The Aboitiz Group is exploring more opportunities to enter the public-private partnership (PPP) landscape in Mindanao, building on the success of its infrastructure contracts in the island. At the Davao Investment Conference 2025, Aboitiz InfraCapital Inc. (AIC) reported some of the gains made by the Laguindingan International Airport (LIA) since its turnover to the company in April. AIC airports head of strategy and communications Christine Villanueva said LIA is now landing and sending off 337 flights weekly to some of the busiest metros in the Philippines like Manila, Cebu, Iloilo and Davao. AIC is also planning to carry out infrastructure upgrades for LIA in the long run, including expanding the passenger terminal building to boost the airport’s prospects for international flights. The development of the Davao City Bulk Water Supply Project (DCBWSP) has improved Davao’s water situation, delivering 300 million liters of water per day to over one million customers. To date, Apo Agua, a subsidiary of AIC, has generated over P15 billion in investments for Davao City. With these projects as PPP models, AIC is considering other projects in Mindanao, including digital infrastructure, industrial parks and water projects.
