FOREWORD
The 2008 Manual of Regulations for Non-Bank Financial Institutions (MORNBFI) is
an updated compilation of regulations and policies issued by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas
(BSP) for financial institutions under its supervision. Available in hard and soft copies, it is a
convenient reference and guide for said financial institutions in the conduct of their operations.
The updated MORNBFI incorporates regulatory policies issued to align banking
practices on risk management, good corporate governance, and capital adequacy, accounting
and reporting with international standards. It also includes rules implementing legislative
reform measures, the more significant of which are the General Banking Law of 2000, the
Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001 and the Special Purpose Vehicle Act of 2002.
In providing easy access to this information, the updated MORNBFI seeks to facilitate
compliance with the supervisory and regulatory requirements of BSP that will contribute to
the enhancement of its partnership with financial institutions under its supervision, and
ultimately to the strengthening of the Philippine Banking System and the economy.
FOREWORD
Soon after the establishment of the new Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the
Monetary Board recognized the need to revise and regularly update the Manual of
Regulations for Banks and Other Financial Intermediaries to enable the industry to better
keep pace with the anticipated rapid regulatory changes that are unavoidable in a dynamic
economic enviroment. A revised Manual would also be able to appropriately take into
account the strenghtened supervisory and regulatory arrangements set out in the BSPs
new charter.
This Manual of Regulations for Non-Bank Financial Institutions is one of the products
of that effort. It benefits from the inputs of many concerned departments of the BSP as well
as the various industry associations of non-bank financial institutions. We are hopeful that
this new Manual and its subsequent updates will be able to more effectively disseminate
the regulatory issuances of the BSP on a timely basis and provide appropriate guidance to
non-bank financial institutions.
We also believe that it will be a especially useful tool at this time when the BSP has
come up with many regulations and issuances in response to the unprecedented challenges
posed by the Asian financial crisis.
Nevertheless, we recognize that there will always be room for improvement. Our
task is therefore a continuing one of constant search for a better product to provide more
responsive services to the public.

PREFACE
The Manual of Regulations for Non-Bank Financial Institutions (the New Manual)
is not only an updated edition but also a revision of the present Manual of Regulations for
Banks and Other Financial Intermediaries, Book IV (the Old Manual). Its adoption was
impelled by certain considerations, namely: (1) that the Central Bank of the Philippines as
the administrative agency of the monetary, banking and credit system which promulgated
the Old Manual has been replaced by the Bangko Sentral Ng Pilipinas (BSP) as the central
monetary authority and (2) that the Old Manual was last updated as of 31 December 1989
and since that time, significant developments in the statutory law and the financial system
of the country have rendered many of its provisions obsolete or irrelevant.
To accomplish the work of proposing revisions to the Old Manual, the Monetary
Board of the BSP, in its Resolution No. 1203 dated 7 December 1994, directed the creation
of a multi-departmental Ad Hoc Review Committee. This committee was officially
constituted under Office Order No. 2, Series of 1995 and consisted of Deputy General
Counsel Melpin A. Gonzaga (Office of the General Counsel and Legal Services, as chairman;
Deputy Director Ma. Dolores B. Yuvienco (Supervisory Reports and Studies Office); Deputy
Director Rolando A. Q. Agustin (Department of Commercial Banks I); Deputy Director
Danilo A. Monasterio (Department of Rural Banks); Deputy Director Erlinda S. J. Marzan
(Department of Thrift Banks and Non-Bank Financial Institutions), as members; and Managing
Director Fe B. Barin (Office of the Monetary Board), as adviser. The technical staff of the Ad
Hoc Committee was composed of Atty. Magdalena D. Imperio, Bank Attorney III, as head;
and Mr. Fernando B. Caballa, Manager II; Mr. Lauro C. Abuzo, Bank Officer III, Atty. Policarpo
G. Barcarse, Manager II; Mr. Nicanor F. Rillera, Manager II; and Mr. Aristides R. Wylengco,
Manager II, as members. Deputy Governor Armando L. Suratos, the BSP General Counsel,
acted as committee consultant.
Under the aforesaid office order, the Ad Hoc Committee was instructed to examine,
evaluate and review the provisions of the Old Manual for purposes of (1) deleting therefrom
provisions which are obsolete, redundant, irrelevant, superfluous or inconsistent with law,
(2) amending provisions so as to make them consistent with each other or to harmonize
them with existing statutes, executive issuances and official policies, and (3) reformulating
provisions to make them more responsive to the needs and concerns of the banking and
financial intermediation industry.
In discharging its mandated tasks, the Ad Hoc Review Committee sought the
comments of certain departments of the BSP, particularly, Treasury, Foreign Exchange,
Economic Research, Cash, Accounting, and Loans and Credit, on the proposed changes to
provisions of the Old Manual relevant to their operations. Likewise consulted were the
various associations in the non-bank financial intermediary industries. Their valuable
suggestions contributed much to the accomplishment of this project.
vii
The New Manual comprises substantially the regulatory issuances of the BSP, as
well as those of its predecessor agency, the Central Bank of the Philippines, as they were
amended or revised through the years, up to 31 December 1996. It shall serve as the
principal source of all substantive regulations for non-bank financial institutions issued by
the Monetary Board and the Governor of the BSP and shall be cited as the authority for
enjoining compliance with the rules and regulations embodied therein.
It is fervently hoped that the publication of this long-awaited new code of regulations
for non-bank financial institution will measure up to the expectations of these institutions.
viii
INSTRUCTIONS TO USERS
The Manual of Regulations for Non-Bank Financial Institutions (the Manual) is the
comprehensive authority on the specific subjects covered therein. New rules and
amendments to the rules shall immediately form part of the affected section or subsection
of the Manual while repealed rules shall be deleted so that the user shall no longer refer to
a separate issuance, i.e., circular or memorandum, but shall instead cite the particular
section or subsection of the Manual. Non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs) governed by
the Manual shall comply with the provisions thereof and any violation thereof shall be
punishable under the specific and/or general provisions on sanctions.
The Manual contains the rules and regulations on NBFIs subject to supervision by
the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) under the law. Specifically, these institutions are as
follows: NBFIs performing quasi-banking functions, or quasi-banks, which are subject to
BSP supervision under R.A. No. 7653, The New Central Bank Act and R.A. No. 8791, The
General Banking Law of 2000; NBFIs performing trust and other fiduciary activities, under
R.A. No. 337, as amended; non-stock savings and loans association (NSSLAs), under R.A.
3779; and pawnshops, under P.D. No. 114. The regulations addressed to these institutions
are grouped as follows: the Q Regulations, which are addressed to quasi-banks; the S
Regulations, which are addressed to NSSLAs; the P Regulations, which are addressed to
pawnshops; and N Regulations, which are addressed to other NBFIs subject to BSP
supervision.
As a code of regulations, the Manual contains the basic features of division into
Parts, further subdivided into major topic headings which introduce the corresponding
sections and subsections making up the provisions governing a major operation of the
institutions subject to the regulations. Parts and major topic headings as well as coded
section numbers and headings are made uniform for all the groups of regulations.
Coding of sections utilizes six (6) digits; i.e., 4123Q.44. The first digit (4 in the
example) refers to the type of financial institution (i.e., non-bank financial institutions as
distinguished from banks or banking institutions, the regulations addressed to which
institutions are contained in another Manual) to which the regulation is applicable; the
second digit (1 in the example), to the Part number, and the third and fourth digits (23 in
the example), to the section number. The other two (2) digits after the decimal point (44 in
the example) refer to the subsection number. The letters Q, S, P and N are appended to
the pertinent code numbers of the sections to indicate the particular category of NBFIs the
regulations are addressed to, namely: quasi-banks, NSSLAs, pawnshops and other NBFIs
subject to BSP supervision, respectively. For example, Sections 4161Q, 4161S, and 4161P
refer to provisions of reporting requirements of quasi-banks, NSSLAs, and pawnshops, in
that order.

