“The event marked a significant milestone in the project’s development, highlighting the use of the Precast Japanese System, an advanced construction technology introduced by SMCC Philippines.

Properties Hankyu Hansin Corp said in an email.
Atty. Marianne Reyna Lina-Cruz, President and CEO of P.A. Properties, emphasized the importance of innovation and collaboration in community development. She noted that the installation ceremony symbolizes not only engineering progress but also the shared vision of building quality homes that uplift Filipino families.
Mr. Yoshiaki Sakaguchi, General Manager of SMCC Philippines, Inc., underscored the efficiency and durability of the precast system, citing its advantages such as timely project delivery, consistent quality, enhanced safety, and long-term structural integrity.
The installation, witnessed by partners, stakeholders, engineers, and guests, showcased the four phases of the precast process: panel preparation and safety checks, crane lifting and positioning, alignment and securing, and final inspection with quality assurance.
On the other hand, Mr. Rei Yamasaki, representative of Hankyu Hanshin Properties Corp., reaffirmed the company’s commitment to excellence and to supporting developments that strengthen communities.
Also part of the activity is the fellowship and networking sessions, highlighting the collective dedication of all partners to deliver homes that meet the highest standards of quality, sustainability, and efficiency.
