Half of them were founded in 1987 or later. The most common headquarters are Makati (5) and Quezon City (2).

These Philippine companies are large critical infrastructure operators. Most are financial services firms, with a strong presence of banks. Notable examples include Pru Life UK, which provides health and wealth protection solutions, and Security Bank Corporation, which operates various banking services. Other major players are Globe Telecom, a full-service telecommunications company, and Philippine Airlines, a carrier operating 70 routes globally.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
