Alsons Development and Investment Corporation (Alsons Dev), the premier property developer and real estate pioneer in the city, has appointed former Sarangani Gov. Miguel A. Dominguez as its new director. As director, Dominguez oversees Alsons Dev’s business strategy and operations.
“Alsons Dev continues to build and expand its services to cater to our stakeholders’ needs and preferences, and Miguel’s appointment is a crucial step in advancing this goal. He will be responsible for further growing our existing properties and leading the development of upcoming projects. This includes our expansion into the Soccsksargen region, where we will be launching our first mixed-use development outside Davao City,” said Nicasio I. Alcantara, company president and Dominguez’ uncle. “With his experience as director of Alsons Aquaculture Corporation, we are confident that he will be able to lead Alsons Dev in the right direction, with the welfare of the community as his top priority.
Dominguez concurrently serves as director of Alsons Aquaculture Corporation, the Philippines’ largest fully integrated aquaculture farm in Alabel, Sarangani province; trustee for the Philippine Business for Social Progress and Philippine Business for Education; board member of the General Santos City Chamber of Commerce; vice chair of the Galing Pook Foundation and Eisenhower Fellowships Association of the Philippines; and trustee of Synergeia Foundation.
Alsons Dev is the real estate arm of the Alcantara Group, one of the largest and most diversified conglomerates in the country comprising more than 20 corporations. Established in 1962, Alsons Dev has become Davao City’s most trusted property developer that has grown with generations of Davaoenos.
“I am truly grateful to have been given this opportunity to lead Alsons Dev. My family has always been steadfast in our commitment to grow and foster the communities where our businesses operate, and I am honored to be leading this effort,” Dominguez shared. “I assure our stakeholders within and outside Davao City that Alsons Dev will remain their partner in social and economic growth.”
The executive was elected as governor of Sarangani province for three consecutive terms beginning in 2004. As provincial governor, Dominguez’s deep understanding of Philippine agriculture allowed him to lead agricultural and fisheries support initiatives in Sarangani.
Dominguez earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in economics from Boston College in 1999 and recently completed his master’s degree in public administration at Harvard University. He was the first recipient of the Jesse Robredo Leadership Award in 2013 and granted the Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Philippines (TOYM) Governance and Public Service Award.
