Clubhouse Merry-making at Ciudad de Calamba

Ciudad de Calamba, the 350-hectare township development of Filinvest Land, recently launched the first of their many recreational hubs in the south with the launch of the Vista Hills Clubhouse.

All the guests and homeowners from Vista Hills, Montebello, and Punta Altezza, the three communities found inside Ciudad de Calamba, celebrated the official opening of the first Clubhouse in a day full of entertaining activities.

The event started out with a rousing musical number from the Canossa Academy Bugle Band, a local children's group that has performed in several Ciudad de Calamba events. As they performed wearing their bright yellow outfits, several residents came out of their homes to watch and even marched along with the band on their way towards the basketball court. The Bugle Band was rewarded with a round of applause for their musical skills and baton twirling talents.

The homeowners' children wore varied and creative costumes for the Clubhouse Halloween Party. Justice League characters came in, followed by the Hunchback of Notre Dame, who by the way, won the Best Costume Award. Adding magic to the wonderful activity are the goblins, fairies, zoo animals and witches. Endless parlor games, balloon twisting demonstration, and food carts loaded with pizza, nachos, and fries made the party a huge success. The kiddie cuisine was sponsored by Woodridge Pizza, who is also a commercial locator of Ciudad de Calamba.

While they're having Halloween fun at the Clubhouse, the hardcourt was being used for a friendly game of children's basketball. The kids showed promise in the sport that all of us truly love.

Fast-paced action followed with the competitive adult basketball game between the Vista Hills homeowners and Ciudad de Calamba staff that ended with the homeowners' victory.

Everyone's obvious enjoyment of the game is a guarantee that the Clubhouse facility offers clean fun, and builds up the camaraderie of both players and spectators.

Kids who can't help looking at the swimming pool finally had the chance to take a refreshing dip after they changed from being super heroes and back to their original, but not less interesting, selves. Squeals of delight filled the late afternoon air in no time at all.

When dusk finally came in, the guests were presented with an exciting fireworks display as sparkling lights and colorful balls burst out in the darkened skies. The oohhs and aahhs by the crowd were proof enough of that. It provided a perfect finale to an already marvelous day.

To complete the recreational hub in Ciudad de Calamba, residents of Montebello and Punta Altezza can look forward to the construction of their own Clubhouse in 2005.

You can get to Ciudad de Calamba by taking the Batino Exit at the South Luzon Expressway. Take time to check out this township with residential and commercial lots for sale, and industrial lots for lease/sale.
