Key points from the press briefing held on March 27, 2019 regarding loan agreements that the country has entered into:

  • There are no collaterals in any of the loan agreements signed by the Philippine government.
  • A waiver of immunity is standard across loan agreements the Philippines has signed, whether explicitly stated or implied via an agreement to arbitral proceedings. A waiver of immunity only allows the Philippines' counterparty in an agreement to take the country to arbitration, in the unlikely event that the Philippines defaults on its loans.
  • Arbitral rulings are still subject to the Philippine Constitution, court system and public policy.
  • The Philippine government is managing its debt responsibly.
