Salvador Aquino Pleyto Sr. was born on March 22, 1942, in Santa Maria, Bulacan, Philippines. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree from the University of the Philippines Diliman.
Pleyto serves as the president and CEO of S.A. Pleyto Construction Corporation.
Pleyto served as Undersecretary of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), where he was involved in major infrastructure projects across the Philippines.
Pleyto began his political career in 2022 when he was elected as the representative of the newly created 6th district of Bulacan under the PDPâÂÂLaban party. He later switched to the LakasâÂÂCMD party. As a congressman, he has focused on infrastructure development, public works, and local governance. He has also called for a new act replacing the Building Code of the Philippines. He was re-elected in 2025.
In November 2007, Pleyto was acquitted by the Supreme Court of charges of gross misconduct and dishonesty related to the alleged falsification of his Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN) from 1999 to 2001 during his tenure as Undersecretary of the Department of Public Works and Highways.
In September 2008, Pleyto was cleared of allegations of unexplained wealth after the Sandiganbayan dismissed the governmentâÂÂs forfeiture case against his family, citing insufficient evidence. The ruling affirmed that the properties and assets in question were legitimately acquired over decades.
Pleyto is married to Miguella Guballa Pleyto. They have three children: Salvador Pleyto Jr., Mary Grace Pleyto, and Russel Pleyto, who served as the mayor of Santa Maria from 2016 to 2022.
