Jose Franco Soberano is a Cebu-based real estate leader focused on scaling property platforms that respond to actual demand drivers—housing, townships, and the workforce accommodations that make large projects viable. He brings a commercial developer’s view of what it takes to build livable ecosystems that support employers, supply chains, and long-term local growth.

In CIIS 2026, his contribution centers on the practical side of investability: how Cebu can meet the housing and township needs that investors and their workforces require as capital and jobs expand.
