Alphaland Baguio Mountain Lodges (ABML) has addressed circulating rumors suggesting that Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero owns a property within its exclusive development, stating that such claims are untrue.

According to a text message from ABML, the residential estate upholds strict privacy and security protocols and therefore does not disclose its roster of homeowners. Despite this, ABML confirmed that it reviewed its records and found no property registered under the senator’s name or under any company linked to 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,” according to management.

The ABML official added that Escudero and his family have occasionally visited the property, as seen in social media posts by various individuals, but such visits should not be mistaken for ownership.

“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 official said.

Located in Itogon, Benguet, Alphaland Baguio Mountain Lodges is one of the country’s premier mountain residential developments, known for its luxury lodges, high-altitude views, and exclusivity. It is a sister property of the Alphaland Balesin Island Club in Quezon province, both developed under the Alphaland Corporation brand.

Escudero’s 2024 Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN) does not include any declaration of ownership or business interest related to Alphaland or real estate in Baguio or Benguet.
