In a report to the CDC Board of Directors, President Noel F. Manankil said that the Freeport’s revenue in 2017 represented 27 percent of the P3.801-billion income generated for the first 23 years of CDC's operations.

He added that CDC also remitted cash dividends of more than P2.5-billion to the National Treasury covering the period of 1993 to 2016.

Manankil said that CDC posted a 20 percent growth in its gross revenues for 2017, earning P 1.98-billion.

He said that there were 54 additional locators that were registered last year, bringing to 949 the total number of locator-firms in 2017.
