ILOILO CITY, Philippines – SM Development Corporation (SMDC) strengthened its commitment to Jaro, Iloilo City through a landmark partnership with South Balibago Waterworks. This strategic collaboration guarantees a safe, reliable, and sustainable water supply for future residents of SMDC Glade Residences—further advancing SMDC’s vision of building thriving, worry-free communities.
The Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signing ceremony, held last, July 18, 2025, was graced by Cristina Isabelle Alejandro, President of South Balibago Waterworks, and City Councilor Nene Dela on behalf of Hon. Raisa S. Treñas Chu, Mayor of Iloilo City. The event highlighted the critical role of water as the “lifeline of homes and the foundation of health.”
“This partnership goes beyond business—it’s a meaningful commitment to uplift the lives of our future residents by securing a fundamental right,” said Grace Evangeline M. Sta. Ana, Executive Vice President of SMDC.
Set in the thriving district of Jaro, Glade Residences, a development launched last December 2021 and set for turnover by 1st quarter of 2026, is envisioned as a vibrant, green, and future-forward enclave where families can flourish. Spanning over 36,500 square meters, the master plan brings together 11 mid-rise buildings, abundant green spaces, and a suite of wellness-driven amenities. This is a home intentionally crafted to provide breathing room—not just physically, but emotionally and mentally. From landscaped jogging paths and tree-lined walkways to a linear park and open playgrounds, nature becomes part of your daily rhythm.
With dependable water access now secured, SMDC reinforces its vision: to turn every home into a haven and every neighborhood into a place where life flows with ease, certainty, and purpose. This partnership marks a bold step in SMDC’s mission to provide future-ready living for Filipino families—turning spaces into real homes and communities into places where life can truly flow.
