during its dry dock. So DDC stands for DRY DOCK CORP. But when the 3
big shipping companies merge, the company decided to shift into realty
and development which is the second alternative stipulated in the SEC
Registration. The company was then based in Cebu City when it started
building residential houses. And in 1991the company transferred in
Manila and from there, it succeeded as land developer and now
recognized as the best low-cost housing developer by various award
giving bodies.

The company's first venture as developer was the Low-Cost Housing
Development in Cabuyao Laguna, Crystal Ville Subd for more than a
thousand employees of Read-Rite Philippines owned by an American firm.
Then in 1999 the company responded to the call of then Pres. Joseph
Estrada to provide decent and affordable housing units for PNP, DECS,
OFW's and other government employees. When the housing proposal was
approved by DILG Sec., Santa. Rosa Garden Villas I in Barangay Ibaba,
was built with over a thousand unit sold mostly to PNP's and Teachers
and to some private or civilian employees.

Sta. Rosa Laguna is lucky to us, maswerte kami dito. Kaya we decided
to buy another property in Macabling, near SM and that's our second,
Sta. Rosa Garden Villas 2, with 410 units sold out in less than a
year.
We didn't stop there; most of our clients are within Sta. Rosa and
nearby provinces and there is Technopark which compromise about 40% of
our buyers, so we have to stick to our viability, and when the
opportunity comes we bought some properties near Project I, which is
Sta. Rosa Garden Villas III Phase 1, then Garden Villas III Phase 2
all sold out with 1,165 units in all. Our ongoing project is Sta. Rosa
Garden Villas III Phase 3 which will be completed before the 2010 is
over. DDC Land has just launched Phase 5 of Garden Villas III with
1,048 residential units which is adjacent to Phase 3. At present DDC
