As we celebrate BAIPHIL Week 2026 (March 9–14), we also mark an important milestone — the 85th anniversary of the Bankers Institute of the Philippines (BAIPHIL).

For over eight decades,  BAIPHIL has played a vital role in developing the capabilities of banking and financial services professionals in the Philippines, supporting the industry through training, knowledge sharing, and collaboration with regulators and industry leaders.

This year’s theme, “BAIPHIL @ 85: Partnerships that R.I.S.E. — Resilience, Inclusivity, Sustainability, and Engagement,” highlights the importance of working together to strengthen the Philippine banking sector and prepare it for the future.

Throughout the week, BAIPHIL will host a range of activities designed to promote learning, collaboration, and community impact, including:

• A General Membership Meeting and Executive Learning Session featuring leadership insights on building resilient and sustainable organizations

• Training programs and industry discussions led by subject matter experts and regulators

• Media and Communication Empowerment sessions in partnership with the Inquirer Academy

• A Financial Wellness talk as part of our commitment to financial literacy

• Member fellowship and sports activities that strengthen camaraderie within the industry

BAIPHIL Week is not only a celebration of our history, but also a platform to advance professional excellence, deepen industry partnerships, and support the continued development of banking professionals.

We invite our members, partners, and industry stakeholders to join us in this meaningful week of learning, engagement, and collaboration.

Thank You Ron Cruz  and Salve Ibañez and ANC Business Outlook  for this feature.
