BEHIND every home is a story—one shaped by sacrifice, perseverance, and the quiet courage to keep dreaming despite life’s challenges. For many Filipino families, owning a home is not achieved overnight. It is built through years of hard work, putting family first, saving little by little, and holding on to the belief that life will get better.
Through its growing community of homeowners, P.A. Properties continues to witness these powerful transformations—stories that embody the journey from “Noon” to “Ngayon.”
From breadwinner to homeowner
Jaapar Muhajil, a unit owner at San Jose Residencias in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, spent much of his life putting others first. Coming from a large family of 16 siblings, with parents working as sidewalk vendors, Jaapar took on the responsibility of supporting his family early on.
After finishing his studies, he immediately worked to help provide for them, setting aside his own dreams—including owning a home.
In 2024, that long-awaited dream became reality when he successfully purchased his own condominium unit. With the assistance of P.A. Properties, his housing loan was approved in less than three months.
Today, Jaapar stands as a testament to perseverance and hope.
“Mahirap, pero ang bawat pawis at paghihirap ay magiging worth it din. Work hard for it. Dreams really do come true.”
Noon: Breadwinner prioritizing family over personal dreams
Ngayon: Proud homeowner with renewed hope for the future
From dreamers to homeowners
For Jorelyn and Jeff Molavin, homeowners at Nuvista San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, the dream of having a home began early in life.
Growing up in humble circumstances, they envisioned a future in a peaceful and secure community—a place with open spaces, fresh air, and room to raise a family.
Even before proposing, Jeff made a life-changing decision: he secured a home for their future.
Receiving the keys marked the beginning of a new chapter—one filled with love, growth, and shared aspirations.
“Okay lang magdahan-dahan at ma-delay ang pangarap.”
“Dati, ipinagdarasal lang. Ngayon, meron na.”
Noon: Dreaming of a better life and home
Ngayon: Building a future together in their own home
Building dreams together
For Daylene and Rommel Gonzalvo, homeowners at Nuvista Lipa, owning a home meant more than just having a roof over their heads—it meant security and peace of mind.
Daylene grew up in a modest home made of light materials, constantly vulnerable to typhoons. With limited resources, finishing her education was already a challenge she overcame with determination and support from relatives.
When she married Rommel, they shared one goal: to build a better life and eventually own a home.
In 2022, through hard work and teamwork, they achieved that dream.
Today, they no longer live in fear during storms. Instead, they continue to improve their home—brick by brick, dream by dream.
Noon: Fragile home, uncertainty during typhoons, daily struggles
Ngayon: Safe, secure home and a steadily improving life
More than a house, it’s a life changed
These stories reflect a deeper truth—homeownership is more than a financial milestone. It is a life-changing achievement that strengthens families, restores dignity, and inspires hope for the future.
From breadwinners and young couples to families who started with very little, each journey is proof that with determination, patience, and hard work, dreams can become reality.
