BDO nets P40.6B in H1 2025, up 3%
In a statement on Monday, BDO said its first half net income grew by 3% from P39.4 billion in the same period last year.
The bank said its bottom line growth was tempered by the continuing investments in market coverage and IT spending for operational efficiency.
BDO reported its net interest income rose by 7% as gross customer loans climbed by 14% to P3.4 trillion, 'with broad-based growth across all market segments.'
Meanwhile, deposits widened by 8% to hit P4 trillion, with a Current Account/Savings Account (CASA) ratio of 69%.
The bank added its non-interest income, likewise, grew by 15%, driven by the significant contributions from fee-based income and income from insurance operations.
The Sy-led lender said it is set to issue its fourth ASEAN Sustainability Bonds on July 29, 2025 with a minimum aggregate issue size of P5 billion.
'Originally set to run from July 9 to 22, 2025, the strong demand from both retail and institutional investors prompted the early closing of the offer on July 14, 2025,' it said.
'The net proceeds will be used to finance and/or refinance eligible projects and further support the growth of the Bank's sustainable portfolio,' it added.
Amid global uncertainties arising from geopolitical tensions and the imposition of US tariffs, BDO said that the Philippines is expected to remain resilient, supported by its consumer-driven economy and sustained domestic demand.
'Likewise, the bank remains well-positioned to manage emerging risks and capitalize on opportunities given its robust capital base and diversified business franchise,' the lender said. —VAL GMA Integrated News

MPIC posts P15-billion core net income in H1, up 20%
Pangilinan-led conglomerate Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC) saw a 20% growth in its core net income in the first half of 2025 to P15 billion from P12.5 billion in the same period in 2024. MPIC attributed its earning growth to improved performance across its portfolio with contributions from units' operation rising 18% to P17.5 billion on the back of robust growth in Meralco's power generation business, the implementation of higher tariffs at Maynilad, and rising patient volumes across the Metro Pacific Hospitals network. MPIC's power business, led by Meralco, continued to contribute the largest share at P11.2 billion or 64%. The conglomerate said its water and toll roads business contributed P3.8 billion and P3.3 billion, respectively, accounting for 41%. 'Our performance in the first half of the year reflects the continued resilience and strength of our businesses. We've seen meaningful contributions from power, water, and toll roads—sectors that are fundamental to the country's development,' said MPIC chairman, president, and CEO Manuel Pangilinan. 'Beyond financial performance, we are sharpening our focus on long-term value creation by scaling investments in areas where we can make the greatest impact—energy, food security, and inclusive infrastructure. The momentum is encouraging, and we intend to continue building on it,' he added. — Ted Cordero/BM, GMA Integrated News

SG aircraft repair provider SIA Engineering to operate in NAIA
Singaporean aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) provider SIA Engineering Company Limited (SIAEC) is setting up shop at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), expanding its presence in the country through its local unit SIA Engineering (Philippines) Corporation (SIAEP). In a statement, NAIA operator San Miguel-backed New NAIA Infra Corporation (NNIC) announced that SIAEP, which is already operating in Clark, will begin MRO service operations at NAIA by September. SIAEP's parent SIAC is majority owned by Singapore Airlines Group. NNIC said SIAEP's decision to expand to the country's main gateway 'reflects growing confidence in the airport's ongoing improvements and its potential to become a stronger hub for aviation services.' The San Miguel-led airport operator said SIAEP's entry into NAIA is seen to benefit not only local carriers, but the broader aviation industry as it opens up more opportunities for skills development, knowledge transfer, and jobs in aircraft maintenance. 'This is a big boost for NAIA and for Philippine aviation. We welcome SIAEP and look forward to working closely with them to improve support for airlines operating here,' said Ramon Ang, president and CEO of NNIC. The presence of SIAEP at NAIA will help provide faster aircraft turnaround and improved technical support, benefitting both airlines and passengers, according to NNIC. The NAIA operator added that major MRO companies have also expressed interest in establishing a presence at NAIA. With more players coming in, airlines will have more choices, leading to better service options and greater overall efficiency. 'This is part of our broader push to raise NAIA's standards and make it a better, more reliable gateway not only for travelers, but for the aviation industry as a whole,' added Ang. —VAL, GMA Integrated News
