DMCI Homes has entered into a partnership with The Medical City to provide in-patient services discount for residents of its condominium communities.

Under the agreement, residents of DMCI Homes projects will be entitled to a 7% discount on all in-patient services availed at the main healthcare complex of The Medical City in Ortigas Avenue, Pasig City by virtue of the Community Privilege Program.

The discount program, which is now in effect, covers out-of-pocket costs of residents, excluding professional fees, medicines and package procedures.

The Medical City AVP for Relationship Management and Business Development Emelie Escasinas said residents just need to present their temporary accommodation slip at the Billing Department 24 hours before discharge to avail of the discount.

“Even if you have an existing health card or are engaged with health maintenance organizations (HMOs), you will be entitled to a community discount by The Medical City for those out of pocket expenses,” she explained.

Citing their invaluable contributions to the attainment of the company's vision of building communities, DMCI Homes recently honored Community Development Council members of its residential projects who helped promote a sense of belongingness among their fellow residents in the past year.

During the first DMCI Homes Communities’ Yearend Party held at the company’s headquarters in Makati City, DMCI Homes President Alfredo Austria expressed his gratitude to the unit owner attendees as he reassured them of the company’s continuing support for their undertakings to further promote a sense of community in their respective condominium residences.

 “I’d just like to tell you tonight that we are fully supportive of your efforts in building your communities. Just let us know what we can do to help build better communities and rest assured that we will be working hand in hand with you in these efforts,” Austria said.

 DMCI Homes Property Management Corporation (DPMC) Senior Vice President Enrico C. Wong also thanked the attendees as he encouraged them to continue caring not just for their units but also for the welfare of the whole community and their fellow residents.

 “For the beauty of the community to thrive, it takes everybody’s effort. As what an African proverb says, it takes a village to raise a child. So we always challenge our unit owners, please don’t just love your unit, please love your community,” Wong appealed.

Noting the stiff competition in the real estate industry, DMCI Homes’ top construction officers underscored the importance of continuous learning and improvement among foremen and capataces who participated in the recently held Supervisory Skills Enhancement Workshop (SSEW) at the company’s headquarters in Makati City.

The two-day workshop last Dec. 7 and 12 was the second of a series of trainings lined up by DMCI Homes to enhance labor productivity and improve overall work quality onsite.

The second workshop aimed to develop and enhance the participants’ competencies necessary to become an effective and successful supervisor by teaching them effective resources management, critical thinking, personal efficiency, performance management and basic leadership skills.
