Easy-breezy summer escapes
It’s official (according to Pagasa): Summer is here.
And with that official declaration comes the unbearable heat of the season. City dwellers can’t wait to run away from the urban jungle every chance they get to escape to the beaches and resort towns that are sure to provide even a temporary relief.
At the end of a long and grueling workweek, all roads lead outside the city and into quick summer getaways where weekend warriors can cool down and recharge before enduring yet another scorching week in the city.
Trusted property developer Sta. Lucia Land Inc. (SLLI) offers its line of resort developments and hotels that will provide you respite and relaxation on the hot summer days coming your way.
