Whenever I hear the word Filinvest, what comes first on my mind is the slogan We build the Filipino dream. Think of it as just a cliche line but it’s a fact. Filinvest, the country’s leading real estate developer, realizes seven dreams every day. And they’re also about to realize Cebu’s dream city — a city by the sea, Citta di Mare.
