Rafael Fernandez de Mesa, president and CEO of Aboitiz Land, shares how purpose-driven development creates opportunities, fosters growth, and builds thriving communities for Filipinos
Our work is driven by a clear purpose—to create economic opportunities, enable progress, and build a better future for Filipinos. Through our Economic Estates, we continue to deliver long-term value and contribute to the country’s journey towards sustainable and inclusive growth. By transforming regional areas into thriving business hubs, we bring opportunities closer to home, enabling Filipinos to pursue meaningful careers without having to relocate to major urban centers. Through the decentralization of economic growth, we provide access to world-class infrastructure and foster vibrant communities where people can work, live, and thrive.
More than industrial hubs, our Economic Estates are master-planned ecosystems that seamlessly integrate residential, commercial, and lifestyle components. Aboitiz Land plays an integral role in this ecosystem, developing residential communities that enhance the estate experience and support the evolving needs of individuals and families. These developments offer modern conveniences, essential services, and well-designed spaces that contribute to a well-balanced and fulfilling lifestyle.
Sustainability is embedded in everything we do. Our Estates set new benchmarks in smart and responsible development—achieving BERDE Green District Certifications and integrating circular economy principles that promote long-term resilience. We are dedicated to creating sustainable environments that not only drive economic growth but also uphold environmental stewardship and deliver meaningful social impact.
Beyond infrastructure, our Economic Estates serve as catalysts for high-value job creation and skills development. By attracting global investors across key industries, we generate employment opportunities that uplift communities and drive economic progress. Our estates are home to a diverse mix of locators, including those in manufacturing—covering sectors such as electronics, automotive, and consumer goods—along with IT-BPM firms that fuel business growth. Through our upskilling and reskilling initiatives, we empower local talent with the capabilities needed to succeed in these rapidly evolving sectors.
