It offers products and services to retail and corporate markets, including borrowing (corporate, middle sector, SME, and consumer), deposit-taking, foreign exchange, brokering, trust and investment, credit cards, corporate cash management, and remittances. Via its subsidiaries, BDO provides Leasing and Lending, Investment Finance, Private Banking, Bancassurance, Insurance brokerage, and equity brokerage services. BDO has the largest distribution network of more than 1,300 operational branches and more than 4,000 ATMs across the nation. Banco de Oro started on 2 January 1968, called Acme Savings Bank, known as a Thrift bank with only two branches located in Metro Manila. Later, Sy Group obtains a group of companies owned by Henry Sy and gives its new name: Banco de Oro Savings and Mortgage Bank. In December 1994, it was set to a commercial bank and renamed Banco de Oro Commercial Bank. In the time of September 1996, it became a universal bank. These led to a change of the bank's name to the new Banco de Oro Universal Bank (BDO Unibank). It is one of several Chinese-Filipino-owned banks in the Philippines. In its 8 search to explore and affirm by vision, creativity, and price, BDO engaged in an insurance service in 1997 by creating a BDO Insurance Broker subsidiary, making it a corporation of "bancassurance." It extended its insurance in 1999 by Partnership with Assicurazioni Generali s.p.a, one of the world's major insurance agencies, and Jerneh Asia Berhad, Kuok Community from Malaysia. In March 2000, BDO became a partner. With its insurance affiliates, Generali Pilipinas Life Assurance Company and Generali Life Assurance Company, Insurance Company of Pilipinas. On 15 June 2001, BDO started merging with Dao Heng Bank's Philippine subsidiary. The merger raised the number of BDO Unibank branches from 108 before the merger, 129 to 120 after the merger. Its merging contributes to global competitiveness by expanding its branches to become available to other people increasing the number of depositors. It further extended when United Overseas Bank sold 66 out of its Philippine subsidiary's 67 branches to BDO Unibank after UOB's Philippine subsidiary is set to optimize its operations from retail to wholesale banking. On 22 March 2006, after completing the United Overseas Bank integrated into the BDO network, the number of BDO branches rose to 220. On 5 August 2005, 24.76% of the shares of Equitable PCI bank hold the record of being the third-largest bank in the Philippines and largest credit card issuers, founded by Go Family. The share was bought by Banco de Oro and an SM subsidiary, SM investments, and 10% Equitable Card Network. On 6 January 2006, BDO along with the SM Group of Companies submitted a proposal to Equitable PCI to swap a 1.6 of its share for every 1 Equitable PCI share or to base swap ratio on the book values of same banks to evaluate by a firm accountants 9 base on International Accounting Standards (IAS). For this proposal to take effect, Banco de Oro needs the Equitable PCI shareholders' permission to portray 67% of Equitable PCI. These comprise 29% Social Security System (SSS), 14% Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), and 8% to the family of Equitable PCI chairman Ferdinand Martin Romualdez. On 27 December 2006, the said proposal was settled, putting together the Banco de Oro-Equitable PCI bank, which became Banco de Oro Unibank Incorporation as of February 2007. Before the two companies' union, BDO is the second biggest bank with an asset of about P608 billion. Now BDO has 703 combined branches nationwide and commercial centers in Metro Manila, Northern and South Luzon, Metro Cebu, IloiloBacolod, and Mindanao. In 2009, BDO completed its acquisition of GE Money Bank with an agreement to obtain a minority stake of 1.5 in BDO Unibank through a share-swap deal, increasing its holdings to 10%. On 14 November 2013, Banco de Oro's objective is to acquire 99.99% of Citibank Savings Inc., which has ten branches and famous for being an Insular Savings Bank. In February 2014, obtain the trust business of Deutsche Bank's Manila branch. In July 2014, BDO bought The Real Bank Inc., wherein it adds 24 branches to its network. Before the end of December 2014, gain the name of One Network Bank as it has 105 rural 105 branches, and on 6 August 2019, it was renamed BDO Network Bank. Until now, Banco de Oro continues improving their services by providing Cash Accepting Machine (CAM), which allows people to deposit money anytime to any BDO Account with an ATM without transacting over the counter. Since BDO has Cash 10 Deposit Machine, providing security to its customers is a competitive advantage to other banks with an EMC chip in Debit/Credit Card implanted in it.

