MANILA, Philippines—After an extended and thorough judging process that included a series of site visits for the development entries, the esteemed panel of seven expert judges for the Philippines Property Awards has announced its full shortlist of winners.

Every shortlisted company will receive either a winner’s trophy or a “Highly Commended” certificate and the awards will be presented by leading industry figures in the ballroom of Raffles & Fairmont

Makati on the evening of September 30.

Alba Romeo & Co, representing BDO Advisory as the independent monitor for the judging process, confirmed that the scores for the awards had been tabulated appropriately, based on score sheets provided by the judges.

the awards, but this list surpasses our expectations. We are clearly laying firm foundations for the future of the PPAs and can see them growing rapidly from this very strong start. I wish the best of luck to all the shortlisted companies and thanks to the judges for selecting such a strong and balanced field.”
