Victoria Court Panelists at Spentrep and Regis AGSB Clark

Rizal, Philippines  | March 31, 2014

                           Carlo and Francis (Pope) lead the Spentrep case analysis at Spentrep

We had Victoria Court Case analysis at AGSB Clark, and tonight at Spentrep in H de la Costa.  I like this case because of the chuckles and laughter hat goes with the case, plus the personal biases/opinion.  They are the stuff that prevent clear and critical thinking.  The situation is deceptive.  And sometimes, you notice that ladies are more knowledgeable than males on the subject matter.

The panelists for Spentrep were Francis Butiong and Carlo Senica

When you mention that is about positioning (laughter)

It is what you do inside not outside  (laughter)

Penetrating the market. (more laughter)

When you search Google, the name of the Professor is often associated with Victoria Court (as if I am the expert of founder)

 Kristhel, a brand manager of a premium rhum had the class experience their product. It 40 proof wine

For Clark AGSB, the panelists were Michael Tan and Marlon Pizarro.

                              Kristhel was all smiles and gave cogent comments on positioning

             Time for rhum tasting;  it is a premium rhum, costs $36.00 and Kristhel is the brand manager

                               It is cheaper to stay in hotel and more family oriented

Chinese business acumen made the billion peso mega real estate project become a reality

Rizal Philippines  |  March 16, 2014

Michael Tan, who is on audit was our host for the second business (Hausland)  a large real estate development in Angeles  City (the biggest in Angeles?).  It is a 40 hectare JV project with the Lazatin.  It total inventory of 1,400 plots would amount to about P4 billion.  Michael Tan, the VP for Marketing,  the son of a former colleague at Unilab, said that the cost to develop land was at P1t per square meter.  The house construction, finished is at P17t/sm;  and selling price would be at P30 to P35t.  House construction use interlocking panels welded and does not use post thus is faster and cheaper. Many of their materials, except the roofing, are all from China (bought direct thus resulting in tremendous cost reduction) They reserve the adjoining lots for expansion of the house later on, thus doubling the sales (bundling?)  From the costs, we can compute the GP per sm.  (It is billions too)
