Il Corso and Cebu IT Park Now Accessible via CBRT in Under 40 Minutes

“The strength of a city lies in how well it connects people to opportunity. Initiatives that improve access between communities and economic centers help support local progress and create environments where people can live, work, and thrive.” ~Tristan Las Marias, President and CEO of Filinvest Land

A CBRT bus stands ready for commuters at the Il Corso stop in Cebu’s South Road Properties.

Filinvest Land, Inc. (FLI) applauded the launch of the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) service, which now provides direct access to Il Corso at the South Road Properties (SRP) and Cebu IT Park, as a major step in strengthening Cebu's transportation infrastructure. The system is expected to serve tens of thousands of people daily, improving mobility and expanding community access to key commercial and employment regions.

When the CBRT service began operating on March 13, Cebu's efforts to modernize its public transportation system hit a significant turning point. The first route goes from Il Corso at the South Road Properties to Cebu IT Park via Natalio Bacalso Avenue, Osmeña Boulevard, and N, Cebu City's primary north-south thoroughfare. Escario in the street. The system, which is intended to run at an average speed of around 25 kilometers per hour, allows commuters to go between the SRP and Cebu IT Park in about 35 to 40 minutes compared to traditional road-based transit along the same corridor.

For residents in City di Mare, visitors to Il Corso, tenant laborers, and nearby villages in Talisay, the new system provides a direct and efficient route to Cebu City's major business and commercial sectors. This improved access improves the pool of workers available to businesses, encourages workforce mobility, and enables more people to access job opportunities across significant economic hubs, all of which contribute to a more dynamic and interconnected urban economy.

Filinvest Land announced its support for the project in collaboration with the Cebu City Government, recognizing that improved transportation infrastructure is critical to building stronger community ties and stimulating regional economic activity.

The southern entrance of the route is home to Filinvest Land's waterfront retail development, Il Corso, at the South Road Properties. Originally designed as an outdoor lifestyle destination along Cebu's coastline, Il Corso has evolved into a gathering place for both locals and visitors, offering a range of waterfront, gastronomic, and recreational experiences.

SM Coastal Cleanups Go Beyond Trash, Teach Communities to Care

In celebration of World Water Day, SM Supermalls, through its corporate social responsibility arm, SM Cares, organized coastal cleanup activities across six locations with seven participating malls across nationwide, reinforcing its long-term commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable waste management in its most-loved malls.

This year’s coastal cleanup emphasized enhanced waste segregation education to deepen understanding among volunteers and communities on proper sorting, recycling, and disposal of collected waste. It also underscored that everyday actions—from responsible waste disposal to recycling—play a critical role in protecting marine ecosystems. 

The coastal cleanup activities took place across SM City La Union, SM City Urdaneta Central, SM City Tanza, SM City Daet, SM City Consolacion, SM Seaside City Cebu, and SM J Mall, bringing together communities in a shared effort to protect local coastal environments and divert waste away from the ocean. 

During the cleanups, collected waste was carefully sorted and categorized, allowing participants to see firsthand the types of materials commonly found in coastal areas—from plastic packaging and beverage containers to other discarded items that threaten marine life and coastal habitats. 

By focusing on waste analysis and segregation, raised awareness on the impact of improperly managed waste and encouraged Filipinos to adopt more responsible environmental practices in their daily lives.

These coastal cleanup activities form part of SM Supermalls’ broader environmental sustainability programs, aligned with the SM Green Movement and the company’s Waste-Free Future campaign. 

“Protecting our coastal and marine environments requires a more proactive, end-to-end approach with the cleanups starting with education, deepening awareness, and sustaining collective action. 

“By helping communities understand the importance of proper waste segregation and responsible waste management, we hope to inspire long-term behavioral change that benefits both people and the planet.” ~Engr. Liza Silerio, Vice President for Corporate Compliance and Program Director for Environment and Sustainability of SM Supermalls

The initiative also highlights the spirit of bayanihan, bringing together mall communities, environmental partners, and local stakeholders in a shared effort to care for the environment.

As SM Cares continues to strengthen its sustainability programs throughout the year, the public is encouraged to participate in upcoming environmental initiatives, including World Oceans Day Cleanup Drives in June, International Coastal Cleanup activities in September, and National Environmental Awareness Month initiatives in November.

Through sustained efforts like these, SM Cares continues to empower communities to take part in protecting the environment—all for Filipinos, and all for the planet.
