The company also bagged the Top 6 Taxpayer Contributor Award, with Mayor Georgia D. Gokiangkee personally presenting the honors.
What they’re saying
“Receiving these awards is a testament to our shared responsibility as partners in progress. Through our operations, we remain committed to supporting the host community of the Municipality of Claver where we operate by creating jobs, contributing to local development, and upholding execution excellence in everything we do,” said Beverly Tolentino, Aboitiz Construction’s first vice president-controller.
Municipal Administrator Atty. Carlo Reynaldo F. Lozada Jr. added: “The progress of Claver is fueled by the strength of our local economy, and this would not be possible without the continued trust and confidence of businesses and industries.”
Why it matters
For four straight years, Aboitiz Construction has ranked among Claver’s top taxpayers—a critical revenue source for a mining-driven economy that funds roads, schools, and public services. Recognition also underscores how responsible business practices can directly translate to stronger local governance and services.
Beyond taxes: real community impact
Since 2012, Aboitiz Construction has anchored operations in Claver, employing nearly 1,000 locals and ensuring over 10 million safe man hours. Its work keeps mineral processing plants efficient through preventive maintenance and equipment monitoring.
But its role extends beyond industry. Annual support for Brigada Eskwela, blood donation drives, disaster preparedness training, and tree planting shows how corporate presence can ripple into education, health, and environmental sustainability.
The bottom line
This recognition is more than a plaque—it’s proof that corporate responsibility and local growth go hand in hand. For Claver, it means a stronger economy. For Aboitiz Construction, it cements its role not just as an employer, but as a community partner “engineered for excellence.” —Ed: Princess Daisy Ominga
