​THE Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) announced a historic P30.09 billion in revenue for 2025, the highest in the agency’s history. ​The PPA said the figure is an 8.86-percent increase from its 2024 earnings, according to an unaudited financial report. ​The announcement follows the PPA Board of Directors' approval to release P5.33 billion to the national government. ​The amount represents 52 percent of the PPA's net earnings for 2025, in compliance with Republic Act 7656. The law requires government-owned and controlled corporations to remit at least half of their annual net income as dividends. ​The PPA attributed the revenue growth to sustained increases in vessel traffic and cargo throughput, higher storage revenues, strengthened regulatory income following tariff adjustments, and favorable gains from dollar-denominated tariffs. ​PPA General Manager Jay Santiago noted that consistent revenue growth will help finance ongoing and future port infrastructure projects aimed at improving trade facilitation, logistics efficiency, and tourism connectivity. ​“With its consistent upward revenue trajectory, PPA is well-positioned to fund ongoing and upcoming port infrastructure projects aimed at enhancing trade facilitation, improving logistics efficiency, and supporting tourism growth,” Santiago said. ​Data from the agency showed total revenues rose from P14.32 billion in 2016 to P27.64 billion in 2024, while regulatory income increased from P6.82 billion to P15.68 billion over the same period.
