The average rate of the six-month paper rose to 3.958 percent from 3.810 percent during the auction last Sept. 19. Meanwhile, had the auction committee fully awarded the three-month paper, its average rate would have risen to 4.397 percent and the one-year tenor to 4.888 percent. These were at 2.070 percent and 3.782 percent for the three-month and one-year T-bills, respectively, during the auction last Aug. 22. The BTr offered all tenors for PHP5 billion each and only the six-month paper was oversubscribed at PHP9 b
