Pueblo de Oro: Fostering financial literacy to uplift host communities

Pueblo de Oro Development Corp. (PDO)—through its social development arm ICCP Group Foundation Inc. and in partnership with its member company Science Park of the Philippines Inc. (SPPI) and the BDO Foundation—conducted its first financial literacy program for residents of Barangay San Pedro II in Malvar, Batangas.

Endorsed by the barangay local government unit, the workshop took place at San Pedro II Elementary School and attracted over 60 parents from the barangay, who actively participated in the session that tackled the Basics of Personal Finance.

This financial literacy program is part of PDO’s ongoing efforts to empower and uplift neighboring communities. Its goal is to enhance the participants’ financial literacy and help cultivate a financially savvy community.

The company’s other initiatives include livelihood programs aimed at establishing sustainable income sources by providing support such as capital, training, and ongoing monitoring of individuals or groups facing employment challenges.

Additionally, PDO regularly conducts seminars and programs focused on environmental preservation and green practices, promoting awareness and maintaining sustainable, ecologically friendly communities.

Pueblo de Oro’s strategy is centered around purposeful corporate social responsibility planning—recognizing real estate development as a catalyst for community empowerment. By prioritizing thoughtful initiatives, the company ensures comprehensive and holistic development within these localities.

As one of the property development arms of the ICCP Group, the developer has been multi-awarded for its innovative projects that craft sustainable, eco-friendly residential communities.