F. STOCK, STOCKHOLDERS
AND DIVIDENDS
Sec. 4126Q Dividends. Pursuant to
Section 57 of R.A. No. 8791, no QB shall
declare dividends greater than its
accumulated net profits then on hand,
deducting therefrom its losses and bad
debts. Neither shall the QB declare
dividends if, at the time of declaration, it

Subsec. 4126Q.2.
4126Q.1 Definition of terms. For

definitions shall apply:
a. Bad debts shall include any debt
on which interest is past due for a period
of six (6) months, unless it is well secured

4141Q.3 Powers/responsibilities
and duties of board of directors and
directors
a. Powers of the board of directors. The
corporate powers of a quasi-bank/trust entity
shall be exercised, its business conducted and
all its property shall be controlled and held
by its board of directors. The powers of the
board of directors as conferred by law are
original and cannot be revoked by the
stockholders. The directors hold their office
charged with the duty to act for the quasibank/trust entity in accordance with their best
judgment.
b. General responsibility of the board
of directors. The position of a quasi-bank/
trust entity director is a position of trust. A
director assumes certain responsibilities to
different constituencies or stakeholders, i.e.,
the quasi-bank/trust entity itself, its
stockholders, its clients and other creditors,
its management and employees, and the
public at large. These constituencies or
stakeholders have the right to expect that
the institution is being run in a prudent and
sound manner.
The board of directors is primarily
responsible for the corporate governance
of the quasi-bank/trust entity. To ensure
good governance of the quasi-bank/trust
entity, the board of directors should
establish strategic objectives, policies and
procedures that will guide and direct the
activities of the quasi-bank/trust entity and
the means to attain the same as well as the
mechanism for monitoring managements
performance. While the management of the
day-to-day affairs of the institution is the
responsibility of the management team, the
board of directors is, however, responsible
for monitoring and overseeing
management action.
c. Specific duties and responsibilities
of the board of directors
(1) To select and appoint officers who
are qualified to administer the quasi-banks/

Section 4401Q Statement of Principles
The cardinal principle common to all trust
and other fiduciary relationships is fidelity.
Policies predicated upon this principle are
directed towards confidentiality, scrupulous
care, safety and prudent management of
property including reasonable probability of
income with proper accounting and
appropriate reporting thereon. Practices are
designed in accordance with the basic standards
for trust, other fiduciary and investment

