PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT TO PROSPECTUS DATED DECEMBER 15, 2010
US$1,500,000,000
Republic of the Philippines
5.00% Global Bonds due 2037
The Republic of the Philippines (the "Republic") will pay interest on the global bonds on January 13 and July 13
in each year. The first interest payment on the global bonds will be made on July 13, 2012 in respect of the
period from (and including) January 13, 2012 to (but excluding) July 13, 2012. The Republic may not redeem the
global bonds prior to their maturity. The global bonds will mature at par on January 13, 2037.
The global bonds will be designated Collective Action Securities, and, as such, will contain provisions regarding
certain aspects of default, acceleration, voting on amendments, modifications, changes, waivers and future issues
of global bonds that differ from those applicable to most of the Republic's outstanding External Public
Indebtedness. Under these provisions, which are described in the section entitled "Collective Action Securities"
on page 108 of the accompanying prospectus dated December 15, 2010, the Republic may, among other things,
amend the payment provisions of the global bonds and certain other material terms with the consent of the
holders of not less than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding global bonds.
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, Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, and Euroclear Bank, S.A./N.V., on or
about January 13, 2012.

SUMMARY OF THE OFFERING
This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus. You should read the entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus
carefully.
Issuer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Republic of the Philippines.

Interest . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The global bonds will bear interest at 5.00% from January 13, 2012,
payable semi-annually in arrears.
Interest Payment Dates . . . . . . . . . . . . January 13 and July 13 of each year, payable to the persons who are
registered holders thereof at the close of business on the preceding
January 8 or July 8, as applicable, whether or not a business day. The
first interest payment will be made on July 13, 2012 in respect of the
period from (and including) January 13, 2012 to (but excluding)
July 13, 2012.
Maturity Date . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . January 13, 2037.
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. Except as otherwise described, the global
bonds will at all times rank at least equally among themselves and
with all other unsecured and unsubordinated External Indebtedness
(as defined in the accompanying prospectus) 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.

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
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.
S-5

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

exceptions. See "Description of the Securities--Description of the
Debt
Securities--Additional
Amounts"
in
the

most of the Republic's outstanding External Public Indebtedness.
Under these provisions, which are described in the section entitled
"Collective Action Securities" on page 108 of the accompanying
prospectus dated December 15, 2010, the Republic may, among other

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
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

on, and the transfer thereof will be effected only through, records
maintained by the depositary and its direct and indirect participants.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The information in this section supplements the information about the Republic that is included in the
accompanying prospectus dated December 15, 2010.
Recent Political Developments
State of the Nation Address
On July 25, 2011, President Benigno Aquino delivered his second State of the Nation Address. The
President highlighted the current administration's efforts against corruption and abuses of power by Government
officials, noting that the number of wasteful Government projects had been reduced. The Republic also recorded
a reduction in rice imports as a result of an increase in domestic rice production and the elimination of
unnecessary stockpiling. Government programs also alleviated hunger and poverty among Filipino families in
2011; however, approximately 1.6 million impoverished families continue to receive Government assistance.
The President also noted that over the past year, the Republic's credit rating had been upgraded by Moody's,
Standard and Poor's, Fitch, and the Japan Credit Rating Agency. These upgrades enabled the Government to
reduce its borrowing costs in the first four months of 2011. The President also noted that the Philippine Stock
Exchange ("PSE") composite index had recorded seven record highs in the previous 12 months. In addition,
increased investor confidence in the energy sector was reflected in the participation of 140 companies in the
bidding process for oil and gas sites as part of the 2011 Philippine Energy Contracting Round ("PECR"),
compared to only 35 companies participating in the 2006 PECR.
Philippine Development Plan
On May 28, 2011, the National Economic and Development Authority ("NEDA") unveiled the
Government's Philippine Development Plan ("PDP") for 2011 to 2016. The PDP provides targets and strategies
to build sustainable and inclusive growth, focusing on five key result areas: good governance and anti-corruption;
human development and poverty reduction; economic development; security, justice and peace; and climate
change adaptation and mitigation. To achieve these results, the PDP emphasizes investments in infrastructure,
transparency in Government and responsive governance, improved social services and social protection,
enhancing competitiveness in the productive sectors to generate employment and improving access to financing.
The Government has begun implementing certain aspects of the PDP, including the approval of a National
Climate Change Action Plan focusing on water governance, improvement of fish yields and other programs to
address the impacts of climate change.
Efforts against Corruption
Arrest of Former President Arroyo
On November 18, 2011, former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was arrested on charges of electoral
sabotage related to the 2007 Senate elections. At the time of her arrest, Mrs. Arroyo had been admitted in a hospital,
claiming a rare bone disease. On November 15, 2011, Mrs. Arroyo had attempted to leave the Philippines to receive
medical treatment abroad, citing the Supreme Court of the Philippines' decision granting her the right to leave the
country. However, Government officials, on the strength of a watch list order, prevented her from departing. An
arrest warrant was issued on November 18, 2011 by a lower court after the Philippine Commission on Elections
filed charges alleging Mrs. Arroyo had ordered large-scale tampering with official election returns in the 2007
Senate elections, which helped win a seat in the Senate for one of her supporters. The Government's case against
Mrs. Arroyo for alleged electoral sabotage is now pending before the lower court.
Impeachment of Supreme Court Chief Justice Corona
On December 12, 2011, the House of Representatives impeached Renato Corona, Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of the Philippines. The impeachment followed a series of decisions by the Supreme Court that
S-9

