This is a landmark transaction for us and we are quite happy to have raised the requirement in such a short span of time, at 2.5 times oversubscribed even. The execution timeline involved also sets a new benchmark for Philippine capital market issues as we understand this is effectively the first program listing for a shelf registration among Philippine corporates.”
