"I’ve been with Ortigas Land for a total of 11 years already (3 years as project hire and 8 years as direct hire). Prior to joining Ortigas Land, I worked the night shift for different BPO companies for 5 years. When I decided to change my working schedule, an opportunity came when my architect sister who was then working for a 3rd party Consultant in Ortigas Land referred me to this company as Admin Assistant of Construction Management Department (CMD). It was really a different environment for me. As years passes, I was able to learn and understand the processes and technical terms in construction.
One of the memorable experiences I had was when my former boss entrusted me with the finalization of our department’s process flow. I was able to coordinate and collaborate with the Business Process Management Department which allowed its use department wide. Aside from this, I was able to witness significant milestones of our projects - from the groundbreaking ceremony of Maple at Verdant, CV Bridge, Galleon Offices, Olin to the topping off ceremony of the Residences at the Galleon. It was really proud moment for me, being part of the construction of these projects.
For me, “One Heritage” means one principle and that is having malasakit in everything that you do. I see this in each member of our team doing their best and working hard to deliver high-quality projects on schedule so Ortigas Land can continuously build great places for life. So that our future generations will have “One Tomorrow” which is living in a safe place, being more productive and enjoying every space in our community.
As I look back, I realize Ortigas Land is the company where I have stayed the longest. One reason is the benefits we receive, but even more important is the joy I feel every day doing my job as a Senior Project Coordinator. Now that Ortigas Land is celebrating its 95th year, I am proud to be part of it and excited to witness even more project milestones in the future."
