UBER SUMMER AT LANCASTER!
Uber fun-filled activities blasted on a scorching Sunday at Lancaster Estates in
Alapan, Imus, Cavite. The groundbreaking ceremony for its future country club, alongside
the open house of Colleen, Haven, and Manor house models took place recently. The
event marked the green light on for country club construction as the officials of
the Property Company of Friends Inc. (Pro-friends) unveiled the future plans for
the much-awaited amenities, including the church at Lancaster Estates.
Despite the heat, Pro-friends top officials, led by EVP-COO Gus Leonardo and Senior
Vice President Jocelyn Guzman were unstoppable as they led the groundbreaking ceremony,
assisted by deputy head for sales & marketing, Catherine Galang and Area Director,
Nieves Santos. The groundbreaking and time capsule ceremonies symbolize good fortune
for all upcoming projects in the said area.
The event, dubbed as “UBER SUMMER AT LANCASTER” was indeed a certified
hit with uber flowing pocket activities at the linear park such as scavenger hunt,
stone painting, magnetic fishing, and kite-flying. Guests also laughed-out-loud
during the games of Charades sa Tag-init, Limbo Rock, Hep-hep Hooray, and Summer
Pinoy Henyo!
The contestants who joined the games gave positive remarks about the house models.
They found the house models elegant yet very affordable. One buyer for instance,
said that the house models’ design and space were fit to the specifics of
the ideal house she had been looking for.
Lancaster Estates will definitely become an alluring and thriving community where
people can have a commercial area with banks, gasoline station, convenience stores,
bus, and jeepney terminals, just a few steps away from their home.

2010 SALES RALLY HEATS UP!
The heat is on! As the summer heats up, the campaign to boost the morale of Pro-friends’
in-house agents builds up!
That was what exactly happened at the recently held sales rally at Montefaro Village,
Imus, Cavite, themed, “THE FORCE: To Breakthrough Beyond Possibilities.”
In-house agents were surprised as they received awards for hitting their sales target
for the month of January. The giving of awards for breakthrough sales performance
was in itself a breakthrough, a first in the history of Pro-friends sales rallies.
The festive event was graced by all division managers and top management officials
who were in "full force" as they came garbed in Star-Wars costumes. SVP Jojie Guman
as Queen Amidala, Deputy Head for Sales and Marketing Cath Galang as Princess Leia
and Sales Director Joey Teotico as Han Solo joined the in-house agents in promoting
a culture of excellence through a stronger sense of commitment and responsibility
in reaching sales objectives.
Following the recognition was the cheer and dance competition where in-house agents
showcased their intricate dance moves as well as their head-turning Star Wars inspired
costumes. Each team demonstrated camaraderie and team spirit as members cheered
for their respective teammates. And with no doubt, the judges of the competition
were stunned and entertained as all teams performed an all-out cheer and dance battle.
The audience roared with delight and rooted for their favorite teams. Despite the
close competition, one team emerged victorious. The coveted prize was swept away
by Planet Thunder composed of On the Go, Tumangday, Valiente and Sardonyx. The judges
also chose the teams who wore the best costumes. Two teams were hailed best in costume
- Planet Da Heads and Planet DL Jets.
Team members of Planet Thunder said that their painstaking efforts to rehearse before
the competition paid off. Inspired by their victory, they are more motivated to
reach their target sales.
Right after the competition, all division managers were called to recite the commitment
creed, a pledge that aims to instill among the in-house agents the passion to go
beyond what they are aiming for, while uplifting the morale of their network.
Executive Vice President, Gus Leonardo gamely appeared onstage as Darth Vader and
shared encouraging messages that certainly reminded every in-house agent that their
success is a gift from The Force above.
Despite the heat and the intense competition among teams, in-house agents were able
to grasp that with humility and good character THE FORCE will definitely emanate
from them, thus, allowing them to make a breakthrough.

ALOHA! ILOILO
Iloilo agents were treated to a luau Christmas party at the Parc Regency Residences.
Fresh fruits and flowers adorned the tables and the poolside. The Ilonggos warmly
received the Profriends “Milestones” – an audio-visual presentation
that featured the 10 years of the company since its inception in 1999, especially
when it highlighted the Iloilo office and projects - Parc Regency Residences and
Monticello Villas – as “flood-free subdivisions.”
The top sellers were Visions & Strategies, Inc. and Team Pineda Chua, followed by
SGE, IGPRC and EMTYM.
Agents were gamely dressed in Hawaiian costumes, even performing a fire dance for
the feel of the popular tropic island. The male and female stars of the night were
those donning the best luau costumes.
Taking home the grand prize for best group performance was VSI, for its unique fusion
of Christmas and the Hawaiian theme.
Employees and agents could’ve danced all night with the dance instructors
and music provided by the live band.

CHRISTMASquerade
The Christmas party for in-house sales agents at the Palacio de Maynila had a masquerade
theme. The women came in their lovely gowns looking like queens and princesses,
while the men looked dashing in their suits.
Everyone lined up for a chance to get their picture taken at the dressed-up photo
booth that showcased a lounge chair that had a mask and theater curtains as backdrop.
The “DMs” (Division Managers) wowed the crowd with their dance number
that opened the main event. The crowd went crazy with the performances of the central,
east and west groups who danced and sung ala-Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Rihanna,
the Beatles, Village People and Diana Ross. The East sector was awarded the best
group performance.
All top sellers were awarded with trophies, checks and brand new cars. The first
Hall of Fame awardee was indeed given the royal treatment – a surprise video
tribute, red carpet lined by cadets with swords, escorted by the EVP, welcomed by
the president of Profriends and serenaded by Rannie Raymundo.
Profriends employees gave a fitting dance medley that included a waltz with no less
than the EVP, Mr. Leonardo as the phantom, the team leads’ dancing to “Cinderella”
and everybody joining in “Ever, Ever After” as the finale.

BELLEFORT ESTATES GRAND LAUNCH
One sunny Saturday in November, BELLEFORT ESTATES, the 110-hectare premier development
of PROFRIENDS, was launched in Molino, Bacoor, Cavite.
Attended by close to a thousand guests, the Bellefort grand open house started with
a motorcade, followed by a mass and blessing of the “Dressed-Up” and
“As-Delivered” model houses, the linear park, training room and sales
office. Activities such as stone painting, build-your-popsicle-house and kiddy golf,
showcased the linear park. A linear park is the common open space behind every home
in a block that can be turned into a playground or activity area. Bellefort’s
“Dressed-Up” linear park has a swing and seesaw, which the kids enjoyed.
Adults had their portraits sketched for free by the gazebo and fountain areas. Mommies
trooped to the Training room for the scrapbooking demo sponsored by Memory Lane.
A press conference was held over lunch and in attendance as PCFI executive panel
were Ms. Cath Galang, sales & marketing deputy head, Ms. Tate Santos, area director,
Ms. Jojie Guzman, senior vice president and Mr. Gus Leonardo, executive vice president.
