sites.

GERI also rolled out its roadmap towards recovery from the health crisis that affected most of its core businesses during the first half of the year. The roadmap focuses on innovations in product design and services; digital transformation; workforce health, safety and well-being and; financial discipline and strategic expansion.
