3.000% Global Bonds due 2028
The Republic of the Philippines (the "Republic") will pay interest on the global bonds on February 1 and August 1 in each
year. The first interest payment on the global bonds will be made on August 1, 2018 in respect of the period from (and
including) February 1, 2018 to (but excluding) August 1, 2018. The Republic may not redeem the global bonds prior to their
maturity. The global bonds will mature at par on February 1, 2028.
The global bonds will be the direct, unconditional, unsecured and general obligations of the Republic and will rank without
any preference among themselves and equally with all other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated external
indebtedness of the Republic. It is understood that this provision shall not be construed so as to require the Republic to make
payments under the global bonds ratably with payments being made under any other external indebtedness of the Republic.
The global bonds will be designated Collective Action Securities issued under a fiscal agency agreement, as supplemented by
a supplement to the fiscal agency agreement to be executed on or before the settlement date, and constitute a separate series of
debt securities under the fiscal agency agreement. The fiscal agency agreement will contain provisions regarding future
modifications to the terms of the global bonds that differ from those applicable to the Republic's outstanding external public
indebtedness issued prior to February 1, 2018. Under these provisions, which are described in the section entitled "Description
of the Global Bonds," the Republic may, among other things, amend the payment provisions of any series of debt securities
(including the global bonds) and other reserve matters listed in the fiscal agency agreement with the consent of the holders of:
(i) with respect to a single series of debt securities, more than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt
securities of such series; (ii) with respect to two or more series of debt securities, if certain "uniformly applicable"
requirements are met, more than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series affected
by the proposed modification, taken in the aggregate; or (iii) with respect to two or more series of debt securities, more than
662/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series affected by the proposed modification,
taken in the aggregate, and more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series
affected by the proposed modification, taken individually.
The offering of the global bonds is conditional on the receipt of certain approvals of the Monetary Board of the Bangko
Sentral ng Pilipinas, the central bank of the Republic.
The global bonds are being offered globally for sale in the jurisdictions where it is lawful to make such offers and sales.
Application has been made to admit the global bonds to listing on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to
trading on the Euro MTF Market ("Euro MTF"). We cannot guarantee that the application to the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange will be approved, and settlement of the global bonds is not conditional on obtaining the listing.
We expect to deliver the global bonds to investors in registered book-entry form only through the facilities of The Depository
Trust Company ("DTC"), Clearstream Banking, S.A. ("Clearstream, Luxembourg"), and Euroclear Bank, S.A./N.V.
("Euroclear" or the "Euroclear System" ), on or about February 1, 2018.

accompanying prospectus. You should read the entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus
carefully.

payable semi-annually in arrears.
Issue Date . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . February 1, 2018.
Interest Payment Dates . . . . . . . . . . . . . February 1 and August 1 of each year, payable to the persons who are
registered holders thereof at the close of business on the preceding
January 27 or July 27, as applicable, whether or not a business day.
The first interest payment will be made on August 1, 2018 in respect
of the period from (and including) February 1, 2018 to (but
excluding) August 1, 2018.
Maturity Date . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . February 1, 2028.
Issuer Redemption . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The Republic may not redeem the global bonds prior to maturity.
Status of Bonds . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The global bonds will be direct, unconditional, unsecured and general
obligations of the Republic and will rank without any preference
among themselves and equally with all other present and future
unsecured and unsubordinated External Indebtedness (as defined in
the accompanying prospectus) of the Republic. It is understood that
this provision shall not be construed so as to require the Republic to
make payments under the global bonds ratably with payments being
made under any other external indebtedness of the Republic. The full
faith and credit of the Republic will be pledged for the due and
punctual payment of all principal and interest on the global bonds.
See "Description of the Securities--Description of the Debt
Securities--Status of Bonds" in the accompanying prospectus and
"Description of the Global Bonds."
Negative Pledge . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . With certain exceptions, the Republic has agreed that it will not create
or permit to subsist any Lien (as defined in the accompanying
prospectus) on its revenues or assets to secure External Public
Indebtedness (as defined in the accompanying prospectus) of the
Republic, unless at the same time or prior thereto, the global bonds
are secured at least equally and ratably with such External Public
Indebtedness. The international reserves of Bangko Sentral represent
substantially all of the official gross international reserves of the
Republic. Because Bangko Sentral is an independent entity, the
Republic and Bangko Sentral believe that the international reserves
owned by Bangko Sentral are not subject to the negative pledge
covenant in the global bonds and that Bangko Sentral could in the
S-5


