Amando M. Tetangco Jr.
Mr. Tetangco’s board election increased the number of PSPC independent directors to four joining the distinguished roster of Cesar A. Buenaventura, Fernando Zobel de Ayala, and Lydia B. Echauz.
Tetangco is the only person so far to have served two six-year terms as BSP governor from 2005 to 2017. He joined the BSP as a statistician in 1974, marking the start of a distinguished central banking career for over four decades that saw the country go through tough challenges.
As director of the International Economic Research Department, he was involved in crafting a debt-restructuring package in the 1980s to enable the country to postpone payments due to low foreign exchange reserves.
