07.03.2012 As part of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ (BSP) celebration of its 19th anniversary in July, the 2012 Awards Ceremony and Appreciation Lunch for BSP Stakeholders will be held to honor all the institutions that extended their continuing support to the BSP’s statistical initiatives, information requirements, and advocacy programs. The event will serve as a recognition of the exemplary performance demonstrated by various organizations and a celebration of the accomplishments and milestones achieved by the BSP in partnership with its stakeholders over the previous years. Awards will be given to those that have achieved such excellence – 28 awards will be given to institutions in the National Capital Region (NCR) while 39 will be given to those in areas outside NCR.

The awards will be presented by the Chairman of the Monetary Board and the Governor of the BSP, Amando M. Tetangco Jr., and Monetary Board Member Felipe M.
