Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Gov. Rafael B. Buenaventura belied reports
yesterday that Philippine bonds are losing their attractiveness to
investors.

In fact, Buenaventura said there are a lot of offers from various financial

He pointed out that while the spreads of Philippine bonds appear to be
widening, it is only because the base has reportedly narrowed.
