One of the posh and luxurious villages in Manila. Nicknamed as the Philippines' "Beverly Hills", it is the home of the richest and biggest names in business, politics and showbusiness. It is termed as the "New Money" while the more posh and exclusive village of Forbes Park and Dasmarinas in Makati are termed as the "Old Money". Forbes Park, Dasmarinas and Ayala-Alabang host the largest concentration of the country's most elegant, luxurious and expensive estates, mansions and houses.

Alabang originated in 1972, when the Madrigal family offered its 4.2 square kilometers of land for sale to the Ayala Corporation. Instead of making the purchase, the Ayala Corporation went into a joint real estate development venture with the Madrigal family.

The Madrigal family agreed in principle to Ayala’s proposal in 1975 and actual work on the area started in 1976. Buyers of land started pouring in. Number of buyers exceeded the number of lots for sale and more parcels of land had to be bought from various owners in the adjacent areas.

Drawing on its many years of experience in real estate development, Ayala Corporation developed the village phase by phase. Phase 1 of the New Alabang Village was offered for sale to the public in 1977. Regardless of lot size, buyers have to abide strictly to Ayala’s standards and restriction. The first three residents of the village were Mr. & Mr. Joselito Santos, Mr. & Mrs. Jose Escalante, and Mr. Howard Newhard.

  • Where all the money of the Philippines go and stay. HAHAHAHHA
  • Home of the Filipino elite. Home of the notorious conyo kids of the Philippines (De La Salle Zobel, PAREF Woodrose). Home of the retired foreigners. Temporary home of the maids, drivers, and gardeners... until their very wealthy (and finicky) employer decides to fire them.
