Filipinos can invest in government securities for as little as P5,000 as the government encourages the public to consider Retail Treasury Bonds (RTBs) as an investment option while helping fund public programs and projects.
Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Undersecretary and Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said the funds raised through the RTBs could support government initiatives in education, healthcare, business assistance, job creation and other programs aimed at strengthening the economy.
“Ginawa po ito ng gobyerno para sa ordinaryong Pilipino, sa empleyado, sa maliliit na negosyante at sa pamilyang gustong palaguin ang kanilang pinaghirapang ipon,” Castro said during a press briefing at Malacañang on Thursday.
The RTBs offer a fixed annual interest rate of 6.875 percent for a 2.5-year term, which Castro said provides investors with potential earnings while allowing the government to raise funds for its programs and projects.
The government also aims to make the investment accessible to more Filipinos, with enrollment available through mobile banking applications and e-wallets.
“Madali lang po ang pag-enroll dito, pwede na po itong gawin sa ating mga mobile banking apps at e-wallets,” Castro said.
The RTB subscription period runs from Sept. 29 to Oct. 7, 2026, while the settlement date is set for Oct. 12.
The government said the investment is open to ordinary Filipinos, including employees, small business owners and families looking to grow their savings.
More information on the RTBs, including the complete list of participating selling agents, is available through the Bureau of the Treasury website.
