ALAGANG Ayala, an Ayala Group community engagement initiative, aims to partner with Mindanao’s key stakeholders in advancing the region’s health and education sectors and elevating the lives of communities.
At the Wednesdays Media Forum on Aug. 12, Ayala Foundation president Tony Lambino, together with the managing director and chief social infrastructure officer, Paolo Borromeo, and We Are Ayala Business Club (WAABC) of Davao chairman James Lopez, said they are focusing on social infrastructure to support the group’s platforms on health care, education, and improving the human capital in the Philippines.
“We are investing very heavily in social infrastructure platforms because we believe that’s how people will thrive; hence, we launch Alagang Ayala,” Borromeo said.
Borromeo added that a place that is dynamic and diverse like Mindanao can be at its strongest regional progress when there are appropriate health services, quality education, livelihood support, and resilience.
Lambino shared that the foundation is also working with a lot of partners in times of emergencies and disasters through WAABC, such as relief efforts in the recent earthquakes that affected South Cotabato and Sarangani.
Alagang Ayala brings together the platforms of AC Health, iPeople, Ayala Foundation, and Ayala Sustainability to bolster Ayala Group’s contribution to long-term national progress.
The Ayala Group took part in and supported the activities of the ongoing Kadayawan Festival 2026 as well as engaging with local stakeholders.
Ayala Foundation held a training on Aug 8 to help Davao Region journalists to adapt emerging technologies and responsible reporting.
The AC Health platform, through Generika Drugstore and Healthway Medical Network, contributed to the program’s launch via a Wellness Caravan at Magsaysay Park to provide Davaoeños with free medical consultations and medicines.
