Globe Enhances Connectivity in Bogo City with New Cell Sites

RLC Residences proudly announces that Mantawi Residences, its debut property in Cebu, has been awarded the preliminary EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) certification, marking it as the first condo project in Cebu to achieve this distinction. This achievement underscores RLC Residences’ commitment to sustainable and eco-friendly living.

Developed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, EDGE is a globally recognized standard for resource-efficient building design. It is awarded to buildings that demonstrate significant reductions in energy, water, and materials consumption compared to conventional buildings. Mantawi Residences has successfully met these stringent criteria, reflecting RLC Residences’ commitment to creating eco-friendly and resilient living spaces.

Stephanie Anne Go, Vice President and Business Development and Design Head of RLC Residences, expressed gratitude to IFC for recognizing Mantawi Residences as the first EDGE-certified condo development in Cebu. She emphasized that the property was designed with environmental sustainability in mind, and its realization is a proud moment for the company.

Angelo Tan, Country Lead (Climate Business) for the Philippines, Malaysia, and the Pacific of IFC, also expressed pride in RLC Residences’ achievement, noting that it marks a significant step towards sustainable living and environmentally friendly building practices.

Launched in April 2023, Mantawi Residences is a premium development in Cebu inspired by the late John L. Gokongwei Jr., a successful businessman who grew up in Cebu. The development integrates earth-friendly design solutions that help save water and energy consumption. It will feature a rainwater harvesting system, water-efficient fixtures, and energy-saving features such as insulated roof decks, exterior walls, and larger windows for balanced lighting and ventilation. These features contribute to the 28% energy savings that Mantawi Residences is set to achieve once built.

Go added that the EDGE certification highlights their unwavering commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. By achieving this certification, they not only enhance the value of their properties but also contribute to the global effort to combat climate change and promote sustainable development.
