Lamudi’s The Outlook 2022: Philippine Real Estate Awards returns this year by recognizing outstanding real estate developers across the country. The real estate platform presented 23 awards to those who excelled in providing the needs and wants of Filipinos amid the new normal. Among the prestigious awards is the Personality of the Year.
The Outlook 2022: Philippine Real Estate Awards Personality of the Year winner May Rodriguez receives her award and cites the importance of the real estate industry in making the Filipino dream of owning a home a reality.
May Rodriguez, President of Subdivision and Housing Developers Association (SHDA) and Chief Operating Officer of BellaVita Land Corp., bagged the Personality of the Year award last September 27, 2022, at Shangri-La The Fort in BGC, Taguig.
The award is given in recognition of an individual whose overall body of work in real estate is a positive force in the industry, whose voice and actions contribute to moving the industry forward, and whose influence will reverberate for years to come.
Rodriguez said the real estate industry is the noblest profession as it fulfills the Filipino dream of owning a home.
“I will say that ours is the most noble profession as we help uplift the dignity of every person who fulfills the dream of owning a home,” she said.

He added that despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the future of the Philippines is bright.
