 ESA Family Corporation is a well-established and respected business that has been serving the community of Yap for over 50 years. Originally stemming from the ESA Bay View Hotel, the corporation was officially formed in 1998 following the passing of its founder, Mr. Silbester Alfonso. At that time, all of his enterprises were unified under the name ESA Family Corporation, with the intention of providing for his children and ensuring the legacy of the family business. ESA Family Corporation continues to be a trusted provider of a wide range of services, including hotel operations, a retail store, restaurant, bakery, and car rental. With a team of dedicated and skilled professionals, the company is committed to delivering exceptional service and value to its customers. Whether you're looking for a comfortable place to stay, delicious food, or reliable transportation, ESA Family Corporation truly is a one-stop Satisfaction Company.

"Legacy Succession and Leadership Evolution: A Chronicle of ESA Family Corporation"

In 1999, following the demise of ESA Family Corporation's founder, Mr. Silbester N Alfonso, the company underwent a significant transition in accordance with his will and the established bylaws. The founder's vision outlined the transformation into a closed corporation, with a unique leadership succession plan. Per his directives, only his children were eligible to assume key positions, adhering to a specific order from the oldest to the youngest.

The esteemed list of successors, in chronological order, includes: Debra S Alfonso, Kathleen S Alfonso, Thomas S Alfonso, Tilus S Alfonso, Ferenando S Alfonso, Gina S Alfonso, Juliet S Alfonso, and Rodney S Alfonso.

Following Mr. Silbester N Alfonso's passing, his eldest daughter, Debra S Alfonso, took the helm as the CEO and General Manager of ESA Family Corporation until her unfortunate passing in 2020. In her stead, the reins were gracefully assumed by the second oldest daughter, Kathleen S Alfonso, who currently serves as the CEO, leading the corporation into its next chapter.
