THE GROVE: A New Rockwell Rises in Ortigas

 

 

Image004

 

 

It is my pleasure to invite you to be part of Rockwell Land's emerging community in Ortigas, The Grove by Rockwell. The Grove is Rockwell Land's first residential development beyond Makati. It is our newest resort-themed development, conveniently located along the C-5 corridor of properties, near Ortigas Avenue. The Grove is an exclusive 5.4-hectare, six residential tower development, consisting of a mix of Studios, One, Two and Three bedroom units.

 

The project is designed to have an element of mystery to it. The high entrance gate opens to a whole new level of experience, just like entering a tropical paradise. Coming home to The Grove will always feel like going away for the weekend.

The Grove offers lush gardens and broad landscapes, an oasis in the middle of the metropolis.

Just like the Rockwell Makati, The Grove is designed to be your very own exclusive, resort-like community. It begins with an arrival court, cool with the sound of the foundation and the shade of palm trees, just like in a tropical resort. At the heart of The Grove lies a central waterfall. The water meanders deeper through the property, flowing into multi-level pools under shaded trees. More than visually enhancing its surroundings, the landscape functions as pockets of relaxation, peace, and quiet, and entertainment for residents and their guests.

The Grove is a master-planned 5.4-hectare development with a 75-25 open space to building ratio.

It brings together contemporary landscaping and human-scale architecture, sophisticated high-rise lifestyle and wide open space. Spaces between towers are sensibly filled with pocket gardens, trellises, and water features. The Grove offers affordable luxury with the quality of the Rockwell Lifestyle.

It is not just having trees and gardens. It’s starting the idea of cosmopolitan green. 

The Grove boasts of six towers with podium parking amidst the 75% open space ratio, displaying an astonishing facade of greeneries never before seen in local residential developments.

It’s being earthbound in a tower, being close to nature, while having all your necessities around.

An arrival court with a majestic water feature welcomes residents and guests to The Grove. In each tower, unit owners are welcomed by an exclusive drop-off and residential porte cochere per tower. Imposing, double-height main lobbies are just the beginning.

 

 

Image013

 

It’s not just the psyche of languid living like Shinto gardens.

The Grove is a well structured architecture of space, botanics and living water like multi-level pools. Delight in our 40-meter lap pool, central and lounge pools, or even the kiddie pool. Pocket gardens, barbeque pavilions, multi-purpose gazebos, and a children’s playground border the pool decks creating a thriving Amenities Enclave. At the heart of these features is the party/cocktail island for all your events.

Green this time is not just an abundance of chlorophyll nor of wellness. But the cohesion of mind, body and soul.

Our bi-level indoor fitness center, multi-purpose indoor and outdoor courts, and soccer lawn will cater to your active lifestyle. For days when you prefer to sit back and relax, stroll through The Grove’s landscaped botanical gardens or spend some time in the Zen and meditation garden.

Prescribed rates designed to protect public

Dear Valued Clients:

This article validates Chartis' increase in premium rates since Chartis Philippines  duly complies with the prescribed rates by the Insurance Commission.  FYI.

  Insurers undercutting rates: Prescribed rates designed to protect public
By Ted P. Torres (The Philippine Star) Updated March 22, 2011 12:00 AM 

MANILA, Philippines - Despite all the warnings of earthquake, tsunami and other worsening natural catastrophes staring down on mankind, several insurance companies prefers fast gains over long term protection for the insuring public.
“There are non-life insurers that continue to nose dive the minimum prescribed rates in insuring homes and other properties against natural calamities, in violation to Insurance Commission ruling,” unnamed insurers told The STAR.
IC Circular 21-2010 states that undercutting rates would jeopardize the financial solvency of insurance companies and their ability to settle claims. It prescribes a minimum rate of 0.10 percent of the total insured amount for natural risks such as earthquakes, and another 0.05 percent for typhoon and flood. These rates are added to the basic property insurance that usually covers only fire and lightning.
By complying with the minimum rate, the insurer must charge a premium of at least P15,000 a year to insure a P10-million house and lot against typhoon, flood and earthquakes.
However, several non-life insurance companies have dropped their minimum rate to 0.7 percent.
That is not only a violation of the IC ruling, but also against the memorandum of agreement signed by majority of the non-life insurance companies licensed by the Commission. The accord also formed a task force to monitor compliance of the minimum rate.
“The task force is not working. Insurers are still nose diving rates in the face of the Japan disaster,” complying insurers said. “There is still a problem of enforcement.”
They added that the IC must be stricter and firmer like the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP). “The time for leniency is over. Typhoon Ondoy and the recent Japan natural disasters should point to the inevitable,” they said.
In a recent Senate public hearing, Public Works Secretary Rogelio Singson said that the country would experience massive damages and loss of life in the event that an earthquake hits the country.
A recent World Bank study said that most of Metro Manila lies close to the tectonic fault lines, the same fault lines that caused the recent Japan tragedy.
The same report said that 90 percent of all earthquake fatalities worldwide since 1960, over 1.1 million people, have been Asians. The March 11 quake and tsunami in Japan only ups the stake.
Insurers are also asking the IC to ensure that all domestic and foreign insurers are following regulations regarding re-insurers.
Section 215 of the Code states that “no insurance company... whether foreign or domestic, shall retain any risk on any one subject of insurance, an amount exceeding 20 percent of its net worth”. In other words, one should reinsure (spread the risk) over his maximum retention.
“The accumulation of risks especially for earthquake, typhoon and flood, (otherwise known as catastrophic perils) that an insurer could take is controlled by the Commission. We are supposed to take out adequate reinsurance protection, computed as being equal to or in excess of five percent of the companies net retained insured values,” they added.
Violation of the regulation not only puts the insuring public at risk of not getting sufficient protection but it likewise makes insurers unable to meet claims.
An insured property should receive indemnification when it is damaged due to natural catastrophes. The insurance company should immediately indemnify the claimant then turn around and make claims to it re-insurer.
A re-insurer insures an insurance company since the size of insures life or property is usually bigger than what a single insurer covers. There is only one local re-insurer while the rest of the reputable re-insurers are foreign.
Insurers warned that in the March 11 disaster was not only natural perils but also damage to auto, property, marine, and human life.
“Claims must be immediately paid. Insurers must first pay all claims and later reimburse with their re-insurer. If they keep on undercutting rates, they may not be able to pay claims,” they said.
