Current Managerial Committee

On August 08, 1988, GA LENDING INVESTORS, a lending business, was founded by Mr. Gregorio Alano Jr. — fondly known as Sir Boy — the father of Alano Lending Corporation's current President, Higino T. Alano. The company began with very humble beginnings, with only four employees at its small office at Roxy Building, Dipolog City. The business was founded primarily out of Sir Boy's desire to improve his family's life and to help other families as well.

Following Sir Boy's passing on October 09, 1996, his widow, Mrs. Bienvenida T. Alano, rose to the challenge of continuing her husband's legacy. Her perseverance and exceptional leadership, coupled with the support of dedicated employees, led the company to flourish and expand as ALANO AND SONS CREDIT CORPORATION — growing to over 40 branches that catered to the financial needs of teachers, government employees, and pensioners across the Mindanao and Visayas regions.

ASCC's vision had always been to be the exemplar for financial services in the country and to carry forward the founder's vision of helping families improve their lives.

After 35 years, President Bienvenida T. Alano, at the age of 82, decided to equally divide the company's resources and assets between her two sons, Reno Alano and Higino Alano, ensuring that even as she aged, the Alano Legacy would be continued. A fair and equal division was agreed upon between the Alano brothers, and the right to the name ALANO AND SONS CREDIT CORPORATION was awarded through a monumental toss of a coin as a fair means of settling the matter. As a result, Reno T. Alano, the elder brother, assumed the use of ALANO AND SONS CREDIT CORPORATION, while Higino Alano carried forward the family legacy under a new business name.

The new corporation was approved and certified by the SEC on November 13, 2023. ALANO LENDING CORPORATION was officially introduced to the public under the leadership of Higino T. Alano, and began operating independently in January 2024 across the provinces of Zamboanga Sibugay, Misamis Occidental and Oriental, Negros Island, Siquijor, Cebu, Bohol — with continued plans for expansion throughout Mindanao, Visayas, and eventually Luzon.

Under the leadership of its President, Higino T. Alano, Alano Lending Corporation has remained committed to continuing its founder's desire to help change and improve the lives of people in the community, standing true to its promise of being YOUR LIFE-CHANGING PARTNER.

Together, the company has worked and continues to work to provide the community with the best service, striving to be a part of the change for the better.
