Aboitiz unit rallies behind Cebu’s next wave of infra-centric growth

With Cebu's economy on a powerful upswing, Aboitiz InfraCapital, Inc., (AIC), the infrastructure arm of the Aboitiz Group, is doubling down on its commitment to help shape the province’s future along with the rest of the private sector through bold, transformative, and collaborative infrastructure that help fill current gaps.

This was the message of Cosette V. Canilao, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Aboitiz InfraCapital, Inc. (AIC), the infrastructure arm of the Aboitiz Group, at the Cebu Business Investment Forum 2025, organized by the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry last July 9, 2025 as part of Cebu Business Month 2025.

“Cebu is surging ahead,” Canilao said during the forum’s “Infrastructure Investments Driving Progress: Is Cebu Ready?” panel, describing the next years as “what could be the most transformative decade for Cebu.”

“We believe infrastructure is not just a physical enabler, but a foundation for inclusive growth. We must invest now—intelligently and collaboratively—so Cebu can lead as a resilient, connected, and competitive region,” Canilao added.
