A crowning achievement
Manila Bulletin
|August 20 2025
Forty-eight years ago, in August, the “ghost month,” I founded C&P Homes after taking out a seven-year loan from a rural bank. I built Camella Homes Phase 1 and 2 with an initial 160 units that sold out to Filipino families, most of whom were families of overseas workers who have saved enough money to build their loved ones the house they have dreamed of for years.

From the very beginning of my career as a house builder, I knew that what I was about to embark on was more than building houses. I knew that building properties play an important role in helping Filipinos realize their dream of affordable, comfortable, and quality homes. As a home builder, I have this belief that the Filipinos do not just deserve affordable housing they can call their own. They deserve a home that is beautiful and world class, something that they can be truly proud of.
This same philosophy was behind the establishment of Crown Asia in 1995. From the very beginning, Crown Asia was built on this belief-the belief in the Filipino, belief in progress, and belief in creating homes that reflect not just where people build, but who they have become. It was this principle that we commemorated during the 30th year celebration of Crown Asia. For three decades, we have brought the beauty of the world to every doorstep, and we will continue to rise to something grander, greater, and groundbreaking."