It may indicate a good position for the company. The high percentage changes of premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment (101%) and due from the other banks (71%) give rise to the total assets. The bills payable (92%) and other liabilities (98%) is the highest percentage change that resulted into 59% increase in the total liabilities and equity. In the income statement, the interest expense is much faster to increase the interest income, but it doesn’t affect that much because the net interest income was increased by 111%. Overall, BDO has a good performance in its operation due to an increase of 67% in its net profit for 5 years. A. LIQUIDITY RATIOS 1.

An archipelago with more than 109 million inhabitants, the Philippines being a member of the tiger cub economies in Southeast Asia with the ability to take advantage of the rising economy led to the increase of investments from neighboring countries and other investors. Based on the data from Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the total assets of the country’s banks accumulated for 81.4% of the total assets of the financial sector. With banks being the primary source of credit for the local economy and the most essential asset in the financial market, the GDP in the first half of 2017 accounted at 8.6%. The performance and condition of the banking system in the Philippines is negatively affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic and has forced banks to adjust daily operations in accordance with the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) last March 2020 which also affected their borrowers’ ability to pay their dues. Regardless, the financial soundness indicators (FSIs) confirmed that the banking system were able to adapt with the new normal during the first half of 2020. The demand for digital banking spiked up in which more than 4.1 million digital accounts registered online in both banks and non-bank electronic money issuers (EMIs) and the number of transactions using Insta Pay and PesoNet also increased. Market Segment Bank’s Business Segments include the following: • Retail Banking Segment • Wholesale Banking Segment 43 • Wealth Management Segment It is stated that in terms of income, retail banking is the number one contributor and is also known as personal banking, in which most individuals are acquainted with as it includes activities that happen in branch banking. Cash deposits, credit cards, and mortgages are the services that retail banking offers that targets new business clients. Retail banking income is divided into streams of interest and non-interest. Around 70 percent of retail sales are paid for by net interest income. In determining the interest earned on both credit cards and mortgages, subtract the interest charged on deposits and in total the percentage of non-interest income is at 30%. By taking the difference between both non-interest profits and operating costs, it is determined. Account costs, processing fees, credit card fees, and foreign exchange sales produce the revenues. The payments are mostly small sums and the consumers are relatively ignored. Compensation costs and maintenance costs are expenditures included in this section with the gross revenue of a bank adding up to more than 50%. Apart from retail banking, the second contributor in earnings is wholesale banking, also known as capital markets. It deals with clients in the corporation and institution that is associated with banking investment which includes trading, lending, sales, mergers, and acquisitions. Usually, in the wholesale banking segment its is normal to have a 15% to 40% total revenue. Determining the revenue in wholesale banking is difficult due to the complexity in estimating sales that stems from the lack of trade disclosures. For banks, wealth management is a fast growing market with its revenue stemming from retail brokerage services and from funds of the management. Wealth management is commonly priced for many reasons at a higher multiple than other segments. Due to lower credit standards, it is more lucrative, there is lower uncertainty, and there is greater growth. The sudden change in demographics of the population is because of the older generation that chooses to save for retirement instead of getting loans. This results to this segment to grow faster than the other two. As a majority of the 44 funds handled are held in equities in terms of revenue, trading commissions add to revenue. In recent years, there has been more trade action, which raises commissions. However, because of its focus on the stock markets, the short-term growth in trading income is a significant source of volatility. Contrastingly, because management-related payments do not rely on market success, there is no rise in volatility. Organizational Chart Figure 30 Table of Organization BDO Unibank, Inc.

