BRIA Homes, one of the Philippines’ largest mass housing developers and a subsidiary of GOLDEN MV Holdings, Inc., is all about accessibility. With their formula “Affordability + Quality = A Beautiful BRIA Home for Every Filipino,” BRIA aims to live up to their corporate branding of “Ang Pambansang Pabahay ng Pilipinas.”
The company has more than 50 properties all over the Philippines, with the latest developments located in Biñan, Laguna; Montalban and Pililla in Rizal; General Trias, Cavite; Naga, Camarines Sur; Danao, Cebu; Cagayan de Oro City; and Mako, General Santos.
Other BRIA locations include Alaminos, Pangasinan; Balayan, Batangas; Calbayog City, Samar; Davao City, Davao Del Sur; Hermosa, Bataan; Paniqui, Tarlac; Ormoc, Leyte; Plaridel, Bulacan; San Fernando, Pampanga; and Valencia, Bukidnon.
These strategic locations ensure that BRIA homeowners will always have easy access to hospitals, schools, malls, and other commercial establishments. The result and ultimate goal is comfort and convenience.
Aside from accessibility, BRIA Homes is also committed to ensuring the good health and safety of their current and future homeowners. As a response to the continued spread of COVID-19, the housing developer embarked on an aggressive digitalization campaign in the past year. In particular, they beefed up their customer service team. It is now available online 24/7 across the country to answer inquiries sent through digital channels.
Potential homeowners can also visit the BRIA Homes website at www.bria.com.ph and click the “Virtual Tours” button to digital renderings of different housing units. With digital 360-degree property viewings, instead of the usual open house tours, there’s no need to worry about potential COVID exposure. Currently, customers can view house models Alecza, Bettina, Elena, and Elyana. In addition to the houses, BRIA also offers views of the entrances and amenities like basketball courts and playgrounds.
Meanwhile, for existing homeowners, BRIA Homes has made it easier for them to make monthly payments. In particular, they have opened online portals and partnered with digital payment solutions so that there’s no need to visit BRIA Homes offices for their amortizations and other fees.
One of the ways BRIA Homes homeowners can pay their bills is through AllEasy, an alternative payment platform under the Villar Group of Companies. Thus, aside from paying BRIA Homes bills, consumers can also use AllEasy to conduct transactions in AllHome, AllDay Supermarket, and CoffeeProject.
Homeowners can also opt to pay online through BRIA’s banking partners. They include AllBank, BDO, Metrobank, PNB, RCBC, Security Bank, and Union Bank.
Finally, BRIA Homes has also inked deals with e-wallets like Maya. As one of the leading e-wallets in the Philippines, Maya offers not just convenient but also safe and secure ways to conduct various financial transactions. These include money transfers to and from banks, mobile load purchases, as well as various bills payments.
For bills payments, Maya has partnerships with hundreds of companies. These include electricity, telecoms, and water utilities, as well as healthcare and insurance providers. The recent inclusion of BRIA Homes among Maya’s billers further increases the app’s convenience.
A physical Maya VISA card is also available. This can be used like a prepaid payment card in any establishment that accepts credit and debit cards transactions. The card can also be used to withdraw money from ATMs just in case the customer needs cash on hand. There’s also the Maya virtual prepaid card, which can be used to shop online, pay monthly loan amortizations, and more.
To start using Maya, consumers can download the app for free from the App Store, Google Play, and the Huawei AppGallery. An active mobile number is needed to register, while a valid ID is needed to upgrade an account and unlock more features.
According to Red Rosales, president of BRIA Homes, providing reliable digital services is part of their efforts to “bring peace of mind and comfort to [their] residents in these difficult times.” Rosales also said that the events of 2020 have taught BRIA Homes how to better adapt to changes.
Beyond providing digital channels for making payments and availing services, BRIA Homes also does its due diligence in keeping all their properties clean and disinfected. This is to further protect their residents and homeowners from exposure to the virus. There are also eco-friendly green spaces throughout all BRIA properties, where people can enjoy fresh air as they continue to practice physical distancing.
