The alleged luxurious land properties of Senators Francis “Chiz” Escudero and Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go have been dismissed by property developers and associations, as both officials clarified they do not own the estates in question.

Alphaland Corp., developer of the prestigious Alphaland Baguio Mountain Lodges (ABML), confirmed that Escudero does not own any property within the 100-hectare development.

“ABML keeps its list of residents and homeowners private, but we are able to confirm that there is no home listed as owned by Sen. Chiz Escudero or any company associated with him,” Alphaland president Dennis Valdes said in a statement.

Valdes noted that Escudero and his family have been guests at ABML, primarily through the privileges of his wife, actress Heart Evangelista, a long-time member of the Alphaland Balesin Island Club.

The fenced-off luxury property features six-bedroom lodges, quadruplex three-bedroom lodges, and four-bedroom A-frame lodges, all fully furnished with amenities including a Japanese hot tub and sauna.

Escudero’s statement of assets, liabilities, and net worth (SALN) filed with the Senate lists no ABML property. His real estate assets are primarily inherited, with zero acquisition cost.

His declared net worth of P18.8 million makes him one of the least wealthy members of the Senate, compared to colleagues such as Senator Mark Villar, whose declared net worth reaches P1.2 billion.

Meanwhile, the Ayala Alabang Village Association (AAVA) confirmed that Senator Bong Go does not own a house in its exclusive subdivision.

Go’s office shared a 3 November 2025 letter from AAVA Village Manager Emmanuel G. Adizon stating that no property is registered under Go’s name in the association’s records.

“Upon your request, a search of the Association’s database/records was made, and it appears that there is no property in the village registered under the name of a certain Christopher Lawrence T. Go,” the letter stated.

The senator addressed the rumors on social media, calling them “fake news” and urging the public to stop spreading baseless claims.

Go also emphasized that the false reports have persisted since 2021, urging critics to provide proof if they insist on claiming ownership of the alleged property.
