Banking Institutions
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas is
known as the banks of all banks in the
Philippines. It is the bank responsible
for the regulation, creation, and
management of monetary supply in
the country.
These are the different types of banks:
Commercial banks accept savings deposits, check
deposits, and time deposits. Examples of Philippine
commercial banks are Bank of the Philippine
Islands and Metrobank.
Thrift banks are categorized into stock savings and loan
associations, savings and mortgage banks, and private
development banks. They consolidate the savings
deposits of their members into a fund from which their
members can draw loans with interest. They also accept
deposits from the public and provide loans for small- and
medium-scale enterprises.
Rural banks cater primarily to farmers and small business
people, mostly in rural areas.

Corporations
A corporation is an organization of people legally
bound by a charter to conduct some type of business.
It has a legal entity separate from its owners. The type
of business that a corporation wants to venture in
depends on its articles of incorporation.
Articles of incorporation are written applications to
the government requesting permission to form a
corporation. This will give the name, address, and
type of business for the corporation; the names of the
officers, and the initial amount of money being put
into the business.
Alfred Chandler, a renowned
business historian, explained how
modern corporations propelled the
growth of modern economy and was
fascinated on how the people that
make up large corporations managed
to "coordinate complex production
processes" and "produce the wealth
of the nations."
The following are the advantages of corporations as
business organizations in the economy:
easy to raise funds–since the corporate form is the
most effective for raising money
limited liability–the concept that owners of the
business are only responsible for its debts up to the
amount they invest in the business
unlimited life–not ceasing to exist if a major
stockholder dies
specialized management–affording to have
specialized managers to run the business
shared risks–spreading business risks among many
owners.
The following are the disadvantages of
corporations as business organizations in the
economy:
difficult to start–needs government approval
before starting the business
less direct control–owners that are usually far
from the day-to-day operation of the business
double taxation–corporate taxes that need to
be paid by the corporation and the owner who
received dividends from the profit
limited activities–limited activities by the article
of incorporation

One of the hottest issues in the Philippine
banking industry is the $81 million allegedly
stolen from the Bank of Bangladesh and
laundered into the Philippines through the
banking system and casinos.
What do you think is the impact of this
particular case to the Philippine banking
industry and to the whole Philippine economy?
Are you in favor of the on-going investigation by
the Senate about the issue? Will you still trust
our banks and big financial corporations?
