On February 3, 1936, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced that it had
"relinquished control of the Manila Stock Exchange."[5]
The Philippine Stock Exchange was formed on December 23, 1992 from the merger of
the Manila Stock Exchange (MSE) (established on August 12, 1927, based on Muelle de la
Industria, Binondo, Manila) and the Makati Stock Exchange (MkSE) (established on May 15,
1963, based in the Makati Central Business District, within Ayala Tower One). Both
exchanges traded the same stocks of the same companies.
In June 1998, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) granted the PSE a "Self-
Regulatory Organization" (SRO) status, which meant that the bourse can implement its own
rules and establish penalties on erring trading participants (TPs) and listed companies.
In 2001, the PSE was transformed from a non-profit, non-stock, member-governed
organization into a shareholder-based, revenue-earning corporation headed by a president
and a board of directors and on December 15, 2003 listed its own shares on the exchange
(traded under the ticker symbol PSE).
On January 4, 1993, the former Manila Stock Exchange started the computerization of its
operations using the Stratus Trading System (STS) with a company called Equicom. On
June 15, the former Makati Stock Exchange adopted the MakTrade trading system. Both
systems were linked on March 25, 1994 to produce a One Price-One Market exchange. Two
years later, on November 13, 1995, the implementation of the Unified Trading System (UTS)
allowed the use of a single-order-book system on a MakTrade software where all the orders
are posted and matched in one computer.
In October 2004, the Securities Clearing Corporation of the Philippines (SCCP), a clearing
and settlement agency for depository eligible trades, became a wholly owned subsidiary of
the PSE. The SCCP acts as the settlement coordinator and risk manager for broker
transactions as well as administrator of the trade guaranty fund.
In 2005, the PSE adopted an online daily disclosure system (ODiSy) to improve the
transparency of listed companies and ensure full, fair, timely and accurate disclosure of
material information from all listed companies. The ODiSy provides a 24/7 online system
access for the submission of all types of disclosures.
On July 26, 2010, the PSE launched its new trading system, PSEtrade, which replaced the
MakTrade system. The system was acquired from the New York Stock Exchange.
On June 22, 2015, the PSE launch its new trading system, the PSEtrade XTS, which will
replace the PSEtrade system acquired from the New York Stock Exchange. The new trading
system will be acquired from the NASDAQ
In 2016, The Marquee Awards of Alpha Southeast Asia magazine recognized PSE as the
Best Stock Market in Southeast Asia for the year 2015.
The Alpha Southeast Asia, Named PSE Again as the Best Stock Market in Southeast Asia
in 2017, for 4 Times in 5 Years.
In 2019, The PSE has introduced a new index that will help track the overall returns of the
main index, The Total Return Index (PSEi TRI), as part of the efforts to create a broader
investor base for the market.
The Philippine Stock Exchange first appeared in 1993, but its history runs much longer. The
exchange was a merger of the Manila Stock Exchange and the Makati Stock Exchange,
which created a single exchange in the Phllippines. The merger also served as a symbol to a
country that had seen its share of political divisions that the nation could act in a singular
direction.
Manila Stock Exchange
The Manila Stock Exchange was founded Aug. 8, 1927, by five U.S. businessmen. It was in
the Insular Life Building on Plaza Cervantes, Binondo. Founders W.P.G. Elliot, W. Eric Little,
Gordon W. Mackay, John J. Russell and Frank W. Wakefield said that they wanted a stock
exchange that would serve the public, practice ethical standards and uphold good business
practices. They also claimed that trading in stocks would stimulate the Philippine's economy.
The Manila Stock Exchange moved to Pasig in 1992.
Makati Stock Exchange
The younger Makati Stock Exchange was founded May 27, 1963. It, too, had five founding
members: Miguel Campos, Bernard Gaberman, Aristeo Lat, Eduardo Ortigas and
Hermenegildo B. Reyes. Because the Philippines already had an operating stock exchange,
there was opposition to a second one. The exchange, which was in the Insular Life Building
in Makati, did not begin operating until Nov. 16, 1965. In 1971, it moved to its own building
on Ayala Avenue in Makati
Competition
Though the Philippines had two stock exchanges, they both traded the same stocks. They
were duplicating efforts, but they had different policies, different members and different stock
prices. It soon became evident that the country needed only a single stock exchange.
Unification
Philippine President Fidel Ramos led the effort to unite the two exchanges as one. The
Philippine Stock Exchange was founded July 14, 1992, and by Dec. 23, both the Makati and
the Manila exchanges agreed to become part of it.
