Filinvest REIT’s Profit Jumps to P1.3 Billion during January-September 2026 period

Real estate investment trust Filinvest REIT Corp. (FILRT) saw its profit jump 28% to P1.3 billion during the January-September 2026 period and the figure includes revenues from the full-year ownership of Festival Mall (main mall) in Alabang, Muntinlupa City, according to a business news report by The Manila Times.

FILRT’s portfolio consists of seventeen office buildings, one shopping mall and one resort lot, with a combined gross leasable area of more than 450,000 square meters. The entity is also one the top taxpayers in Muntinlupa City.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt of the report of The Manila Times. Some parts in boldface…

FILINVEST REIT Corp. (FILRT) posted a 28-percent increase in net income to P1.3 billion in the first nine months of 2026, supported by higher revenues following the full-year contribution of Festival Main Mall to its property portfolio.

The real estate investment trust on Wednesday reported revenues of P3 billion from January to September, up 18 percent from P2.54 billion in the same period last year.

The latest earnings performance builds on the 15-percent growth in net income FILRT recorded in the first nine months of 2025, when profit reached P1.02 billion from P893 million in the previous year.

The company attributed its revenue growth mainly to the full-year contribution of Festival Main Mall, which was added to its portfolio in May 2025.

Costs and expenses increased by a slower 4 percent to P986 million, while other charges declined 1 percent to P279 million during the nine-month period.

FILRT’s average portfolio occupancy remained at 86 percent in the first three quarters, unchanged from the same period last year.

Its office portfolio recorded an average occupancy rate of 79 percent, with multinational business process outsourcing companies accounting for 83 percent of office tenants. Traditional tenants accounted for 14 percent, while coworking, wellness and educational institutions made up the remainder.

During the third quarter, FILRT secured 5,651 square meters of new leases from incoming tenants and existing occupants expanding their leased spaces at Northgate Cyberzone in Alabang. This brought its year-to-date new leases to 11,714 square meters.

The company also renewed all 20,689 square meters of leases expiring this year, bringing the portfolio’s weighted average lease expiry at 13.95 years as of end-September.

With the improved earnings, FILRT’s board approved a quarterly cash dividend of P0.06 per outstanding common share, covering income earned from July to September. Shareholders on record as of Nov. 24 will receive the dividend on Dec. 2.

The latest declaration brings FILRT’s total dividends declared for 2026 to P0.24 per share, equivalent to an annualized yield of 8.5 percent based on its closing share price of P2.84 on Oct. 30.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What do you think of this development? Do you think FILRT has a bright future of growth even though the economy of the Philippines continues to get weaker? Do you think FILRT will continue to contribute a lot to the economy of Muntinlupa City over the next five years?

Festival Mall ushers in Christmas in Alabang

Festival Mall ushers in Christmas in Alabang

carlocarrasco

This past Friday, the Christmas season in Alabang was ushered in by Festival Mall with a lot of excitement during the annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony which unveiled a giant Christmas tree presented in partnership with POP MART.

The event officially launched “The Magic of Christmas” celebration in Alabang and in attendance were top officials of the City Government of Muntinlupa, Filinvest executives, Festival Mall itself and many other invited guests.

I myself attended the Christmas tree lighting ceremony which was organized with a lot of excitement and it executed a fresh creative spin on the holiday tradition. Seated at front row were Muntinlupa City Mayor Ruffy Biazon, Vice Mayor Stephanie “Phanie” Galan Teves-Wong, Filinvest Hospitality Corporation CEO Francis Gotianun and Festival Mall General Manager Yvette Dizon. Near me were Donna Santiago of South Snippets, some local business owners, bloggers, vloggers and members of the press. Unsurprisingly, there were a lot of spectators who viewed the ceremony.

Filinvest Hospitality Corporation CEO Francis Gotianun spoke to the attendees.

“The reason why we celebrate Christmas is Jesus Christ. And for that, there should be enough reasons for us to celebrate and be happy and thankful,” Mayor Biazon said when he delivered his remarks. “The message we would like to share to the people is that we should be thankful. Whether it is small or large we receive, we have to be grateful for the blessings we receive from God.”

“At Festival Mall, we always wanted to be more than just a shopping destination. We want to be a place for families and friends who come together enjoying new experiences, celebrate special occasions, or simply spend quality time with each other. What better time to celebrate than Christmas? This year, we are bringing to you the unboxing of the magic of Christmas made even more exciting in partnership with POP MART,” Filinvest Hospitality Corporation CEO Francis Gotianun said.

Vice Mayor Teves-Wong also delivered her remarks.

