Aboitiz InfraCapital Inc. (AIC), the infrastructure arm of the Aboitiz Group, has been recognized as the Most Innovative Infrastructure Investment Company in the Philippines at the 2025 International Finance Awards.
This marks the second consecutive year AIC has received the distinction from International Finance, a business and finance magazine based in the United Kingdom.
“This second recognition by the International Finance Awards affirms that innovation at AIC is not a one-off achievement, but a discipline we consistently practice,” AIC president and chief executive Cosette Canilao said. “We continue to invest in transformative infrastructure ecosystems that are future-ready, sustainable, and responsive to the evolving needs of the country.”
The award recognizes financial institutions for leadership, corporate governance, and contributions to the global finance community. The 2025 honors coincide with AIC’s 10th anniversary, underscoring the company’s focus on long-term value in water, airports, and digital infrastructure.
In 2025, AIC Airports began operations at Bohol-Panglao and Laguindingan international airports, joining the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) in the company’s portfolio. MCIA also earned global recognition for its Eco-Watt Initiative and was named Airport of the Year in Asia at the 2025 TDM Travel Trade Excellence Awards.
In the water sector, AIC subsidiary Apo Agua Infrastructura Inc. continued its partnership with the Davao City Water District. Apo Agua has operated the Davao City Bulk Water Supply Project, the country’s largest bulk water facility, for two years. The company also maintained its watershed protection advocacy, #AmpinganPaniganTamugan, and its Project Blue community initiative.
Unity Digital, a partnership between AIC and Partners Group, also expanded to nearly 3,000 points of service in 2025, increasing connectivity nationwide.
