Landco Pacific Corporation evolves into Landco Lifestyle Ventures to redefine “Life on Vacation”
In the world of leisure and lifestyle real estate development in the country, a quiet but powerful transformation is underway. And at the center of it is a story of women whose vision, strategy, and compassion are carving out a new definition of premium living.
The evolution to Landco Lifestyle Ventures (LLV), is the next chapter of Landco Pacific Corporation, a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC), helmed by Mr. Manuel V. Pangilinan, Chairman.
Three exceptional women are shaping LLV’s transformation and bringing forth a refreshed philosophy of living: one that is deeply connected to nature, anchored in community, and rich in sensory meaning. Together, they are redefining what it means to live a “Life on Vacation.”
The tourism nation-builder
Chaye A. Cabal-Revilla
Executive Director; Chief Finance,
Risk & Sustainability Officer, MPIC
In the evolving landscape of Philippine business, leadership today is increasingly defined not only by financial stewardship but by the ability to support industries that contribute to the country’s long-term growth. For Chaye Cabal-Revilla, MPIC CFO this means guiding capital with discipline and foresight, ensuring investments create meaningful impact.
As the financial steward of one of the country’s leading infrastructure and investment holdings, Cabal-Revilla directs resources across sectors that underpin nation-building: energy utilities and power generation, water services, toll roads, healthcare and agriculture. More recently, her focus has expanded to tourism through LLV. Across Batangas, Baguio, and Davao, LLV develops resort estates designed not just as “Life on Vacation” experiences in these tourist destinations, but as catalysts for local employment, growth of SMEs, and thriving hospitality communities.
“Our responsibility goes beyond delivering financial results,” says Cabal-Revilla. “It’s about directing capital toward ventures that uplift communities, create opportunities, and strengthen industries that keep the country moving forward. Investing in tourism through LLV is pivotal to building a more inclusive and resilient future for our nation.”
As Women’s Month highlights women shaping industries across the country, Revilla’s leadership reflects how purposeful financial stewardship can turn investments into long-term value for both business and society.
The financial strategist
Maricris C. Aldover-Ysmael
Chief Finance Officer, Landco Lifestyle Ventures;
VP for Investor Relations and Data Protection Officer (DPO), MPIC
Where Cabal-Revilla shapes LLV’s purpose, Maricris C. Aldover-Ysmael ensures that the Company’s evolution is built on enduring value.
Her leadership strengthens LLV’s iconic portfolio from the beachfront expanses of Club Laiya and CaSoBe, to the emerging coastal gem of Costa Azalea in Davao and the iconic John Hay Hotels in Baguio. She ensures that developments like The Spinnaker, The Nautilus, and Terrazas de Punta Fuego deliver not only architectural excellence, but enduring multi-generational value.
For Aldover-Ysmael, LLV’s signature “Life on Vacation” philosophy is more than a brand promise, it is an investment framework. Calm becomes part of the value proposition as families rediscover space and serenity. Belonging grows through communities thoughtfully designed to welcome every generation. Joy emerges from shared experiences woven into the landscape. Connection deepens through architecture and hospitality that bring people together. And renewal becomes a lasting emotional dividend.
“Investment today should create legacies tomorrow. When our communities deliver lasting value—financial, emotional, and generational, we fulfill our purpose. That is the essence of premium living at Landco Lifestyle Ventures,” she says.
Her guidance reveals a deeper wisdom: real estate becomes truly premium when it enriches lives, not just portfolios.
The experience maker
Janine Mariel M. Huang
Head of Brand Experience & Hospitality Commercial,
Landco Lifestyle Ventures
If LLV were a novel, Janine Huang who has more than 10 years of hospitality experience in Shangri-la Hotels and Resorts, would be the storyteller. She’s the one who turns destinations into emotion, and properties into places families remember for a lifetime.
Her work brings LLV’s “Life on Vacation” vision to life from the moment guests arrive. She leads a unique hospitality portfolio that spans Crusoe Cabins, Cocoons, Camperisti, Cupola, Apollo, Chairman’s Cabin across Club Laiya, CaSobe and Costa Azalea, and the heritage warmth of John Hay Hotels. Each stay is infused with her signature touch: sensory, immersive, and deeply human.
For Huang, a destination becomes meaningful when all five senses are engaged. Calm unfolds in the rhythm of seaside mornings. Belonging grows the moment grandparents, parents, and children all feel at home. Joy surfaces through well-crafted cuisine, playful afternoons, and spontaneous laughter. Connection deepens during long shoreline walks or stories shared by a glowing bonfire. Renewal is felt when guests head home lighter, clearer, and more tightly bonded.
“The most memorable destinations stay with you in quiet ways, the taste of local cuisine, the warmth of the welcome, sunsets over the sea, or the cool embrace of pine-scented air. When guests leave carrying a feeling rather than just photographs, that’s when a place truly becomes part of their lives.,” she says.
Her leadership reflects a powerful truth: women in hospitality excel not just in service, but in creating emotional journeys that stay with people long after they leave.
The new era of landco lifestyle ventures
LLV blends the legacy of Landco with a future-forward vision: communities that go beyond structures to become landscapes of meaning.
In every LLV destination, life and leisure intertwine. Joy springs from vibrant experiences rooted in place and culture. Connection flows naturally between nature and loved ones. These qualities are not accidental, they are intentional. They are the result of women leaders shaping a company that believes real estate should enrich the soul as much as the bottom line.
A future powered by women, purpose, and possibility
At Landco Lifestyle Ventures, the future of leisure living is bright, bold, and beautifully human, because it is shaped by women who lead with purpose, design with empathy, and build with legacy in mind.
This Women’s Month, LLV honors the leaders who are crafting places where families rediscover wonder, where nature and community rise together, and where every visit feels like coming home to a life lived with calm, joy, connection, belonging, and renewal.
A true “Life on Vacation”—brought to life by women.
