Recognition was shared by members of Metrobank’s Trust Banking Group, further cementing its standing as a leading fixed-income asset manager.
Within the Investment Services Division, Ginny Pecaño was selected among the Philippines’ Most Astute Investors for the Local Currency Bonds category.
Additionally, Ivy May Mamauag, Mia Santiago, and Seth Gamboa received top honors in the Trading category for Local Currency Bonds as Investment Execution Officers for the bank.
Ms. Mamauag and Ms. Santiago also achieved the highest individual rankings for Best in Trading within the G3 Bonds category.
“Such achievements validate our commitment to fostering the nation’s fixed-income landscape. We remain dedicated to establishing superior standards of professionalism and integrity, grateful that The Asset continues to recognize our work,” said Fernand Antonio “Toto” A. Tansingco, Head of Metrobank’s Financial Markets Sector.
This milestone results from the steadfast trust of our wide-ranging client base—from institutional participants to retail investors—and illustrates the expertise, discipline, and strategic insight of our workforce, who are dedicated to guiding clients through evolving market conditions.” — VBR
