The condominium unit is fully furnished and will be right in the heart of the township. It is a little over an hour from Sta. Cruz which is Nesthy Petecio’s hometown. The township will have commercial and retail hubs, office towers, school, and a state-of-the-art hospital.

 

“We are very proud of this huge accomplishment of Nesthy Petecio. Her silver medal in the Olympics is a historic one because this women’s featherweight division of boxing debuts only in this Tokyo Olympics, and she is the first silver medalist in the category. Rightfully, she deserves the reward from our chairman, Dr. Andrew L. Tan, for the pride she gives to the Filipino nation,” says Atty. Harrison Paltongan, president, Suntrust Properties, Inc.
