It’s official: Banco Filipino is closed and is now under the receivership of the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC).
On March 18, the PDIC announced it is taking over Banco Filipino and initial steps to start the processing of claims are now under way.
For depositors with balances of P5,000 and below
The PDIC said that next week, it will start paying depositors whose deposit account balances are less than P5,000. Such depositors are NOT required to file claims anymore. The PDIC will send their money through Postal Money Order (PMO) which can be encashed in all postal offices and branches of LandBank of the Philippines nationwide.
For depositors with more than P5,000 balance
Other depositors such as those with deposit balances of more than P5,000 and those with less than P5,000 balances but without updated addresses in the bank’s records and with loans are REQUIRED to file deposit insurance claims.
Claim Forms will be distributed during the Depositors’ Forum scheduled below.
Depositors’ Forum Dates and Venues

According to the PDIC, the schedule of Depositors Forum for other branches will be announced later.
Steps for PDIC Claims Processing
1. Secure a claim from any authorized PDIC representative during the Depositors’ Forum.
2. Fill out the claim form and sign the section “Signature of Depositor/Claimant over Printed Name”. Ensure that the signature tallies with the signature of the depositor upon opening of the account at the bank.
3. Submit the accomplished claim form together with the following documents:
- original evidence of deposit (such as savings passbook, certificate of time deposit, latest bank statement including unused checks and ATM card);
- original and photocopy of two (2) valid photo-bearing IDs (such as passport, SSS/GSIS ID, PRC ID, Senior Citizen ID, Driver’s License, TIN, Voter’s ID/Registration, OWWA/ OFW ID, Seaman’s ID, ACR ID) with clear signature of depositor/claimant;
- original copy and photocopy of the Birth Certificate from the National Statistics Office (NSO) or duly certified copy from the local civil registrar, for depositors below eighteen (18) years old
4. A Claim Status Sheet will be issued to the depositor which shall serve as notice of the status of the claim.

According to depositor’s forum yesterday, I heard that the time deposit with double your money or any kind of deposit, money will stop to earn interest up to the time banco filipino closed. All depositors with more than 500k deposit, they have to wait for the sale of assets of Banco Filipino. Only 500k is covered by PDIC.

asan ba si aguirre? bakit d niya asikasuhin ang problema ng banco filipino ,
kelan ba isusubmit ang claim form ng above 5k and 500k .i need that money sana bilisan nila processo ,at saan paanu makukuha ung remaining na money pag above 500k? pdic pa rin ba kasi sa forum kay aguirre daw sa banco filipino ,bullshit talaga ,pinapahirapan pa mga dipositors sila na nga itong pinahiram ng pera pangnegosyo .
Is the Guadalupe branch depositors claim form ready to be accepted by your good office? If yes When? Thank you very much.
kelan poba pwedeng ipasa yung form????? para matapos na to…..kung this week kelan yung exact date??????????
kasi sinasabi ng tao ng pdic basta this week…pero walang exact date….hindi cla sure…sana lang matapos na po ito….akala ko ba SUBOK NA MATIBAY SUBOK NA MATATAG….san na yung tatag at tibay?????why bumagsak????????
Kapag nakapagclaim ka na sa pdic for example yung P500,000.00 maximum, may nagsabi sakin na di mo na makukuha yung the rest ng deposits mo kasi nga daw nagclaim ka na sa insurance or pdic. Dapat daw wag mag claim para makuha ng buo ang deposits mo. How true is this?
