1. Executive Summary
The quick recovery of the travel industry after the COVID pandemic poses some exciting opportunities for tourism and real-estate investment more particularly in Asia-Pacific region. IATA forecasts of over +100% of passenger travels by 20251 in comparison to 2019, prepandemic period. Before the pandemic hit, IATA forecast predicted 8.27 billion Air Travelers in 2037. The global airline revenue forecast as of April 2022 is $501B ‘AcceleratedRecovery’2
Asia-Pacific is well-known as an all-year-round destination because of the tropical weather. In the context of Philippine economy and investment, the primary target market for this recovery period are US, OFWs (Filipino Overseas Foreign Workers), and other foreign nationalsfromdifferentcountries.
Condominium and hotel casino construction, most especially in Manila, the capital of the Philppines, is dominating the skyline of the Central Business District of National Central Region (NCR). Occupants of these condominium buildings are mostly Chinese and other foreign nationals. The current trend is that they will explore well-known tourist destinations such as Palawan, Boracay, Cebu, Bohol, Davao etc. Beachfronts, swimming pools, and mountainresortsarethemostcommonamenities.
Condominiums are simply a housing segment that support the gaming industry in the Philippines. The occupants who are above average middle-income earners are the people whotraveledinmanytouristdestinationsinthecountry.
This Project will provide a variety and unique amenities not to be found in the Philippines. The value proposition for this Project is to offer a unique, wide-variety of amenities to be explored and will demand a minimum of five days stay to fully explore the amenities and theiruniqueofferingssuchas:
Santorini-likehotelandrestaurants
Marina
Mountain-viewvillas&Tropicalhutontreetops

Theseamenitieswillprovidemoreopportunitiesininvitingunsolicitedinvestorsfromabroad and from local entrepreneurs. Having a marina in the development, it will open more opportunities andexposureto foreign investors who are alreadyfinancially capable to invest. Thisoutsideinvestmentopportunitywillsurelyfurthermitigatetheriskprofiletotheoriginal investorandproponent.
The design of all facilities will be performed by Architect Leonardo Galotera and his design team with the intent to implement the international building code and practices to ensure the developmentisuncompromisinglyworld-class.
Tominimizetheriskfor theCapitalExpenditure,itis recommendedthat theexecution ofthe Project is by phases. Phase 1 expenditure is estimated at PHP 2.6B ($44.6M) excluding theprofessionalservices ofArchitectLeonardoGalotera.

2. TheArchitectural Firm
Experienced management
Architect Leonardo G. Galotera (‘Architect’) started his career locally in 1982. Right after receiving his professional license in 1987 as registered architect, he ventured in overseas assignmentin1988workingforlocalengineering firmfortwoyears. Bylate1991,hejoined Bechtelcompany(www.bechtel.com)forthefirsttimeinKuwaitafterthefirstGulfWar.
While working under Oil & Gas industry from 1991 to 1988, he set his sight to shift in aviation industry. This was achieved when he joined the aviation project management team in Dubai international airport in 1988. Since then, he was part of Bechtel’s team under InfrastructureGlobalBusinessUnit.
Bechtel has been consistently on the top 5 contractors globally. See ENR 2021 Top 400 Contractors:ENR2021Top400Contractors1-100|EngineeringNews-Record).

4. The Project Site
Guimaras Island is located in Western Visayas Region VI. There are two gateways to Guimaras: NAIA T1 or NAIA T3 and Cebu Mactan International Airport. From Manila or Cebu, there are flights directly to Iloilo City. There are ferries that transport passengers between Iloilo City and Jordan wharf of Guimaras. For vehicles to cross the strait, there is a ‘roll-on,roll-off’bargethatcaterforthisneed.

Research and studies
In addition to the initial ideas for the development conceptualized by the Architect using his familiarity of the place (born and raised in Guimaras island), wealth of international experienceworkingoverseasforoverthreedecades,theArchitectconductedseveralresearch and studies on the type of development that will be best-suited to the existing geography cognizantofthepotentialofthedevelopmentbrings.
In addition to site survey conducted in 2020 and 2022, the Architect developed the space programmingaspartofthemasterplanning. Theconceptforthisplanning andprogramming wereguidedbythefollowingconcepts.
The coastline facing Iloilo City at northwest lends itself to variety of house design which is notcommoninthePhilippines.
Three primary design concepts were established at the outset of this research and study with thisdesignintentinmindasdetailedbelow.
Unique housing design and living style

