Suntrust Opens a New Chapter in Affordable Homeownership in Negros

TALISAY CITY, NEGROS OCCIDENTAL, 21 MARCH 2026—Suntrust Properties, Inc., a Megaworld subsidiary, marks another major milestone in Negros Occidental with the Groundbreaking Ceremony of its newest residential development, La Sonrisa. The event has gathered esteemed Suntrust Executives, employees, investors, and future homeowners in celebration of the company’s continued expansion in the region.

Following the success of The Fountain Grove in Bacolod and La Riviera in Cadiz, the event also underscored Suntrust’s ongoing expansion and growing presence in the region.

The Ideal Community in the South

La Sonrisa’s modern-inspired development introduces a new and refreshing lifestyle for every Negrense alike. Spanning 15 hectares, the community will feature four distinct house models designed to meet the varying lifestyle needs of its residents:

• Enya - Bungalow Duplex
• Kyra - Two-Storey Duplex
• Gaia - Bungalow Single Attached
• Ana - Two-Storey Attached

Beyond its home options, the development also offers its future residents community amenities that aim to enhance their quality of life.

“La Sonrisa reflects Suntrust’s commitment to providing quality homes that remain within reach of hardworking Filipino families,” says Suntrust President Atty. Harrison M. Paltongan. “Through developments like this, we aim to create communities where residents can build their futures in a safe, vibrant, and well-connected environment.”

With accessible pricing, La Sonrisa bridges the gap between homeownership and affordability to buyers, opening new opportunities to Filipinos to start a new chapter in a lasting and secure home.



Opportunities Within Reach

Located within Megaworld’s new township development, The Sugartown, La Sonrisa offers modern conveniences within easy reach. Additionally, its location strategically places the community near key destinations such as the Bacolod Silay International Airport, Talisay City Hall, Northill Gateway, and The Ruins.

In recent years, Negros Occidental has steadily emerged as a contending choice for investments. With ongoing infrastructure improvements, a strengthening regional economy, and the rise of master-planned communities, Negros is positioning itself as one of the most promising real estate markets outside Metro Manila.

“Negros continues to demonstrate strong potential as a residential and investment destination,” Atty. Paltongan added. “Through La Sonrisa, we hope to contribute to the province’s progress while giving families the opportunity to own homes in a thriving and future-ready community.”



With its promising location, affordable home options, and integration within a growing township, La Sonrisa is poised to become the ideal home to build lasting memories in Negros.
