PHINMA announces initiatives expanding reach to the underserved
PHINMA Corporation (“PHN” or the “Company”) announced a series of initiatives to expand its businesses and extend access to essential services for underserved families and communities across the Philippines.
At the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting last April 17, PHINMA outlined how these initiatives will support sustained growth while improving access to education, construction materials, housing, and hospitality.
PHINMA Education Holdings Inc. (PHINMA Education), the largest private tertiary education network in Southeast Asia, expanded further with the acquisition of Southeastern College, its 14th school. The acquisition extends access to affordable, quality tertiary education in Pasay City and Southern Luzon, alongside ongoing efforts to strengthen student completion and success across the network.
Responding to national demand for high-quality construction materials, Philcement Corp. is expanding PHINMA’s cement business with the support of a recent investment from Sumitomo Osaka Cement, a Japanese partner with whom PHINMA shares a deep-rooted relationship anchored on technical expertise and support for the development of the Philippine cement manufacturing industry. This year, Philcement will also launch a new cement terminal in Panabo, Davao del Norte, to be operated by its subsidiary, Philcement Mindanao Corp, a joint venture with the Floirendos’ ANFLOCOR Group.
Union Insulated Panel Corp. (UIPC) and PHINMA Solar Energy Corp. (PSEC) will scale up integrated solutions that contribute towards expanding the country’s cold storage infrastructure and renewable energy access. In July, UIPC will begin operations at its Porac, Pampanga facility, which is designed to produce more than one million square meters of insulated panels each year.
Union Galvasteel Corp. continues to innovate its core steel solutions to better meet the evolving needs of both the residential and commercial construction markets. Building on over six decades of industry experience under the Union brand, the company will also focus on delivering more accessible and durable roofing and cladding products.
PHINMA Property Holdings Inc. will further develop the Group’s Bacolod City township, Saludad. Reflecting PHINMA’s commitment to regional progress and the strength of the synergies of its businesses, Saludad includes the first campus of Southwestern University PHINMA outside Cebu City and PHINMA Hospitality’s lifestyle brand TRYP by Wyndham Bacolod, which broke ground in March.
PHINMA Community Housing (PHINMA CoHo) is driven towards providing low-income workers quality, dignified homes that they can call their own. Following its November 2025 groundbreaking in Davao City, PHINMA CoHo is looking to launch its first socialized housing project in Tugbok later this year. The company also looks to expand to other cities with growing workforces such as Bacolod City.
PHINMA Hospitality continues to expand its network of hotels nationwide to serve more business and leisure travelers. In January, the company reinforced its partnership with the ANFLOCOR Group, through Damosa Land Inc., during the groundbreaking of TRYP by Wyndham Samal, its first venture into the condotel market. PHINMA Hospitality is also increasing Microtel by Wyndham Mall of Asia’s capacity to better meet steady demand for meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE).
Together, these initiatives reflect PHINMA’s focus on building businesses that meet real needs while supporting long‑term national development.
PHINMA Corporation ended 2025 with consolidated revenues of P22.84 billion and a consolidated net income of P327 million.
“This is our passion, your Company’s passion — looking for ways to reach the underserved and underprivileged and support our nation’s development through profitable businesses. We count our success not only in terms of pesos and centavos, but also in lives transformed,” said PHINMA President and Chief Operating Officer Dr. Chito B. Salazar.
