A Milestone Worth Celebrating Camella representatives receive the Best Housing Developer in Visayas and Mindanao award at the Dot Property and Lamudi Philippines Real Estate Awards 2026.

The distinction places national scale beside regional strength. For nearly five decades, Camella has expanded across the archipelago by building where Filipino families decide to reside, pursue livelihoods, raise children, and prepare property assets for succeeding generations. In Visayas and Mindanao, the story has unfolded alongside shifting cities, supporting economies, infrastructure expansion, and enduring cultural identities.

Recognized for Regional Excellence Camella earns the distinction of Best Housing Developer in Visayas and Mindanao, affirming its longstanding presence across the two island groups.

At the heart of Filipino life

Housing in the Philippines holds vital economic and social significance, anchoring mobile families and overseas workers. This impact is profound in the Visayas and Mindanao, where the 2024 PSA Census placed their combined population at over 48.56 million—accounting for more than 43 percent of the national total of 112.73 million. Separately, Visayas has approximately 21.03 million residents, while Mindanao has about 27.53 million. Representing a complex mix of nuclear, extended, and multigenerational households with diverse spatial needs, these millions share a deeply interwoven cultural aspiration: securing a stable, lasting address to build their family legacy.

Camella Forecasts Multigenerational Living as the Next Frontier in Philippine Real Estate

Leave a comment

The new Camella home series honors tradition while embracing innovation, creating living spaces that stand as legacies: adaptable, inclusive, and attuned to the evolving lives of the Filipino who will call them their own.

Multigenerational living—where grandparents, parents, children, and extended relatives reside within a single household—has long been a hallmark of the Filipino way of life. Deeply rooted in the spirit of bayanihan, the collective sense of unit, it embodies a social landscape where emotional bonds, practical interdependence, and cultural continuity are valued in equal measure. Historically prevalent in ancestral homes, this living arrangement has become increasingly common in urban and suburban contexts, driven by economic realities, demographic shifts, and shifting real estate market dynamics.

Why Do Filipino Families Choose Multi-Generational Living

As family structures diversify, Camella expands its residential portfolio with house models tailored to every life stage.

Getting your PSA certificate online has never been easier. Through PSAHelpline.ph, you can now order PSA birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, CENOMAR, or CENODEATH online and choose how you want it delivered: straight to your home or ready for pick-up at one of 51 Robinsons Department Store branches nationwide.

PSAHelpline.ph is an authorized partner of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) that offers an online facility for requesting civil registry documents including PSA birth, marriage, death certificates, CENOMAR, and CENODEATH. Applicants may choose PSA delivery or pick-up at partner outlets such as Robinsons Department Store, ensuring safe and efficient access to PSA certificates nationwide.

With the Robinsons Department Store pick-up feature, you can collect your PSA documents at select department stores located in major cities and provinces across the country.

Why Choose the Robinsons Pick-Up Option?

For many Filipinos, waiting for courier delivery can be challenging especially for those with unpredictable work hours, frequent travel, or shared residences. The Robinsons Department Store pick-up option offers a practical solution:

  • Flexible collection hours. Pick up your certificate at your convenience. Robinsons Department Store business centers are open during mall hours, typically from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., giving you ample time to drop by after work or errands.
  • Convenient locations. With 51 branches across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, there is likely an RDS branch near your home or workplace.
  • Same secure process. Just like home PSA delivery, each release requires valid ID verification to ensure the certificate goes only to the rightful owner.
  • More practical and flexible. Picking up your certificate at Robinsons Department Store is also more economical than waiting for door-to-door delivery. Since PSAHelpline.ph only releases certificates directly to the owner or authorized requester, couriers cannot leave them with anyone else, not even with an authorization letter. With the pick-up option, you avoid the risk of missed deliveries and can simply claim your document when it’s convenient for you.

If you would rather not wait for a courier or risk a missed delivery, the Robinsons pick-up option lets you control when and where you receive your PSA certificate online order.
