Paypal Philippine Bank Codes

I am using Paypal for payment transactions to and from my clients abroad for awhile now. I’m pretty happy with the service. It’s really easy to pay for online purchases and to get payments. There’s no need to expose your bank account numbers and other personal information. Your email address will be your identification in Paypal.
I only encountered a problem when I tried to withdraw funds for the first time. Paypal was asking for a 9 digit bank code. So I called Unionbank to ask for the bank code. But they don’t have any idea what their bank code is, or if they have a bank code for Paypal. They gave me a swift number instead. And when I insisted that it’s not the swift number I was referring to, but a different number. The bank lady advised me to call Paypal.
I’ve checked on Google for answers to my query. And I found a site with the Bank Codes Listing for Paypal. Here’s the list I copied for your use.

Bank Codes of Major Banks in the Philippines

In the Philippines, to complete your PayPal withdrawal, you will need to enter the name of your bank, your bank account number and the corresponding 9-digit bank code, which identifies your bank.
