Yes, TWO. DAYS. Then, like a rocket, total sales crossed **₱5 billion** within two weeks. That’s **823 units sold**, representing nearly 90% of everything available. Talk about  hot property!  

But why the hype? Well, it’s not just a set of towers… it’s a community with a future. Being a **Mixed-Use Premier University Township**, Manresa Town blends residential, educational, and commercial spaces in one vibrant ecosystem.
