GT Capital leaps to 7th place among Philippines firms in Fortune 500 list

MANILA, Philippines — GT Capital Holdings Inc., the holding company of the Ty Group, welcomed its inclusion and strong position in the 2025 Fortune Southeast Asia 500 list.

GT Capital secured the seventh spot among Philippine companies on the annual list, which ranks the largest companies in the region in terms of total revenues.

Region-wide, GT Capital climbed 13 spots to 61st place across the top 500 Southeast Asian companies.

In the same list, GT Capital’s associate bank Metropolitan Bank & Trust Co. placed 96th overall and 14th in the Philippines, up 12 slots in Southeast Asia and retaining its place in the Philippine rankings from 2024.

Another associate, Metro Pacific Investments Corp., also earned a spot at 227th in Southeast Asia and 30th in the Philippines.

GT Capital chief financial officer and treasurer George Uy-Tioco Jr. said the recognition reflects the conglomerate’s unwavering focus on innovation and long-term economic impact.

“Being ranked among the most esteemed companies in the Southeast Asian region is a true testament to GT Capital’s commitment to excellence and our leadership in the industry,” Uy-Tioco said.

“This reaffirms the group’s strong fundamentals across diversified sectors, reflecting both the hard work and dedication of our people, as well as the positive momentum of the Philippine economy,” he said.

GT Capital posted strong 2024 financial results, reporting total revenues of P321.5 billion, up by five percent year-on-year excluding non-recurring gains.

Its robust performance was mainly attributed to record earnings of its operating companies Metrobank and Toyota Motor Philippines.
