This marketing pro gets more than she expected: Community Internet in her dream condo

A marketing expert in beauty and lifestyle brands, Ira Nopuente only moved into the Fairlane Residences in January 2024, but the place already feels like it was meant to be her home all along.  

Located on West Capitol Drive in Pasig City, the DMCI Homes development offers easy access to Makati, Bonifacio Global City, and Ortigas Center—perfect for Ira’s dynamic lifestyle.  

For Ira, DMCI Homes condos have always been the top choice. 

“Even before, even when I was younger, no’ng hindi pa ako nag-iisip na I would eventually move out of our family home, priority ko na talaga to look at DMCI Homes,” Ira shares. 

Having seen properties owned by her friends, she was confident that DMCI Homes projects would meet her standards. “Pinili ko ang DMCI Homes kasi even before, I knew what the property could offer. And when, finally, the opportunity came in, eto na, go na.” 

Community Internet: A Pleasant Surprise 

While Ira knew about DMCI Homes’ reputation for quality, one feature she didn’t expect was the Community Internet, a service available in new DMCI Homes condos. 

As someone who’s always online—whether for work or leisure—the Community Internet has been a major convenience. “It’s my first time experiencing the Community Internet in a condo,” Ira says. “I mean, I’ve never heard of that service before. So, when I found out na mayroon dito sa Fairlane Residences, I was curious, ‘Oh, is it really going to be helpful?’” 

The answer? A resounding yes. 

“I have my personal subscription, and I have the Community Internet. So, I am very assured that whatever happens, I'll stay connected at work. I'm the type of person who is chronically online, so I browse every time. Sa akin, pag may kaunting glitch, I really get frustrated, but thankfully, I have that benefit of having Community Internet,” she adds. 

Ira has even relied on the Community Internet for crucial moments. “Wala naman naging problem, actually. So, I really didn't have to get to that point that I have to ask help from me kasi wala naman problem. Like, ang nangyari pa nga noon hindi reliable ‘yong isang Internet ko so I just relied on the Community Internet. So, nakakatulong talaga sya pag may important meeting like with Mancom. Like, Lord, please naman tapos buti naman nag-work siya. Okay naman results ng meeting na ‘yun kasi nakapag-present ako ng maayos.” 

She also takes pride in how dependable the service is. “I would say na mayabang ako: I would really tell my friends na ‘Ah, kami meron kaming Community Internet.’ Kahit bumaba ako sa basement—because usually, it's going to be difficult to get a signal when you're in the basement—I still have an internet connection. So kunwari I have online orders, or deliveries, or whoever wants to contact me, mare-reach pa rin nila ako.” 

A Home Designed for Comfort 

As a homebody, Ira loves how the spacious hallways and well-ventilated units at Fairlane Residences contribute to her mental well-being. “It’s really good for my mental health,” she explains. “Pagbukas ko ng pinto, it’s not just a wall of doors. I love the open spaces and well-ventilated kasi siya.” 

She also appreciates how DMCI Homes’ pet-friendly environment allows her to plan for a future with a furry friend. “I love dogs, and I love cats,” she says. “I’m getting ready to welcome a dog into our home.” 

Despite transitioning from a house with a yard to condo living, Ira feels at ease. “Galing ako sa bahay, so sanay ako na may outdoors, may bakuran,” she says. “With this, it doesn’t feel like something really changed kasi nga madaming open spaces, may mga halaman. For me, it’s really important to have plants not just in the lobby, but in the hallway. It feels like a real home.” 

Ira is convinced that choosing Fairlane Residences was one of the best decisions she’s ever made. With reliable internet connection, open spaces, and a community that feels like home, her dream condo has exceeded her expectations in every way.