New financial reforms, regulations, tax laws, political decisions/influence, etc., contain these powers. It affects the banking industry's competitiveness and potential limits on how a firm can function. Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) regulates the Philippines' financial services, with laws expressed in the Manual of Regulations for Banks (MORB) and its Monetary Board. The Republic Act 8791 or the General Banking Law of 2000 acknowledges banks' contractual essence, quasi-banks, trust entities, etc., which demands the utmost quality of performance and professionalism. It is the government's responsibility to foster and sustain a productive financial environment by developing and implementing laws established to monitor banking transactions and protect clients of the financial institutions. Aside from this, the Philippine Deposit Insurance secured additional protection for the banking industry. It mostly engages with money and specifications for capitalization, including functional criteria for commercial and universal banks. In 2017, after repealing the 17-year moratorium on issuing licenses to new domestic banks, they approved a new package of new rules for the granting of rights to banks and other financial institutions. The 1999 moratorium on foreign license approvals was in direct response to the Asian financial crisis. Which only allowed banks to set up in microfinance-focused unbanked areas. Competition in the banking sector will be affected knowing that the ban is lifted. Due to lockdowns caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, state-run Credit Information Corp. (CIC) advises financial institutions to restrain from marking as default or overdue missing or partial loan payments during enhanced community quarantine. In the midst of this epidemic triggered by the 2019 coronavirus disease or 62 COVID-19 pandemic, CIC President and Chief Executive Officer Jaime Casto Jose Garchitorena stated there is a need to ensure protection of consumer rights. Under Republic Act No. 11469 or Bayanihan to Heal as One Act enacted in 2020, all borrowers under the regulation of the BSP, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and Cooperative Development Authority, which include GSIS and Pag-IBIG, are mandated, with principal on interest, fines, fees and other charges, to impose a 30-day grace period on all loans with principal and/or interest falling due during the ECQ period. Economic According to the National Statistics Commission, the Philippines obtained approximately P 11.5 trillion in 2013 as its Gross Domestic Product. Since 2000, the country's GDP has been steadily rising. The Philippine economy increase by 7.2 percent in 2013. A variety of sectors, especially in the service sector, have been boosted. However, slowdowns are also experienced in some markets, such as imports and manufacturing. The effect of typhoons hitting the nation, which may have reduced GDP growth, contributes to these slowdowns. As investors responded to the tapering of the United States stimulus program, stock and bond prices dropped dramatically, the Philippine financial markets witnessed great uncertainty. However, development was accompanied by monetary and fiscal policy. Along with tax improvements and effective expenditures, government finances also continue to increase. In the other hand, the sluggish growth in emerging economies has been more or less untouched by remittances and the export of services. Cash remittances increased by 6.4% in the previous year, along with increasing demand for Filipino workers. In 2014, BDO Unibank acquired the leading rural bank in Panay and Mindanao having over 10o branches and micro-banking offices, One Network Bank, Inc (ONB). According to a statement released, the inclusion of ONB to the BDO Group is aimed to extend its reach in the southern part of the Philippines’ fast-developing industries. BDO 63 also noted that the movement also supports the initiative of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) to expand inclusive banking by branching and lending in the countryside. It indicated that it intends to extend its product portfolio to these underserved segments of the economy of the Philippines. A partnership with Rural Bank of Pandi Inc. (RBPI) to buy the banking company in Bulacan has been signed in February 2019 by BDO's subsidiary, One Network Bank Inc. (ONB). The acquisition is intended to provide ONB with a wider reach in the province and to progressively monitor its growth in Central Luzon, one of the country's most radical regions. Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) raised the benchmark interest rates five times to tame inflation in 2018. The facility for overnight reverse repurchase (RRP) of the BSP was increased by 25 basis points. In the five times they increased their benchmark interest rates, BSP produced a cumulative rise of 175 basis points. These inflation rate changes trigger changes in interest rates. Rates which have an enormous impact on the banking industry and its financial stability. It allows banks to offer cheap loans to customers when the interest rates are lower, and it entices them to apply for loans to buy the things they need and want. It boosts the economy and banks' profits. But individuals will try not to use credit cards or apply for a loan when the interest rates are higher. Shifts in inflation rates pose challenges for the Philippine economy and the banking industry's stability. Customer loans increased in July 2020 by 11 percent to P2.3 trillion as individuals around the world remain solely trapped in the middle of the coronavirus (COVID 19) pandemic. The BSP has reacted quickly to the looming crisis, specifically when it comes to allowing affordable new loans. In weak markets, though, banks are also left with large exposures. According to BSP and the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS), that as of December 2019 banks have substantial loans outstanding in the retail & wholesale (PHP1.3 trillion or 15% of total outstanding loans) 64 and manufacturing (PHP1.0 trillion or 12% of total outstanding loans) markets. Such industries are among the ones most affected by the pandemic. Socio-cultural, Demographic, and Lifestyle The lifestyles, customs, patterns, behaviors, and beliefs of humans are sociocultural influences. For all firms, these powers are relevant because they control customer purchasing behavior. Overtime influences the habits of customers. Sociocultural forces influence the way people use financial services concerning the banking sector. Approximately 51.2 million Filipino adults do not have bank accounts against the roughly 72 million Filipino adult population, according to a 2019 survey by Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP). It provided that the lack of sufficient money, as reported by about half (45 percent) of the unbanked, persists the top excuse for not having an account. This is a huge number of new target customers for the banking sector. They ought to know how to attract these Filipinos to banks to save, invest and make loans. Technological Technological advances have an immense effect on how organizations work around the globe. Banking for people means getting out of the door, standing in line for hours, and a lot of paperwork before technology changed the banking sector. With the relentless advancement of technology, however, new prospects are opening up for the banking sector. They now have services for clients that are more accessible and convenient with the transition of banking activities from paper to digital and networked systems. The banking sector has delivered benefits such as ATMs, telephone banking, automatic fund transfer, mobile and online banking through technical developments. However, behind this benefit, the problem of hidden defection arises. These minor hidden faults lead to decreased customer loyalty, which can lead to the switching of banks. Banks that do not react to these vulnerabilities are risking earnings. In addition 65 to defection, which is an inherently internal problem, there is also a possibility of data breaches and threats. Environmental The environmental element refers to any environmental aspect that influences the survival of one or more species. Banking and financial services play a significant role in trying to bring environmental sustainability. BDO's capacity to guarantee financial access to the majority of the population is crucial to building a more equitable system. The organization aims to be the ally of the country for social change by exploiting its capital. BDO released a sustainability study in 2018 outlining its intentions to help the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. BDO leverages its capital in support of the government's "Build, Build, Build" strategy to fund strategic infrastructure initiatives that stimulate economic production and encourage domestic and foreign investment to foster the country's sustainable growth. The devastating effect of climate change has taken center stage in the global arena in recent years. International agencies have campaigned to prioritize the mitigation of the environmental effects of industrialization. In the sense of sustainable growth and initiatives to resolve environmental issues, BDO, in collaboration with the International Finance Organization, serves as one of the leaders in developing Sustainable Energy Finance as an important solution to harnessing renewable energy sources. Opportunities and BDO's Responsiveness 1. Harnessing mergers and acquisition to have talents needed. Response Rate: 3 66 In accordance with the Basel Accords and universal best practices, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has implemented an increase in financial requirements for industry participants. In order to improve the financial sector, the BSP promotes mergers and acquisitions. BDO's merging and acquisitions contribute to its global competitiveness by extending its divisions through this and become open to other entities through growing the number of depositors. It has enhanced partnerships with their respective customer bases that have been developed and nurtured by the different market segments. 