Ilonggos recognize the significance of value for money in the products they buy. Value for money is defined as a utility derived from every purchase for every sum spent. It is based not just on the maximum purchase price (economy) but on the maximum efficiency and effectiveness of the purchase as well.

Value for money is also what Ilonggos expect when they purchase their dream homes. Aware of such expectations, Pro•Friends (Property Company of Friends) built the biggest swimming pool in an Iloilo subdivision, that is Parc Regency Residences.

This however is not only what homeowners expect to enjoy at Parc Regency Residences but also modern facilities like a clubhouse with function rooms, children’s playground, gym with shower areas, covered court for basketball, volleyball or badminton. Those who own homes can likewise avail themselves of the power and water distribution, the 24-hour security and shuttle service.

It is at Parc Regency Residences where the idea of linear parks originated. Linear parks are open spaces at the back of the homes where families or neighbors can gather during special occasions. They promote neighborliness.
