A tradition of excellence

Jules Kay, general manager of PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards and Events, led speakers in attendance at the media roundtable where he touched on the longevity of the programme as well as its growth in terms of coverage and technology. Founded on a tradition of excellence, the long-running programme in the Philippines is part of the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards series, which marks its 17th year.

For its 10th edition, the PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards programme is raising the Gold Standard of real estate with an array of new categories. They include the title of Best Luxury Developer, in addition to many never-before-presented Development categories:

This is led by the logistics and industrial sector, as well as the imminent arrival of hyperscalers and data centre operators,” said Philip Mareschal, head of property and asset management at JLL Philippines, and a member of the independent judging panel.

Supervised by HLB, the global network of independent advisory and accounting firms, the awards programme makes full use of a professionally run and fully transparent judging system – establishing a reputation for fairness and transparency.

Awards reception

After the media roundtable, the Winners and Highly Commended recipients of the 9th PropertyGuru Philippines Property Awards, which successfully aired as a virtual gala event in November 2021, accepted their golden statuettes and citations in an exclusive reception for awardees. SM Development Corporation (SMDC), the current Best Developer (Philippines) titleholder, led awardees in attendance at the reception, also held in Fairmont Makati.

GCash cautions against gambling apps used for phishing
