DUBAI: Ambassador Hjayceelyn Quintana yesterday reminded property developers to ensure that overseas Filipino workers get the best deals, saying they should give justice to the OFWs’ hard earned money.
“Pinaghirapan ng mga OFWs iyang pera. Hindi sila mga regular investors na may pera. Give them the best projects, ‘wag yung mga sub-standards,” Quintana said in an interview with The Filipino Times.
The ambassador graced the opening of the 7th edition of the Philippine Property and Investment Exhibition at JW Marriot Deira, which is being participated in by eight major developers who flew in from Manila for the much-awaited event.
Quintana also lauded New Perspective Media for putting the event together, enabling OFWs to have many options.
“Natutuwa ako dahil yung organizer put all these together under one roof. OFws can actually have options, make a survey of what options are available. Kung saan saan ang ga projects, yun ang maganda, buong Pilipinas ang mga choices,” she said.
Quintana meanwhile advised OFWs to exercise due diligence in making decisions about property acquisition.
“Pag-aralang Mabuti. Maganda po ang ating property market. Maganda po ang ating investment market dahil ang ating ekonomiya ay malakas. Pag-aralan po nating mabuti.
“Una ay alamin kung ano ang purpose ng investment. Saan mag-iinvest. Anong location ang maganda at ano ang paggagamitan. I think, in any kind of investment you have to do your due diligence. You have to do your research,” Quintana said.
Among the developers present were Ayala Land Inc, Greenfield Development Corp., SMDC, Aboitiz Land, Federal Land, Sta. Lucia Land and Green Circle Realty.
