Eton Properties Philippines, Inc. subsidiaries were recognized as among Sta. Rosa’s top real property taxpayers at the 2025 Lion Awards for Business, the city’s annual program honoring companies that contribute significantly to local development.
Eton City, Inc. (ECI) ranked first in the Real Property Taxpayers – Residential Classification (Actual Property Use) category, while Belton Communities, Inc. (BCI) placed ninth.
“These recognitions affirm our commitment as a responsible corporate citizen of Sta. Rosa,” said Kyle C.

Mayor Arlene B. Arcillas praised the awardees, noting, “Sta. Rosa’s progress is made possible by businesses that consistently support local development. Their contributions fuel our economy and improve the quality of life for our people.”
Beyond tax contributions, Eton Properties continues to develop Eton City, a 600-hectare master-planned township integrating residential communities, business hubs, universities, and commercial spaces—further establishing Sta. Rosa as a premier growth center in the South.
