Editor's Note: For the purposes of this article, Philippine Banks or the Philippine Banking System refers to the Philippine Commercial and Universal Banking System and the Philippine Thrift Banking System. We are ignoring the Philippine Rural and Cooperative Banking System whose asset base is tiny in comparison to the whole banking system (Php 217.88 billion or 1.58% of the Php 13,777.29 billion in assets held in the Philippine Banking System as of March 31, 2017).
In an April 9, 2012 article entitled "Stress Test Proves Strength of PH Banks", "Philippine banks are seen to survive a disaster in which the various lenders are forced to write off loans as large as PhP 36 billion without asking shareholders, the central bank, or the national government for bailout money." This assertion stems from a recent stress test conducted by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) on all 55 regular and commercial and expanded license banks.
For Philippine Banks, these NPLs currently comprise PhP 139.25 billion or 8.97% of the PhP 1,552.38 billion in Stockholders Equity (SE) as of March 31, 2017. So, writing off 50% of the Philippine Banks NPLs would reduce their aggregate stockholder's equity by a little less than 5%.
Naturally, some banks would be more affected than others. For more information regarding this, please read The Top Distressed Philippine Banks as of March 31, 2017).
The stockholder's equity of seven banks would be severely affected. These banks are:
- Philippine Postal Savings Bank Inc (132.39% decline in SE)
- World Partners Bank (130.76% decline in SE)
- Luzon Development Bank (89.87% decline in SE)
- Enterprise Bank Inc (45.46% decline in SE)
- Equicom Savings Bank (43.55% decline in SE)
- Legazpi Savings Bank Inc (43.04% decline in SE)
- Maritime Savings Bank Corporation (33.20% decline in SE)

Are NPLs the Right Numbers to Look At?
In a financial crisis, a loan that is current can very well become past due, and a past due loan can become a non-performing loan, and a non-performing loan can become a loan write-off. The real number to look at are the loans that the banks and BSP already consider doubtful: Classified Loans.
Investopedia.com defines "Classified Loans" as:
"Any bank loan that is in danger of default. Classified loans have unpaid interest and principal outstanding, and it is unclear whether the bank will be able to recoup the loan proceeds from the borrower. Banks usually categorize such loans as adversely classified assets on their books."
The US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), similar to our very own Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC), defines Classified Loans as:
"Loans classified Loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be effected in the future."

In Circular #0247 dated May 19, 2000, BSP defines Classified Loans as loans which possess the following characteristics:
- Loans especially mentioned because they have potential weaknesses that deserve Management's close attention;
- Substandard Loans are loans which appear to involve a substantial and unreasonable degree of risk to the institution because of unfavorable record or unsatisfactory characteristics;
- Doubtful Loans are Substandard Loans with the added characteristics that existing facts, conditions, and values make collection or liquidation in full highly improbable and in which substantial loss is probable;
- Loss loans are loans that are considered uncollectible or worthless and are of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted although the loans may have some recovery or salvage value.
- Loans Especially Mentioned: 5%
- Substandard - Secured: 6% - 25%
- Substandard - Unsecured: 25%
- Doubtful: 50%
- Loss: 100%

This level of classified loans should be measured against the bank's "capital cushion" or its ability to absorb losses. Capital Cushion is normally defined as a bank's "Tangible Common Equity" plus its Loan Loss Reserves. Tangible Common Equity (TCE) refers to the subset of shareholders' equity that is not preferred equity and not intangible assets. So it excludes such items as Hybrid equity (like preferred shares) and goodwill.
By this measure, the level of "Classified Loans and other Risky Assets" amounts to Php 349.93 billion or 20.66% of the Php 1.69 trillion in Total Capital Cushion of Philippine Banks as of March 31, 2017.
Stress Test Scenarios
Aggregate
So how will a 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and even 50% write-off of Classified Loans affect the Total Capital Cushion of the Philippine Banking System?
In the aggregate, if Classified Loans amount to 20.66% of the banking system's Total Capital Cushion, then it follows that a 10% write-off of Classified Loans will reduce the total capital by 2.07% and a 50% write-off of classified loans will reduce the banking system's Total Capital Cushion by 10.33%.
Individual Banks
A 10% write-off of Classified Loans would severely impact (by 30% or more) the Total Capital Cushion of two banks (severely affected banks highlighted in yellow).
