The MKSE was organized on 27 May 1963 by five businessmen, namely: Hermenegildo B. Reyes, Bernard Gaberman, Eduardo Ortigas, Aristeo Lat and Miguel Campos. Due to several difficulties encountered from those who opposed its creation, operations started only on 16 November 1965 and was located Insular Life Building in Makati, the financial district of Metropolitan Manila and later moved to its new offices at the Makati Stock Exchange Building along Ayala Avenue on 17 September 1971.

Although the two exchanges remained as separate entities, they basically were trading the same listed issues. The idea to unite the two exchanges and have it managed by a professional group became a compelling vision of the government headed by President Fidel V. Ramos. The idea was geared towards the development of a more efficient capital market.
