    As someone who works in the financial industry, i can attest to how important the role of BSP plays. Its oversight, policies and measures implemented over the Philippine financial system is pivotal on maintaining financial and market stabililty. As much as our local banks are imperfect as to its services, the BSP is the reason why we dont experience bank collapses in the magnitude as that in the US or economic collapses. As an example, there’s a certain reserve requirement that each banking institution needs to maintain in the BSP at all times to ensure that banks are liquid and solvent in case of bank runs. Noncompliance usually lead to costly penalties, deeper book inspections and audits just to name a few. It is always easy to discredit an institution because we dont completely understand how it operates but credit should be given where it is due. BSP has been doing a great job across administrations; you dont need any further proof other than our economy isnt collapsing but booming.

      Central is created and design by the ruling elites to control, suppress and manipulate the people. We can live without a central bank because our ancestors been there already and they survive.
      Creating money out of nothing is a crime that only bankters can do but not on a hands of criminal. So why is that? Because that is the design that was created by the ruling elites. They can make illegal into legal in the eyes of every citizen.
      That is what I understand on a central bank also. We may have a different understanding but that's how I understand.

And considering the Philippines has both the handicaps of geography, climate, and conservative culture that rewards being clever and corrupt more than being empathetic and honest (due to the mismanagement of older generations) - it's a miracle that the BSP is actively preventing the same civil unrest seen in places like Sri Lanka.

    This is very insightful as a Filipino who already heard this somewhere but still have not grasp the meaning of it. Tbh it’s true. I’m one of the lucky folks who was able to keep my job during pandemic as a BPO employee. It’s our sector which was really huge and the food sector that were still allowed back then to work. Most OFWs have lost their jobs. Somehow our currency did not drop so much so it’s a wonder how they did that during pandemic.

    There is one aspect of the Philippine central bank that needs to improve: a continued and sustained reinvestment and expansion of its equity of its balance sheet. The Philippines government should require that at least 70% of annual central banking profits be reinvested to expand the equity of its balance sheet. This will allow higher tolerance to external shocks as well as strengthening the stability and reliability of the Philippines currency vs other currencies. The advantages of a large, liquid, and stable currency and banking system is an enviable goal for any country.
