Survey debunks (and confirms) workplace myths on millennials

Home Credit’s HR survey reveals interesting data about tweens—and thirtysomethings, too

Tagaytay Highlands: Your Premier Mountain Resort Investment

Tagaytay Highlands has long been the benchmark of leisure mountain living in the country. What started as a mere weekend getaway for the Filipino elite has evolved into a township – a fusion of Tagaytay’s natural beauty and city conveniences. For over 20 years, Tagaytay Highlands continues to thrive while pioneering a lot of this country’s firsts, from residential communities like the signature log cabins, golf club membership to Swiss cable cars and other recreational amenities, taking mountain-side living up a notch.

Backed by the long-standing credibility of the SM Group, property value in Tagaytay Highlands remains to appreciate as it continues to develop its vast land area of more than one thousand hectares and introduce innovative concepts – like two of its residential communities – Aspenhills and Nob Hill.
