Its headquarters is at The Beaufort, the flagship luxury condominium project of Filinvest Development Corporation at the Bonifacio Global City with extension offices at PBComm Tower Makati City (Call Center Division), Hanston Building (Customer Care), and Pasong Tamo Extension (formerly the country head office of Levi's Philippines).

-------------------------------------------------
History
EastWest Bank was created on July 6, 1994 as the Philippines' thirty-fourth commercial bank. It was on that date that the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas granted EastWest Bank its commercial banking license. Backed-up by the Filinvest Group of Companies, EastWest Bank opened to the public along Senator Gil Puyat Avenue, Makati on August 1, 1994. This was the comeback of the Gotianun's in the banking space after they sold the Insular Bank of Asia and America to PCIBank in 1986 (which was acquired by Equitable Bank forming Equitable PCI Bank which in turn was acquired by Banco De Oro in 2006) and Family Savings Bank to BPI (which was renamed BPI Family Savings Bank).
EastWest Bank has developed its online banking facilities and has embarked on a full computerization program for a more efficient system to deliver bank products and services. It moved to its present headquarters at the 20th floor of PBCom Tower in November 2001.
In 2004, the Bank received the prestigious Best Website Award in the Banking andj Finance category of the 7th Philippine Web Awards, the most coveted award in the field of web design.
EastWest Bank has a network of 129 branches and 145 ATM terminals, this after the merger with the former AIG Philam Savings Bank. The merger resulted in EastWest Bank becoming the sixth largest lender for housing, auto and credit cards in the country. The bank now currently has 250 branches and more than 350 ATMs in the

    It began with the curiosity of a young African American male, name Wes Moore. Whose name appeared in the Baltimore sun in December of 2000. An article was written announcing that he, a young “fatherless” son of yet another single mother, was receiving a Rhodes scholarship. Little, did he know that, not far from his “memorable” write up in the Baltimore Sun, would be a series of article that would change his life even more than his scholarship that he had earned. What was written, were articles, about another “fatherless” son of the city. A young man, who accompanied three others, in a botched jewelry robbery, that ended with a Police officer being shot and killed.…

    One thing that I learned from watching the video John Adams that I did not already know about America’s struggle for independence is that there were many disagreements among the framers. Some were for the Declaration of Independence and some were against it. Some feared the British Parliament as others rather took the risk to form an independent nation. But as all things, there is not anything that cannot be solved. In the end, the Declaration Of Independence was written and the United States became a free nation.…

    Many people around the world have accomplished something to make them revolutionary. Some use this magic in ways to help the world, but others do not. The second president of the United States, John Adams, is one of these figures that helped the world. When England was taking advantage of the United States, Mr. Adams found ways to help the colonies break away and to become a separate country. John Adams was a delegate from Massachusetts who convinced representatives from each state and many more important figures to declare independence. Without the revolutionary actions of John Adams the world as we know it today would be quite different.…

    Patch Adams

    I truly enjoyed seeing Patch Adams again. I have always loved this movie and I think it was a wonderful choice to use as an example for professionalism and patient care. In my opinion I feel that Patch became a role model by showing his classmates that his ways actually did work and had wonderful results. Even if they were against him and his ways they all eventually saw that his ways were very wonderful and productive. I think Patch is professional as a physician in his own way. His way of professionalism my not be accepted by modern society but he doesn’t do it in a way to be unprofessional he is being true to himself and his beliefs. Yes there were some episodes in the movie that would be considered unprofessional like the bedpans on his feet/head, the display for the gynecological convention, asking if he could take out a dying man’s wife. But in all honesty I do not believe he meant anything bad by it. He was just trying to cheer up sick and dying people. Most people in these kinds of situations are very scared and having something fun happen can take their mind off the situation even if it’s just for a few minutes and that is wonderful. I myself would not do things he did but I don’t feel it is necessarily wrong in the context he meant it. Laughter is wonderful medicine for many reasons it releases feel good endorphins, it reduces pain, it lowers blood sugar levels, increases blood circulation, and can relieve stress just to name a few. I feel laugher can be appropriate for any situation depending on the patient; some patients would like humor all the time no matter what and some wouldn’t. It’s a situation where you would have to “feel out” your patient to determine If it’s appropriate or not. I would absolutely love to have the opportunity to work for the Gesungheit Institute. I think it would be a wonderful learning opportunity. To learn to give so freely and lovingly is something that our society as a whole could really use more of. I personally think it…
