This new partnership with a reputable international lender will bring forth wider recognition for CFFC as a preferred destination for capital looking to have a meaningful impact on unbanked and financially underserved Filipino households.

Metro Pacific Health Corporation (“MPH”), the Philippines’ largest private hospital group, acquired a controlling stake in Diliman Doctors Hospital, Inc. (“DDHI”) on October 10, 2024.  DDHI is a young and fast-growing hospital, having just started operations in 2018 and establishing itself as the ‘hospital of choice’ in Northern Quezon City. DDHI has a built-up capacity of 165 beds, sitting on close to 5,000 sqm of land fronting Commonwealth Avenue and more than 16,000 sqm behind it for surface parking and future expansion.

DDHI is MPH’s 26th hospital investment in the country, and the 5th hospital sale transaction arranged by GIV Capital acting as the Sellers’ Advisor.  GIV Capital’s role in DDHI’s development began in 2019 by arranging a Php1.0Billion 10yr term loan facility, which proved instrumental for the Hospital’s growth despite the COVID-19 pandemic. The sale by the Founders came after a humble realization that the capital and operational expertise needed to fully actualize the grand vision for DDHI may well be beyond their personal capabilities and called for a strong institutional partner like MPH.

Ada Manufacturing Corporation (Adamco) is a nationwide distributor of agricultural machinery including combine harvesters, tractors, and transplanters.  From its origins in the rice-growing province of Isabela in northern Luzon, Adamco has expanded its presence to all fertile farmlands around the country as it pursues the grand vision of uplifting the lives of farmers through mechanization.

This pursuit received a boost by the enactment of the Rice Tariffication Law in 2019, which allowed the national government to engage with the private sector to procure sorely needed agricultural equipment and distribute them directly to farmers in key regions.  Recognizing the need for outside funding to meet the growing needs of the market, Adamco engaged GIV Capital in 2021 to arrange a Php1.5 Billion loan syndication in a challenging credit environment still reeling from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Development Bank of the Philippines, Security Bank Corporation, and KEB Hana Manila Branch were successfully tapped to provide Adamco the required capital.  Over and above the immediate requirement, the relationship forged between Adamco and a government financial institution, a private blue chip universal bank, and a multinational bank provides Adamco with a diverse and well-connected funding base that will serve it well in the long term.

Following approval from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), in March 2019, City Savings Bank, Inc. (CSB) of the UnionBank group completed the merger with PR Savings Bank (PRSB), with CSB as the surviving entity.  CSB acquired 100% ownership of PRSB, then the 15th largest thrift bank in terms of assets, from the Ropali Group of Companies.   The acquisition enabled CSB’s entry into the burgeoning market of motorcycle financing.
