What started as a small financing business in a modest shophouse in Quiapo has grown into one of the Philippines' leading conglomerates—Filinvest Development Corporation (FDC).

In 2025, Filinvest Group marks its 70th anniversary, not just celebrating its legacy and longevity but reaffirming its enduring mission: to enable Filipinos to achieve their dreams. Across generations, the company has been a steadfast partner in turning aspirations into reality and making life’s experiences more meaningful and memorable—whether it’s owning a first home, securing loans or building your savings to make your dream a reality, powering communities to thrive or bringing your family to their first hotel or resort stay.

A story rooted in the everyday Filipino dream

Filinvest Group’s legacy is one that mirrors the dreams of many Filipinos—starting from humble beginnings, taking bold risks, and continuously innovating for a better future. The company’s founders, Andrew and Mercedes Gotianun, built their business on the principles of hard work, resilience, and trust—values that continue to shape Filinvest today.
