Filipino real estate broker Aquino Plotado, known for securing an exclusive AED 1-billion beachfront development project in Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah, will join the roster of featured speakers at the Global Filipino Career & Entrepreneurship Summit 2025 on June 29 at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Dubai Deira Creek.
The multi-billion peso project (approximately PHP 15 billion) was made possible through a strategic collaboration with Francesco Ferretti, Managing Director of fäm Properties, marking it as an exclusive venture with one of the UAE’s top property firms. Plotado’s historic achievement makes him one of the most successful Filipino property professionals in the Middle East today.
Once a hotel staffer and service crew member, Plotado’s rise to real estate prominence reflects the summit’s core message: transforming OFWs into CEOs of their own journey. He is also a film producer and philanthropist, known for the award-winning short film As The Call, So The Echo and for establishing the Aquino Plotado Philanthropy Foundation.
Plotado is set to speak under the Career & Business Growth track, alongside respected professionals Enrico Cardoniga and Pauline Lopez, to inspire aspiring Filipino investors and entrepreneurs in the region.
The summit will also feature an all-star lineup including Dennis Trillo, Jennylyn Mercado, Joross Gamboa, and Liezel Lopez, as well as keynote industry leaders such as Dr. Carl Balita, Mary Jane Alvero, and Kristine Abante. Admission is free, with programs starting at 5:00 PM. The event is organized by The Global Filipino Magazine in partnership with GMA Pinoy TV, Philippine Business Council–Dubai, and several media and corporate partners.