An institution incorporated or authorized
to engage in trust and fiduciary business is
under no obligation, either legal or moral, to
accept any such business being offered nor
has it the right to accept if the same is contrary
to law, rules, regulations, public order and
public policy. It shall advertise its services in
a dignified manner and enter such business
only when demand for such service is
evident, when specially equipped to render
such service and upon full appreciation of
the responsibilities involved. It shall be ready

services being offered and shall conduct its
dealing with transparency. Harmonious

other professions to achieve the common
goal of mutual service to the public and

g. Credibility
(1) The CRA must have a general
reputation of high standards of integrity
and fairness in dealing with its clients
and conducts its business in an ethical
manner;
(2) The CRA is generally accepted by
predominant users in the market (i.e.,
issuers, investors, bankers, financial
institutions, securities traders); and
(3) The CRA must carry out its rating
activities with due diligence to ensure
ratings are fair and appropriate.
For purposes of this Section, a
subsidiary refers to a corporation, more
than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock
of which is owned or controlled directly
or indirectly by the CRA while an affiliate
refers to a corporation, not more than fifty
percent (50%) but not less than ten
percent (10%) of the voting stock of which
is owned or controlled directly or
indirectly by the CRA.
Control exists when the parent owns
directly or indirectly through subsidiaries
more than one-half of the voting power
of an enterprise unless, in exceptional
circumstance, it can be clearly
demonstrated that such ownership does
not constitute control. Control may also
exist even when ownership is one-half
or less of the voting power of an
enterprise when there is:
(a) power over more than one-half
() of the voting rights by virtue of an
agreement with other stockholders;
(b) power to govern the financial and
operating policies of the enterprise under
a statute or an agreement;
(c) power to appoint or remove the
majority of the members of the board of
directors or equivalent governing body;
(d) power to cast the majority votes
at meetings of the board of directors or
equivalent governing body; or
(e) any other arrangement similar to
any of the above.

continue to increase its capital accounts for the same amount for the succeeding year, then computations
should consider only the amount of net profits (after dividends) plowed into the business for the year
immediately preceding the date of application plus the amount of capital that the NBQB promised to
put up per its schedule or program submitted to the Bangko Sentral. If no such schedule or program
was submitted, then only the amount of net profits (after dividends) for the year immediately preceding
the date of application should be considered.

their business operations. A wide variety
of business enterprises are end-users. They
include, but are not limited to, a broad
range of financial institutions such as banks,
securities firms and insurance companies;
funds and specialized investment
partnerships; and corporations, local and
state governments, government agencies
and international agencies.
4. Intermediaries,
which
are
sometimes referred to as "Dealers", cater
to the needs of end-users by "making
markets" in over-the-counter derivatives
instruments. In doing so, they expect to
generate income from transaction fees, bid/
offer spreads and their own trading
positions. Important intermediaries, or
derivatives dealers, include major banks
and securities firms. As intermediaries,
banks have traditionally offered foreign
exchange and interest rate risk
management products to their customers
and generally view derivatives products
as a financial risk management service.
5. The basic risks associated with
derivatives activities are not new to
banking organizations. In general, these
risks are credit risk, market risk, liquidity
risk, operations risk and legal risk. Because
they facilitate the specific identification and
management of these risks, derivatives
have the potential to enhance the safety
and soundness of financial institutions and
to produce a more efficient allocation of
financial risks. However, since derivatives
also have these
basic risks
in
combinations that can be quite complex,
they can also threaten the safety and
soundness of institutions if they are not
clearly understood and properly managed.
6. Recognizing the importance of
sound risk management to the effective use
of derivatives instruments, the following
guidelines are intended to highlight the key
elements and basic principles of sound
management practice for both dealers and

Independent Risk Management
Functions
1. An independent body shall
manage the measurement, monitoring and
control of risks consistent with established
policies and procedures. It shall directly
report to the Board of Directors or to the
appropriate management committee.
2. The personnel performing
independent risk management functions
should have a complete understanding of
the risks associated with all of the bank's
derivatives activities. Accordingly,
compensation policies for these
individuals should be adequate to attract
and retain personnel qualified to assess
these risks.
IV. The Risk Management Process
1. The primary components of a
sound risk management process are:
comprehensive risk measurement
approach; detailed structure of limits,
guidelines and other parameters used to
govern risk-taking; and strong
management information system for
controlling, monitoring and reporting
risks.
2. To enable an institution to manage
its risk exposure more effectively, its risk
management process for derivatives
activities should be integrated into its overall
risk management system using a conceptual
framework common to its other activities.
3. The risk exposures in derivatives
activities should be fully supported by an
adequate capital position.
A. Risk Measurement
1. Risk should be measured and
aggregated across trading and non-trading
activities on an institution-wide basis to the
fullest extent possible. In derivatives
activities, assessment of the following risks
should be included: credit risk, market
risk, liquidity risk, operations risk and legal
risk (Section VI of these Guidelines).
Q Regulations
Appendix Q-15 - Page 3
APP. Q-15
05.12.31
2. Risk measurement procedures
should be understood by all relevant
personnel - from individual traders to the
Board of Directors.
3. Mark-to-Market valuation of
derivatives positions is fundamental to
measuring and reporting exposures
accurately and on a timely basis. A daily
report to management indicating the gain
or loss on derivatives activities should be
submitted. Monitoring of credit exposures,
trading positions and market improvements
should be done at least daily.
4. Sound risk measurement practices
include analysis of stress situations and
identification of changes in market
behavior that could have unfavorable
effects on the institution and assessment of
the ability of the institution to withstand
them.
B. Limiting Risks
1. A sound system of integrated
institution-wide limits should set
boundaries for organizational risk-taking
and should ensure that position which
exceeds pre-determined levels receive
prompt management attention. Such a
system should define, among others, the
following limits:
a. Earnings or capital-at-risk limits This defines the limit on potential loss
which could be expressed as a
percentage of projected earnings or
capital; and
b. Exposure limits - This defines
maximum exposure to the various
derivatives products.
2. Should pre-determined limits be
exceeded, a report to senior
management must be made for
information and appropriate action.
C. Reporting. An accurate, informative,
and timely reporting system to the
appropriate level of management is
essential to the prudent operation of

