Filinvest Development Corp. (FDC) and its subsidiaries earned more than a hundred local and international awards in 2025, with its power arm FDC Misamis Power Corp. (FDC MPC) singled out for recognitions tied to community engagement and stakeholder partnerships in Mindanao.

In a statement, the Filinvest Group said the awards span corporate governance, sustainability, workplace practices, and sector-specific performance across its diversified portfolio, which includes real estate, banking, power and utilities, hospitality, sugar, and infrastructure.

In the energy space, FDC MPC received multiple commendations from the PHIVIDEC Industrial Authority as well as from local schools and civic institutions, reflecting what the group described as sustained collaboration with host communities and industry stakeholders. FDC MPC operates the 405-megawatt circulating fluidized bed coal-fired power plant in Misamis Oriental, a key baseload facility serving Mindanao’s grid.

Across the listed companies under the group, FDC, EastWest Bank, Filinvest REIT Corp., and Filinvest Land Inc. were among recipients of Golden Arrow Awards from the Institute of Corporate Directors, citing adherence to corporate governance and disclosure standards.