future incur External Public Indebtedness secured by such reserves
without securing amounts payable under the global bonds. See
"Description of the Securities--Description of the Debt Securities--
Negative Pledge Covenant" in the accompanying prospectus.
Taxation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The Republic will make all payments of principal and interest in
respect of the global bonds free and clear of, and without withholding
or deducting, any present or future taxes of any nature imposed by or
within the Republic, unless required by law. In that event, the
Republic will pay additional amounts so that the holders of the global
bonds receive the amounts that would have been received by them
had no withholding or deduction been required, subject to certain
exceptions. See "Description of the Securities--Description of the
Debt
Securities--Additional
Amounts"
in
the
accompanying
prospectus.
Collective Action Clauses . . . . . . . . . . . The global bonds will be designated Collective Action Securities
issued under a fiscal agency agreement, as supplemented by a
supplement to the fiscal agency agreement to be executed on or
before the settlement date, and constitute a separate series of debt
securities under the fiscal agency agreement. The fiscal agency
agreement contains provisions regarding future modifications to the
terms of the global bonds that differ from those applicable to the
Republic's outstanding external public indebtedness issued prior to
February 1, 2018. Under these provisions, which are described in the
section entitled "Description of the Global Bonds," the Republic may,
among other things, amend the payment provisions of any series of
debt securities (including the global bonds) and other reserve matters
listed in the fiscal agency agreement with the consent of the holders
of: (i) with respect to a single series of debt securities, more than 75%
of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of
such series; (ii) with respect to two or more series of debt securities, if
certain "uniformly applicable" requirements are met, more than 75%
of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of
all series affected by the proposed modification, taken in the
aggregate; or (iii) with respect to two or more series of debt securities,
more than 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding debt securities of all series affected by the proposed
modification, taken in the aggregate, and more than 50% of the
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each
series affected by the proposed modification, taken individually.
Cross-Defaults . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Events of default with respect to the global bonds include (i) if the
Republic fails to make a payment of principal, premium, prepayment
charge or interest when due on any External Public Indebtedness with
a principal amount equal to or greater than $25,000,000 or its
equivalent, and this failure continues beyond the applicable grace
period; or (ii) if any External Public Indebtedness of the Republic or
the central monetary authority in principal amount equal to or greater
than $25,000,000 is accelerated, other than by optional or mandatory
S-6


prepayment or redemption. See "Collective Action Securities--
Events of Default: Cross Default and Cross Acceleration" in the
accompanying prospectus.
Listing . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The Republic is offering the global bonds for sale in the United States
and elsewhere where such offer and sale is permitted. Application has
been made to admit the global bonds to listing on the Official List of
the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to trading on the Euro MTF.
The Republic cannot guarantee
that the application
to the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange will be approved, and settlement of the
global bonds is not conditional on obtaining the listing.
Form, Denomination and
Registration . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The global bonds will be issued in fully registered form in minimum
denominations of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof. The global bonds will be represented by one or more global
securities registered in the name of a depositary, its nominee or a
custodian. Beneficial interests in the global securities will be shown
on, and the transfer thereof will be effected only through, records
maintained by the depositary and its direct and indirect participants.
Settlement of all secondary market trading activity in the global
bonds will be made in immediately available funds. See "Description
of the Securities--Description of the Debt Securities--Global
Securities" in the accompanying prospectus.
Further Issues . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The Republic may from time to time, without notice to or the consent
of the registered holders of the global bonds, issue further bonds
which will form a single series with the global bonds. See "Collective
Action Securities--Further Issues of Debt Securities" in the
accompanying prospectus.
Use of Proceeds . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The Republic intends to use the net cash proceeds from the sale of the
global bonds to pay the purchase price and accrued interest for the
bonds that it purchases pursuant to its invitation for offers (the
"Invitation for Offers") in respect of certain series of the Republic's
foreign currency-denominated bonds (the "Old Bonds") announced
on January 18, 2018, as well as expenses incurred by the Republic in
that transaction. The Republic may also use any proceeds for general
purposes of the Republic, including budgetary support.
Fiscal Agent . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor in interest to JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A.).
Governing Law . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The Fiscal Agency Agreement (as defined below) and the global
bonds will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York. The laws of the Republic will govern
all matters governing authorization and execution of the Fiscal
Agency Agreement and the global bonds by the Republic.
S-7


Conflicts of Interest . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . As described in the "Use of Proceeds," the Republic intends to use a
portion of the net cash proceeds from the sale of the global bonds to
pay the purchase price and accrued interest for the Old Bonds it
purchases pursuant to the Invitation for Offers. Standard Chartered
Bank and/or its respective affiliates may be a holder of certain of the
Old Bonds as set forth in the Invitation for Offers and may, together
with its respective affiliates, receive 5% or more of the proceeds from
the offering of global bonds. Because of the manner in which the net
proceeds are being used, the offering of global bonds will be
conducted
in
accordance
with
Financial
Industry
Regulatory
Authority ("FINRA") Rule 5121. In accordance with that rule, the
appointment of a "qualified independent underwriter" is not necessary
in connection with the offering of global bonds because the securities
offered hereby are investment-grade rated. Accordingly, the offering
of global bonds is being made in compliance with the requirements of
FINRA Rule 5121. Additionally, client accounts over which Standard
Chartered Bank has investment discretion are not permitted to
purchase the global bonds, either directly or indirectly, without the
specific written approval of the accountholder.
S-8


USE OF PROCEEDS
The Republic intends to use the net cash proceeds from the sale of the global bonds to pay the purchase price and
accrued interest for the bonds that it purchases pursuant to its Invitation for Offers, as well as expenses incurred
by the Republic in that transaction. The Republic may also use any proceeds for general purposes of the
Republic, including budgetary support. None of the underwriters shall have any responsibility for the application
of the net cash proceeds from the sale of the global bonds.
