Landco Lifestyle Ventures and the Philippine Retirement Authority Partner to Promote SRRV as a Lifestyle Visa

A Strategic Collaboration Connecting Global Investment with Leisure Living in the Philippines

Manila, Philippines, March 20, 2026 – Landco Lifestyle Ventures (LLV), the Philippines’ leading hospitality-led leisure developer, proudly announces its partnership with the Philippine Retirement Authority (PRA), towards promoting lifestyle investment options in the country.

PRA’s Special Resident Retirees Visa (SRRV) allows global citizens seeking long-term residency in the Philippines to make lifestyle investments in the country’s most sought-after destinations.

The partnership was formally sealed recently at a signing ceremony held at Manila House, led by Landco Lifestyle Ventures President and CEO Erickson Manzano and Philippine Retirement Authority CEO Roberto Zozobrado, marking a significant milestone, as it affirms the Philippines’ latest recognition as the “Best Retirement Destination in Asia.”

A New Standard for Global Living

The SRRV offers foreign nationals a structured and reliable pathway to long-term residency through qualified real estate investment. LLV developments include master-planned coastal and mountain estates in destinations such as Calatagan, Nasugbu, and Laiya in Batangas.

With this partnership, investors may acquire beachfront condominium residences, gaining access to:

  • Streamlined retirement visa processing through the PRA
  • Exclusive ownership incentives tied to LLV developments
  • Access to LLV’s Lifestyle Pass network across resorts and estates
  • Hospitality-led property management, including leasing and maintenance services

Anchored in LLV’s philosophy of “Life on Vacation,” PRA’s SRRV transforms traditional notions of retirement into a lifestyle defined by ease, comfort, and intentional living.

Living Within the Destination

LLV offers residency within fully realized leisure environments. At LLV developments, residents do not simply live near destinations — they live within them. From the vibrant seaside energy of The Spinnaker at Club Laiya, to the relaxed coastal rhythm of The Nautilus within CaSoBe (Calatagan South Beach), and the refined exclusivity of The Residences at Terrazas de Punta Fuego, each destination is thoughtfully designed as a complete, hospitality-led community.

Here, everyday life is shaped by curated experiences — morning walks by the sea, defined by comfort and connection — supported by concierge-style services and thoughtfully planned environments.

Backed by Government, Strengthened by Partnership

The SRRV operates within the established system of the Philippine Retirement Authority, providing foreign nationals with clarity, security, and formal long-term residency.

“This new partnership offers more than a residency program — it is an invitation to experience a better way of living,” said Erickson Manzano, President and CEO of Landco Lifestyle Ventures. “By combining real estate investment with hospitality-driven environments, we are creating a compelling value proposition for global citizens seeking both stability and quality of life,” he added.

This collaboration reinforces the Philippine government’s vision to expand its position as a leading retirement destination in Asia, while driving tourism growth and foreign investment.

Designed for the Modern Global Retiree

As retirees and pre-retirees from markets such as the United States, Europe, Japan, South Korea, and Australia seek alternatives to traditionally high-cost destinations, the Philippines offers a compelling combination of natural beauty, warm hospitality, English proficiency, competitive cost of living, and the unique Filipino culture that has enamored more than 84,000 foreign retirees now happily settled in the country.

To support a seamless transition, LLV offers select incentives for qualified buyers, including assistance with visa requirements, initial fees, and property acquisition — ensuring that relocation is as seamless as the lifestyle it enables.

Elevating the Philippines as a Lifestyle Destination

With its pristine coastlines and expanding infrastructure, the Philippines continues to gain recognition as a destination for long-term living. The LLV and PRA partnership builds on this momentum by introducing a differentiated offering — one that goes beyond retirement into destination-led, experience-driven living.

“This partnership reflects a shared vision of positioning the Philippines not just as a place to retire, but as a place to truly live,” said Roberto Zozobrado, CEO and General Manager of the Philippine Retirement Authority.

“Through this collaboration, we welcome global citizens into vibrant, master-planned communities,” Zozobrado added. Landco Lifestyle Ventures continues to expand its portfolio across the country’s most desirable destinations. It stands as a cornerstone initiative, bridging global investment with its defining promise: “Life on vacation, everyday.”

Hotel Sogo, through its corporate social responsibility arm Sogo Cares, recently marked the second year of its initiative “Unbreakable Love, Unstoppable Warriors,” a community-focused gathering dedicated to children living with cerebral palsy and their families.

The activity was held in partnership with Cerebral Palsy Super Warriors Philippines Inc., a support-driven organization that advocates for children with cerebral palsy. The group provides a platform for families to connect, share experiences, and access guidance and support, helping build a stronger and more informed community.

