A life fulfilled is a life worth planning for; thus, surveying for the right memorial plans has become common practice for those who are looking for a dignified resting place.
True Vine Garden Columbary recently forged an alliance with one of Cebu’s well-known cooperatives, Central Visayas Government Employees Multi-Purpose Cooperative (CVGEMC). On May 24, 2025, these two businesses held a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signing ceremony at the Amber Hotel to formally officiate the partnership.
With the aim to provide CVGEMC members with exclusive pricing on investments in the True Vine Columbary, this landmark partnership is a testament to the cooperative’s shared advocacy to honor the legacies of departed loved ones while promoting sustainable memorial options in Cebu’s rapidly urbanizing landscape.
Present at the signing ceremony were Eunoco Arellano, the chairman of the board of CVGEMC, and Joseph So, president of Seven Fields Realty, the developer of True Vine Garden.
During the signing ceremony, So shared the scarcity of land in highly urbanized cities such as Cebu City, and how columbaries offer practical and respectful solutions for families who are looking for final resting places for their loved ones. Through this partnership, CVGEMC members are exclusively offered special rates and investment opportunities, ensuring access to dignified and affordable memorial spaces for their loved ones.
“This partnership is a testament to our commitment to the well-being of our members, not just in life but also in honoring the lives of those they hold dear,” said Arellano.
Joseph So shared during the press conference more than an alternative solution: True Vine Columbary offers sustainable solutions, and the partnership with CVGEMC enables accessible memorial spaces to the public.
CVGEMC was established in 1979 and serves government employees from regional offices of national agencies in Region 7. With assets exceeding P140 million and zero liabilities, CVGEMC has grown into one of the most successful cooperatives in the region, providing financial services, support programs, and innovative solutions to its members.
True Vine Garden Columbary, developed by Seven Fields Realty, offers premium columbarium services in Barangay San Nicolas, Cebu City. With a focus on elegance, sustainability, and serenity, True Vine Garden provides a dignified final resting place for families to honor and celebrate the lives of their departed loved ones.
As Cebu grows into the premier metropolis that Cebuanos are working hard to achieve, being able to offer accessible memorial options to all is a testament to the province’s vision of inclusivity. (SPONSORED CONTENT)
