Historical Context
Pueblo de Oro was incorporated in 1995 as the high-end property development arm of the PHINMA Group. Its flagship project was the 400-hectare township in Cagayan de Oro City, which transformed the city’s upland region. Over the 2000s and 2010s, it expanded its horizontal subdivision brands to Cebu, Pampanga, and Batangas, establishing itself as a leading provider of mid-cost and premium residential communities in the provinces.
