N Hotel, Kauswagan Highway Soon to Open



The so-called Bonne Hotel under construction along Kauswagan Highway is now officially “N Hotel” as stated in the newly-installed tarpaulin at the main entrance of the hotel.




Work is now concentrated on the main gate and frontage. As a background, the area was once the site of SBC Party Venue before it was closed a couple of years back. The new 3-storey hotel will also have function rooms as well as a pool. The new building is designed by ADA Architects.



Anyway, this hotel will soon be open to the public. Additional accommodations, more jobs, more revenues to the city.

Rate: Parasailing P1,800.00/round

The increase in new adventure sports and recreation activities is attributed to the influx of more tourists in the region looking for more fun not found in the big city that is Metro Manila.

Puregold, CdO in 2012?


Puregold Price Club Inc., one of the country’s fastest-growing hypermarket and supermarket chains owned by Filipino-Chinese businessman Lucio Co, is embarking on an aggressive expansion program next year to build 35 new stores.

Puregold, Biñan
In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Puregold said it is slated to open 15 branches within the first half of 2011. The company has grown significantly since it commenced operations from one store in 1998 to 51 stores in 30 cities as of Sept. 30, 2010 throughout Metro Manila and Luzon.

The existing branch network consists of 38 hypermarkets with an aggregate net selling space of 179,060 square meters, 12 supermarkets under Puregold Junior brand, and one mini-mart called Puregold Extra.

Leveraging on the success of its retail and wholesale model, Puregold intends to establish presence in the largely underserved Visayas and Mindanao markets beginning 2012. Store openings are planned in Iloilo, Negros Occidental, Leyte and Cebu as well as in Cagayan de Oro, Davao City and General Santos City.


In selecting sites for opening its stores, Puregold aims to be the first store in markets that it believes have a high customer potential.

As part of its expansion plan, the company has entered into a total of 20 leasing agreements for its new stores to be opened in 2011 in various parts of the Philippines. These new stores are expected to provide 73,058 square meters of additional net selling space.

Funding for its expansion will come from a planned initial public offering (IPO) estimated to raise up to P11.2 billion.
