Alsons Consolidated Resources Inc. (ACR), led by the family of bilyonaryo Tomas Alcantara, reported a 12 percent rise in net earnings to P504.6 million for the first three quarters on the back of higher revenues.
ACR’s revenues rose eight percent to P10 billion. As a key player in Mindanao’s energy market, ACR operates the 210-megawatt Sarangani Energy Corporation (SEC) baseload power plant.
