Pueblo de Oro builds momentum with new communities in the booming Visayas region

Pueblo de Oro Townsquare
Once regarded merely as the gateway to the Visayas, Cebu is now transforming into the South's foremost Gateway to Growth Hub—an island where infrastructure, investment, and inspired living converge. Its rise as a business and residential powerhouse continues to attract investors, families, and retirees seeking both opportunity and lifestyle.
According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, Central Visayas posted a 7.3% GDP growth in 2024, outpacing the national average and reaffirming Cebu's position as the economic engine of the South. Anchored on robust IT-BPM, manufacturing, and tourism industries, the island remains the top investment destination outside Metro Manila, supported by a skilled workforce and a strong infrastructure backbone.
Cebu's infrastructure renaissance has further elevated its accessibility and appeal. The Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) handled more than 11 million passengers in 2024, with an ongoing runway expansion projected to raise capacity to 18 million annually.
