The program was graced by no other than Senator JV Ejercito Estrada who shared to the audience his personal experience in the real estate industry before he entered politics. In his brief talk, he emphasized three points about real estate in the Philippines: (1) Power crisis is a major problem to the real estate industry and must be addressed; (2) Infrastructure is one of the leading drivers in boosting economy. To sustain this growth, urban congestion may be controlled by developing properties in the countryside. A better railway system must be established to allow easier transportation of goods and a cheaper cost of living to support this vision, and lastly (3) The Local Housing Board Bill, which Sen. Ejercito authored, aims to institutionalize affordable local housing in 144 cities and in at least 700 first to third class municipalities country.
Moreover, the senator briefly discussed other matters such as the importance of mixed-used development in the country and also mentioned about the advancement of San Juan City as a business-friendly community and as one of the most progressive municipalities in the Philippines.
