Business World Philippines
|September 25, 2025
ASIALINK Finance Corp. has released P525.148 million in loans to over 1,000 entrepreneurs under its lending program for women-led businesses, its top official said on Wednesday.
-
Asialink President and Chief Executive Officer Samuel Z. Cariño said the company has approved 876 loans under its Women's Access to Inclusive Support (WAIS) Loan program that was launched in June.
Nearly half of the total were car loans amounting to P250.3 million, followed by truck loans worth P70.1 million, Mr. Cariño said at an event on Wednesday, where Asialink introduced actress Jolina Magdangal as its first WAIS loan ambassador.
"We also see steady demand for brand new vehicle loans, both cars and trucks, proving that WAIS is flexible enough to support different needs whether for mobility, logistics, or business expansion," he added.
The WAIS Loan program allows women-led micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to borrow up to P20 million with interest rates as low as 0.99%.

Bright spot in a gloomy 3rd quarter
The 4% growth of GDP in the third quarter of the current year has dampened the mood of investors. This is way below the government's target of 5.5% to 6.5% for the whole of 2025. Most analysts attribute this below-average growth rate to the corruption scandal that exploded during the third quarter and the natural calamities such as earthquakes and super typhoons that occurred during the quarter.