concentration of credit. Policies
addressing
credit
management
functions, such as risk ratings, nonperforming contracts, and allowance
allocations should be consistent.
Credit Approval Function
1. Management should make sure
that credit authorizations are provided by
personnel independent of the trading
unit to ensure safe and sound
management of derivatives credit risk
exposure. Credit officers and approving
officers should be: familiar with credit
risk; able to analyze the impact of
proposed derivatives activities on the
financial condition of the customer;
responsible for establishing and
changing financial derivatives credit
lines; and able to understand the
applicability of financial derivatives
instruments to the risks the bank customer
is attempting to manage.
2. Credit analysis should be
documented and necessary information
should be provided to customer/s.
Pre-settlement Risk
1. The system to be used to quantify
the pre-settlement credit risk exposure
should: a) take into account current
exposure ("mark-to-market") as well as
potential credit risk due to possible
future changes in applicable market rates
or prices ("add-on"); b) use a reliable
source for determining the credit risk
factor used to calculate the credit risk
add-on; and c) produce a number
representing
a
reasonable
approximation of loan equivalency, that
is, the amount of credit exposure
inherent in a comparable extension of
credit.
The mark-to-market calculation
should incorporate the same controls as
the mark-to-market calculation used to
identify profits and losses. Prices should

Dynamic hedging refers generally to the continuous process of buying and selling of instruments
to offset exposures as market conditions change (e.g., an option writer selling an underlying asset as
its price falls.)

on derivatives activities may be required
to deliver collateral or settle a contract
early and possibly at a time when it may
face other funding and liquidity pressures.
Early terminations may also open up
additional, unintended, market positions.
Management and directors should be aware
of these potential liquidity risks and should
address them in the institution liquidity plan
and in the broader context of the institution's
liquidity management process.
D. Operational Risk - is the risk that an
institution will suffer an unexpected loss
due to deficiencies in information systems
or internal controls.
1. The Board of Directors/Management
Committee and senior management should
ensure the proper dedication of resources
to support operations and systems
development and maintenance. The
operation unit should report to an
independent unit and should be managed
independently of the business unit. The
sophistication of the systems support and
operational capacity should be
commensurate with the size and complexity
of the derivatives business activity.
2. Systems support and operational
capacity should be adequate to
accommodate the types of derivatives
activities in which the institution engages.
This includes the ability to efficiently
process and settle the volume transacted
through the business unit, to provide
support for the complexity of the
transactions booked and to provide
accurate and timely input.

developed to interface with the official

Under certain circumstances, the quasibank and/or its officers and employees
themselves can be exposed to charges of
money laundering, if they know or should
have known that the funds stemmed from
corruption or other serious crimes.
3. On-going monitoring of high risk
accounts
On-going monitoring of accounts and
transactions is an essential aspect of
effective KYC procedures. Quasi-banks
can only effectively control and reduce
their risk if they have an understanding
of normal and reasonable account activity
of their customers. Without such
knowledge, they are likely to fail in their
duty to report suspicious transactions to
the appropriate authorities in cases where
they are required to do so. The on-going
monitoring process includes the following:
Quasi-banks should develop
clear standards on what records must be
kept on customer identification and
individual transactions and the retention
period.1 As the starting point and natural
follow-up of the identification process,
quasi-banks should obtain and keep up to
date customer identification papers and
retain them for at least five years after an
account is closed. They should also retain
all financial transaction records for at least
five years after the transaction has taken
place.
Quasi-banks should ensure that
they have adequate management
information systems to provide managers
and compliance officers with timely
information needed to identify, analyse
and effectively monitor higher risk customer
accounts. The types of reports that may be
needed include reports of missing account
opening documentation, transactions made
through a customer account that are unusual,
and aggregations of a customers total
relationship with the quasi-bank.
Q Regulations
Appendix Q-23 - Page 10
APP. Q-23
05.12.31
It is unrealistic to expect the quasi-bank to know or investigate every distant family, political or business
connection of a foreign customer. The need to pursue suspicions will depend on the size of the assets or
turnover, pattern of transactions, economic background, reputation of the country, plausibility of the customers
explanations etc. It should however be noted that individuals holding important/prominent positions,
public or private (or rather their family members and friends) would not necessarily present themselves in that
capacity, but rather as ordinary (albeit wealthy) business people, masking the fact they owe their high position
in a legitimate business corporation only to their privileged relation with the holder of the public office.

GENERAL GUIDE TO ACCOUNT OPENING AND CUSTOMER IDENTIFICATION
1. The Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision in its paper on Customer Due
Diligence for Banks published in October
2001 referred to the intention of the
Working Group on Cross-border Banking1
to develop guidance on customer
identification. Customer identification is an
essential element of an effective customer
due diligence programme which banks
need to put in place to guard against
reputational, operational, legal and
concentration risks. It is also necessary in
order to comply with anti-money
laundering legal requirements and a
prerequisite for the identification of bank
accounts related to terrorism.
2. What follows is account opening
and customer identification guidelines and
a general guide to good practice based on
the principles of the Basel Committees
Customer due diligence for banks paper.
This document, which has been developed
by the Working Group on Cross-border
Banking, does not cover every eventuality,
but instead focuses on some of the
mechanisms that banks can use in
developing an effective customer
identification programme.
3. These guidelines represent a starting
point for supervisors and banks in the area
of customer identification. This document
does not address the other elements of the
Customer Due Diligence for banks paper,
such as the ongoing monitoring of
accounts. However, these elements should
be considered in the development of
effective customer due diligence, antimoney laundering and combating the
financing of terrorism procedures.
The Working Group on Cross-border Banking is a joint group consisting of members of the Basel Committee
and of the Offshore Group of Banking Supervisors.

