DAVAO CITY — Damosa Land, a premier real estate and agro-industrial developer in Mindanao, continues to reinforce its role as a community builder by investing in education-focused initiatives that uplift young Filipinos and support inclusive regional growth.
These efforts complement Damosa Land’s continued expansion across the Davao Region, supporting its goal of building communities that offer not only homes and workspaces but also access to education, wellness, and opportunity. From championing youth sports and higher learning to creating safer school environments, the company aims to shape not just spaces, but lives.
This vision is best captured by Ricardo “Cary” Lagdameo, President of Damosa Land, who said: “At Damosa Land, we believe that meaningful progress goes beyond real estate. It’s about creating conditions where communities, and especially the next generation, can thrive. This is part of our holistic approach to township building where we don’t just develop properties, but create environments that nurture learning, growth, and opportunity. Projects like these reflect our deeper commitment to shaping communities in a way that uplifts lives and supports long-term, inclusive progress.”
Empowering Youth Through Education and Sports
Now in its second year of active participation, Damosa Land has once again partnered with Adamson University and the Don Antonio O. Floirendo, Sr. Foundation, Inc. (AOF Foundation) to support the Adamson University Men’s Football Scholarship Program. This year, nearly 200 senior high school students from across Mindanao participated in the regional try-outs, resulting in seven new scholars who will enter Adamson University as full scholars this school year.
Last year, the program produced four pioneering scholars who are now in their second year of college.
The initiative reflects the shared commitment of all partners to empower the youth through education and sports development, an opportunity that not only hones athletic talent but also opens doors to a university education for promising student-athletes in the region. By investing in programs like these, Damosa Land continues to champion sports as a meaningful driver of inclusion, education, and long-term personal growth.
Advancing Agriculture and Environmental Education
Further strengthening its investment in education, Damosa Land also plays a key role in the development of the University of the Philippines Professional School for Agriculture and the Environment (UP PSAE) inside Agriya in Panabo City. Once completed, UP PSAE will offer graduate and postgraduate programs in agriculture and environmental studies, helping elevate the region’s capabilities in these critical sectors.
Damosa Land supports this initiative by donating the land where the campus will rise and funding the construction of its first building—demonstrating its deep belief that agriculture and sustainability are not only integral to Mindanao’s growth, but essential to securing its future.
These education-focused efforts also complement the vision behind Damosa Land’s townships, such as Agriya and Bridgeport, where innovation, sustainability, and quality of life come together to build vibrant, future-ready communities.
Creating Safer Learning Environments
Among its latest community initiatives is the construction of a perimeter fence for the Luis P. Rodriguez Integrated School in Barangay Caliclic, Island Garden City of Samal. Undertaken in line with the Department of Education’s Brigada Eskwela 2025, the project is expected to benefit 485 students by providing a more secure and conducive environment for learning.
In collaboration with the Department of Education, this initiative underscores the value of strong public-private partnerships in addressing infrastructure needs in local schools. By working closely with DepEd, Damosa Land reinforces the vital role that private sector support plays in enhancing the quality and safety of learning environments across the region.
As Damosa Land marks over two decades of shaping vibrant communities and sustainable developments across the region, its mission remains anchored on the belief that true progress is community-led and future-focused.
“Davao is more than just a hub for growth, it’s home. And it’s our responsibility as a homegrown developer to help shape not just the skyline, but the future of the people who live here,” Lagdameo emphasized.