This year’s gathering brought together over 30 children, along with their families, for a day of simple yet purposeful activities. The program was designed to be inclusive and relaxed, allowing both children and caregivers to participate comfortably and enjoy the experience at their own pace.

More than the activities themselves, the event created a space where families could interact with others who understand their journey. It gave children the opportunity to engage freely, while parents and caregivers were able to connect and share moments of support with one another.

The success of the initiative was made possible through the support of various partners. Mogu Mogu Philippines provided refreshments for the attendees, adding to the overall experience. Pushpin Incorporated, led by Ms. Jane Cruz, and Kiwanis of Quezon City, led by Ms. Mariana Vicente, contributed gifts and raffle items, which brought excitement and enjoyment to the children.

Media partners also played an important role in supporting and documenting the event. Representatives from Saksi Ngayon, Village Connect, Simpol.ph, Dyaryo Pinoy, Laso Experience Magazine, The Manila Times, Manila Standard, Malaya Business Insight, and others were present. In addition to coverage, several media groups also extended support by providing gifts and raffle items for the participants.

According to Ms. Sue Geminiano, Marketing Head of Hotel Sogo, “Through Sogo Cares, we aim to create initiatives that go beyond our core business. This program allows us to connect with communities and provide a space where these children and their families can feel supported, even in simple ways.” She emphasized that Sogo Cares is guided by a consistent commitment to community engagement.

“We understand that even small efforts can have a meaningful impact,” she added. “Through Sogo Cares, we want to create experiences where families feel acknowledged and included. It’s our way of extending our role beyond service and into community support.” She also shared that initiatives like “Unbreakable Love, Unstoppable Warriors” are intended to be sustained and developed over time. “We want this to grow into a continuing effort where families know they are part of a community that supports them.”

Through Sogo Cares, Hotel Sogo continues to implement programs that focus on community involvement and social responsibility. Initiatives like “Unbreakable Love, Unstoppable Warriors” reflect the company’s ongoing efforts to contribute to inclusive and meaningful activities that bring value to the communities it serves.

As Hotel Sogo continues to expand nationwide, it also invites the public to visit its branches and support a brand that actively participates in community-driven initiatives. Each visit helps sustain programs that aim to create a positive and lasting impact beyond hospitality.

5 reasons estate planning shows lasting love

Estate planning remains one of the most underutilized financial tools in the Philippines.

A study by Sun Life Asia shows while 64% of Filipinos are aware of wills and estate planning documents, only 32% use them. Even more striking, only a mere 18% of respondents feel fully prepared in terms of legacy arrangements if they were to pass away.

These numbers highlight a clear gap between awareness and action. Many Filipino families understand the importance of estate planning, yet only a few take the necessary steps to secure their family’s future.

Estate planning is more than a legal or financial exercise. Rather, it is a meaningful act of love that safeguards families, preserves values, and ensures legacies continue.

According to Sun Life Grepa Financial, Inc. (Sun Life Grepa), one of the country’s leading insurers, there are five compelling reasons estate planning is a true expression of one’s lasting love:

  1. It ensures your family’s future. Estate planning helps provide for long-term needs such as education, property ownership, and other essential priorities. A well-organized plan ensures guidance and support for loved ones, and even the next generation, to build a secure future.
  2. It shields loved ones from emergencies. Unexpected events such as accidents, medical emergencies, or sudden expenses can place a heavy burden on families. Effective estate planning provides financial protection during difficult times, allowing families to focus on recovery and stability rather than worrying about money.
  3. It helps avoid family disputes. Confusion over inheritance or asset distribution can lead to conflicts among heirs. Having clear plans and legal documents helps prevent misunderstandings, protecting both assets and family relationships.
  4. It lets you minimize taxes and financial burdens. Proper estate planning provides strategies to reduce potential estate taxes, debts, and other obligations. It also provides liquidity to cover essential costs such as funeral expenses, allowing families to retain the full value of their inheritance and maintain financial stability during challenging times.
  5. It protects assets from mismanagement. A well-structured estate plan establishes guidance on how assets should be managed and used. This protects the wealth you’ve built from mismanagement or poor financial decisions by heirs who may not yet be mature enough to handle substantial inheritances, ensuring that your legacy is preserved and used according to its intended purposes.

To make estate planning practical and accessible for every Filipino, Sun Life Grepa offers several solutions that suit various needs:

  • Sun Grepa Secure Income: A lifetime protection and savings plan that provides guaranteed life insurance and annual cash benefits, supporting families’ financial security.
  • Sun Grepa ProsSecure: A lifetime protection plan that provides guaranteed life insurance coverage until age 100 with limited pay options.

For guidance on protecting your loved ones and securing your legacy, consult a Sun Life Grepa advisor or visit www.sunlifegrepa.com.
