Early life

Alice Galang Eduardo was born on March 20, 1965 in Manila.[2] Eduardo is the eldest of four siblings to parents Andres Eduardo and Elisa Galang, who were a dentist and certified public accountant, respectively.[3] Her family owned a garments export business in Manila, a rice milling business in Bocaue, Bulacan and a rice trading business in Jaen, Nueva Ecija.[4] The family also owned a bowling center.[5]

She managed these activities until she formed her own company in 1995, the "Sta. Elena Construction and Development Corporation".[6] This was a stepping stone to entering the construction industry.[7][8] She started with four sets of cranes that she rented until she bagged a partnership with a Japanese construction firm. Her company, Sta. Elena Construction, was subcontracted to build the foundation for a power plant in Batangas.[5]

Before Eduardo even became a young entrepreneur, she was drawn to properties. She bought her first condominium in Ortigas while in college.[5]

Eduardo has drawn recognition for her business achievements, including being named one of Go Negosyo's 50 Inspiring Women of Passion.[9]
