These transactions enabled clients to refinance existing debt, fund business expansion, advance sustainability initiatives, and secure long-term capital for growth.

In addition, the firm arranged PHP23.3 billion in private debt transactions, helping clients finance projects that support energy security, infrastructure development, financial inclusion, and broader economic progress.

“This award belongs as much to our clients as it does to our team,” said Virgilio Chua, President and CEO of Security Bank Capital. “We thank them for their continued trust and partnership. By understanding what our clients are trying to achieve, we can structure financing solutions that help them grow, invest, and create long-term value.”
