Palawan Group Founder and Chairman Bobby L. Castro took the stage as keynote speaker at the Puerto Princesa Investment Forum at Conrad Manila, sharing the company’s journey from its humble beginnings in 1985 with an initial capital of ₱40,000.

During his talk, Mr. Castro highlighted how the company continuously improved its products, systems, and branches during its first 12 years of operations, laying the foundation for its growth into a nationwide financial services group.

More than four decades later, Puerto Princesa remains the Group’s home. Beyond being the birthplace of Palawan Pawnshop, the city provides a strong sense of community, a talented workforce, and opportunities for businesses to grow.

For the Palawan Group, its journey is a testament to how continuous improvement, strong community roots, and a vision for growth can build a business that serves millions of Filipinos.

A CITY WORTH BELIEVING IN

“And what gives us greatest confidence is not just Puerto Princesa’s natural beauty or its growing economy. It is the people, the community, and the shared vision of building a future. We are grateful to the city government of Puerto Princesa under the leadership of Mayor Bayron for continuing to encourage investment and create opportunity for development. To our fellow investors, I would simply say this: Puerto Princesa is a city worth believing in. And at Dataland, we are proud we have started here, excited about what lies ahead, and committed to growing alongside this wonderful city. We came to Puerto Princesa because we saw its potentials. We continue to invest because we believe in its future.”