2. Increase in strength and profits from remittances from OFWs Response Rate: 4 The Philippine economic situation has presented the banking sector with probable prospects. As the service market continues to be strong, banks and their services are still strong. In addition, the rise in demand for eligible Filipino overseas workers, in turn, leads to an increase in remittances. 3. High demand for mobile banking applications Response Rate: 2 The need for accessibility for clients has been resolved with the use of online and mobile banking. On average, banking customers are now handling more of their banking experiences through smartphones and tablets than via any other platform, and, as stated by Bain and Company, Inc., the mobile channel has become a key element in the bid to win customer loyalty. 4. Drive towards sustainable energy projects Response Rate: 4 The move towards sustainable energy initiatives acknowledges the use of the production of alternative and green energy options. Growing demand for renewable energy projects would support the financial sector, resulting in large-scale investments. 67 5. Increase in the demands of loans during pandemic Response Rate: 3 Due to community quarantines, staff layoffs, and interrupted company processes, the cash flow of companies and retailers could be affected by decreased customer demands. The non-performing loans will easily escalate without adequate intervention by the regulators and the banks as borrowers fail to pay their principal and interests. 68 Threats and BDO's Responsiveness 1. Continuous development of bank competitors Response Rate: 2 Increased access to the internet and mobile banking has made it easier for consumers to receive more information on specific items from various financial institutions. 2. Decline in the usage of ATMs and physical branches due to demand in mobile applications Response Rate: 3 Due to dependency on mobile banking it decreases customer and bank managers' contact and partnerships. As the rise in mobile banking persists, the use of ATMs will also be at risk of declining. 3. Mobile scam and malware in mobile banking Response Rate: 3 Mobile banking is often vulnerable to risks. Apart from hidden defections, which are an entirely internal issue, data breaches and attacks are also likely. 4. Rise of inflation rate and interest rates Response Rate: 2 In the following years, the country's inflation rate would slow down growth in the financial services sector as BSP is committed to sustaining low and steady rates. The rise in interest rates, which in turn decreases the banks' tendency to lend their funds to the public, is one of the BSP's monetary instruments to combat inflation. 5. Failure of payments and decrease in the ability to pay of debtors during pandemic. Response Rate: 2 69 As the nation struggles with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Philippine government has ordered all lenders to extend a 30-day extension for all loan payments, including credit card dues and pawnshop loans. Considering the immediate steps taken by BSP to ensure liquidity in the economy through lower lending rates and reserve thresholds, banks are under pressure to operationalize these steps. 70 External Factor Evaluation (EFE) Matrix Figure 31 External Factors Evaluation Matrix BDO Unibank, Inc.

Six of these elements are considered as opportunities for BDO, while the remaining are considered as threats. The rate suggests which external factors are BDO’s opportunities or threats and how effective the strategy the company currently has. The ratings in the EFE matrix are subjective depending on the effectiveness of BDO’s strategy wherein a rating of ours is superior, three is above average, two as average and one as below average. In evaluating the performance of BDO in the industry, the weights are used to determine the importance of every external factor identified. The greater the weight, the more significant a factor it is. The company's leading opportunity is the rising demand of mobile banking applications due to the continuous advancement of technology and the convenience it gives to BDO’s clients, having the highest weight amongst five opportunities identified. As for the threats to the company, the chances of potential clients to shift to other banks increases as mobile banking is accessible to most BDO’s customers and opt for another financial institution looking for additional services/products. The usage of ATMs and physical branches of BDO are susceptible to dwindle as the demand for mobile banking rises. Mobile scam and malware have the highest weight caused by the rise of demand in mobile banking the vulnerability of the bank and customer’s information to security breaches also increases. In addition, because of the COVID-19 pandemic and with the government's aim to provide funding, banks will need to boost their activities quickly to handle current borrowers' weakening credit positions and absorb potential rises in new credit due to reduced interest rates. 72 CHAPTER V INDUSTRY AND COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS Banking Industry Bank is a licensed financial institution which provides financial services to receive deposits and make loans.

