As the Philippines plays host to this year’s Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction , leading property developer SM Development Corporation reaffirms its commitment to building communities that prioritize safety, resilience, and sustainability. With the Philippines being one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world, SMDC has made disaster preparedness and resilience at the core of its design and construction philosophy.
“Disaster resilience should not just be an add-on — it’s a necessity,” said Jessica Sy, VP and Head of Design, Innovation and Strategy. “We are proud to take a leadership role in designing communities that can withstand the unique environmental challenges of our country. By integrating disaster-resilient features and fostering a culture of preparedness, we ensure that our residents can feel safe and secure in their homes, no matter what challenges arise.
