Pueblo de Oro COO named one of TOFA’s 100 Most Influential Filipinos of 2025

PUEBLO DE ORO Development Corporation President and Chief Operating Officer Prim Nolido has been honored as one of the 100 Most Influential Filipinos in the World at the 15th annual The Outstanding Filipino Awards (TOFA), held at The Orleans Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The recognition celebrated Nolido’s transformative leadership in Philippine real estate, particularly his pioneering work in sustainable township development.

According to the Awards, Nolido has redefined the landscape of Philippine real estate through eco-friendly communities that prioritize wellness, climate resilience, and inclusive growth. Since assuming leadership in 2015, he has steered Pueblo de Oro toward a future-forward vision that has earned both industry distinction and international acclaim.

Known for its purposeful integration of open spaces and harmony with the natural environment, Pueblo de Oro has earned honors that reflect its commitment to sustainable and community-centered development, including Masterplan Development of the Year – Philippines and Residential Development of the Year – Philippines at the Real Estate Asia Awards 2025, and Best Green Development from the DOT Property Philippines Awards, among others.

In 2023, Pueblo de Oro was named Developer of the Decade for Mindanao by the Chamber of Real Estate & Builders’ Associations, Inc. (CREBA) — a recognition of its sustained excellence in regional development.

Nolido’s inclusion in the TOFA100 affirms his role as a visionary leader whose work continues to shape the future of urban development in the Philippines. “Beyond building homes, our goal has always been to create environments where families can truly thrive. A home is valuable, but a community—that’s a legacy,” he said.
