Finally, a home they can truly call their own!
The Waje family, headed by spouses Manolo and Anabelle, moved in to their new La Aldea Fernandina unit last November 17, 2011. It was indeed a momentous event not only for the Wajes, but for PODC as well since it was the very first unit turn-over in Pueblo de Oro Pampanga Communities.
Prior to move-in, the Wajes stayed in a rented residential apartment in San Fernando for more than four years. They were very much eager to starting owning their dream home, but found it difficult to get one that suited their preference and budget.
With all three children still in school, the financial aspect of owning a home was a major concern. Most developers in the area require outright down payment of at least 10-30% of the selling price, which the Wajes cannot readily afford. On the other hand, other projects which can accommodate their financial capacity are all located outside of San Fernando. Residing in any of these projects would mean higher transportation costs and longer travel time for their kids, who attend school in San Fernando.
When Anabelle's cousin, Ana Tumang, offered them the La Aldea Fernandina, it was a pleasant surprise for the couple to find a project within the city with nearly built up units, and easy financing terms. Manolo, a mechanical engineer who also has vast experience in construction, was fully satisfied with the construction quality, not only of the unit, but of the whole village.
After fulfulling the necessary documentary requirements and less than four months from reservation date with less than P30,000 equity payment, the Wajes are now enjoying the comfort, security and convenience of their new home.