5. Current Market Conditions
There are three (3) growth indicators that will sustain and make this Project a successful investment:
Increasing number ofcondominium construction
The big four real-estate conglomerate in the Philippines are unstoppable in respect to condominium and mixed-use development. Undoubtedly, the occupants of these condominiums will look for places to tour to find the needed work-life balance. There is now an acceptance in business sector that employees can work from home through online transaction. Thisflexibilityallowsthemtotakeamini-vacationwhileworking.
Increasing number ofhotel casinos
Southside of the Mall of Asia in Pasay City is the designated Entertainment City. This dedicated area is for hotel casino and gaming haven. Most high rollers are Chinese businessmen and that explains why the casino hotels hired Chinese from Mainland China. Thissegmentisoneofthehighestoccupantsof condominiumbuildingsinManila.
Air travel forecast will exceed 2019 share

Demographics
It is worth considering the economic outlook in the United States by way of comparison to otherdemographicswhowillbethepotentialbuyersandusersoftheProject.
US Retirees: can they afford to retire?
“According to the Middle series projection, between 2012 and 2060, the U.S. population is projectedtogrowfrom314millionin2012 to420 millionin 2060,anincreaseof34percent. Thenationwillalsobecomemoreraciallyandethnicallydiverse,withtheaggregateminority population projected to become the majority in 2043. The population is also expected to becomemucholder.By2030,morethan20percentofU.S.residentsareprojectedtobeaged 65andover,compared with13percentin2010and9.8percentin1970.4”
“Our two indicators of retirement adequacy, replacement rates and the percentage of individuals at risk of falling short of maintaining their pre-retirement standard of living duringretirement,aresimilartothosefoundintheliterature.”
Replacement rate thresholds (All demographic group) is x=0.65 that has an average of savingsrateof61%only.
In short,of314 millionretirees,whomwillhave65%replacement,canaffordtosaveoftheir pre-retirement income by 61% only. This translates to approximately: $144,112.50 savings for their entire adult working life. This is a meager outlook for any average American to retire and invest outside the United States. The increasing current inflation under the Biden administration is only exacerbated the outlook for Americans to go overseas for retirement haven.
The above data should not cause for discouragement if tourism is to be considered. Conversely, Americans were the highest accounted volumes of tourists that arrived in the PhilippinesinJune 20215. It shouldbe noted thatthis doesnottakeinto accounttheresiding ChinesewhowerealreadyworkingandresidinginthecountrybeforeCOVIDpandemic.

–Departmentof Tourism dataofArrivingPassengersinJune 2021
proliferation of hotel casinos in the Philippines opened a new opportunity for influx of Chinese workers who are investing mostly in the Capital region Metro Manila. The surrounding condominium units in front of the Mall of Asia catered mostly for this new demographic. Unsurprisingly, one will find many Chinese touring the country’s vast resorts andamenities.
fully appreciate the enormous population growth between China, India, and the United States,seetheinfographicbelow7
Needless to say, the highest number of buyers and users for this development will be from China. This report didn’t cover the population of Koreans whose population and migration tothePhilippinesisalsosignificant.
Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW)
The OFW market segment, although there are over 40 countries where OFWs are to be found, but the realistic assumption based on experience the partitioning is limited to the following countries only: Japan, Australia, Norway, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Netherlands, Other European Countries, Canada, and Other Countries in North and South America.
There are over 300,000 OFWs around the world. Although the COVID pandemic created havoc in the cash inflow of the US dollar remittances to the Philippines between 2020 and 2021, the remittances have gone up to a record-breaking $34 billion in 2021. This accounts for 8.9 percent of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) according to the Bangko SentralngPilipinas(BSP)6 .
OFWs are one of the active players in local tourism in addition to foreigners. Most of these workersareundersingle-statuscontract andhavetwo-weekorfour-weekentitledleaveevery year. To make up for the lost time for being away from the family, they are making up for these lost time by taking a vacation in various places in the country with their families. Sometimestheytaggedalongtheirin-laws.
Psychographics
No doubt this generation of populace regardless of race, creed, religion and color, everyone is occupying cyberspace footprint via social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, Viber, Tiktok to make their presence known. Be it for family communication, across the globe,or simply displayingthe current activities in terms oftravel, food, andother activitiestogain‘likes’andattractionsintheworldwideweb.
Definitely, the geography especially the new trend amenities, places to see and explore are the top subject for broadcasting their new discovery to show off to friends and families aroundtheworld.
To such, the project amenities and building types are perfectly suited to satisfy ‘braggingrights’with‘me-first’discoveryofexoticplacesandfunctions.
7. Competition
RefertoFigure4belowforpossiblecompetitionwithinRegionVIgeographicalarea. Guimaras
Although there are many beach and mountain resorts in the Guimaras Island, however, these are not well-organized and are of the same scale in term of land area. Their amenities are very limiting due to their location and size. Therefore, in terms of size and amenities, these existingresortsareofnoconsequencetotheProject.