Provided, That the staggered booking

year the sale/transfer of the NPA occurred
shall be properly disclosed.
After initially recognizing an
impairment loss, the bank/FI should review
the financial instruments for future
impairment in subsequent financial
reporting date.
If in a subsequent period, the estimated
recoverable amount of the financial
instrument decreases, the bank/FI should
immediately book additional allowance for
probable losses corresponding to the
decrease. However, a bank/FI may stagger
the booking of such additional allowance
for probable losses in such a way that it
catches up and keeps pace with the original
deferral schedule (e.g., if the impairment
occurred in Year 8, a bank/FI should
immediately book 70 percent (70%) at end
of Year 8, and thereafter, additional 15
percent (15%) each at end of Year 9 and
Year 10, respectively): Provided, That the
staggered booking of impairment, if any,

If in a subsequent period, the estimated
recoverable amount of the financial
instrument increases exceeding its carrying
amount, and the increase can be
objectively related to an event occurring

happens because the default/failure would make the price of the security go down and may make the security
difficult to sell. As these happen, the UITFs NAVpu will be affected by a decline in value.
Reinvestment Risks. This is the risk associated with the possibility of having lower returns or earnings when
maturing funds or the interest earnings of funds are reinvested.
Investors in the UITF who redeem and realize their gains run the risk of reinvesting their funds in an
alternative investment outlet with lower yields. Similarly, the UITF manager is faced with the risk of not being able
to find good or better alternative investment outlets as some of the securities in the fund matures.
In case of a foreign-currency denominated UITF or a peso denominated UITF allowed to invest in securities
denominated in currencies other than its base currency, the UITF is also exposed to the following risks:
Foreign Exhange Risk. This is the possibility for an investor to experience losses due to fluctuations in
foreign exchange rates. The exchange rates depend upon a variety of global and local factors, e.g., interest rates,
economic performance, and political developments.
It is the risk of the UITF to currency fluctuations when the value of investments in securities denominated in
currencies other than the base currency of the UITF depreciates. Conversely, it is the risk of the UITF to lose value
when the base currency of the UITF appreciates. The NAVpu of a peso-denominated UITF invested in foreign
currency-denominated securities may decrease to incur loss when the peso appreciates.
Country Risk. This is the possibility for an investor to experience losses arising from investments in securities
issued by/in foreign countries due to the political, economic and social structures of such countries. There are
risks in foreign investments due to the possible internal and external conflicts, currency devaluations, foreign
ownership limitations and tax increases of the foreign country involved which are difficult to predict but must be
taken into account in making such investments.
Likewise, brokerage commissions and other fees may be higher in foreign securities. Government supervision
and regulation of foreign stock exchanges, currency markets, trading systems and brokers may be less than those
in the Philippines. The procedures and rules governing foreign transactions and custody of securities may also
involve delays in payment, delivery or recovery of investments.
Other Risks. Your participation in the UITFs may be further exposed to the risk of any actual or potential
conflicts of interest in the handling of in-house or related party transactions by (Name of Trust Entity). These
transactions may include own-bank deposits; purchase of own-institution or affiliate obligations (stock, mortgages);
purchase of assets from or sales to own institution, directors, officers, subsidiaries, affiliates or other related
interests/parties; or purchases or sales between fiduciary/managed accounts.
I/we have completely read and fully understood this risk disclosure statement and the same was clearly explained
to me/us by a (Name of Trust Entity) UIT marketing personnel before I/we affixed my/our signature/s herein. I/we
hereby voluntarily and willingly agree to comply with any and all laws, regulations, the plan rules, terms and
conditions governing my/our investment in the (Name of Trust Entity) UITFs.

