Filinvest Development Corp. (FDC), the investment vehicle of the Gotianun family, is signaling a continued push for expansion following record-breaking performance last year.

- By JAMES A. LOYOLA

FDC Chief Operating Officer Ysmael V. Baysa said the conglomerate aims to sustain its growth trajectory by maintaining high levels of capital investment, even as it pivots its focus from a cooling real estate market toward renewable energy projects.

Baysa said that the company anticipates another year of robust profit growth, building on the 21 percent increase in net income reported in the first nine months of 2025.

While acknowledging that 2026 presents a more challenging macroeconomic environment, Baysa said they remain optimistic about the outlook for the group’s diversified portfolio, particularly its banking, power, and sugar segments.