It is estimated that the three phases of design development will be completed in eleven (11) months. At the ninth (9th) month, the bidding for procurement can proceed for the construction.
The professional services of the Architect are limited to the design development leading to the procurement and awarding of the Project to a Contractor. The construction management andsupervisionserviceswillbeaddressedseparatelyinthefuture.
9. Project Funding
For the Phase-1 development, the estimated construction is estimated at PHP 2,584,000,000.00. This estimate can be finalized after the feasibility is completed at which time the schematic design can be completed including the construction costs associated for thePhase-1development.
The estimated professional fee for the design scope for Phase-1 which covers the Feasibility Study,SchematicDesign,andDetailedDesignis PHP157,266,000.00.

The CLUP is the plan for the management of local territories. Planning as management of local territories is a function of the LGU pursuant to its status as a political unit. Hence, the body principally responsible for the CLUP is no less than the highest policy-making body, the legislative council or Sanggunian. This is the reason why the adoption of the CLUP and its enactment into a zoning ordinance are planning fuhnctions exercised ex clusively by the Sanggunian (RA-7160, Section 20c, 447, 458, 468). This devolved function is being exercised by the Sang gunian on behalf of the national State which is directed by the Constitution to “...regulate the ownership, acquisition, use and disposition of property...” (Art. XIII, Sec.1). State regulation of land use also implies that there must be vertically integrated physical framework plans from the national down to the mu nicipal level. The CLUP therefore must be consistent with its higher counterparts, the PCLUP, the RPFP and the NFPP, at the provincial, regional and national levels respectively.