After the important words shared by the special guests, a short stage presentation was held telling a short story about Christmas emphasizing the suspense and mystery that come with receiving gifts during the season.

After that, the exciting countdown and formal lighting of the giant Christmas tree happened, and you can watch the short clip by clicking https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1EtLcyw1m6/

A meet-and-greet with Santa Claus followed and several children (who were from the City Government and its Social Services Department and others from the Down Syndrome Association of the Philippines) received gifts one by one. The invited guests were treated with a Christmas buffet and free-flowing drinks.

Festival Mall’s legacy of Christmas and giving – Festival Mall, which first opened in May 1998 and remains a strong shopping and lifestyle destination in South Metro Manila, is the flagship of Filinvest Malls, the retail business unit of Filinvest Land, Inc. Its Christmas celebration carries the mother brand’s message of community and connection into a place where families and friends come together to shop, dine, and spend time with one another. The partnership with POP MART for the November 6 Christmas tree lighting ceremony placed character-based creativity at the center of Festival Mall’s Christmas story.

Along the way, the mall held its 3rd Season of Sharing in partnership with the City Government of Muntinlupa and its Social Services Department. Several children endorsed by the City Government were welcomed at Festival Mall for a special day of fun that includes arcade gaming, amusement rides, meals and the receiving of Christmas gifts. The sharing reflected the mall’s commitment to being an active and caring community partner. Festival Mall hopes to share not only gifts but also meaningful experiences and memories, reminding everyone that the spirit of Christmas is also about extending kindness and making others feel valued.

“For me, if we can make even one child smile, give someone a reason to feel happy, or make a family’s Christmas a little more special, then we’ve already done something meaningful,” said General Manager Yvette Dizon.

Christmas experience this year – For the 2026 Christmas season, Festival Mall is reviving Rhythm & Lights 4 on December 12 which is a Christmas musical celebration in a festive gathering. The said event will give shoppers and visitors a new opportunity to come together and enjoy the season through live performances.

With its Christmas tree as a meeting point with shopping, dining, and leisure experiences around it, Festival Mall is inviting visitors to make their next holiday gathering part of “The Magic of Christmas” at Filinvest Malls.

In ending this post, I want to point to what Mayor Biazon said about Jesus being the reason we celebrate Christmas. Lord Jesus is the hope of ALL nations. To learn more about the Him and His eternal holiness, I encourage you all to grab the Holy Bible and read the following references: Isaiah 9:6, John 3:16, John 6:26-40, Matthew 2:1-2, John 5:19-23 and John 8:12. This Christmas, always be thankful to those who gifted you and also to the Lord. Honor and thank Him for all the blessings and happiness you received.

Filinvest City Aims High with New Alabang District

Filinvest City Aims High with New Alabang District

carlocarrasco

Remember back in 2025 when it was announced that telecommunications giant PLDT will relocate its headquarters to Filinvest City? Filinvest City itself is now aiming high with its new Alabang district called The Quarter which is being developed beside the future PLDT campus and it is being prepared to attract commercial investment, according to a news article by Insider PH.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt of the Insider PH news article. Some parts in boldface…

Corporate investments and rising demand for commercial space are creating opportunities for further business expansion in southern Metro Manila, as Filinvest City seeks to attract enterprises to its established Alabang township.

Filinvest City has introduced The Quarter, a four-hectare mixed-use district designed to accommodate new businesses and support the township’s next phase of commercial development.

A township of 47,000 workers – The development is positioned beside the upcoming PLDT Campus, which is expected to accommodate approximately 5,000 employees. The concentration of corporate activity could generate demand for retail, dining, healthcare, hospitality and professional services.

The Quarter also offers commercial lots to businesses and investors seeking to establish operations near major employment centers. Filinvest City currently serves approximately 47,000 workers, more than 19,000 residents and 231,000 daily visitors.

The township’s existing population and commercial activity provide a potential customer base for enterprises considering expansion into the district.

Strategic location – The Quarter forms part of Filinvest City’s strategy to diversify its business ecosystem beyond traditional office developments.

Located near Asian Hospital and Medical Center, the district could accommodate healthcare-related enterprises, including private clinics, therapy centers and specialized treatment facilities.

Its location also provides access to the South Luzon Expressway, nearby educational institutions, residential communities and commercial establishments. A pedestrian bridge connecting The Quarter to the future PLDT Campus is also planned.

‘New centers of opportunity’ – “Filinvest City’s growth has always been driven by the ability to identify and cultivate new centers of opportunity,” Filinvest Townships first vice president and head Don Ubaldo said in a press statement.

