Belle Corporation, a company that builds and operates resorts and entertainment properties in the Philippines (trading as BEL in the Philippine Stock Exchange), announced that it made more money in the first three months of 2026 compared to the same period last year, according to a disclosure filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 27, 2026.
What Are the Numbers?
Think of profit like your allowance after you’ve paid for all your expenses. Belle Corporation’s “take-home” money (called net income) reached Php524 million from January to March 2026. This is 13% more than the Php462 million they earned during the same months in 2025.
The company’s total revenues (all the money coming in before paying expenses) also increased by 9%, going from Php1.30 billion in early 2025 to Php1.42 billion in early 2026.
Where Does Belle Make Its Money?
Belle Corporation has different ways of earning money, similar to how you might earn from different chores or activities:
- City of Dreams Manila: Belle owns a big casino and resort property in Manila’s Entertainment City. They rent out this property to another company called Melco, and they also get a share of the money made from casino games. Their share from gaming revenues went up by 12% to Php486 million (compared to Php433 million last year). The rent money they receive stayed steady at Php588 million.
- Tagaytay Highlands: This is a resort area south of Metro Manila where Belle sells properties and runs exclusive clubs. Money from selling real estate here jumped by 57%, reaching Php143 million (compared to Php91 million in 2025). They also provide electricity and water to this area, earning Php72 million, which is 18% more than the Php61 million from last year.
- Pacific Online Systems: This is another company that Belle partly owns (50.1% through their subsidiary). It brought in stable revenues of Php129 million for the quarter.
