Makati City — Security Bank has unveiled a landmark mural at the Paseo de Roxas underpass, presented as a tribute to MUFG Bank to mark ten years of partnership.
Titled “Security Bank x MUFG: A decade of people, planet, and prosperity,” the mural is Security Bank’s gesture of appreciation, honoring a relationship built on trust, shared purpose, and a long-standing commitment to sustainable and inclusive growth.
Reimagined in 2026, the artwork transforms one of Makati’s busiest pedestrian corridors into a lasting public expression of the partnership—bringing to life its impact across communities while reinforcing the values that continue to guide both institutions.
Located along a key urban thoroughfare, the mural serves as both a civic landmark and a visual narrative of the partnership journey. It builds on the 2019 installation, Art in Defense of Mother Nature, and introduces a refreshed design centered on the “3Ps” of sustainability—people, planet, and prosperity.
Through bold and immersive imagery, the mural reflects initiatives spanning education, health and wellness, enterprise development, disaster response, and support for clean energy and green financing, a demonstrating how both organizations have translated purpose into tangible outcomes.
The mural was created by Filipino artist and environmental advocate A.G. Saño, whose work is widely recognized for advancing themes of environmental protection, peace, and social responsibility. The 2026 design places communities, workers, families, and youth at its center, portraying them as active participants in shaping a more sustainable future.
“This mural is our way of honoring a decade of partnership with MUFG,” said Victor Lee Meng Teck, Security Bank President and CEO. “It reflects not only what we have built together, but how we have chosen to build it—with a shared commitment to responsibility, long-term value, and meaningful impact beyond banking”

For MUFG Manila, the tribute highlights the strength of a partnership grounded in shared values.
“As a global financial group headquartered in Japan, we are deeply grateful for the vibrant local business community here in the Philippines and our enduring partnership with Security Bank,” said Masami Yoshitake, Country Head of MUFG Manila. “This milestone is a testament to the strong collaboration that empowers communities, fosters inclusive economic growth, and advances sustainable development. We value the trust and shared purpose that have guided our journey together, and we look forward to continuing to build a better future alongside our partners.”
For the artist, the mural was designed to make sustainability visible in everyday life.
“Public spaces like this are where people from all walks of life cross paths every day,” said Saño. “Through this mural, we wanted to reflect how people, the environment, and shared responsibility are connected through real experiences shaped by collaboration.”
Beyond its symbolic value, the Paseo de Roxas underpass mural strengthens community connection by bringing art into a highly accessible space used daily by employees, commuters, and visitors.
By embedding sustainability themes into the fabric of everyday city life, the project reflects Security Bank’s commitment to BetterBanking, creating value not only through financial solutions, but through meaningful contributions to communities and a more inclusive, resilient future.
