The Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC) has delivered a major financial boost to the country by remitting a record-breaking ₱585.71 million in dividends to the National Treasury. Representing 60 percent of the company’s 2025 net income, this massive payout is an 88 percent increase from the previous year, highlighting the aviation firm’s rapid financial growth and sharp operational efficiency.
By sending this amount, CIAC actually went above and beyond the legal requirement. While the country’s Dividend Law only mandates state-run firms to give 50 percent of their earnings—which would have been around ₱488 million for CIAC—the corporation stepped up to meet a Department of Finance request for higher contributions. CIAC president and CEO Jojit Alcazar credited this stellar financial health to smarter fiscal management, a welcoming environment for business investors, and strong strategic partnerships aimed at building up the Clark Aviation Capital.
During the recent GOCCs’ Day celebration, President Marcos praised state-run companies for their vital role in supporting the nation without putting extra tax burdens on everyday citizens. He emphasized that these exact dividends will directly fund essential public projects like classrooms, housing, and farm-to-market roads for farmers and fishermen. Looking ahead, CIAC expects its contributions to grow even further as it rolls out seven flagship projects under its 2,367-hectare hub, turning the area into a premier economic center for logistics, commerce, and sustainable jobs.