“Just as the Peza-registered hub Northgate Cyberzone helped establish the township in the 90’s as a leading destination for the IT-BPM industry, The Quarter is envisioned to be the epicenter of its next phase of evolution, creating a dynamic environment where enterprise and innovation can thrive together,” he added.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What do you think of this development? Do you think the new Alabang district called The Quarter will help Filinvest City attract more new investment and create both new jobs and more business opportunities in the years to come? Do you think Filinvest City will become to most vibrant and most progressive central business district (CBD) of the south by the year 2030?

Muntinlupa City Government Receives SGLG Incentive-funded Patient Transport Vehicle from DILG

Muntinlupa City Government Receives SGLG Incentive-funded Patient Transport Vehicle from DILG

carlocarrasco

Remember back in late-2024 when the City Government of Muntinlupa was declared a Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG) awardee by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG)? It connection with the 2024 SGLG award, the City Government received from the DILG a patient transportation vehicle (PTV) which was funded through the Seal of Good Local Governance Incentive Fund (SGLG IF), the DILG National Capital Region announced.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the DILG-NCR announcement. Some parts in boldface…

The Department of the Interior and Local Government–National Capital Region (DILG-NCR), through the DILG Muntinlupa Field Office, joined the Muntinlupa City Government in the turnover of a Patient Transport Vehicle (PTV) funded through the Seal of Good Local Governance Incentive Fund (SGLG IF) on September 17, 2026, at the Museo ng Muntinlupa, Barangay Tunasan, Muntinlupa City.

The PTV was provided to Muntinlupa City as an incentive for being conferred the CY 2024 Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG), recognizing the City Government’s performance in various areas of good governance and effective local service delivery.

The ceremony was attended by Muntinlupa City Mayor Hon. Rozzano Rufino B. Biazon; Dr. Carolyn H. Magalong of the City Health Office; DILG Muntinlupa Field Office Director Mary Anne B. Planas, CESO V; and DILG-NCR Project Development and Management Unit (PDMU) Chief Ronald R. Portales.

The newly acquired PTV will be utilized by the Muntinlupa City Health Office to strengthen the delivery of health and medical services, particularly in providing patient transport for Muntinlupeños in need of medical assistance and related services.

Mayor Biazon emphasized that the City Government opted to translate its SGLG incentive into a tangible investment that would directly benefit the community.

“Early this year, we provided five PTVs for Ospital ng Muntinlupa and the barangays, and recently, we distributed one new fire truck to each of the barangays. We hope that this new vehicle will be used efficiently and help serve more Muntinlupeños,” Mayor Biazon said.

The project demonstrates how the SGLG Incentive Fund can be transformed into concrete programs and projects that enhance local government service delivery and respond to the needs of communities.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, are you delighted that the City Government received the PTV? Do you think the City Government has enough PTVs to serve the constituents now?

Store Owner Files Voyeurism Complaint Against Student in Muntinlupa City

Store Owner Files Voyeurism Complaint Against Student in Muntinlupa City

carlocarrasco

Recently in the City of Muntinlupa, the owner of a Korean store filed a complaint of voyeurism against a student who has been caught on video taking upskirt pictures of her, according to a news report by the Manila Bulletin. More recently, the Mayor of Muntinlupa expressed support for the victim.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

A student in Muntinlupa is facing a complaint for voyeurism after being caught on video taking upskirt photos of a Korean store owner.

The victim, a businesswoman from Barangay Putatan, said the incident occurred on Sept. 21 inside her Korean store in Soldiers Hills.

The suspect posed as a customer and, while she was preparing his order, allegedly bumped her from behind. When she turned, she saw him intentionally taking photos of her intimate area.

She pretended not to notice and later reviewed CCTV footage in her office, confirming the act. She then asked a helper to seek assistance from the nearby barangay satellite office.

Barangay personnel responded, and the suspect allegedly admitted to committing the acts several times.

Although the parties were set to meet before the Lupon Tagapamayapa, the victim opted to file a direct complaint. She went to the Muntinlupa police’s Women and Children Protection Unit, which forwarded the case to the city prosecutor’s office.

For additional insight, watch the GMA News video below.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, do you think young adults who possess gadgets should be taught lessons to refrain from committing acts of voyeurism? Did you witness any incidents of voyeurism locally over the past six months?

Mayor Ruffy Biazon, who led the inauguration, said the MRF will handle segregation, recovery, recycling, and composting of market waste, noting that the public market generates one to two tons of garbage daily.

The facility includes a composting room, hazardous waste room, ecoshed for recyclables, residual containment area, rapid composting machine donated by the MMDA, receiving and sorting area, storage area, comfort room, pantry, and provision for an overhead water tank.
