Behind Every Home is a Story

As P.A. Properties celebrates 30 years of building communities and dreams, the stories behind the homes are taking center stage. In the company’s three-decade journey, it’s not just the bricks and mortar that matter, but the lives touched and transformed through homeownership. With the anniversary theme, “Behind every home is a story”, P.A. Properties proudly highlights the stories of its buyers, sellers, brokers, and employees. 

Homebuyers have found more than just a house; they’ve found spaces to build their dreams. One such story is from Maila Damyong, a 31-year-old HR Supervisor, who, with her boyfriend, embarked on a journey to find their future home. She shares: 

“I have been residing at St. Joseph Village in San Pedro, Laguna. Preparing for the future ahead, my boyfriend and I decided to look for a house before we got married.” 

After months of searching, Maila’s boyfriend discovered a property in St. Joseph Homes Calamba, which they visited immediately. “The first time we visited the property and heard the agent’s promotional offer, we immediately decided to purchase the house on the same day,” Maila recalls. The decision to buy was made easier by the smooth transaction process and the village’s excellent location. “I am very much happy with our new home. I’m rating it a 10 out of 10,” she says. “The village is very accessible to everywhere!” 

For sellers and brokers, their partnership with P.A. Properties has meant more than business transactions—it has been a journey of shared success. One such story is that of Victor B. Bayais Jr., Managing Director at Granwood Sales Division, who has been in the industry for 19 years and is a licensed broker for five years. 

Victor’s journey with P.A. Properties has been nothing short of remarkable. He recalls how Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), driven by the desire to provide a better future for their families, have been a significant part of his career. “I realized that OFWs not only provide financial support but also aspire to buy a home for their families,” Victor shared. 

“This experience in my job made me realize that OFWs investing in Philippine real estate is a truly rewarding decision. They work hard and save diligently to fulfill their dream of owning a home,” Victor said. “Even while adapting to new cultures abroad, our OFWs never give up on their goal of securing a home for their families. Their resilience and determination are truly heartwarming.” 

For employees, P.A. Properties has been a source of both professional and personal growth. Thess Amante, Lead – Accounting, has been with the company for an impressive 28 years. Reflecting on her journey, Thess shared: 

“This nurturing environment allowed me to develop my skills and recognize my strengths, leading to significant personal and professional growth. I greatly value P.A. Properties for its family-oriented culture, which promotes a supportive and inclusive environment. This focus on family dynamics and work-life balance enhances the workplace experience and aligns with my values, fostering belonging and support.” 

Thess began working with P.A. Properties while still an undergraduate studying Accountancy. With the company’s support, she was able to balance both her job and education, eventually earning her degree in 2017.  More importantly, her job has allowed her to provide education for her three children and secure her own family’s home—a true reflection of P.A. Properties’ mission to help families thrive.

The journey doesn’t end here. With 20 new communities planned over the next five years, P.A. Properties remains dedicated to addressing the housing needs of the nation while empowering its homeowners, brokers, and employees. “We’re writing new stories every day,” says President and CEO, Atty.
