MVP-led Landco Pacific Corporation, strengthens its commitment to sustainable luxury living through a landmark partnership with ACEN, the Ayala Group’s listed energy platform and one of Asia Pacific’s fastest-growing renewable energy companies.
Through this collaboration, CaSoBe (Calatagan South Beach), Landco
Lifestyle Ventures’ (LLV) flagship development that embodies a distinctive
resort lifestyle and vibrant leisure-tourism experience in Batangas, will now
be fully powered by renewable energy. This milestone reinforces its standing as
a pioneering model for sustainability-driven coastal development in the
Philippines.
“Sustainability is deeply ingrained in Landco’s DNA. We pursue it not
because it’s required, but because it’s the right thing to do. This transition
to 100% renewable energy is a significant step for CaSoBe and aligns perfectly
with our commitment to environmental stewardship,” said Erickson Y. Manzano,
President and CEO of Landco Pacific Corporation and LLV.
“By partnering with ACEN, we are not only ensuring a greener operation
for our resort but also offering our guests a truly sustainable and responsible
leisure experience,” Manzano further shared.
A Partnership for a Greener Tomorrow
Under this partnership, ACEN Renewable Energy Solutions (ACEN RES) will
supply clean, reliable, and affordable power to CaSoBe, supporting ACEN’s goal
of 100% renewable energy generation by 2025 and Net Zero greenhouse gas
emissions by 2050. Businesses supplied through ACEN RES earn the “Powered by
Renewable Energy” badge, a mark of sustainability leadership proudly carried by
CaSoBe.
The landmark agreement, facilitated through the Department of Energy
(DOE)’s Green Energy Option Program (GEOP), underscores Landco’s commitment to
sustainable tourism and operational excellence, positioning CaSoBē as a leader
in environmentally responsible leisure development in the Philippines.
The (GEOP) allows eligible end-users with a minimum average monthly
consumption of 100 kilowatts to directly choose their renewable energy supplier
and shift their power supply to 100% clean energy sources. This empowers
consumers to drive the transition to a sustainable energy future.
ACEN RES is currently the market leader in GEOP, holding a 57% market
share according to the latest Competitive Retail Electricity Market (CREM)
report from the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC).
A Legacy of Purposeful Living
Landco Pacific continues to redefine beachfront investments with
destinations like CaSoBe that blend long-term value with mindful living. “Owning
a Landco BeachTown property is more than an investment, it’s a legacy,” said
Manzano. “With our strong commitment to sustainability, it’s something you can
enjoy today and pass on to future generations, ensuring both well-being and
environmental harmony for years to come.”
CaSoBe offers mixed-use residential and commercial lots, allowing
investors to build sustainable beach retreats, bed-and-breakfasts, or
businesses that cater to the tourist market.
Quiet Luxury That Feels Good: Sustainable, Serene, and Distinctly CaSoBe
Located three hours from Metro Manila and renowned for its quiet luxury
lifestyle with stunning beach sunsets, the 15-hectare master-planned leisure
resort estate seamlessly integrates eco-conscious design, local
entrepreneurship, and memorable seaside experiences. The coastal development’s LEED
(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) registration, EDGE
certification for LLV with its eco-friendly Crusoe Cabins at CaSoBe, and EDGE
Advanced certification for its iconic beachfront condotel The Nautilus
underscore its commitment to environmental stewardship.
CaSoBe exemplifies sustainable luxury through a combination of energy
efficiency, eco-conscious design, and community-centered initiatives. The
Crusoe Cabins reduce energy consumption by 34%, water use by 57%, and embodied
energy by 65%, while The Nautilus is projected to save 43% energy, 37% water,
and 38% embodied energy. The estate’s design integrates permeable walkways, scenic
bike lanes, a double-piping system for water recycling, LED lamp posts,
blue-colored roads, and murals of marine life, creating a harmonious connection
with nature.
Beyond environmental stewardship, CaSoBe actively engages with the local
community through CSR programs, including the Adopt-a-Scholar initiative with
Batangas State University and nearby schools, mangrove planting, turtle
hatchling releases, and local employment, with 70% of LLV staff drawn from the
surrounding area.
Curated Stays and Bespoke Leisure, All in One Iconic LLV
Estate - CaSoBe
CaSoBe offers a unique blend of innovative accommodations and leisure
experiences designed to delight everyone. Alongside Crusoe Cabins, visitors can
stay in the futuristic Apollo Aeropods, which combine novelty and comfort in a
serene beach setting. For a more distinctive stay, the geodesic dome-shaped
Cupola and pod-like Cocoons offer playful yet stylish retreats, while the
300-sqm Chairman’s Cabin, the weekend residence of MPIC Chairman Manny V.
