MANILA, Philippines - The Philippines is one such country that can be called a melting pot of cultures. The Filipinos’ beaming smiles, warm hospitality, and fascination with anything foreign make us one of the friendliest people all over the world.

South Forbes Golf City, the country’s largest fully-integrated and all-themed golf resort city at the heart of the Metro Sta. Rosa – Tagaytay corridor, is one such melting pot of cultures as seen in its vibrant Residential Cluster.

“We have taken the best designs in the world and integrated them with our own Filipino sensibilities into coming up with our international-themed enclaves, with its homes and feature amenities,” said Cathay Land president Jeffrey Ng. “This is South Forbes’ unique feature that earned us the honor of Best Golf Community Development by the CNBC International Property Awards, the world’s most prestigious property awards programme.”

Go West. The rich cultures and traditions of Europe and the United States have been ingrained in our own culture that we have taken them as our own.

Quaint Spanish-inspired homes dot the landscape of the Mediterranean Villas. Even the clubhouse exudes the warmth and vigor of the Iberian coast.

Châteaux de Paris is nothing short of regal. Its charming chateaus, majestic clubhouse, and exotic gardens are a constant reminder to its residents that they too can live like royalty.

South Forbes’ Miami, like the Floridian tropical hot spot for the hip and famous, is defined by Moderne or Art Deco homes and a village clubhouse where residents feel like celebrities, spending a day of tanning or catching up on their reading on sunning beds all around the beach-inspired free-form pool and a pool deck with a white sandy beach feel.

Scandia Suites is a take-off on Scandinavian modernism, conveying the sleekness and energy of modern technology — simple, uncomplicated, efficient, innovative. Life here is about living within and beyond the space of one’s own home — work, education, shopping, leisure, and nature.

Close to the Heart. The Asian style, indeed, is more “home” to us than any other style. It is more suited to our environment and a reminder of our traditions despite modernization.
