MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) recorded a P30.09 billion in revenue in 2025, marking its strongest financial outing yet.
In a statement on Thursday, February 26, the PPA said that revenues increased by 8.86% from the year 2024.
The dividend declaration amounted to P5,334,158,018, which was more than half of the PPA’s earnings for 2025. This is the amount that will be remitted to the national government.
“With its consistent upward revenue trajectory, PPA is well-positioned to fund ongoing and upcoming port infrastructure projects aimed at enhancing trade facilitation, improving logistics efficiency, and supporting tourism growth. This is a reflection of our commitment to modernizing our ports, strategic reforms, and the collective effort of PPA employees and stakeholders,” PPA General Manager Jay Santiago said.
The PPA attributed its income surge to an increase in vessel traffic and cargo throughput, as well as higher storage revenues and higher regulatory income following tariff adjustments.
There were also favorable gains from dollar-dominated tariffs.
The PPA said that they have had a steady increase in performance since 2016, going from a revenue collection of P14.32 billion in 2016 to P27.64 billion in 2024.