Pangilinan, and the 15.5-meter CaSoBe Lighthouse stand as iconic landmarks of
the estate.
Adding a signature residential dimension to the estate is The Nautilus —
a visionary beachfront condotel whose design draws inspiration from Jules
Verne’s legendary submarine Nautilus in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,
carved into CaSoBe’s shoreline like a ship anchored by the sea. This homage to
exploration and innovation gives The Nautilus an iconic silhouette that reflects
both curiosity and elegance, mirroring the sense of discovery that comes with
every sunrise and sunset by the water.
The Nautilus offers 171 residential units and five commercial spaces
designed for modern seaside living, each with panoramic bay views, generous
ceiling heights, and energy-efficient features that blend sustainability with
luxury.
Leisure and entertainment abound, from the 300-capacity Canopy events
space and dining experiences at Sands and Captain Barbozza restaurants, to the
Aquaria Water Park with three-story slides. Active guests can enjoy basketball,
volleyball, biking, and island-hopping adventures, ensuring every moment at
CaSoBe is a celebration of beachside luxury and playful indulgence.
The estate’s green corridors, walking paths, and direct beach access
also encourage wellness and reconnection with nature, offering curated water
activities, recreation, and leisure experiences for mind and body.
CaSoBe complements Calatagan’s rich heritage that showcases Cape Santiago Lighthouse, Starfish Island, and premium golf and polo clubs. Recognized as Lifestyle Hotel of the Year at the TDM Travel Trade Excellence Awards 2025, CaSoBe is soon to be rebranded as one of LLV’s Signature Estates, embodying immersive, meaningful experiences where sustainability, luxury, community, and inspired living coexist in perfect balance.
CaSoBe Redefines Laidback Luxury
At
CaSoBe, laid-back luxury is defined not just by its spaces, but by the emotions
it evokes. LLV’s signature approach creates a destination where families,
couples, and loved ones can slow down, reconnect, and make memories by the
shore. It’s a place that brings a deep sense of calm, where time stretches
gently and the mind can breathe. Its thoughtful architecture and inviting coastal
spaces spark a feeling of belonging, as if every corner was designed for shared
laughter, lingering conversations, and meaningful moments.
A Sense of Calm
At CaSoBe, calm isn’t just a mood, it’s the rhythm of daily life by the sea. Families arrive and instantly feel the shift: the noise fades, the mind settles, and the gentle soundtrack of waves takes over. Parents find quiet corners to breathe and unwind, while children experience a freedom that only open beaches can give. Morning strolls become slow and intentional, conversations feel unhurried, and even the simplest moments, like watching the tide roll in, turn into shared rituals of peace. This is where the world softens, and loved ones find space to simply be.
A Sense of Belonging
Thoughtfully
designed spaces make every guest, from toddlers to grandparents, feel at home.
CaSoBe’s architecture blends seamlessly with the natural landscape, creating an
environment where families move effortlessly from one experience to another.
It’s the kind of place where kids can explore safe, open areas while parents
relax under shaded loungers, and where multigenerational gatherings feel
natural, from bonding in beachfront cabanas to storytelling sessions under starlit
skies. Loved ones feel connected not just to each other, but to a community
shaped by warmth, openness, and coastal hospitality.
A Sense of Joy
Joy at CaSoBe comes in many forms: big, bright moments and small, unforgettable ones. Families gather around coastal cuisine that celebrates Calatagan’s flavors, from fresh seafood feasts to comforting Filipino favorites enjoyed with sea views. Kids laugh as they chase waves, couples sneak away for sunset dates, and grandparents savor quiet moments with their grandchildren building sandcastles. Every experience sparks delight: spontaneous photoshoots on the boardwalk, weekend markets showcasing local makers, or beach games that turn into family traditions. At CaSoBe, joy is effortless, abundant, and shared.
Here, connection flows naturally, with nature, with loved ones, and with oneself. The beach becomes a place where families rediscover each other without distractions: holding hands during long shoreline walks, sharing stories around bonfires, or celebrating milestones by the water. The textures of coastal living — warm sand, cool sea breeze, sunlit afternoons, become the backdrop of meaningful moments. Whether it’s reunions, bonding trips, or much-needed getaways, CaSoBe gives families a space to strengthen relationships and deepen the ties that matter most.
A Sense of Renewal
With every visit, CaSoBe awakens something new in its guests. The sea air brings clarity, the landscape inspires gratitude, and the unhurried pace refreshes the spirit. Families leave feeling lighter, recharged, and more connected than when they arrived. It’s a place where parents rediscover balance, kids rediscover wonder, and couples rediscover each other, making CaSoBe not just a destination, but a retreat for emotional renewal. Long after the trip ends, these moments stay with them, calling them back to the shore where renewal began.
