In the same ceremony, Robinsons Land Corporation’s (RLC) Chairman, President, and CEO Lance Y.

RLC Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President – Business Unit General Manager of RLC Residences Chad Sotelo received the trophy on his behalf.
“On behalf of Mr. Lance, thank you for choosing him as the Property Man of the Year. When he was just the CEO of JG Summit, Mr. Lance would always remind us of the purpose of JG Summit, which is the unrelenting commitment to create better choices for our customers — creating shared success for all our stakeholders. When he joined us as CEO of Robinsons Land, he made sure that every business unit brought this purpose to life. He has been our CEO in Robinsons Land for less than a year and the impact he’s already made is outstanding — building on the success of previous CEO Frederick Go,” shares Chad.
