The 1) President & CEO of BPI is Jose Teodoro “TG” Limcaoco, 2) Deputy Chairman of BPI Wealth Singapore, President & CEO of BPI Wealth is Maria Theresa D. Marcial, 3) Board Director of BPI Wealth Singapore is Janet Guat Har Ang, and 4) BPI Wealth Singapore CEO is Christmas Sevilla. Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) was founded in 1851, and is Southeast Asia oldest bank & the first bank in the Philippines. Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) key shareholders are Ayala Corporation, Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Manila & Robinsons Retail Holdings. Announcement (9/10/25): “The Bank of the Philippine Islands marked a new milestone this October with the opening of BPI Wealth Singapore, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank, right at the heart of Marina Bay. The launch represents BPI’s continued expansion in Asia and its commitment to providing Filipino and regional clients access to one of the world’s most dynamic financial centers. The launch gathered distinguished guests from Philippines and Singapore, including His Excellency Medardo Macaraig, Ambassador of the Philippines to Singapore, and Phua Wee Ling, Executive Director at the Monetary Authority of Singapore. They were joined by Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala, Chairman of BPI; Lim Chow Kiat, Chairman of the Wealth Management Institute; Jose Teodoro “TG” Limcaoco, President and CEO of BPI; Maria Theresa D. Marcial, Deputy Chairman of BPI Wealth Singapore and President and CEO of BPI Wealth; Janet Guat Har Ang, Board Director of BPI Wealth Singapore; and Christmas Sevilla, CEO of BPI Wealth Singapore … … More than business growth, the launch reflected BPI’s philosophy that true wealth is about legacy. Designed with discretion and intimacy, the office integrates Filipino elements into a modern setting. A timber balustrade at the entrance recalls the craftsmanship of Philippine heritage homes, while custom lighting brings a sense of flow and continuity, creating an environment that feels both contemporary and grounded. At the center is 1851 Wealth, an exclusive space for meaningful conversations: understated, refined, and deeply personal. Restored architectural fragments from BPI’s historic Philippine offices and design elements inspired by the waling-waling orchid pay homage to the Bank’s enduring craftsmanship and stewardship. Select works from BPI’s corporate art collection, including pieces by Fernando Zóbel, Arturo Luz, and Pacita Abad, lend a distinctly Filipino character while connecting to Singapore’s global art scene. Zóbel’s work takes prominence, echoing his ongoing retrospective at the National Gallery Singapore. For Marcial, this cultural dimension underscores the Bank’s broader role as a steward of heritage. As a wholly owned subsidiary of BPI, the Singapore office signals more than geographic expansion; it reflects BPI’s ambition to grow alongside its clients, wherever they are in the world. It also demonstrates how heritage institutions can evolve to meet the demands of modern wealth management without losing sight of the values that have guided them for generations.As BPI approaches its 175th anniversary in 2026, the opening of BPI Wealth Singapore affirms the Bank’s long-standing commitment to bridging the Philippines and the world.”