TEMPLATE OF LETTER TO INVESTOR
Dear Investor:
We wish to inform you that the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), in July of 2003
issued Circular No. 392, Series of 2003, which requires all securities sold by banks on a
without recourse basis (i.e. the bank has no liability to the buyer of securities in paying
the obligation due on the security) to be delivered to the buyer/purchaser of securities
through any of the following means:
(a) If the security is evidenced by a certificate of indebtedness, the certificate
must be transferred in the name of the purchaser/buyer and physically delivered
to the purchaser/buyer or to his designated BSP-accredited third party custodian.
(b) If the security is immobilized or dematerialized (i.e., that the security is not
evidenced by a certificate of indebtedness and instead security account is created
in the electronic books of the registry in the name of the purchaser/buyer or his
designated custodian):
i.
ii.
Circular No. 392 is part of a package of reforms to support the development of the
domestic capital market through enhanced investor protection and greater market
transparency. It provides for a more defined role and responsibilities for the custodians and
registrars and a stricter supervision and regulation thereof by the BSP. It aims to provide the
client with the following benefits:
a.
b.
c.
d.
Q Regulations
Appendix Q-38 - Page 5
APP. Q-38
07.12.31
Moreover, Circular No. 392, which amends CBP Circular 437-74, seeks to address
the changes in the legal framework brought by the developments in the market, i.e. where
purchase of securities may be evidenced not only by transfer of certificates but also by
electronic book-entry transfer of ownership in the books of the registrar for said security.
As an investor, therefore, of securities which is dematerialized or scripless, you
have the option to require your dealer/broker to deliver the securities to you by requiring
them to have the securities registered directly in your name in the registry of said securities
or by requiring them to have the securities registered in the name of the BSP accredited
third party custodian of your choice who in turn will credit your securities account with
them.
The registry is a BSP-accredited bank or non-bank financial institution (NBFI)
designated or appointed by the Issuer to (1) maintain the securities registry book; (2) record
the (a) issuance of the securities and (b) subsequent transfers of ownership thereof; and (3)
issue registry confirmation to the buyers/holders of security.
The custodian, on the other hand, is a BSP-accredited bank or NBFI designated by
the investor to safekeep the security by allowing it to hold title to the security, either in a
nominee or trustee capacity, to enable it to perform the following administrative functions/
services related to investing in a security or various securities: i) Mark to market valuation
of security that will enable the client to know the value of his investment at any period in
time; ii) compute and collect the interest due on the security; iii) render statements on
outstanding securities under safekeeping; iv) represents the client (per its instruction) in
the events of default or breach of contract of the issuer; and v) lend the security of the
clients as agent that will enable the client to earn additional income on the security.
The registrars and custodians underwent a rigorous evaluation process by the BSP
to determine whether they have the following: i) adequate capital to cover for potential
operating risks related to performing its custody functions; ii) competent management
team to manage the company with responsibility and proper corporate ethics; iii) robust
technology system to operate the custody business efficiently; and iv) favorable track record
or significant experience in the custody business or related business. They will also undergo
regular audit by the BSP to ensure that they comply with BSP rules and regulations and
will be subject to penalties and administrative sanctions for any violation thereof.
As of date, BSP has accredited the following registrars and custodians: Bank of the
Philippine Islands, CITIBANK N.A., Deutsche Bank, Hongkong and Shanghai Banking
Corporation, Philippine Depository and Trust Corporation, and Standard Chartered Bank.
The Registry of Scripless Securities (RoSS) operated by the Bureau of Treasury
(BTR) which is acting as a registry for government securities, is automatically accredited as
securities registry. However, the BTR, as registry, cannot act as custodian of government
securities pursuant to the opinion of the Secretary of Justice rendered on 17 January 2005
due to irreconcilable conflict of loyalties that is anathema to agency if the same institution
were to act as registrar and custodian at the same time.
Q Regulations
Appendix Q-38 - Page 6
APP. Q-38
07.12.31
The custodian shall render periodic reports on your account balances on a quarterly
basis, or at such interval as you may require. Moreover, the custodian shall issue to you a
confirmation of any transfer of ownership as it occurs, in either electronic or printed forms.
Said reports shall be delivered/mailed directly at your address unless you give a written
instruction directly to the custodian to deliver the said reports to your designated person/
entity. You are, however, required to acknowledge in the written instruction that you are
designating another person/entity to receive the periodic reports from the custodian,
notwithstanding contrary advice of the BSP.
Please note that the abovementioned arrangements may change once the BSP
issues more detailed implementing rules and guidelines to the abovementioned circulars.
We will update you if and when these developments occur.
Please fill up and sign the required documentation of your chosen custodian and
we will forward the same to them so that your securities account can be opened as soon as
possible. You may, however, designate/appoint an agent for this purpose. In either case,
the custody arrangement may or may not entail additional fees.
If you have any further questions, please call us so that we can refer the matter to
the appropriate custodian/registrar.
Very truly yours,
(Circular No. 524 dated 31 March 2006, as amended by M-2007-002 dated 23 January 2007)

Annex A
Aggravating and Mitigating Factors to be Considered in the Imposition of Penalty
1. Aggravating Factors:
(a) Frequency of the commission of
specific violation This pertains to
commission or omission of a specific
offense involving either the same or
different transaction. This will also refer to
a violation which may have been corrected
in the past but found repeated in another
transaction/account in the subsequent
examination.
In determining frequency, the number
of times of commission or omission of a
specific offense during the preceding three
(3) - year period shall also be considered.
The word offense pertains to a
violation that connotes infraction of
existing BSP rules and regulations as well
as non-compliance with BSP/MB directives.
(b) Duration of Violations Prior to
Notification This pertains to the length of
time prior to the latest notification on the
violation. Violations that have been existing
for a long time before it was revealed/
discovered in the regular examination or are
under evaluation for a long time due to
pending requests or correspondences from
quasi-banks on whether a violation has
actually occurred shall be dealt with through
this criterion. Violations outstanding for more
than one (1) year prior to notification, at the
minimum, will qualify as violations
outstanding for a long time.
(c) Continuation of offense or
omission after notification This pertains
to the persistence of an act or offense after
the latest notification on the existence of
the violation, either from the appropriate
Supervision and Examination Department
or from the Monetary Board and/or Deputy

Background
It must be recognized that banking is a
business of taking risks in order to earn
profits. While banking risks historically have
been concentrated in traditional banking
activities, the financial services industry has
evolved in response to market-driven,
technological, and legislative changes.
These changes have allowed FIs to expand
product offerings, geographic diversity, and
delivery systems. They have also
increased the complexity of the FIs
consolidated risk exposure. Because of this
complexity, FIs must evaluate, control, and
manage risk according to its significance.
The FIs evaluation of risk must take into
account how non-bank activities within a
banking organization affect the FI.
Consolidated risk assessments should be
a fundamental part of managing the FI.
Large FIs assume varied and complex risks
that warrant a risk-oriented supervisory
approach.
II. Statement of policy
The existence of risk is not necessarily
a reason for concern. Likewise, the
existence of high risk in any area is not
necessarily a concern, so long as
management exhibits the ability to
effectively manage that level of risk. Under
this approach, the BSP will not necessarily
attempt to restrict risk-taking but rather
ensure that FIs identify, understand, and
control the risks they assume. As an
organization grows more diverse and
complex, the FIs risk management
processes must keep pace. When risk is not
properly managed, BSP will direct FI
management to take corrective action such
as reducing exposures, increasing capital,
strengthening risk management processes
or a combination of these actions. In all

