Like many other young countries today, the Philippines has formed semi-government firms, both to help its young industries and to increase the opportunities for employment among its citizens.

Among these were the Manila Railroad Company, the Manila Hotel, the National Development Company, the Cebu Portland Company the Philippine National Bank, and the National Trading Corporation.
