Imagine waking up to the sound of waves. Stepping onto a balcony that overlooks the sea. Spending your days exactly as you’ve always pictured retirement or remote work should feel — unhurried, sun-drenched, and surrounded by everything that makes life genuinely good.

For a growing number of global retirees and digital nomads, this is no longer a dream deferred. Through the Philippine Lifestyle Visa (PLV) — an exclusive program by Landco Lifestyle Ventures (LLV) — it is simply a new way of life.

Your Key to LLV’s World

The Philippine Lifestyle Visa is Landco Lifestyle Ventures’ invitation to the world — a program that opens the door to LLV’s premiere and award-winning portfolio of resort communities, and places long-term residency in the Philippines comfortably within reach.

For those who have always been drawn to the Philippines — its warmth, its coastlines, its people, its pace — the PLV offers something rare: a genuine, graceful way to stay.

PLV holders gain access to some of the most celebrated resort addresses in the country. The Spinnaker at Club Laiya, where the South China Sea stretches endlessly from your balcony. The Nautilus at CaSoBē in Calatagan, where the rhythm of beach life sets the tempo of every day. The Residences at Terrazas de Punta Fuego — one of the most exclusive and storied addresses in Batangas, perched above the sea on the legendary Punta Fuego peninsula.

Each property is a world unto itself. Together they form one of the most distinctive lifestyle portfolios in Southeast Asia.

More Than a Visa. A Way of Life.

What sets the Philippine Lifestyle Visa apart is what it leads to. Among the recognized routes to the Philippine Retirement Authority’s Special Resident Retiree’s Visa, the Philippine Lifestyle Visa stands apart — combining government-backed residency eligibility with exclusive access to LLV’s award-winning portfolio of resort communities.

Through LLV’s formal partnership with the Philippine Retirement Authority (PRA), PLV holders are guided seamlessly along a government-supported pathway to permanent long-term residency — combining the security of official status with the extraordinary lifestyle infrastructure that only LLV’s resort communities can offer.

It is the rare program that makes both the practical and the beautiful feel effortless.

The Philippines, Reimagined as Home

“Landco Pacific brings ‘Life on Vacation’ into everyday living by creating communities where nature, wellness, leisure, and relaxation become part of daily life,” said Joyce L. Benigay, Sales Director of Landco Lifestyle Ventures. “The Philippine Lifestyle Visa is how we invite the world to live that life — not just visit it.”

At a recent luncheon hosted by the Business and Professional Women (BPW) Ayala Makati Chapter, LLV gathered members of the diplomatic corps, business leaders, and professionals to explore exactly this — the Philippines not as a destination to pass through, but as a place the world is increasingly choosing to call home.

As more global citizens seek out destinations that offer genuine quality of life, wellness, a warm cost of living, and the assurance of long-term residency, the Philippine Lifestyle Visa quietly positions LLV — and the Philippines — at the heart of that conversation.

The life you imagined is already here. The Philippine Lifestyle Visa is simply the way in.

The Figaro Foundation marked the second year of its annual Coffee Tree Planting: From Crop to Cup 2025 by donating and planting 1,000 coffee seedlings in Purok 6, Sitio Bagbag, Brgy. San Isidro, Lipa City, Batangas. The initiative, joined by over 200 dedicated volunteers, highlights the foundation’s mission to preserve and revitalize Batangas’ long-standing coffee culture while empowering local farming communities.

As part of its long-term commitment, the Figaro Foundation has pledged to conduct biannual maintenance and cleaning of the planting sites for the next two years to ensure that the seedlings thrive and contribute to sustainable coffee production. This effort underscores the foundation’s dedication to not only planting trees but also creating lasting impact on the environment and the local economy.

“This tree planting program is more than just a one-day initiative—it is about cultivating the roots of Batangas’ coffee heritage for generations to come,” said Mary Joy Herrera, Administrator of the Figaro Foundation. “By engaging our volunteers, partners, and communities, we are building towards a future where local coffee farming continues to flourish.”

The milestone event was strengthened by a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed by key partners: Mary Joy Herrera (Figaro Foundation Administrator), John Christopher Laderas (Figaro Coffee Group Brand Manager), Ric Pesa (lot owner), and Hon. Tasiano Mea (Barangay Captain). This agreement formalizes support and partnership in sustaining the initiative’s environmental and community-driven goals.

Through projects like this, Figaro Foundation continues to demonstrate its commitment to both environmental stewardship and socio-economic upliftment by supporting local coffee growers. The program ensures that Batangas, historically known as a cradle of Philippine coffee, retains and enhances its reputation as a center of coffee excellence.
