Alfonso also served as the Senior Vice President of the Corporate Services of AP Renewables, Inc. of Aboitiz Power, where he was responsible for Accounting, Finance, Legal, HR, and Strategy, having more than 25 years of working experience in the Philippines and the United States, according to a statement of the LRMC.
The rail line operator lauded Singson for the various improvements that were implemented in the LRT-1 during his leadership.
