Catch a Glimpse of What Life Means at Amoa

Life in the city is bustling almost 24/7—jumping from one place to another, getting stuck in traffic, and going to bed at night with the honking, whizzing, and revving of vehicles just right outside your home. It’s a hassle most people don’t ask for, but have to deal with. Give Amoa by AboitizLand a minute or two to show you that ‘life means more’ and one of the most anticipated projects of Cebu’s premier developer might just be the ideal solution to your geographical issues.

The riveting modern Filipino touch to its seven enclaves gives home to would-be residents of Amoa. Nestled close to the mountains and the sea, it promises an affable lifestyle to make way for richer memories within its large portion of open spaces and wide range of modern amenities to choose from. You can never go wrong with spending some time at the basketball court, grand lawn, central park and collective swimming pools to unwind—and these are just a few of many others worth checking out inside the five-star resort-like suburban.

Amoa’s first model home was launched to the public last February 23, giving a glimpse of Ananda, a single-storey unit with a living room that greets you the moment you walk in, as well as a small kitchen, a dining room, a bathroom, and two bedrooms. Two doors—the main door and the back door—are built aslant across each other, allowing fresh air to pass through within the house easily and conjuring a comfy lazy day. For a couple or a small family, Ananda is quite spacious to live in.

“Amoa is for start-up families who value a better way of life,” shares Raffy Potestad, the marketing officer of AboitizLand. “It is basically for families with three to four members who love outdoors and are planning to live in a vibrant, uncrowded area in the north of Cebu Province.”

Surrounded by larger cities such as Cebu, Mandaue, and Lapu-Lapu, Compostela is the perfect location for those who are looking to live in a tranquil and nature-centered
area. If you’re worried about worse traffic conditions, Raffy describes the drive to and from the metropolis to be tolerable, only taking an hour at bare minimum. It’s rest assured that you still get to stay close to establishments even by residing in a
province. Living in Amoa is pretty much like hitting two birds with one stone, as the old saying goes.

Within the premises of the 60-hectare residential community, a broad array of house-and-lot units currently cost P1.6 to P5 million. It is quite an agreeable price to pay in exchange for an exceptional experience in the neighborhood of your dreams.

Canvassing for a new house to relocate to is just as stressful as continuing to live in a crowded environment, but every bead of sweat becomes rewarding when the universe is in your favor and grants you the home beyond your expectations. Add Amoa by AboitizLand to your list, and you will certainly not dwell in disappointment.

Nestled in Banilad, Cebu City, the George Hofer residence stands as testament to enduring elegance. Constructed in the late sixties to early seventies, the mansion exudes timeless charm with warm brown molave wood panels and pristine white marble floors.

Stepping into this grand abode during the Christmas season unveils a journey into a beautifully storied past. This season, Molave wooden entance, intricately carved with the Hofer couple’s monogram, are adorned with opulent yuletide garlands. White velvet poinsettias and persimmon peonies alongside mother of pearl camellias are interspersed with pearlescent berries. Archangel Michael showers the guests with  blessings from above, while a macassar ebony wooden effigy of Saint George (slaying the dragon) pays homage to the house owner’s namesake.

Adjacent to a private elevator, a grandiose Christmas tree stands tall, welcoming guests into a sprawling waiting hall. Here, an angel in teal and gold lamé cloth grouped together with exotic blooms gracefully plays the lyre; seemingly entertaining those who await entry.

Further down the hall is an ecru grand piano, where the lady of the house, a skilled pianist, performs Monti’s Czardas, Schubert’s Ständchen, and other rhapsodies on special occasions. A commissioned portrait of George and Dulce hangs on a wall above a console table that separates the hall from the formal dining area.

The Hofer home exudes old-world elegance that is seldom found today, yet its true charm lies in the joyous laughter and warm greetings of the Hofers, who gather annually to share Christmas cheer and delightful yuletide stories in this vibrant space.

The Hudson’s household buzzes with enthusiasm each time the holiday season unfolds. The heart of their Tokyo home, the  Hudson Christmas tree, stands tall and proud, adorned with tinsel and cherished trimmings that span the years of their family’s growth. Each ornament tells a story, marking the arrival of a new family member with the annual addition of baubles bearing their names: Mary, George, Victoria and Charles.

Charles, the youngest Hudson at twelve, beams with joy as he proudly places the Christmas star atop the tree. No longer reliant on his father’s shoulders, Charles revels in his newfound height and the welcomed responsibility that comes with it.

In addition to the twinkling blue lights, the festive icons and the white-and-silvery ornaments, another cherished tradition had been completed at the beginning of the joyful season. The Hudson’s much-anticipated Christmas cards, an exciting accountof  the family’s adventures, had been creatively crafted by Rose and Karl. The lively narrative chronicles the milestones and quests of each family member, with Karl’s animated storytelling and Rose’s artistic touch bringing the tales to life.

Rose shares, “by mid-November we print two hundred post cards of the Hudson family chronicles. The entire family, from the oldest to the youngest, gathers around to sign each card. Envelopes are lovingly addressed, and the kids lend a hand in labeling.”

In a heartwarming shift of roles, the Hudson parents, Karl and Rose, prepare to pass the baton. The careful planning and distribution of the Christmas cards are soon to become the responsibility of the eager younger generation. 

With laughter, love, and a touch of adventure, the Hudson family embraces the season, creating and sharing memories that they and their friends treasure for life.
