NEWS/PRESS RELEASE
PR-051-19
Date of Release: June 26, 2019
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) generated a total of PhP38.5 million from the sale of 35 properties of closed banks through public biddings held in April and May 2019 in Makati City.

Assets yielded an aggregate premium of PhP6.3 million over the total minimum disposal price of PhP32.2 million. These assets, all located in Luzon, consisted of 28 residential lots with improvements, six residential lots and one lahar lot. Proceeds from the sale of closed banks’ properties are added to the pool of funds of these banks for distribution to creditors and uninsured depositors in accordance with the rules on concurrence and preference of credits.

Since January 2019, PDIC has generated a total of PhP112.5 million from the sale of 107 properties through PDIC public biddings. Collectively, the biddings yielded an aggregate premium of PhP17.3 million over the total minimum disposal price of PhP95.2 million.

The expeditious liquidation of assets is one of the strategic directions of PDIC as liquidator of closed banks. To help ensure that recoveries from closed banks’ assets are maximized, PDIC sells assets via competitive biddings. Interested buyers are encouraged to visit the PDIC website at www.pdic.gov.ph and click on the Assets for Sale icon for information on the inventory of available assets for sale.

Unsold assets from public biddings may be acquired by interested parties via negotiated sale.
