Filinvest City prepares for the next urban boom

From Metro South to 'Metro Smart'

Filinvest City has been driving Metro South's transformation into an emerging, future-ready region where business growth, sustainable urban living, and long-term investment potential converge.

Some property markets across Metro Manila are seeing slower activity due to a high condominium buildup, but the southern district is moving in the opposite direction.

Data from Colliers, a globally recognized leader in commercial real estate services, and Leechiu Property Consultants, one of the Philippines' most prominent real estate advisory firms, show that the southern district remains one of the more active real estate markets in the capital. Alabang, in particular, continues to be stable and attractive—driven by renewed business activity, ongoing infrastructure expansion, and strong demand from both investors and end users.

Filinvest City is not just part of Alabang's growth — it is the main catalyst driving it forward. This 244-hectare township has transformed the southern district into a thriving hub for business, living, and leisure. With its walkable masterplan, abundant green spaces, and strategic location, Filinvest City leads the shift toward integrated, future-ready urban living in the Metro South. Its growing residential and commercial footprint continues to attract individuals and businesses seeking a well-connected, opportunity-rich environment.

"Filinvest City was designed with intention — to foster an environment where businesses thrive, innovation grows, and people live well. We believe a great city is not simply a backdrop to success, but a catalyst for it," says Josephine T. Gotianun-Yap, vice-chairperson of Filinvest Development Corp.

Second-gen, hybrid MG HS boasts long range, five-star safety ratings

IT WOULD BE no exaggeration to say that, as the initial hype over battery electric vehicles (BEVs) is plateauing for a number of reasons, hybrid powertrains are becoming sort of the de facto poster child for electrification. This is, of course, helped along by friendlier government policy, such as zero import duty on hybrids.
