Launching of Xevera Subdivision at Calibutbut Bacolor Pampanga

// January 20th, 2008

I love the perks of investing on real estate - I get informed about free shows! Just recently, my real estate broker sent me invites to Xevera Subdivision’s launch show, which was held in Expo Filipino Clark.

My six invites allowed me to bring along with me Dude, my bro’s family and a friend of his. There were lots of people and chaos, of course.

We got to the Expo Filipino amphiteater about two hours late so we only got to watch just a few of the entertainers. The highlights for me were Manny “Pooh” Pacquiao’s performance - not as sickeningly funny as his/her Wowowee jokes but still better than the rest. I definitely enjoyed the dance number of Victor Basa, Jake Cuenca, and the Bench model and another ABS-CBN actor whose name I haven’t heard. There were Pinoy Big Brother folks like Mariel, Toni Gonzaga, the Hawak Kamay singer and Cassandra Ponti (?).

Also, I won’t be able to forget John Lloyd’s boyish cuteness but too bad Basha, er, Bea Alonzo wasn’t with him.

Sarah Geronimo’s rendition of Beyonce Knowles’ Listen was quite commendable, too. We’re quite grateful for the confetti shower because it caught the attention of my fidgety two-year old niece for a good minute. Mikee was so restless that I only got to relish about 10% of the show!

The new community, as Globe Asiatique’s President Delfin Lee refuses to call Xevera as a housing project, seems to be one that will tickle the fancy of many mid-class Pampanga residents and Clark workers. For only Php5,000 per month you can avail of a unit.

Why won’t Delfin Lee call Xevera a housing project? He implied that it’s already an all-in-one community since it has a church, a transportation terminal, a market, and a school.

But what’s the catch? I’ve heard that Xevera houses’ area size can be as minute as 45 square meters. I think that’s too small.
