The extraordinarily sad plight of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) was underscored in recent times when a global pandemic upset their relatively placid lives. In the confusion that ensued, homecomings were suspended and returnees were stranded, adding to their anxiety about their loved ones back home.
Time was, the unspoken implication of their sacrifice is that one day, they will come home and enjoy the rewards of their labor — quality time with their families and a safe, comfortable home to enjoy it in. However, the uncertain times are motivating these hardworking Filipinos to look far beyond this idyllic scenario and plan for a more stable future for their families.
“It’s for this reason that more OFWs, regardless of where they are, are seeking to invest in homes in the Philippines,” said Red Rosales, president at BRIA Homes. “Buoyed by reports of the local real estate industry displaying resilience during the crisis, OFWs are optimistic that property investment is the best way to make their hard-earned money grow.”
With many of them looking to settle down in places where they were born and raised, Rosales believes that BRIA can cash in on this trend by offering properties from which OFWs’ children can benefit in the long term.
With the government’s completed projects reducing travel time between towns and cities, land values are poised to appreciate. Office and residential spaces will be in high demand — not just in the metropolis but also in progressive provinces south and north of Metro-Manila.
Remote work and learning will further thrive in the forthcoming years as most businesses adapt to the digital landscape. This should spur potential home buyers and investors to consider residential options in safer and healthier environments away from congested cities.
With these in mind, BRIA Homes, a leader in affordable housing development, presents a multitude of choices in its more than 50 projects located across the country. All are masterplanned communities with access to schools, hospitals, retail establishments, churches, offices, main roads and highways.
To ensure a wholesome year-round community engagement among residents, BRIA Homes has recreational facilities such as basketball courts, playgrounds, multi-purpose halls, and open green spaces. Perimeter fences, guarded entrances, and 24/7 CCTV coverage help secure the premises, while homeowners have digital access to BRIA’s efficient property management at any time.
Finally, through BRIA Homes’ tried-and-tested formula of Affordability (Mura) + Quality (Dekalidad) = A Beautiful BRIA Home for Every Filipino, OFWs can readily invest in two or more aesthetically designed, superior-quality house and lot units.