Background
The globalization of financial markets,
increased transaction volume and volatility,
and the introduction of complex products
and trading strategies have made market risk
management take on a more important role
in risk management. FIs now use a wide
range of financial products and strategies,
ranging from the most liquid fixed income
securities to complex derivative
instruments and structured products. The
risk dimensions of these products and
strategies must be fully understood,
monitored, and controlled by a financial
institution.
II. Statement of policy
For purposes of these guidelines,
financial institutions refer to banks and
NBFIs supervised by the BSP and their
respective financial subsidiaries. The level
of market risk assumed by an FI is not
necessarily a concern, so long as the FI has
the ability to effectively manage the risk.
Therefore, the BSP will not restrict the level
of risk assumed by an FI, or the scope of
its financial market activities, so long as the
FI is authorized to engage in such activities
and:
Understands, measures, monitors
and controls the risk assumed,
Adopts risk management practices
whose sophistication and effectiveness are
commensurate to the risk being monitored
and controlled, and
Maintains capital commensurate
with the risk exposure assumed.
If the BSP determines that an FIs risk
exposures are excessive relative to the FIs
capital, or that the risk assumed is not well
managed, the BSP will direct the FI to reduce
its exposure to an appropriate level and/or
strengthen its risk management systems.In

This section refers to a management structure composed of a board of directors and senior management. The BSP is
aware that there may be differences in some FIs as regards the organizational framework and functions of the board of
directors and senior management. For instance, branches of foreign banks have board of directors located outside of the
Philippines and are overseeing multiple branches in various countries. In this case, board-equivalent committees are
appointed. Owing to these differences, the notions of the board of directors and the senior management are used in
these guidelines not to identify legal constructs but rather to label two decision-making functions within a FI.

It is acceptable for parts of the reconciliation to be automated; e.g., routines may be programmed to investigate whether
the balances being extracted from various transaction systems match the balances recorded on the FIs general ledger.
Similarly, the model itself often contains various audit checks to ensure, for example, that maturing balances do not
exceed original balances.
Q Regulations
Appendix Q-43 - Page 15
APP. Q-43

Key areas of review include the statistical methods that were used to generate scenarios and assumptions (if applicable),
and whether senior management reviewed and approved key assumptions. The review should also compare actual
pricing spreads and balance sheet behavior to model assumptions. For some instruments, estimates of value changes can
be compared with market value changes. Unfavorable results may lead the FI to revise model relationships.
2
The validity of the model calculations is often tested by comparing actual with forecasted results. When doing so, FIs can
compare projected net income results with actual earnings. Reconciling the results of economic valuation systems can be
more difficult because market prices for all instruments are not always readily available, and the FI does not routinely
mark all of its balance sheet to market. For instruments or portfolios with market prices, these prices are often used to
benchmark or check model assumptions.

This is especially important for assets and liabilities whose behavior differs markedly from contractual maturity or repricing, and for new products. Material changes to assumptions should be documented, justified, and approved by
management.

Background
The on-going viability of institutions,
particularly financial organizations, is
heavily influenced by their ability to
manage liquidity. Innovations in
investment and funding products, growth
in off-balance sheet activities and
continuous competition for consumer
funds have affected the way FI do business
and intensified the need for proactive
liquidity risk management. FIs need to fully
understand, measure and control the
resulting liquidity risk exposures.
II. Statement of Policy
For purposes of these guidelines, FIs
include banks, NBFIs supervised by the
BSP and their financial subsidiaries.
The BSP recognizes the liquidity risk
inherent in FI activities and how these
activities expose an FI to multiple risks
which may increase liquidity risk. The BSP
will not restrict risk-taking activities as long
as FIs are authorized to engage in such
activities and:
1. Understand, measure, monitor and
control the risk they assume;
2. Adopt risk management practices
whose sophistication and effectiveness is
commensurate to the risk assumed; and
3. Maintain capital commensurate
with their risk exposures.
The principles set forth in these
guidelines shall be used to determine the
level and trend of liquidity risk exposure
and adequacy and effectiveness of an FIs
liquidity risk management process. In
evaluating the adequacy of an FIs liquidity
position, the BSP shall consider the FIs
current level and prospective sources of
liquidity as compared to its funding needs.
Further, the BSP will evaluate the
adequacy of funds management practices

5. Mandate
and
track
the
implementation of corrective action in
instances of breaches in policies and
procedures;
6. Establish, review and to the extent
possible, test contingency plans for dealing
with potential temporary and long-term
liquidity disruptions; and
7. Ensure that the FI has sufficient
competent personnel, including internal audit
staff, and adequate measurement systems
to effectively manage liquidity risk.
Responsibilities of senior management
Senior management is responsible for
effectively executing the liquidity strategy
and overseeing the daily and long-term
management of liquidity risk. In managing
the FIs activities, Senior Management
should:
1. Develop
and
implement
procedures and practices that translate the
Boards goals, objectives, and risk
tolerances into operating standards that are
transmitted to and well understood by
personnel. Operating standards should be
consistent with the Boards intent;
2. Plan for adequate sources of liquidity
to meet current and potential funding
needs and establish guidelines for the
development of contingency funding plans;
3. Adhere to the lines of authority and
responsibility that the Board has established
for managing liquidity risk;
4. Oversee the implementation and
maintenance of management information
and other systems that identify, measure,
monitor, and control the FIs liquidity risk;
and

over the liquidity risk management process.

