The Consunji family confirmed the passing on of its patriarch, David Consunji, fondly called as DM, founder of the DMCI Group of Companies.
DM, 95, died around noontime Monday, surrounded by close family and relatives.
A beloved husband and father, DM built landmarks and redefined cityscapes for generations of Filipinos. He transformed the local construction industry by valuing not the quick profit but the satisfaction of doing one’s work well, honestly and proudly.
His remains lie in state at the Capilla de San Francisco of Santuario de San Antonio Parish, McKinley Road, Forbes Park in Makati City, and may be viewed starting September 5 until September 8.
Interment is scheduled on Saturday (September 9) at the Heritage Memorial Park in Taguig City after the 9:30 a.m. mass. at Santuario de San Antonio.
In lieu of flowers, the family asked that donations be made in DM’s honor to the UP Engineering Research and Development Foundation Inc. and Orani Suhay Foundation Inc.
