Living Connected: Profriends Builds the Kapitbahay to Kapitbuhay Lifestyle in Iloilo

At Parc Regency Residences, home means more than just a roof—it’s a community where Ilonggos grow, help, and celebrate life together

Ilonggos are known for their close-knit communities and deep sense of pakikipagkapwa, a way of life that values genuine connection and shared growth. In a fast-changing world, where families constantly juggle work, school, and the demands of modern living, preserving this bond has become even more meaningful. More than just finding a place to live, many families today seek a home that allows them to nurture relationships and create lasting memories with the people around them.

For Property Company of Friends, Inc. (Profriends), one of the country’s fastest-growing property developers, this evolving need for meaningful connection is at the heart of its vision for Iloilo. Reimagining what community living can be, Profriends began its journey in the province in 2007. Among its developments in the area is Parc Regency Residences, a master-planned estate that reflects the belief that a home is more than a structure. It is a space where relationships grow, support systems strengthen, and families thrive together.

The development embodies Profriends’ philosophy of transforming Kapitbahay (neighbors) into Kapitbuhay (partners in life). This concept goes beyond proximity. It is about building a relationship rooted in empathy, care, and shared purpose, where every Kapitbahay becomes a Kapitbuhay. A kapitbuhay community is one where people look out for one another, celebrate milestones together, and build an environment that nurtures growth and belonging.

Located in Barangay Ungka II, Pavia, Parc Regency Residences spans 64.97 hectares of thoughtfully planned spaces designed for modern Filipino families. It is where everyday essentials meet the warmth of neighborhood living, and where Ilonggos can thrive in a safe, sustainable, and family-oriented environment.

Everyday essentials within reach

Accessibility is one of the greatest comforts of living at Parc Regency Residences. The estate is just a short drive from Iloilo International Airport, major shopping malls, and Iloilo Business Park, giving residents easy access to work, leisure, and lifestyle destinations.

Nearby schools and transport hubs make day-to-day routines simpler and more efficient, while retail and service establishments within Pavia provide daily conveniences close to home. 

For many Ilonggo families, this means more time for what truly matters: sharing meals, watching children grow, and being part of a neighborhood that feels like home.

A safe and family-friendly environment

Beyond its strategic location, Parc Regency Residences was built with families in mind. The community offers ample open spaces where children can play safely, families can spend quality time together, and neighbors can build lasting connections. 

From the clubhouse to the basketball court, every corner of Parc Regency Residences invites residents to come together, celebrate, and share the warmth that defines Ilonggo hospitality.

“Profriends believes that true community living means creating spaces where people look out for one another,” said Mary Pauline Villagante, Business Unit Head of Profriends Iloilo. “At Parc Regency Residences, we want our residents to experience a deeper sense of belonging, where being a good neighbor naturally grows into living life together as one community.”

A community that grows together

Since establishing its presence in Iloilo in 2007, Profriends has continuously strengthened its relationship with the local community. Through various programs and partnerships, the company promotes youth leadership, education, and social responsibility among residents.

Events such as the Familia Fiesta, a youth-led celebration organized with neighboring Monticello Villas, show how residents take an active role in nurturing a vibrant and inclusive community. Profriends’ partnerships with educational institutions, such as the University of St. La Salle in Iloilo, also reflect its long-term commitment to empowering young Ilonggos and supporting their growth.

Sustainable living, Ilonggo pride

As Iloilo continues to rise as one of the country’s most progressive provinces, Parc Regency Residences stands as a model of sustainable township development. It balances urban accessibility with green living, ensuring that families enjoy both progress and peace of mind.

For young professionals, returning OFWs, and growing families, it is an investment that nurtures both the present and the future. It is a home where every moment is rooted in genuine community spirit and Ilonggo pride.

Experience the Kapitbuhay Lifestyle

In today’s fast-paced world, finding a place that lets you live meaningfully, stay connected, and feel secure is a rare gift. At Parc Regency Residences, this is not just an ideal but a way of life.

Here, the goal is to create neighborhoods where residents see each other as more than people who live next door. They are envisioned to become Kapitbuhay—partners in building a caring and connected community, consistent with the same spirit that thrives in Profriends’ developments in Cavite.
