Filinvest Group celebrated its 70th anniversary with a milestone event that bridges business, tourism, and innovation—the launch of Night Golf at Mimosa Plus in Clark, Pampanga. The invitational tournament brought together Filinvest executives, business leaders, and media partners to mark both the company’s remarkable legacy and its continued investment in Clark’s growth.
“This reaffirms our strong commitment to Clark. We believe in its potential and have much more planned for this area. We see Clark as a key driver of economic growth, tourism, and innovation, and we’re excited to be part of that journey,” said Filinvest Development Corporation Chairman Jonathan T. Gotianun, addressing guests at the event.
The celebration was part of Filinvest’s year-long anniversary celebration, reflecting its transformation from a small financing business in 1955 into a diversified conglomerate spanning multiple industries vital to national development.
A Legacy of enabling dreams
In 2025, Filinvest is celebrating its enduring mission: to enable Filipinos to achieve their dreams. Founders Andrew and Mercedes Gotianun built their business on the principles of hard work, resilience, and trust—values that remain at the core of Filinvest today. Across generations, the company has been a trusted partner in turning aspirations into reality.
“Filinvest has grown into a diversified group, allowing us to make an impact across different industries and communities. But at the core of everything we do is one shared goal: to give people opportunities to achieve their own dreams. That’s what drives us—whether in real estate, banking, power, hospitality, infrastructure, or sugar,” Gotianun said.
Clark: A thriving tourism and economic hub
The launch of Night Golf at Mimosa Plus was more than just an enhancement of its leisure offerings—it was a strategic investment in Clark’s long-term growth.
Mimosa Plus Golf Course, home to a state-of-the-art Golf Academy with a 48-bay driving range, has served as the centerpiece of Filinvest Mimosa Plus Leisure City. The estate also features Quest Plus Conference Center Clark, Work Plus Office Campus, Mequeni Live, Baker J Cafe, Rare Bar & Grill, and the Mimosa Plus Driving Range and Golf Academy.
Further expanding its presence, Filinvest will soon introduce Filinvest Malls Mimosa, spanning 21,000 square meters of gross leasable area, along with new restaurant concepts at Filinvest Shoppes Mimosa. A new 326-room, 5-star Crimson Hotel is likewise slated to open in 2028. These developments reinforce Filinvest’s commitment to enhancing Clark’s tourism appeal, creating jobs, and driving economic growth in Central Luzon.
A commitment to sustainability and innovation
Mimosa Plus Golf Course stands as a symbol of both sustainability and world-class golfing excellence, being the first GEO-certified golf course in the Philippines—a recognition for environmentally responsible course management. The course incorporates eco-friendly design principles such as water conservation, biodiversity preservation, and sustainable turf management, ensuring harmony with Clark’s natural landscape.
“Mimosa Golf is a project that’s close to our hearts. We wanted to design it sustainably, but more than that, we wanted to make it accessible—so that more people can experience a world-class golf course. Seeing it come to life and welcoming more players here has been incredibly fulfilling,” Gotianun added.
Looking ahead with optimism
The launch event concluded with a grand toast and fireworks display, celebrating Filinvest’s past achievements while setting the stage for its next era of expansion and innovation.
“None of this would have been possible without the support of our partners,” added Gotianun. “Your trust and collaboration over the years mean so much to us. As we mark 70 years, we do so with deep gratitude. With your continued support, we look forward to what’s ahead with optimism and excitement.”
The introduction of Night Golf at Mimosa Plus marks another step in Filinvest’s ongoing commitment to enhancing tourism, creating employment opportunities, and contributing to local economic growth.
