Esdevco's milestones: clubhouse blessing, condo groundbreaking

PREMIER homegrown property developer Escandor Development Corporation (Esdevco) marked milestones Thursday, Dec. 18, with the blessing of CAME, Clubhouse at Matina Enclaves, and the groundbreaking of its The Enclaves Residences' first of six buildings with no less than Davao City Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte as special guest.

Mayor Duterte led the ribbon cutting before Bishop George B. Rimando, auxiliary bishop of Davao and parish priest of San Pablo Parish, blessed the two-storey 900-square meter clubhouse that features a mini gym, kids' playroom, billiards table, function/meeting room that can accommodate 150 to 200 persons, snack bar, gazebos for the whole family to enjoy, among others. It will also have a 25-meter swimming pool and kiddie pool that will be finished by summer next year.

Project director Gerald Kent M. Garces said, "Sa second floor, malaki ang balcony where people can hang out especially sa hapon kasi mahangin at may umbrella tables din."

"We had our groundbreaking for the clubhouse last June and we committed to complete the clubhouse construction by December, and we did," Garces said.

He also said that the start of construction for the first condominium building of The Enclaves Residences was way ahead of schedule. "We're six months early as we are supposed to start mid-June next year. We decided to start this month because we are equally as excited as our buyers to have the building completed and ready by mid 2016."

Esdevco president Glenn Escandor, for his part, said, "This is our first major project that is why we in ESDEVCO are committed lto exceed all expectations of our buyers, partnered sales networks and the public in general."

Escandor added that having Mayor Duterte lead the groundbreaking ceremony of their condo and blessing of the clubhouse is "monumental".

"This signifies his full trust and confidence in Matina Enclaves and ESDEVCO and we are grateful that he has accommodated us with this good gesture. At least everyone has the assurance that just like the Mayor we also mean no-nonsense commitment," Escandor said.

Also present during the activity was Escandor's mother Violeta, wife Michelle and his brother Gerome.

Duterte, who arrived at the area with executive assistant Christopher "Bong" Go via chopper, said in a media interview: "I whispered to Glenn we are the sons of the migrants. His father was a soldier sa akin was government employee. Somehow we have prepared the place for the next generation. Si Inday Mayor, si Paolo Vice-Mayor then si Glenn top-rate businessmen. So we would like them to prepare this world for their sons and daughters until the end of time."