a) Cash on hand and gold, which shall
be risk-weighted at zero percent (0%); and
b) Checks and other cash items,
which shall be risk-weighted at twenty
percent (20%).
Accruals on a claim shall be classified
and risk-weighted in the same way as the
claim. Bills purchased shall be classified
and risk-weighted as claims on the drawee
bank. The treatments of credit derivatives
and securitization exposures are presented
separately in Parts IV and V, respectively.
Investments in equity or other regulatory
capital instruments issued by banks or
other financial/non-financial allied/nonallied undertakings will be risk-weighted
at 100%, unless deductible from the capital
base as required in Part II.
Off-balance sheet items
17. For off-balance sheet items, the
risk-weighted amount shall be calculated
using a two-step process. First, the credit
equivalent amount of an off-balance sheet
item shall be determined by multiplying its
notional principal amount by the appropriate
credit conversion factor, as follows:
a) 100% credit conversion factor - this
shall apply to direct credit substitutes, e.g.,
general guarantees of indebtedness
(including standby letters of credit serving
as financial guarantees for loans and
securities) and acceptances (including
endorsements with the character of
acceptances), and shall include:
i. Guarantees issued other than
shipside bonds/airway bills;
ii. Financial standby letters of credit
b) Fifty percent (50%) credit
conversion factor this shall apply to
certain transaction-related contingent items,
e.g., performance bonds, bid bonds,

Introduction
Trust and other fiduciary business and
investment management activities have
evolved with the changes in the financial
market and advancement in technology.
These innovations have allowed trust
entities to expand the scope of trust
products and services offered to customers,
thus increasing their exposure to various
risks. As trust entities grow more diverse,
necessarily policies and procedures as well
as risk management practices must keep
pace. The basic standards would provide
common processes for an efficient operation
and administration of trust, other fiduciary
and investment management activities
across the trust industry.
II. Statement of policy
It is the policy of the BSP to provide
adequate level of protection to investors
who, under a fiduciary arrangement,
engage the services or avail of products of
trust entities which are required to observe
prudence in the exercise of their fiduciary
responsibility. Along this line, the BSP
prescribes basic standards for the efficient
administration and operation of trust and
other fiduciary business and investment
management activities.
III. Standards
The basic standards in the administration
of trust, other fiduciary and investment
management accounts are meant to address
the significant areas of operations and
provide minimum set of requirements and
procedures:
A. Account acceptance and review
processes
1. Pre-acceptance account review
This review must document that the
trust entity (TE) can effectively administer

b. Identification of degree of
discretion granted by client to the TE. This
process involves the determination of the
extent of discretion granted to the TE to
manage the clients portfolio.
(1) Discretionary. The TE has authority
or discretion to invest the funds/property
of the client in accordance with the
parameters set forth by the client. Such
authority of the TE which obtained a
composite Trust Rating of 4 in the latest
BSP examination will not be subject to the
investment limitations provided under
Subsecs. 4409Q.2 and 4409Q.3 for trust
and other fiduciary accounts and Subsecs.
4411Q.4 and 4411Q.5 for investment
management accounts, respectively; and
(2) Non-discretionary. Investment
activity of the TE is directed by the client
or limited only to specific securities or
properties and expressly stipulated in the
agreement or upon written instruction of
the client.
(3) Documentation. The trust, fiduciary
or investment management relationship
shall be formally established through a
written legal document such as the trust or
investment management agreement. The
engagement documents shall clearly
specify the extent of fiduciary assignments/
responsibilities of the TE and articulate the
nature and limits of each partys status as
trustor/principal or trustee/agent. Policies
and procedures shall provide that trust or
investment management agreements are
signed by the trust officer or , subordinate
officer of the trust department, or in the
case of UITFs, branch managers/officers
duly authorized by the board of directors.
The documentation process must also
consider the following:
a. The Agreement must conform to
the requirements provided under Subsec.
4409Q.1 for trust and other fiduciary
accounts and Subsec. 4411Q.1 for
investment management accounts. In

pawnshop has, in general, the power to
engage in the business of lending money
on the security of personal property within
the framework and limitations of P.D. No.
114 and the following regulations, subject
to the regulatory and supervisory powers
of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).
4101P.1 Form of organization. A
pawnshop may be established as a single
proprietorship, a partnership or
corporation.
Only Filipino citizens may establish
and own a pawnshop organized as a single
proprietorship. A pawnshop established
as a single proprietorship by a non-Filipino
owner prior to 29 January 1973 may
continue as such during the lifetime of the
registered owner.
If a pawnshop is organized as a
partnership, at least seventy percent (70%)
of its capital shall be owned by Filipino
citizens. Pawnshops established as
partnerships prior to 29 January 1973, with
non-Filipino partners whose aggregate
holdings amount to more than thirty percent
(30%) of the capital may retain the
percentage of their aggregate holdings as of
29 January 1973, and said percentage shall
not be increased, but may be reduced, and
once reduced shall not be increased
thereafter beyond thirty percent (30%) of the
capital stock of such pawnshop.
In the case of a pawnshop organized
as a corporation, at least seventy percent
(70%) of the voting stock therein shall be
owned by citizens of the Philippines, or if
there be no capital stock, at least seventy

(4) Purpose:
(a) relending, or
(b) purchasing receivables or other

As used in the definition of quasibanking functions, the following terms and
phrases shall be understood as follows:
Borrowing shall refer to all forms of

own capacity and not in representation, or

stipulation, when the institution is regularly
engaged in lending.
Regularly engaged in lending shall refer
to the practice of extending loans, advances,
discounts or rediscounts as a matter of
business, i.e., continuous or consistent
lending as distinguished from isolated
