Rosa and Calamba in Laguna, envisioned to be the Philippines s first eco-community development. 2) PROJECT CONCEPT NUVALI integrates a mix of land uses which is built to support and sustain itself today and in the future. A burgeoning eco-community, where residential, businesses, educational, recreational and institutional facilities are made available.
