Prim Nolido, president and chief operating officer of Pueblo de Oro Development Corp., 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 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 along a pioneering, future-ready path 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.
Committed to excellence, Pueblo de Oro has achieved recognition from local and international award institutions for its innovative, high-quality yet affordable offerings of residential communities and townships in booming areas like Cagayan de Oro; Malvar, Lipa, Batangas and Santo Tomas in Batangas; San Fernando, Pampanga; and Carcar and Lapu-Lapu City in Cebu.
In 2023, Pueblo de Oro was named Developer of the Decade for Mindanao by the Chamber of Real Estate & Builders’ Associations, Inc.—a recognition of its sustained excellence in regional development.
Nolido’s inclusion in TOFA100 highlights his purpose-driven leadership in advancing sustainable community development across 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.
