The Office of the Deputy Governor of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas issued this memorandum to adjust reserve requirement computations for banks and quasi-banking institutions due to Tropical Storm Kristine. The directive designates October 23 and 24 as non-reserve days while maintaining October 25 as a reserve day, requiring the reserve position from October 22 to carry over through October 24. Consequently, the reserve weeks of October 18-24 and October 25-31 are merged into a single reserve week to determine any abuse of the privilege to offset reserve deficiencies against excess reserves.
