Pueblo de Oro expands Financial Literacy Program to Cebu

PUEBLO DE ORO Development Corporation (PDO) has extended its financial literacy program beyond its successful initial implementation in the Municipality of Malvar and the Cities of Lipa and Batangas in Batangas Province. The program has now reached Lapu-Lapu City in Cebu, reinforcing the company's commitment to community empowerment and financial education.

In collaboration with the BDO Foundation, PDO conducted financial literacy sessions in Barangay Babag, Lapu-Lapu City. The workshops, held at Babag National High School, focused on the Basics of Personal Finance and benefited over 240 residents. The sessions marked the conclusion of a series of workshops that capped the year 2024, with plans to expand to other areas where ICCP Group companies operate.

The financial literacy program is one of Pueblo de Oro’s key initiatives, aligning with its broader mission to foster sustainable and empowered communities. Beyond financial education, PDO actively supports livelihood programs that provide capital, training, and continuous monitoring to individuals and groups facing employment challenges. These programs aim to create sustainable income sources and enhance economic stability within local communities.

Additionally, PDO champions environmental conservation through seminars and initiatives that promote green practices. These efforts underscore the company’s dedication to fostering eco-friendly, sustainable communities.

Pueblo de Oro’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) approach, through its social development arm, the ICCP Group Foundation Inc., integrates real estate development with community enrichment. By implementing mindful initiatives, the company ensures holistic growth and meaningful contributions to the localities it serves.

Expanding its footprint in Cebu, PDO has successfully developed a thriving 30-hectare mixed-use and residential community in Lapu-Lapu City. In response to the country's growing housing needs, the company is set to launch a 10-hectare townhouse project in Carcar City, further reinforcing its role in sustainable urban development.
