Megaworld Corporation’s major failure is in its inability to provide a quality product.
There had been a lot of complaints from customers who cannot tolerate the pathetic quality of the condo units when they were turned over to the owners. Some of the worst cases are those falling ceilings due to the water damage brought about by poor plumbing. And to make it worse and add insult to injury, Megaworld doesn’t take responsibility for it: they blame their contractors and make the owners pay for the damages.

There have been complaints of owners having to pay even more just to have their units remodeled so it can be livable.
Although Megaworld Corporation is trying its best to make it appear that they are a dependable company, that is farther from the truth.
The main problem with them? Substandard and poor quality condominium units. The most common problems are the thin walls, poor paint jobs, leaking pipes from above.
As members of commenter in Pinoy Exchange posted, and we quote:
“Madami kelangan ipa-repair kasi hindi maganda ang pagkakagawa. May mga structural defects as a few posters have mentioned. Pansin ko din na hindi maganda ang quality ng mga ginamit. Mukhang en grande sa labas, pero parang low cost housing sa loob.” – source: comment #44
Ang napansin ko pangit sa One Orchard at ibang condo ng MegaWorld. Wala natural light or hangin sa loob. Kulob na kulob. Maganda yung ginawa nung Tivoli Gardens. Every 3rd floor may opening sila. kaya natural light and air nakapasok.- source: comment #72
In the website Pissedconsumer.com, a reviewer/owner properly sums his/her problem with her Megaworld condo unit:
The air conditioner condensing unit or compressor on the belagio 3 units are installed inside the living room and inside the bedroom. When i inspected my unit I thought there were two coffins in my unit.I asked the building engineer and his explanation is that there is no place to put the compressor outside.I think this a building code violation, belagio 3 owners should unite and find a solution to this problem.If you are an investor do not invest in this company, their advertising is fantastic but their product is bulok or rotten.- source: comment by belagio 3 owner
There are more stories shared online, but what has Megaworld Corporation done to fix these problems? Nothing. The sadder truth is, their Head of Communication, Harold Geronimo, is hell bent and spending a good amount of money to make Megaworld Corporation look awesome online. They have even bragged about investing 15 Billion pesos on new projects, but why can’t they just fix the defective products first?
Let the buyers beware of Megaworld Corporation.
