Our Story

The owners were very excited to move to the Philippines and start a small business on the island of Siargao, one of the up and coming beautiful islands of the Philippines. They felt called by God to the country for a purpose they did not know or understand, but on the way from the airport they suddenly realized why they felt called and their plans changed. "The poverty and those affected by it was so prominent, we saw the faces of our own children in the children living in the streets, and we saw ourselves. That could be any of us. At that moment, something told us our business idea was too small and we needed to dream big!" They explained.

At first they thought about a one-of-a-kind luxury resort to attract tourists and create awareness about the situation. They were inspired by an Indonesian hotel that had programs to assist the less fortunate. So, just short weeks after moving to the Philippines, the owners started their search for their Filipino paradise. When conducting the research, something was guiding them to the island of Palawan. And after months of research, travelling all over Palawan’s beautiful islands and beaches, and some challenges and lessons later, they determined Puerto Princesa- The City of the Living God, was home.

They found the property for their first project in Puerto Princesa (although this was not exactly the type of property they had in mind since it is on a cliff side, had no electricity or running water, only a beautiful landscape) they grew in love with the place and its community. "When we set foot at the site, we felt what we can only explain as God's presence (immense peace and joy). Inspired by the land and its surroundings, it naturally came to us to develop a condo resort and residences project in the property and form a corporation to develop other projects and continue helping the Filipino community", they said. After this experience, they started feeling how God was drawing them closer to Him by guiding them in their own development for this purpose. And things just started coming together, marking the beginning of Cañaveral Development Corporation- Development With A Purpose.
