Cemex Holdings Philippines (CHP) announced that its president and CEO Ignacio Alejandro Mijares Elizondo is stepping down on June 1.

Under Elizondo’s watch, CHP posted a net loss of P970 million in his first full year as CEO in 2018. CHP bounced back to a P1.279 billion profit in 2019 but it has been on a downtrend during the pandemic – P985 million in 2020 and P725 million in 2021.
CHP also suffered $88 million in losses due to the four-year delay in the expansion of its Solid Cement plant in Antipolo.
