August is definitely the most-awaited month for RCD Group, and amidst the pandemic, the organization has prepared a simple yet meaningful celebration to commemorate this milestone. Businesses have been challenged and only the tough ones had made it through this huge adversity.
OPENING REMARKS
As Arch. Rey De Leon, VP and Asset Management Head of RCD Realty Marketing Corporation have stated
in his opening remarks, “Historically, RCD Group of Companies has gone through a lot of challenges
such as the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997, again in 2008 and many other business trials that the
company has to endure in its quest to financial success. RCD has successfully overcome these challenges
and that is why we thank the Almighty God that despite the pandemic making havoc in our lives
and the economy, we are very fortunate to be blessed an opportunity to be together and celebrate
our founding anniversary.”
RISE AS ONE
Indeed, these are exceptional times but because RCD Group of Companies has developed a culture of success
and winners among its members, the company has delivered exceptional accomplishment and that is in recognition
of its members and people, which they have themselves to congratulate for. With success and winning inculcated
in RCD’s culture, pandemic or non-pandemic, the corporation will always look forward in celebrating their
anniversary year after year.
This was then followed by an audio-visual presentation that depicts the current situation and challenges caused by
the global pandemic. This symbolizes RCD Group’s solidarity with the frontliners and local communities during this
tough period, which is shown through their continuous efforts in providing help and giving donations to certain

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Even with today’s crisis, RCD Land did not stop in providing its service and fulfilling the
dreams of the Filipino People. As Mr. Roland Delantar, President and CEO of RCD Group, stated
in his speech “We have sold 900 units since the start of pandemic crisis. This surprised me
because it is unexpected for people to purchase houses and lots when most are struggling to
stay at home for safety and survival. I admire you brokers and salespersons for being aggressive,
creative, and resourceful in your desire to stay productive even if this meant withstanding the
real threat of infection. You are heroes to your children, and I must congratulate you for your heroism.”

and threatened. Fortunately, in the case of RCD Land, we are very much alive and kicking. And with the light
seem to be visible at the end of the road, the organization is indeed keen to consolidate its resources to
come out even stronger in the coming year 2022.
