First Metro Investment Corp. (First Metro) has announced the appointment of Antonio R. Ocampo Jr. as its new president and director effective July 1, 2024. Ocampo steps into the role following the retirement of Jose Patricio Dumlao, who led the company for four years.
Ocampo joins First Metro, the investment banking arm of the Metrobank Group, bringing with him over three decades of expertise in corporate and investment banking. His previous roles include serving as president and director of Orix Metro Leasing and Finance Corp., Orix Rental Corp., and Orix Auto Leasing Philippines Corp. He also spearheaded Metrobank’s Corporate Banking Group.
In his career before joining the Metrobank Group, Ocampo held several leadership positions.

“With Anthony’s extensive experience in investment and corporate banking and deep understanding of relationship management, we are confident that he can steer the company to achieve sustained growth and develop robust relationships with our clients,” said Mary Mylene Caparas, chair, First Metro.
Ocampo’s leadership comes at a time when First Metro is building on its resilience and market strength.
