Controversies
[edit]Land Grabbing
[edit]Post-typhoon land grab on Sicogon Island
[edit]According to Rolling Stone[6] and The New York Times,[7] Ayala Land played a role in a 2013 land grab to build a resort. The Inquirer detailed how a documentary Asog exposed the transgression and helped force Ayala Land to pay millions of dollars in reparations to the community.[8] According to Time Magazine: "The film features residents of Sicogon Island, some 6,000 of whom were subjected to a poststorm land grab perpetrated by Ayala Land Inc. to build a luxury resort. Following Asog’s success on the festival circuit, Ayala eventually started listening to residents’ demands and has agreed to pay $5.1 million in reparations to 784 displaced families."[9]
Animal cruelty allegations
[edit]Caged eggs in Ayala Land's global supply chain
[edit]Ayala Land's hospitality arm Ayala Land Hotels and Resorts[10] which operates Raffles Makati[11] and Seda Hotels[12] as well as El Nido Resorts[13] in the Philippines, has been facing negative publicity for using of battery-cage eggs in its supply chain.[14] Due to the cruel conditions on those farms, as well as the health risks associated with eggs produced in battery cages, the European Union Council Directive 1999/74/EC banned caged farms back in 2012.

* In Gamboa v. Finance Secretary Teves (G.R. No. 176579 | June 28, 2011) and affirmed in Roy vs. Herbosa (G.R. No. 207246, April 18, 2017), the Supreme Court of the Philippines ruled that under Section 11, Article XII of the Constitution, “capital” in a public utility refers only to shares entitled to vote in the election of directors. Thus, Preferred shares that have been vested with such power are included in the relevant computations, in addition to common shares that naturally are appurtenant with voting privileges in every aspect.
** While the Philippine Central Depository (PCD) is listed a major shareholder, it is more of a trustee-nominee for all shares lodged in the PCD system rather than a single owner/shareholder. Major legal owner shareholders (i.e. those who have at least 5% of outstanding capital stock with voting rights) hidden, if any, under the PCD system are checked/identified and are disclosed with the Definitive Information Statement companies are submitting annually to the local bourse and Securities and Exchange Commission
