Lumina Homes, a Pathway to Opportunities for OFWs

Written by: Angelica Gondra

Our Overseas Filipino Workers or OFWs are not just famous for their perseverance and great determination, but also for their practicality, especially in choosing their dream house and lot. They consider a lot of factors including the community’s location, accessibility, amenities, and facilities that they and their family can fully utilize and enjoy. And the most important thing to consider is the safety and security of the property since this will make their heart at ease even they are miles apart from home.

As part of recognizing our OFW's hard work and commitment to providing a better life for their families, Lumina Homes, the country's fastest-growing mass housing developer that started in 2012, launched affordable house and lot for sale that have the five factors in choosing a home for every Juan.

Aside from its affordable house and lot packages ranging from Php500, 000 to Php 1.7 million, Lumina projects are also built in the most accessible locations close to major thoroughfares, transport hubs, schools, hospitals, business areas, and leisure centers. Lumina community also comes with amenities that include community halls, basketball courts, mini gardens and playgrounds, and space for lease for future commercial areas.

Through its flexible payment options, Lumina Homes fulfills the hope of every Overseas Filipino Workers in weaving dreams even from afar! There are also reputable real estate dealers like Vista Land International that helps hardworking OFWs to fulfill the home of their dreams to reality.

The reason why many of our kababayans decided to work abroad is due to the long-term advantages that they could generate from it and eventually, be beneficial for their families. Being an OFW is more than just the benefit of a higher salary but also the perks of having a greater sense of cultural awareness that could help them out to widen their professional network and increase their work credibility. It is more than just financial fulfillment but also an asset for their personal growth.

But along with these merits are the misconceptions of most Filipinos about working overseas. They thought that being an OFW “always” means better income, more savings, a better life, and the quickest way to riches. Little do they know about the sacrifices our OFWs have to deal with, every single day, just to give a better life and a better home for their families.

Imagine their extreme culture shock the first time they landed in a foreign country. The culture, the roads, the people, the tradition, and sometimes, even the time is completely different from their home country. How could we even picture out their hardships as they try to learn a foreign language and culture just to cope up with the unfamiliar environment? Think about their long cold night's longing for warmth and comfort from their loved ones who are a million miles away from them. 

And then, comes the pandemic. Some of our kababayans were forced to go back home. Most of the companies and establishments they used to work for got affected and were soon constrained to close their businesses due to the nationwide lockdown because of the wide-spread of COVID-19 in every part of the world.

Lumina Homes, more than just an affordable house and lot for OFWS.

So, it is such alleviating news that Lumina Homes continues building, not just affordable house and lot packages for sale, but also fresh avenues to offer new career opportunities to every Juan. Lumina Homes can be a Lantern of Hope for OFWs, since they may become an accredited seller too. 

Dedicated to providing a decent abode for every Filipino family, Lumina Homes aims to tap more real estate brokers and agents to help assist in its mission. However, in light of the recent events, it is unable to hold gatherings like sales clinics and product knowledge seminars like it has used to. But with its mission in mind, it was able to launch “Lumina Online University” a web-based teaching platform that offers free sales courses on selling Lumina Homes.
