MANILA, Philippines — Several of the Philippines’ wealthiest families and individuals climbed the ranks of Forbes' list of the 50 richest Filipinos, released Thursday, August 7.
The top five richest individuals maintained their positions from 2024, but movement was more apparent further down the list — especially within the top 20.
Among the most notable climbers is the Que Azcona family, owners of drugstore chain Mercury Drug, who vaulted to 6th place in 2025 with a net worth of $3.6 billion (P205.7 billion). In 2024, the family patriarch Vivian Que Azcona was ranked 14th with $1.7 billion (P97.1 billion).
The Zobel de Ayala family moved up one slot to 7th place this year, with a net worth of $3.4 billion (P193.9 billion), up from $2.6 billion (P148.3 billion) in 2024.
Also advancing a spot were the Ty siblings, owners of Metrobank, who now sit at 11th place with $2.8 billion (P159.7 billion). They held the 12th position last year with $1.85 billion (P105.5 billion).
Century Pacific Foods’ Po family rose from 15th to 13th place with a net worth of $1.9 billion.
Meanwhile, Dennis Anthony and Maria Grace Uy—the couple behind Converge ICT—jumped from 19th to 16th, thanks to a 74% increase in their net worth to $1.6 billion. Forbes attributed their rise to growth in the country’s internet sector.
