Its foundation has always been its people. “As we mark our 50th year, we not only look back on what we’ve built — we celebrate how we’ve built it,” said Anton Perdices, director, president, and chairman of Aboitiz Construction.
“Our work is a promise: that what we build will last, that what we create will uplift, and that what we deliver will leave a lasting impact for clients and communities alike.”
Nationwide Progress
From Luzon to Mindanao, Aboitiz Construction continues to power Philippine growth. It’s behind major developments like the 217.5-hectare LIMA Estate in Batangas, TARI Estate in Tarlac, and port expansions in Davao del Norte and Misamis Oriental—projects that drive investment and job creation.
The company also provides site and maintenance services for AboitizPower, Apo Agua Infrastructura, Republic Cement, and Aboitiz InfraCapital, reflecting its expanding expertise beyond construction.

With 35 million safe man-hours and a zero nonconformity ISO recertification, Aboitiz Construction continues to set the bar for safety and quality. Its Gold and Bronze Stevie® Awards and recognition among the Philippines’ Best Employers for 2026 reinforce its world-class standing.
“Fifty years is not just a milestone—it’s a reminder of who we are and why we build,” said executive director Antonio Peñalver. “We’re not just constructing structures—we’re building a legacy of purpose and progress.” —Princess Daisy C. Ominga | Ed: Corrie S. Narisma
