Pasig City area emerged triumphant in the hardcourt battle among DMCI  Homes communities this year, bringing home both the senior and junior  division titles of the 2017 DMCI Homes Communities Basketball  tournament.

The senior team of Pasig communities overcame a 13-point deficit in the second quarter to beat defending champion Acacia Estates 96-76 in the championship game held recently at the DMCI Homes Corporate Center Multipurpose Court in Makati City.

Senior division season Most Valuable Player Roy Cayanan and finals MVP Francis Camacho combined for 35 points to power their team's romp in the third quarter to put the game away for good for Pasig communities.

The different DMCI Homes communities in Metro Manila were grouped into five areas for the competition. Area 1 represents communities in Quezon City; area 2 for Acacia Estates, DMCI Homes' township development in Taguig City; and Area 3 for residences in the south.

On the other hand, Area 5 covers eastern Metro Manila while Area 6 constitutes communities in the Pasig City area.

Pasig seniors' team head coach Noel Panganiban in an interview said they always look forward to playing in the annual summer league which aims to foster closer community ties and encourage camaraderie, unity, and sportsmanship among residents of DMCI Homes condominium communities.

The DMCI Homes Quality Council recently recognized the second batch of awardees for the company’s year-long Tumpak construction quality management competition.

Project sites were graded by the Quality Management Department from Jan. 1 to March 31, 2017 to select the second crop of Tumpak awardees.

The recognition of winners was led by DMCI Homes President Alfredo Austria during the launch of this year’s edition of Sikat, Kapit-bisig and Tigbayon (Enhancement of Existing Design Features) Quality Programs last June 8 at the Multipurpose Hall of DMCI Homes Corporate Center.

Maple Place, manned by project-in-charge (PIC) Eric Emocling and area manager Ronie L. Correa, earned two recognitions, winning both Compliance Consciousness and Quality Responsiveness awards for projects with 0-30 percent progress (Category A).

Another awardee is Lumiere Residences which won the Compliance Consciousness award for projects with 31-79 percent progress (Category B). The development along Pasig Boulevard corner Shaw Boulevard in Pasig City is being managed by PIC Mark Lavapie and area manager Christian Manahan.

DMCI Homes President Alfredo R. Austria said the company’s hot-selling properties is a result of the country’s first Quadruple A builder-developer’s continuing campaign to instill a culture of quality among its employees.

Austria made the pronouncement during the relaunching of the company’s select quality programs and awarding of winners of employee-engaging projects recently as he revealed that DMCI Homes is poised to hit its P26 billion 12-month sales target this year in just the first half of 2017.

This year’s edition of Sikat, Kapit-bisig and Tigbayon (Enhancement of Existing Design Features) were launched while quarterly winners of Tumpak and Angat as well as employees who recently passed the board examinations were all recognized during the event held last June 8 at the Multipurpose Hall of DMCI Homes Corporate Center.

“It really speaks volumes because it only means that a lot of people believe in DMCI Homes. Many people believe DMCI Homes offers the best value because the money they will be spending will get the best quality in return,” Austria said in his speech.
