Alexander Bangsoy is the son of Igorot house-helpers from Mountain Province who worked in Manila. They handled a sari-sari store, traded knitting yarns and knitted wares. They recycled the refuse of hosiery factories in Pasig in the 70s and Alexander helped sell these at Baclaran. When he was 11 years old, Bangsoy opened his own comic book rental venture in their neighborhood where he learned the crucial factors of inventory tracking and turn-over. In 1983, Bangsoy's family was forced to return home to Baguio when they were ejected from their rented home at La Felonila, Quezon City with all their belongings thrown out on the street in full view of their neighbors. This motivated Bangsoy to become a lawyer and later on, build homes for Filipinos like him. To support his education, Bangsoy's father worked as an OFW cook at Dammam, Saudi Arabia while his mother traded vegetables and knitted wares. While studying at the Ateneo Law School, Alexander sold knitted cardigans to his classmates, friends and in Manila trade fairs. During vacation, he sold knitted wares in their market stall and along Baguio's sidewalks. In law practice, he dabbled in property junkyard deals of legally-distressed properties which led him to enroll at the Asian Institute of Management for Master in Entrepreneurship. He established Inc. in 2007 which introduced master planned student condominiums, investment lots and other real estate properties.
