This bank had contributed about P28.06 billion or 28% higher than in 2018. GT Capital said that the growth of Metrobank is because of the net interest margin expansion to 3.84%, a 6.7 increase in receivables and loans, and strong trading and forex gains. Toyota Motor Philippines Corporation, on the other hand, had the second-highest contribution to the earnings of the company. It shared P9.08 billion or 15% higher than in 2018.

MPIC, FLI, and AXA
MPIC had a P23.86 billion net income or a 69% hike from 2018. This is because of the revenue increase in the hospital business, toll roads, and energy of MPIC. GT Capital’s property unit, Federal Land, Inc. (FLI), reported a 56% jump to P1.61 billion in 2019.

Finally, Philippine AXA Life Insurance Corporation recorded a growth of 23% to P2.37 billion. The unit had improvement in premium gains, higher investment income, and an increase in asset management.
