BPI sda bills have the term of 31 days, but “renewable” every after 31 days (or every month).
it has an indicative net yield of 4.45411% fixed per month, but may vary after end of every term. the minimum requirement to get sda bills is 100k, with a 10k increment should an investor wants to go over 100k.
seems like a good investment because it is safe.

Hello,
I want to solicit ur opinion if it is a wise investment & profitable to invest in Dollar Bonds for 5 years rather than in high yielding government securities for 5 years also. Considering u have P100,000 where do u want to invest it that gives a higher returns after 5 years.
Thanks & more power. i am always reading ur articles.
Goodday!
