PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT TO PROSPECTUS DATED FEBRUARY 11, 2016
US$2,000,000,000
Republic of the Philippines
3.70% Global Bonds due 2041
The Republic of the Philippines (the "Republic") will pay interest on the global bonds on March 1 and
September 1 in each year. The first interest payment on the global bonds will be made on September 1, 2016 in
respect of the period from (and including) March 1, 2016 to (but excluding) September 1, 2016. The Republic
may not redeem the global bonds prior to their maturity. The global bonds will mature at par on March 1, 2041.
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 (as
defined in the accompanying prospectus dated February 11, 2016). Under these provisions, which are described in the
section entitled "Collective Action Securities" on page 140 of the accompanying prospectus, 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 ("DTC"), Clearstream Banking, S.A. ("Clearstream, Luxembourg"), and
Euroclear Bank, S.A./N.V. ("Euroclear" or the "Euroclear System"), on or about March 1, 2016.

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.
Bonds . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . US$2,000,000,000 3.70% Global Bonds due 2041.
Interest . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The global bonds will bear interest at 3.70% from March 1, 2016,
payable semi-annually in arrears.
Issue Date . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . March 1, 2016.
Interest Payment Dates . . . . . . . . . . . . . March 1 and September 1 of each year, payable to the persons who
are registered holders thereof at the close of business on the preceding
February 24 or August 27, as applicable, whether or not a business
day. The first interest payment will be made on September 1, 2016 in
respect of the period from (and including) March 1, 2016 to (but
excluding) September 1, 2016.
Maturity Date . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . March 1, 2041.
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.
See "Description of the Securities--Description of the Debt
Securities--Status of Bonds" in the accompanying prospectus.
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
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

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 contain provisions regarding 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 140 of the accompanying
prospectus, the Republic may, among other things, amend the
payment provisions of the global bonds and certain other terms with
the consent of the holders of not less than 75% of the aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding global bonds.
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
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
S-6

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 February 17, 2016, 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.
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. Each of Citigroup
Global Markets Inc., The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking
Corporation Limited and Standard Chartered Bank and/or their
respective affiliates may be a holder of certain of the Old Bonds as set
forth in the Invitation for Offers and may, together with their
respective affiliates, each 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
Citigroup Global Markets Inc., The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking
Corporation Limited and Standard Chartered Bank have investment
discretion are not permitted to purchase the global bonds, either
directly or indirectly, without the specific written approval of the
accountholder.
S-7

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

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The information in this section supplements the information about the Republic that is included in the
accompanying prospectus dated February 11, 2016.
Inflation
Inflation, measured as the change in the consumer price index or CPI, for the month of January 2016 was
1.3%, lower than the December 2015 inflation rate of 1.4% and the January 2015 inflation rate of 2.4%. The
lower inflation rate in January 2016 compared to January 2015 was primarily due to a decline in prices for
housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels. The indices for food and non-alcoholic beverages, clothing and
footwear, furnishing, household equipment and routine maintenance of the house, health, recreation and culture,
education and restaurant and miscellaneous goods and services also recorded smaller gains in January 2016
compared to January 2015.
In 2015, the producer price index recorded average deflation of 6.6%, a higher rate of deflation than the
annual deflation rate of 0.9% recorded in 2014. The price indices for petroleum products, wood and wood
products and electrical machinery contracted by 20.7%, 18.7% and 15.6%, respectively, in 2015, compared to a
contraction of 2.5% and increases of 2.6% and 1.3%, respectively, in 2014. The price indices for footwear and
wearing apparel, printing, rubber and plastic products, non-metallic mineral products, basic metals, transport
equipment and furniture and fixtures also recorded contractions during 2015.
International Reserves
As of January 31, 2016, preliminary data indicate that the Republic's gross international reserves were
$80,158.5 million, a decrease of 0.7% from the $80,716.0 million recorded as of January 31, 2015 and a decrease
of 0.6% from the $80,666.9 million recorded as of December 31, 2015. The decrease in January 2016 compared
to the level recorded in December 2015 was due mainly to a $1,015.7 million decrease in foreign investments
during the month, which was partially offset by a $337.9 million increase in gold reserves and a $170.9 million
increase in foreign exchange reserves. The level of gross international reserves as of January 31, 2016 was
sufficient to cover approximately 10.2 months of imports of goods and payments of services and income, and
was equivalent to 5.5 times the Republic's short-term debt based on original maturity and 4.0 times based on
residual maturity. Net international reserves at the end of January 2016 were $80,156.5 million.
The Philippine Securities Markets
As of February 16, 2016, the Philippine Stock Exchange composite index closed at 6,744.0, a 3.0% decrease
from the 6,952.1 recorded as of the end of 2015, and a 6.7% decrease from the 7,230.6 recorded as of the end of
2014.
Debt
Public Sector Debt
As of September 30, 2015, total outstanding consolidated public sector debt was P7.3 trillion, equivalent to
55.8% of the Republic's GDP, compared with a public sector debt-to-GDP ratio of 58.8% as of December 31,
2014. As of September 30, 2015, total outstanding consolidated Government debt was P5.9 trillion, reflecting a
3.5% increase over the P5.7 trillion recorded as of December 31, 2014. Total domestic debt decreased by 5.0%
to P5.0 trillion as of September 30, 2015 from P5.3 trillion as of December 31, 2014. The decrease was partially
offset by an increase in foreign debt of 6.5% to P2.3 trillion as of September 30, 2015 from P2.1 trillion as of
December 31, 2014. The overall increase in Government debt was attributed to an increase in borrowings and
issuances of securities by the Government during the period from January 1, 2015 to September 30, 2015.

the P5,735.2 billion recorded as of December 31, 2014. The increase was mainly due to a 8.1% increase in
external medium- and long-term debt from P1,914.6 billion as of December 31, 2014 to P2,070.2 billion as of
December 31, 2015. The increase was partially offset by a decrease of 6.1% in domestic short-term debt from

increase from the P3,820.6 billion recorded as of December 31, 2014. The increase was mainly due to a 2.3%
increase in treasury notes and bonds from P3,538.3 billion as of December 31, 2014 to P3,619.3 billion as of
December 31, 2015. The increase was partially offset by a 6.1% decrease in treasury bills from P281.7 billion as
of December 31, 2014 to P264.4 billion as of December 31, 2015.
Direct External Debt of the Republic
As of December 31, 2015, the total direct external debt of the Republic was $43.9 billion, a 2.5% increase
from the $42.8 billion recorded as of December 31, 2014. The increase was mainly due to a 13.7% increase in
external multilateral loans from $8.7 billion as of December 31, 2014 to $9.9 billion as of December 31, 2015.
External issuances of U.S. dollar bonds also increased by 1.2% from $23.2 billion as of December 31, 2014 to
$23.5 billion as of December 31, 2015. These increases were partially offset by a 4.2% decrease in external
bilateral loans from $6.7 billion as of December 31, 2014 to $6.4 billion as of December 31, 2015, and by a 5.2%
decrease in external issuances of Philippine Peso notes from $2.9 billion as of December 31, 2014 to $2.8 billion
as of December 31, 2015.
Government-Guaranteed Debt
As of December 31, 2015, total outstanding guarantees of indebtedness by the Republic amounted to
P437.9 billion, a 2.7% increase from the P426.2 billion recorded as of December 31, 2014. The increase was
mainly due to a 17.2% increase in domestic Government guarantees from P118.1 billion as of December 31,
2014 to P138.4 billion as of December 31, 2015. The increase was partially offset by a 2.8% decrease in external
Government guarantees from P308.1 billion as of December 31, 2014 to P299.5 billion as of December 31,
2015.
