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:

“The Philippine real estate market may see improvement this year behind the increased vaccination rate as well as the country's reopening policies. 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. The selection process this year is overseen by the team of Lloyd T. Tan, partner with Diaz Murillo Dalupan and Company – HLB Philippines, the Official Supervisor of the Awards.

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. 

Jose Mari Banzon, president of SM Development Corporation (SMDC), said: “The honour and validation brought to us by the PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards only solidify our strength and conviction to build a nation of homeowners where each and every Filipino can live out their best lives. In the Awards, we have found a trusted partner with an extensive market reach that can help us realise and further the vision of our company founders.

GCash cautions against gambling apps used for phishing

A recent investigation by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) and the leading mobile wallet GCash, has led to the discovery of certain gambling sites and apps which were used for account takeovers in the recent surge of phishing scams. Additionally, some influencers may have unknowingly promoted these gaming apps without being aware of their fraudulent nature. GCash is now cautioning its users to be extremely careful when accessing online gambling sites and apps, and to avoid them altogether if possible. In this latest scheme, perpetrators created gambling apps while falsely claiming to be accredited by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR).
