DMCI Holdings Inc. chairman and president Isidro Consunji was conferred the Most Distinguished Alumnus Award by the University of the Philippines Alumni Engineers.
The annual recognition is given to outstanding UP alumni engineers “who have distinguished themselves in their areas of specialization” and “whose contributions to the university, the society and the country have made them outstanding models of inclusive growth.”
A 1971 Civil Engineering graduate of UP Diliman, Consunji led the diversification of premier construction company D.M. Consunji Inc. into real estate, energy, mining and water services.
Consunji has been president of DMCI Holdings since its establishment in 1995. Under his leadership, the engineering conglomerate became one of the biggest and most valued publicly-listed companies in the Philippines.
His father and DMCI Holdings Founding Chairman David Consunji is also a distinguished UP alumnus, receiving the 2016 Most Distinguished Alumnus award from the UP Alumni Association earlier this year.
