General
The transformation of the Philippines in the last few years from being an average economy to becoming one of the strongest in the world is exceptional.

Golden Haven was established in October 1984 by the MB Villar Group of Companies headed by our Chairman, Former Senate President Manuel B. VIllar Jr. Our first project, Golden Haven Las Pinas, a 14-hectare property devoted for the southern communities of Manila, nearby cities of Paranaque, Muntinlupa, Bacoor, Pasay, Taguig, and the more accessible municipalities of Laguna.
Golden Haven now has over 30 Memorial Parks and 34 developments all across the country. We grow at an average of 3 to 4 new projects per fiscal year. The company is geared for vast expansion with the vision of having a themed memorial park in every hometown, as every Filipino dreams of retiring and enjoying life’s peaceful dusk in one’s hometown.
Golden Haven is dedicated to create a lasting memory for every investor and client alike with its various concepts in memorial park establishments. Our internationally acclaimed themed parks are designed to communicate sophistication and class, unlike no other within the industry. The parks are also fully maintained by the Golden Haven Park Management to preserve the locations’ legacies as intended when they were acquired. Our products are also one of the most valuable investments a wise Filipino may consider – values of our Memorial Lots at Golden Haven appreciate exponentially, and as long as there is a need (and there always will be), values in their commerce and trade will always grow day by day.