hindered the Government's efforts to prevent former President Arroyo from leaving the Philippines for medical
care. The impeachment complaint accuses Corona of, among other charges, improperly issuing decisions that
favored Mrs. Arroyo, including the decisions to allow Mrs. Arroyo to leave the Philippines. The complaint also
accuses Corona of failing to disclose all of his properties, in violation of administrative rules applicable to
Supreme Court Justices.
The impeachment complaint has been sent to the Senate, which will hold a trial to determine if Corona
should be removed from his position. The trial is expected to begin in January 2012.
Military Corruption Allegations
In January 2011, President Aquino ordered the Department of Justice to investigate allegations of corruption
within the Armed Forces of the Philippines ("AFP") after retired Philippine Army Colonel George Rabusa
testified in a Senate hearing that various AFP chiefs of staff had embezzled millions of pesos during their
respective tenures. Colonel Rabusa specifically alleged that Angelo Reyes, former Chief of Staff of the AFP
under former President Arroyo, illegally received P50 million as a "retirement gift" when he retired in 2001.
These allegations follow earlier reports of military officials embezzling portions of soldiers' salaries and a
mutiny by a group of junior military officers in 2003 over alleged corruption in the AFP. On April 14, 2011,
Colonel Rabusa filed complaints for plunder against three previous AFP chiefs of staff. These complaints remain
pending before the Philippine Department of Justice.
Internal Conflict with Rebel Groups
On January 1, 2011, a new AFP security plan called "Bayanihan" (meaning "spirit of unity") took effect.
Bayanihan replaced the "Oplan Bantay Laya" campaign launched in 2002. The new campaign focuses on
non-combat operations targeted to eliminate poverty and other causes of rebellion, while pursuing peace talks
with communist groups and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front ("MILF"). The plan is scheduled to remain in
effect until 2016.
Moro Islamic Liberation Front
On January 14, 2011, the Government announced that formal peace talks with the MILF would resume for
the first time since negotiations stalled in 2008. On February 7, 2011, it was reported that one of the MILF's
senior commanders, Ameril Umbra Kato, led a faction that separated from the MILF. Despite this development,
peace talks proceeded as planned in Malaysia on February 9 and 10, 2011. During those talks the MILF
submitted a "comprehensive compact" of proposals to the Government in an effort to conclude its demand for
self-determination in Mindanao. Both sides agreed to retain an international peace monitoring team to uphold a
ceasefire as negotiations continue. The Government and the MILF met again on August 22 and 23, 2011, during
which meeting the Government submitted its formal counterproposal to the comprehensive compact submitted
by the MILF. The MILF rejected this plan and stated that it would refuse to hold further direct talks with the
Government until it agreed to discuss the MILF's demand for an autonomous Muslim sub-state in the southern
Philippines. On October 19, 2011, 19 AFP troops were killed in a firefight with MILF rebels in the southern
province of Basilan. Despite this clash, the Government and the MILF resumed peace talks in early December
2011, and discussions between the two sides are ongoing.
Communists and Affiliated Groups
On December 14, 2010, ten soldiers from the AFP were killed in a raid by suspected members of the New
People's Army ("NPA") in Northern Samar province. The AFP has also stated that NPA members fired at AFP
troops on December 23, 2010, in violation of a ceasefire agreement that was to be effective between the
Government and the NPA from December 16, 2010 to January 3, 2011. An NPA spokesperson refuted the AFP's
claim and accused AFP troops of launching their own attacks in violation of the ceasefire.
