2010 BDO Annual Report

We find ways
Building for the Future
Message from the Chairman Emeritus
Dear shareholders,
We have gone a long
way from our humble
beginnings when we
started in the late 70s as a thrift bank.
Back then, we were considered an
insignificant player in the Philippine
banking sector.
Today, we are recognized as the
country’s largest bank in assets, but
more so admired and honored by
prestigious international and local
financial institutions.
