Filinvest Land Tops Off Building A in Futura Monte Naga

Trusted property developer Filinvest Land, Inc. (FLI) recently held a topping-off ceremony for Futura Monte’s Building A in Naga City, marking the official completion of its structural framework. Soon, this building will stand as the embodiment of quality living within reach.

With its steady construction progress, Building A is expected to be ready for turnover by the fourth quarter of 2025. By then, residents can enjoy the ideal lifestyle inside a safe and secure community complete with comfortable living spaces, vibrant greenery, and healthy venues for family bonding.

Futura Monte is conveniently located along Roxas Avenue in Brgy. Triangulo at the heart of Naga City. Its prime location allows easy access to daily necessities with schools, churches, hospitals, malls, and various essential establishments nearby. It also provides seamless commute with its proximity to accessible transportation hubs.

Thoughtfully crafted with the residents’ well-being in mind, Futura Monte dedicates 60% of the property to lush open spaces and complete, family-centric amenities. Four mid-rise buildings with a modern minimalist design comprise this 1.9-hectare enclave, creating a harmonious balance between nature and modernity.

One of Futura Monte’s central amenities is the clubhouse with swimming pool. This is where gatherings, occasions, and even simple relaxing moments take place, building stronger connections and creating lasting memories with loved ones. A play area is also available for kids to embrace their childhood joys, while adults can pursue their health goals in the fitness gym.

Building A consists of well-appointed units that cater to the varied needs of the market—from studio units to 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom units. These living spaces are built with reinforced concrete to ensure durability and convenient functionality. Embedded columns and beams are also integrated to create optimized and adaptable spaces for families and individuals to embrace their independence.

Futura Monte’s attractive features have caught the attention of aspiring homeowners. Units in Building A are already sold out, officially establishing the success of the project in Naga City. This milestone is another testament to Filinvest’s mission of building Filipino dreams by efficiently meeting the high demand of young professionals and start-up families seeking their ideal home. 

With a proven track record of creating quality and sustainable communities for over 60 years, Filinvest Land ensures that Futura Monte is a worthy investment poised for growth. With its accessible location and attractive offers, units in Building A have great potential for property appreciation over time.

Coca-Cola Beverages Philippines Inc., Naga City Government, team up to boost PET bottle collection and recycling efforts

In line with its mission to support local communities’ sustainable waste management efforts, Coca-Cola Beverages Philippines, Inc. (CCBPI), the bottling arm of Coca-Cola in the Philippines, has signed a Memorandum of Agreement to formalize its partnership with the City of Naga and its community partners. As part of this collaboration, CCBPI provided a baling machine to support the city’s PET bottle collection and recycling initiatives. 

Representatives present (L-R) during the signing: Alfredo M. Gatongay of the Independent Component City Agriculture and Fishery Council of Naga, Annielen L. Panerio, General Manager of the CamSur Multipurpose Cooperative, Naga City Mayor Nelson S. Legacion, Coca-Cola Beverages Philippines, Inc. (CCBPI) VP for Corporate & Regulatory Affairs Atty. Juan Lorenzo Tañada, Chairperson of RAFC Region 5 Bernadette delos Santos, and Chief of PMED and RAFC Bicol Regional Executive Officer Aloha Gigi Bañaria.

"CCBPI is proud to support the City of Naga in promoting its waste management initiatives and empowering its community members to actively participate in the city’s collection and recycling efforts. We thank all our partners—Mayor Nelson S. Legacion, the CamSur Multipurpose Cooperative, and the Regional Agricultural and Fishery Council of Region 5—for working with us towards our goal of fostering cleaner and greener communities,” says Atty. Juan Lorenzo Tañada, CCBPI VP for Corporate & Regulatory Affairs.

The partnership underscores the shared commitment of Coca-Cola, the local government, and partner communities to fostering a collective effort toward creating a circular economy for recyclable plastic packaging in Naga. Central to the effort is the CamSur Multipurpose Cooperative, which leverages its network of over 7,000 members to execute the collection initiatives for post-consumer clear PET plastic bottles within the city. The Regional Agricultural and Fishery Council Region 5 will help oversee the project implementation to ensure that the collection efforts are seamlessly integrated into the community’s needs.

The goal is to ensure that all collected clear PET plastic bottles, regardless of brand, are diverted to PETValue Philippines, the country's first facility dedicated to bottle-to-bottle recycling. PETValue employs advanced technologies to transform fully recyclable post-consumer plastic packaging into new food-grade recycled PET (rPET) bottles. This facility is a joint venture between CCBPI and Indorama Ventures, a global sustainable chemical company.

Through strong multi-sectoral partnership, the initiative aims to promote a circular economy that is geared towards protecting the environment, supporting local livelihoods, and creating a better future for the residents of Naga City.
