MANILA, Philippines — Two new Philippine companies have made it to the prestigious Fortune Southeast Asia 500, which ranks the region’s largest firms by revenue. The additions bring the country’s total to 40 entries in this year’s list.
New to the index are Metro Pacific Investments Corp., a diversified infrastructure conglomerate chaired by business leader Manuel V. Pangilinan, and Nickel Asia Corp., a mining company led by the Zamora family that has benefited from strong global demand for metals.
They join the ranks of major Filipino conglomerates, banks, retailers, and consumer firms on the yearly list.
DigiPlus Interactive marks the biggest leap by any Filipino firm — jumping 259 spots from No. 482 in 2024.
Ayala Corp., at No. 47, similarly rose 23 notches from its previous rank, following a record year for the conglomerate.
Bloomberry Resorts, meanwhile, climbed 18 spots to No. 289 after launching its second Solaire resort in Quezon City.
