About Roberto Ongpin

Roberto Ongpin chairs Alphaland, his high-end property developer that delisted in 2014 after a messy split with a U.K. investment group.

Alphaland took a hit in 2020 as its signature properties such as the City Club were temporarily shut down. Annual revenue dropped 65% to $54 million.

As the former Philippine trade minister, Ongpin was accused of insider trading in 2009. He was cleared of the charges in 2017.

Ongpin worked at Procter & Gamble for two years and then got his M.B.A. from Harvard Business School before returning to the Philippines.

His daughter Anna Ongpin, who has a bachelor's degree from U.S.-based Wellesley College, was appointed as vice chair of Alphaland in February 2020.
