Aiming for the socio-economic recovery of the nation from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, MVP Group of Companies chairman and Philippine business tycoon Manny V. Pangilinan assuaged uncertainties by strengthening Landco and jumpstarting the tourism industry in order to build a more resilient nation.
“MVP is not just about profits. As part of the MVP Group of companies, we feel how much he cares about his employees, the people under his stewardship. Taking his lead, Landco endeavored to take care of its own. At the start of the pandemic, there was a public commitment by Landco Top Management to its employees that no one will lose their job. And we are proud to say that we’ve lived up to that promise,” said Landco President and CEO Erickson Y. Manzano. Landco's strong workforce re-engineered its systems and processes for greater productivity at the onset of the community quarantine. The company, at the same time, rationalized and analyzed its budget for cost efficiency. Manzano added, “Our operations team channeled energies to our back office: Title Transfer, Customer Service, Finance, and IT. We focused on customers and updated them on their titles. We implemented a more efficient enterprise-wide system to replace SAP, and streamlined our operations."

While these improvements in operations prove to be essential to the stability of the organization, the company known for pioneering landscapes for more than three decades continues to offer innovative and exciting concepts for Filipinos to adapt to the new normal. Landco introduced its revolutionary concept of Leisure Tourism Estates (LTE), master-planned developments with mixed-use residential and commercial lots, situated in Club Laiya and CaSoBē in Batangas and Samal Island in Davao. Millennial Resorts, operated by Landco, features a wide range of amenities that serve as a beacon for tourists in these developments. True to its commitment of developing and keeping local talents, Landco employs and trains locals as part of its team to ensure that guests will have a pleasant and unforgettable experience at its facilities.
“We support MVP’s thrust in tourism as one of the key drivers in the recovery efforts of the country," stated Landco Senior Consultant for Hospitality and Tourism Patrick C. Gregorio. Meanwhile, Manzano cited, “On the operations front, we got our Resort and Staycation Certifications from the Department of Tourism during the pandemic. We offered our Crusoe Cabins for those who wanted to work from the beach, and with that, we were able to keep our whole team employed throughout the pandemic, 90% of whom live in the Batangas community where Crusoe is located." Millennial Resorts also offers unconventional accommodations of the surreal capsule-like rooms of Cocoons and water amenities such as the Aquaria Water Park at CaSoBē and the Beach Club at Club Laiya. Captain Barbossa bar and restaurant provides a chic and casual dining experience.
With MVP's leadership on the long-term sustainability program for a better nation, Landco LTEs Club Laiya and CaSoBē are now both LEED registered. Millennial Resorts will soon acquire EDGE Certification, a Sustainability Certification from the World Bank's International Finance Corporation, by the end of the year.
