The top 5: Sy and family owns SM Prime Holdings, SM malls, and Banco de Oro, the country’s largest bank in assets.

casino at the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp's Entertainment City.
A. Tan owns Megaworld, other big projects; diversified interests.
Gokongwei family owns Cebu Pacific, Robinsons malls, Mini Stop convenience stores, Universal Robina, many others.

Aboitiz are into power generation, others.
Zobel and family owns Ayala Land, Ayala malls, Globe telecom, Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI).

Meanwhile, some people complain that the wealth of Henry Sy and family alone is already X percent of GDP or the entire output of the Philippines, public and private, for one year. This is a terribly wrong analysis. The wealth of Sy and other tycoons were built over a period of three or four decades or even longer while GDP is national output for one year. The numerator is big because it is accumulated wealth for many years whereas the denominator is output for one year. They are incomparable.