The CDP is the plan with which the LGU promotes the general welfare of its inhabitants in its capacity as a corporate body. The responsibility for the CDP is given to the LDC (RA-7160, Sec. 106 and 109). It must cover all the development sectors to be comprehensive. The CDP consolidates the programs and projects necessary to carry out the objectives of the different development sectors. Some of these programs and projects are incorporated in the local development investment program (LDIP) and are implemented through the annual budget. Other programs may be picked up by the national government and still others by the private sector for implementation.
Alignment with Regional Physical Framework Plan with the Project
Regional Physical Framework Plan
The Regional Physical Framework Plan (RPFP) relates to a higher level plan, the National Framework for Physical Planning (NPFP). The process of preparation of the PCLUP considers the higher level plans, thus, goals, objectives and principles set at the national and regional levels are integrated into the PCLUP. The preferred strategy that served as the basis in pre paring the land use plan component embodies the preferred role that Guimaras will play in order to contribute to national and regional goals and objectives. While the PCLUP is also ind icative in nature like the RPFP, it factors in more details in specifying land uses for the production, protection, settle ments and infrastructure components as a means of detailing the RPFP at the provincial level. The PCLUP is resource-orient ed wherein the allocation of land takes into account the inter play of the population’s needs and requirements vis-à-vis the preservation, conservation and sustainable utilization of natu ral resources. This is achieved through horizontal and vertical integration of the PCLUP and the Comprehensive Land Use Plans of the component municipalities.
The Project Brief and the LGU Framework
The Project meets the demand of the LGU policies by provid ing roads, potentially power supply, water supply, and sewage treatment within the development.
The Project will include Smart City concept in all aspects of the development which will encourage latest telecommuncations and infrastructure in attracting both local and international tourists.
Part of the program is the resettelment of the existing resi dents and to provide vocational and educational facilities to enhance both literacy and skills to service the need of the facilties.
To maintain the ecosystem of the area and to preserve the watershed, ‘Forest Grove’ is introduced to both preserve and enhance the delicate balance of nature and man.
The Project vs CLUP (SWOT) - Risk Profile is Minimal
STRENGTH
>Existing Roads from Jordan wharf
>Western side allocated for high-end low densi ty residential area to attract high-income groups >Jordan is Primary Growth Center >Proximity to Jordan wharf and San Miguel CBD
WEAKNESS
>Power Supply has reached full capacity
>Water Supply exploration is being pursued
>Non-existent Sewerage System
>Lacking Telecommunications services and infra structure
OPPORTUNITIES
>Tourism average annual growth of 53% in 12 years
>Local and Foreigner tourists ratio: 96% vs 4% respectively. Revenue: 187M vs 18M >Out of 21 beach/island resorts, only Andana may be considered world-class (however, this resort closed down and did not recover since COVID-19 pandemic due to lack of amenities).
General Facts About Guimaras Island
The province is situated in the Panay Gulf, be tween the islands of Panay and Negros.
To the northwest is the province of Iloilo and to the southeast is Negros Occidental.
The province consists primarily of Guimaras Is land, and also includes Inampulugan, Guiwan on, Panobolon, Natunga, Nadulao, and many surrounding islets.
Population: 187,842 (2020 census). Density: 310 inhabitants per square kilometer.
THREAT
>Morobuan is identified as Forest/Wildlife Re serves
>Mandatory 20M coastal easement
The province is famous for producing one of the sweetest mangoes in the world, thus earn ing the nickname “Mango Capital of the Philip pines” from local and foreign tourists.
Guimaras mangoes are reportedly served at the White House and Buckingham Palace.
The island is accessible from Iloilo City (15 minutes) and Negros (an hour) via catama ran boats. Also, a roll-on/roll-off ferry travels around five times a day to transport heavy cargos including vehicles and heavy equip ment.
>DESIGN CONCEPT
The mountain profile at the southwestern part of the land is facing due west and across the Iloilo Strait which is the most ide al design for Santorini-type development.
This location is very strategic and attrac tive from the vantage point from the city and the sea. It surely entices sailors and city-dwellers to explore this facility.
Any sailors would like to venture the place will be drawn to this scenic view.
>DESIGN CONCEPT
Panay island as a whole doesn’t have a berthing station. As part of the attraction for both local and international tourists, having a marina is definitely a welcome de velopment to further enhance the activities and revenue streams.
Typically, sailing professionals and the like always look for new places to explore while having the peace of mind that they can find a safe and fully-serviced marina complete with food, hotel, and sport facilities.
>DESIGN CONCEPT
To fully take advantage of the scenic view at the opposite side of Santorini, high-end private villas facing the mountains due east of the facility is proposed.
Various villa configurations can be provid ed while the design and architecture lend themselves to the local material and weath er conditions by having natural stones and wide open spaces opening up to the out doors. Individual pools can be part of the configuration.
VILLAS
HOUSES ON CLIFFS
CONCEPT
Given the land profile at this location of the Site, houses cut-out from the cliff is the per fect solution for this site condition.
This configuration offers two vital advan tages: the living spaces facing southwest and the houses are not exposed to direct sunlight. Therefore, with adequately de signed ventilation system for airflow, the houses will be cooler compared to houses exposed to sunlight. Another advantage is direct access to the bottom part of the cliff.
One of the special features of the land is the various elevation and configuration along the coastline.
At the north end of the cliff, there is flat section where special villas can be built where direct access to the sea is possible with its own boat docking.
For this profile, the design of private villas’ roofing can simulate the shape of sails - an inviting view both day and night.
FOREST GROVE
>DESIGN CONCEPT
To meet one of the land development poli cies and enhancing the ecological balance, Forest Grove provides a respite to mod ern-life by bringing people back to nature and explore the natural environ of a forest with fresh water, natural swimming pool free from chemicals.
Key objectives of this section is to protect the existing watershed and enhance the ecosystem balance by planting more trees.
CENTER FACING THE MARINA
>DINING & POOL FACILITY
Another inviting location for both the res idents of ‘Sail’ villas and houses on cliffs is the commercial center with top/over the edge swimming pool facing the city and southwest.
This area is also accessible to condomini ums residents and to sailors at the marina. This is a perfect place to begin an perfect dining as the users watch the sunset across the horizon.
Design ideas:
>HOTEL THEME
The overall theme for the whole facility is sea, boat/yacht, wind.
For outdoor dining for exclusive hotel ex perience is to arrange sets of dining areas outdoor as if the guests are on the yacht.
>MECHANIZED WAVE
At the foot of Santorini, a mechanized wave for surfing provides additional water activi ties at the beachfront.
This type of facility will be the very first in the region. The typical water sports in Iloilo and Guimaras are banana boat ride, slides, and jetskis.
This mechanized wave for surfing will defi nitely will be an additional invitation and reason for local tourists to come.
>KITE SURFING
Starting in early 60s, paraw regatta or sailboat racing was one of the key events during summertime in Guimaras and Iloilo.
The Site lends itself perfectly for kite surf ing activities due to its strategic location where prevailing summer wind (January to May) is coming from northeast.
This type of sports activities will attract both local and international professional kite surfers to explore the facilities.
The nearest resort that has this sporting event is in Boracay island, another tourist destination at the north ernmost part of Panay island.
Introducing this sporting events will enhance both the exposure of the facility to both local and international enthusiasts and professionals alike.

> CURRENT TREND
The growing trend in the island is ei ther the landowers developed their own property as beach resort outlets or foreign buyers offered to buy and de veloped the property. The latter is more prevalent, however there is no develop ment of this magnitude in terms of land area and varied amenities.
This Project will be one of its rare kind when executed for three major reasons:
1-The facilities catered to retirees or in vestors who look for more versatile and high-end property.
2-The location lends itself to all ameni ties as demonstrated in this document. 3-Architect Leonardo Galotera has done megaprojects most notably international airports in which international norms and standards being used and will be em ployed in this project in order to deliver a topnotch quality designs and con struction products and methodology.
