MANILA — Jollibee Foods Corp. and GT Capital Holdings made it to this year’s\u00a0Forbes Asia\u2019s list of 50 \u201cfabulous\u201d companies in Asia-Pacific.<\/p>\n

The list which was highly dominated by Chinese companies is dubbed as the honor roll for some of the brightest stars in the business.<\/p>\n

Jollibee, which is led by Tony Tan Caktiong made it for the second time in the list following its strong sales in 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cFast-food behemoth makes the list for the second time,\u201d Forbes said.<\/p>\n

\u201cStarted as an ice cream shop in 1975, it now boasts more than 2,000 domestic locations and easily outnumbers McDonald\u2019s and KFC. Counts 2,933 eateries worldwide, with plans to open 330 this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, George Ty-owned GT Capital Holdings boasted its\u00a0power, auto and real estate operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecuring its first spot on the list, the company saw its shares rise by nearly 45 percent over the past year while its revenue was up by more than a third last year,\u201d Forbes said.<\/p>\n

\u201cStrong auto sales at its subsidiary, Toyota Motor Philippines, was the main reason.\u201d<\/p>\n

Companies from China dominated the list with\u00a025 names, up from\u00a016 last year, and more than any other country for the fifth year in a row.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