The data is categorized under Global Database’s Philippines Banking Industry Sub-Sectors Banking is made up of several segments—retail banking, commercial banking, and investment banking. Also known as consumer or personal banking, retail banking serves consumers rather than corporations. These banks offer financial services tailored to individuals including checking and savings accounts, mortgages, loans, and credit cards, as well as certain investment services. Corporate, commercial, or business banking, on the other hand, deals with small businesses and large corporations. Like retail banking, it provides account services and credit products that are tailored to the specific needs of businesses. An investment bank typically only works with deal makers and high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs)—not the general public. These banks underwrite deals, secure access to capital markets, offer wealth management and tax advice, advise companies on mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and facilitate the buying and selling of stocks and bonds. Financial advisors and discount brokerages also occupy this niche. 79 Porter’s Five Forces Model Figure 36 Porter’s Five Forces Model for BDO Unibank, Inc. Competitive Rivalry within the Industry (HIGH) The banking industry in the Philippines is difficult to penetrate as the national government regulates the establishment of banks in the country. This implies that there are few banks operating in the country. The banking competition is very tight. BDO has been very competitive and aggressive in the banking industry as it provides the best quality to its depositors, bringing in customers who patronize their financial services, as it also expands to its quest to explore and give strength through the vision, innovation and value. In every industry, it has always been a challenge to every business, what their competitors has to offer. These factors such as extending warranties, enhance quality, add features, provide services, and boosting advertisements, are one of the primary reason why BDO has been very aggressive, a threat to all banking companies especially its competitors such as Security bank, Bank of the Philippine Island, and Union Bank of the Philippines. 80 As for rivalry among competitors, the threat is intense because all banking institutions offer the same financial services: leasing, loans, savings, certificate of deposits, checks and etc. With respect to their strategies, every banks have their own perks and advantages to have more customers. Whether BDO has long banking hours or BPI’s Tele-Banking features. The low market growth rate of the banking institution affects the BDO which can only truly grow with the loss or assimilation of other banks as was the case for BDO which has been compromised of Banco and Equitable-PCI Bank. Threat of Substitutes (MEDIUM) In banking institution, the competitive pressure rises from substitute financial services increase as the price of services declines and as consumers’ switch cost decrease. Some of the BDO’s threats are not from its competitors but the failure of payment of the borrowers, market crash, loss in trade and securities, mutual funds and etc. which can also be offered by the non-banking sector. The difficulty of entering the banking industry and the competitive rates and changes, there is still a possibility of cater clients who are not able to transact with banks, like pawnshops and lending houses, which can become a substitute. Pawnshop have now remittances service. Threats of New Entrants (LOW) New potential competitors are always become a threat in every field of business. Possible threats may include; emergence of cheaper technologies, government regulatory requirements, changes in demographics. As of now, there is now new commercial bank entering in the Philippine banking industry. Bargaining Power of Suppliers (LOW) The financial services provided by the banks cannot be easily substituted. There is also a limitation in the differentiation of services provided ad possibility forward integration. 81 The BDO’s continuous relationship building with another organization expanded its networks through branches expansion. Other than that, the fast service availability of next generation components are widely denomination of initiatives focusing on the compensation and benefits of its employees, officers, and staffs. The issues between unions resolution and program developments program supports the changes in services, structure, an system. The competitive pressure scales derived from the development of other financial services from the competitors is generally an evidenced by rivals’ plan from its expanding its capacity, as well as their sales and growth profit numbers. Bargaining Power of Customers (HIGH) One of the major force that affects the intensity of competition in the banking industry is the bargaining power. With BDO’s strategies and mindset, they view the banking process as a continuous creative cycle that challenge them to always find ways to provide better service for its customers. The use of online platforms through internets helps BDO to increased its power of the consumer in the industry. The BDO’S mobile banking or so called digital banking helps to have faster transactions of deposits, withdrawals, transfer of money and bills payment has greatly increased the ease to its customers. Despite the challenges appear on the horizon, particularly during pandemic and the forecast of a US recession and the new SEC implemented rules on over-the-counter market securities trading, BDO still remains upbeat on its prospects. Increased in widened spread scan lead to have more opportunities. The internet also has greatly increased the power of the consumer in the banking industry. The internet has greatly increased the ease and reduced the cost for consumers to compare the prices of opening/holding accounts as well as the rates offered at various banks. Thus, Union Bank is pursuing a three-point strategy to digitize 82 its operations. The first plan is to digitize the whole Bank. The idea is that it must be fully digital as fast as possible in terms of operations and processes. Major Competitors Selection for the major competitors were based on the market share of the Banco de Oro in banking industry. • Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) Bank of the Philippine Islands is the Philippines’ oldest bank and one of the oldest of all Asian banks.

