Community Milestone: Siena Park Residences grows into one big family

One of Jinggay's most memorable experiences living in Siena Park Residences was when residents came out of their balconies to show their appreciation to their community frontliners at the height of the pandemic in April last year.

So parang we're one big family."(Photo courtesy of Mr. Xandrino Mangunay)

Just by their first glimpse of the property, pioneer homeowners of Siena Park Residences in Parañaque City already foresaw something special about the condominium community when it opened its doors to residents in October 2012.

Pioneer residents, Mr. Jack Aguilar and Ms. Jinggay Sancianco, can still vividly recall the first time they saw their home almost a decade ago.

"When I moved in here, the property wasn't fully finished yet. I think, there were only three buildings during that time but we immediately noticed how beautiful the property is," said Jack who moved into the property in April 2013.

"I can compare it to a resort hotel or a summer resort which is what my family loves going to. We love to go to the beaches every summer or when we have some celebrations so that's something that we immediately noticed," he fondly recalled.

Jinggay, on other hand, noticed the unique glow Siena Park Residences radiated, which eventually convinced her to spend her retirement pay on a unit.

"The first time I saw Siena Park, what struck me is, it's very bright. Maaliwalas talaga. Parang it has an openness feel. Maganda ang aura. I fell in love right away with Siena Park," said Jinggay who has lived in the property since September 2014.

Siena Park Residences always had a big community celebration during Christmas season before the pandemic. Last year, residents kept the Holiday spirit alive in their community by holding a community bazaar and online caroling. (This photo was taken before the pandemic)

Close-knit community

This same environment, Jinggay said, seemingly makes residents open up to each other and treat every member of the community as fami
