The management of Alphaland Baguio Mountain Lodges (ABML) has issued an official statement clarifying that Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero does not own any property within their development. This clarification comes amidst persistent claims circulating online and within private circles suggesting otherwise.
In a text message sent to the media, ABML emphasized that while the residential village upholds a strict policy of not disclosing its list of homeowners for privacy and security reasons, they were able to confirm that no home or lot is registered under the name of Sen. Escudero or any company associated with him.
“ABML, like any other residential village in the country, does not divulge a list of its residents or homeowners. However, we are able to confirm that there is no home listed as owned by Sen. Chiz Escudero or any company associated with him,” the management stated.
The official further explained that while Senator Escudero and his family have been spotted at the property on several occasions, such appearances should not be misconstrued as evidence of ownership. These visits are often documented in social media posts by various parties.
“We are aware that he and his family are occasional visitors to the property, as can be gleaned from numerous social media posts by various parties. Mrs. Escudero, being a long-time member of Alphaland Balesin Island Club, is allowed the privilege to use the facilities of ABML,” the ABML official added.
Alphaland Baguio Mountain Lodges, located in Itogon, Benguet, is recognized as one of the country’s premier mountain residential developments. It boasts luxury lodges, breathtaking high-altitude views, and an exclusive community atmosphere. The development is a sister property of the renowned Alphaland Balesin Island Club in Quezon province, both under the Alphaland Corporation brand.
ABML’s management reiterated their commitment to maintaining the privacy and security of all their residents and property owners. They also affirmed that their policies are in line with industry standards for high-end residential communities.
Records further show that Senator Escudero’s 2024 Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN) contains no declaration of property or business interests tied to Alphaland or any real estate in Baguio or Benguet, supporting ABML’s statement of fact.