A significant component of successful strategic planning is recognizing the forces at work in the industrial sector. Using industry averages enables a company to measure and benchmark itself against where it stands in comparison to businesses in the same industry. Industry averages of financial accounting data helps assess the overall performance of the company. Another method to equate a specific company with the average of all industry participants is using ratio analysis and comparisons. A business can gain knowledge 88 about where to stand in relation to the industry average by contrasting a specific ratio for one company with that of the overall industry.

Their core should be on developing innovative products and services, attracting the consumers to purchase their offers. To formulate their products and services, it will take them to present strategies. In developing these strategies, the following measurements should be relatively to their common target which is gaining and satisfying consumers. Table 30 Strategic Objectives for Banco De Oro Inc. Improving operational performance, but also enhancing its ability to satisfy consumer needs. Profitability Retaining the industry-leading return on equity with an outstanding financial record of drawing more buyers and to reduce the risk. Further strengthen the digital network of the Bank to become a successful distribution of sales and service channel.

Differentiation Boost their strategic edge as a result of improved productivity and specialization of services. Customer Relationship Creation of a consumer feedback system to improve the services delivered. Providing a strong customer experience to the client to win their loyalty. 114 Specific Strategy According to the Mission-Vision declaration of BDO, the Matrix for External Factor Assessment (EFE), and the Internal Factor Evaluation Matrix (EFE), the following strategies can be addressed: I. Investing more in mobile banking technology, financial transactions, and applications II. To achieve a continuously higher net income expenditure III. To increase the sector's market share IV. To have an even higher net income while maintaining costs Strategy Implementation Based on the internal and external analysis that form the basis of matching strategies, three strategies are used to maximize the market share and improve it. Horizontal integration, Market, and Product Development are the following methods. The most suitable of the three is Product Development. In a sector with comparatively high growth rates, BDO has a high market share. In the banking sector, various players are part of BDO's competitors. UBP, SECB, and BPI are in the top three. Doing so will raise the company's market share. 115 1. Horizontal Integration To increase its reach, BDO will develop its goods and services by harnessing mergers and acquisitions to have talents needed to meet new technology's innovation, apart from producing more branches or ATMs. This, in essence, would lead to an expansion of the BDO's relative market share. Provided the high capitalization of BDO, development of digital network and programs of the Bank is possible to implement. a.) To have an ever higher net income while maintaining costs The benefit is one measure of success in any sector. As far as BDO is concerned, it would convert plans into revenues to see how those goals are accomplished. The technological creation for BDO would transform into innovative and improved goods and services that will improve sales and raise interest earnings, applications for loans, acquisitions, and receivables. BDO is expected to begin with a 10% increase followed by a steady 5% increase per year. Also, BDO has the task of establishing shareholder value through higher returns. Besides, the reduction in the BDO capital adequacy ratio is discussed, which is either an increase in equity or a profit increase. BDO is expected to begin with an increase of 10% then slowly increase by 10% annually. To further profit growth, BDO should sustain expenditures rather than reducing or lowering them, except for operational expenditures, if necessary while retaining other expenditures.

