Not to be harsh, but sometimes a flight tries to close the boarding gate early due to multiple reasons (upcoming weather, traffic at destination, runway slot congestion etc) and the onus is on the passenger to be at the gate area to hear announcements. It sounds like it was an "on time" departure and therefore you missed the flight. The airline could have told you to buy a new ticket as that was really all they were required to do. Airport monitors are often managed by the airport authority for multiple airlines. It is not the authoritive source of info. It is the Dominican Republic after all.
