A Fil-Scandinavian sanctuary

MORE Filipinos than ever are seeking solace, as evidenced by the growing number of homebuyers looking for residential properties outside metro cities. The shift reflects a desire for a more serene and nature-oriented lifestyle, with buyers on the lookout for green space, cleaner air and tranquility.

One promising, soon-to-rise sanctuary, nestled in the serene landscape of Antipolo City, combines the light and airy Filipino quality of being "maaliwalas" with the Scandinavian concept of "hygge," pronounced as hoo-gah, that evokes comfort and relaxation.
