The management of Alphaland Baguio Mountain Lodges (ABML) has denied circulating claims that Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero owns property within its exclusive mountain estate in Itogon, Benguet.
In an official statement sent via text message, ABML clarified that while the company does not publicly release its list of homeowners for privacy and security reasons, it was able to verify that no home is listed 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 said.
The developer further explained that Sen. Escudero and his family have only been occasional visitors to the property — visits that may have fueled the speculation.
“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 statement added.
Alphaland Baguio Mountain Lodges, located in Itogon, Benguet, is known for its high-end residential lodges, panoramic mountain views, and exclusivity. It is a sister property of the Alphaland Balesin Island Club in Quezon province, both developed by Alphaland Corporation.
Meanwhile, Sen. Escudero’s 2024 Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN) contains no declaration of ownership or business interests connected to Alphaland, nor any real estate holdings in Baguio or Benguet.
The clarification comes amid ongoing social media chatter alleging that the senator owns property in the luxury development — a claim ABML has now firmly refuted.