The pain killers that would have to be applied have to with the economies of scale to address cost and strategic positioning of resources to address these pain points. 117 2. Market Development/Penetration BDO should continue to pursue its market penetration as one of the leading players in the banking sector and the biggest market share in the industry. The preferred banking institution on the markets it represents as one of its duties. In its new status, BDO cannot be complacent. Enhanced marketing strategy for its latest products would help BDO in its existing markets explore deeper target. However, when its base is more robust, BDO should not lose sight of its current markets. a.) To increase the sector's market share While BDO is at the top of the market, it would be too costly to be complacent, especially if the banking industry players are very aggressive as they will overpower BDO in the market share. It is also intended to discuss the goal of BDO to become the leading bank in its markets. The rise in market share would also further boost BDO's capitalization, strengthen its finances, deliver new goods, and a proactive reinvention to fulfill market demands consistently. The larger capitalization and assets can acquire more remittances abroad to expand its market and increase profits from OFW's. 3. Product Development One of the BDO's priorities is to invest more in mobile banking and other banking innovations. It was expected to develop BDO's mobile banking program. The simple transfers should be prepared and tap-free for such an application. Protection, including updated codes, and coding systems and backup systems, should also be strengthened. 118 BDO wants technologies to improve its services in bank branches, aside from online services. This addresses its goal to provide services flawlessly. Use computers to speed up transfers or to arrange delays. To achieve its goals, BDO must bear in mind that quality service must become its priority. BDO must capitalize on its good support units in Research and Development and Information Technology Departments to promote this product growth. The high capitalization of BDO is also an indicator that the firm can afford this growth. a.) Investing further in mobile banking software technology and transactions of banks. This is BDO's response to the market's growth for mobile banking applications in the banking sector. BDO capitalizes on its assets, suitable support units for science and information, and technology by spending more on technology and its high capitalization. The incorporation of better technologies in BDO's goods and services also ensures that service delivery and innovation are more flawless, both part of the BDO Project Vision declarations. Better security also provides secure transactions that resolve the insecurity of digital properties against infringements and assaults and the protection of BDO. This target responds in 10-folds to BDO's targets. b.) Hiring of new employees/Employees Training and Development for new processes An increasing demand of new technology demand for a further training and development of skill or hiring of new employees to secure the handling wave of 119 consumers using their mobile devices during the time of pandemic. It is a fair opportunity to add additional workers to accommodate the growing numbers of mobile users. Some employees will be differentiated by their expertise in modern media, marketing, and industry technology. This is a fundamental matter for a business; younger applicants who are technologically advanced could be superior to elderly candidates for these skills. With strategies 1 and 2 being set in place, Banco De Oro can now improve its services and products, which is the new introduction of services and products.

The strategy map above illustrates that through a faster processing time and online servicing, improving employee retention will benefit the company. In comparison, product awareness development leads to creative services and features, in which will bring new potential high valued clients to the company. Customer loyalty would also remain strong with the enhanced internal procedures, both online and physical branches nationwide. This leads to a greater chance that current consumers will seek new or additional services. To conclude, the rise in the amount of sales made by both new and current customers would result in an increase in sales and an improvement in market share. The strengthened financial condition would then contribute to sustaining the high productivity of the operation. 140 CHAPTER XII PROJECTED FINANCIAL STATEMENT Projected Statements of Financial Position Figure 56 Projected Statements of Financial Position for BDO Unibank, Inc.

The financial institution should focus more on its strengths and improve its services and maintain as the top local bank against its competitors. With the increasing value of capitalization in the last five years and having a good, fixed asset turnover, it is expected to be here in the long run. Its financial operations were doing well from 2015 to 2019, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the banking industry suffered a huge setback. As for its operations, several threats hinder the bank for 2020 and the coming years. However, with the right strategy, BDO can recover from the losses caused by the pandemic. With the rising demand for mobile banking applications caused by several lockdowns nationwide and the convenience it offers to BDO clients, it is prone to threats such as malware and mobile scams. Further research and developments must be done on BDO’s products and services and studies on other banks to compare their different characteristics and figure out the right strategy to face the impact of the worldwide pandemic to recover by the next few years fully. BDO is currently taking progressive steps to boost its economic recovery and sustainability but implementing these strategies in time for future situations to come remains. 147 List of Figures Figure 1 Milestones of BDO Unibank, Inc. ............................................................... 11 Figure 2 Business Model Canvass of Banking Companies ..................................... 12 Figure 3 Dupont Analysis of BDO Unibank, Inc........................................................ 13 Figure 4 BDO Unibank, Inc.
