Document background
The Performance Letter of Guarantee is a crucial financial instrument in Philippine commercial transactions, particularly in sectors requiring substantial performance assurance. This document is commonly used in construction projects, government contracts, and large commercial undertakings where one party needs security for the other's performance obligations. The guarantee, issued by Philippine banks under the supervision of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, provides an independent and usually unconditional commitment to pay upon valid demand. It must comply with Philippine banking regulations and commercial law, including the New Central Bank Act and relevant BSP circulars. The document typically includes detailed information about the underlying contract, guarantee amount, validity period, and claim conditions. The Performance Letter of Guarantee has become increasingly important in both domestic and international transactions involving Philippine entities, serving as a risk mitigation tool and facilitating commercial relationships.
