BPI Launches ₱5-Billion SIGLA Bonds to Support Inclusive Growth and Social Development

The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) has successfully priced its ₱5-billion peso-denominated fixed-rate BPI Supporting Individuals Grow, Lead, and Achieve Bonds, or BPI SIGLA Bonds, with an option to upsize amid expected investor demand. The issuance represents the second tranche under BPI’s ₱200-billion Bond and Commercial Paper Program approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors in October 2024.

The BPI SIGLA Bonds will be issued at par and will carry a fixed interest rate of 5.405% per annum, gross of applicable taxes, payable on a quarterly basis. The public offer period is scheduled from January 26 to February 4, 2026, with a minimum investment amount of ₱500,000 and additional investments in increments of ₱100,000. The bonds are expected to be issued and listed on the Philippine Dealing & Exchange Corp. on February 13, 2026.

With a tenor of two years, the BPI SIGLA Bonds have been officially designated as “ASEAN Social Bonds,” following affirmation by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 18, 2025. Net proceeds from the offer will be used to finance or refinance eligible social projects under BPI’s Sustainable Funding Framework, in line with ASEAN Social Bond Standards, reinforcing the Bank’s commitment to inclusive and responsible growth.

BPI Capital Corporation and ING Bank N.V., Manila Branch are serving as Joint Lead Arrangers and Selling Agents for the offering. Through the SIGLA Bonds, BPI continues to expand opportunities for investors to participate in initiatives that support social development while delivering stable, peso-denominated returns.
