that waited decades to be activated.

THE CANDON ECOPARK

PROPHECY

Some lands are bought. Some lands are inherited. But some lands are chosen by destiny. The Candon EcoPark is not an accident. It is a 40-hectare prophetic canvas entrusted by ancestry, one that aligns perfectly with our soul’s mission. Everything led to this. The fire in Santiago did not end a chapter. It opened the path to Candon, the land that will become the Cultural Lighthouse of Ilocos Sur the Gateway of the North and the Global Embassy of Regenerative Filipino Identity.

This is not expansion.
This is ascension.

Sits on Ancestral Corridor

The energy line that runs from the Abra River to the mountains passes directly through the land.

Natural Topography

Mountains.
Forest.
Water.
Natural amphitheaters.
Sacred curves.
Organic elevations.
The landscape itself is a temple.

Protected from Coastal Extremes

Unlike Santiago’s shoreline,
Candon’s interior terrain allows for long-term, typhoon-resilient,
ecological architecture.

Can Hold the Scale of Prophecy

Santiago is your beginning.
Candon is your kingdom.
