These closed bank and PDIC-owned assets will be offered for sale exclusively through the PDIC’s e-bidding portal at https://assetsforsale.pdic.gov.ph, making it easy and convenient for buyers to participate from anywhere. Through its secure and fully digital portal, the PDIC ensures that its e-bidding is a transparent and simplified process that connects buyers directly to valuable property opportunities.

Up for sale are 44 real properties, nine (9) of which may be found in Koronadal City, the provincial capital of South Cotabato. Koronadal City is known as the regional administrative center of SOCCSKARGEN (Region XII), and is likewise an emerging hub for education, commerce, and culture. Known for its highly affordable living, minimal traffic, and safe atmosphere, Koronadal City is regarded as one of Mindanao’s most livable cities, making it an ideal place to build a home or business.

Other properties include 24 residential lots, 19 agricultural lots, and one (1) mixed residential/agricultural lot with areas ranging from 80 square meters to 19.5 hectares. The Visayas properties are located in the provinces of Antique, Cebu, Guimaras, and Iloilo. Meanwhile, the Mindanao properties are located in the provinces of Agusan del Norte, Maguindanao, Sultan Kudarat, North Cotabato, and South Cotabato.

Interested buyers may view the complete property catalogue, detailed descriptions, bidding procedures, and requirements, through the official PDIC e-bidding portal. Participation requires a one-time registration at https://assetsforsale.pdic.gov.ph/Account/Register, which provides access to this and future PDIC asset auctions.

All properties are offered on an “as-is, where-is” basis. The PDIC strongly encourages all prospective buyers to conduct thorough due diligence, including verification of property condition, ownership, and other relevant considerations. Participants are likewise advised to carefully review all Conditions of Bid prior to submission of bids.

Winning bidders for agricultural properties must submit a certification from the Provincial Agrarian Reform Officer (PARO) of the Department of Agrarian Reform in the province where the property is located and an Affidavit of Aggregate Landholdings within fifteen (15) days after the e-bidding. The PARO certification should confirm that the agricultural lot is not covered by the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) and that no Emancipation Patent or Certificate of Land Ownership Award has been issued for the property. The affidavit should state that the winning buyer's collective landholdings, including the property/ies to be acquired during the bidding, do not exceed the five-hectare limit set by law. The prescribed formats for the Certification and Affidavit may be downloaded for free from the Download Center of the e-bidding portal at https://assetsforsale.pdic.gov.ph.

Participants bidding on behalf of another individual or an organization may also download free of charge, the pro-forma Special Power of Attorney and Secretary's Certificate, respectively, from the e-bidding portal.

As the statutory receiver, the PDIC liquidates the remaining assets of closed banks to maximize recoveries and help settle claims of closed bank creditors, including depositors with uninsured deposits. Proceeds from the sale of closed bank-owned properties go directly to a fund that the Corporation manages for these closed banks to settle creditors’ claims, while revenues from the sale of corporate assets are added to the Deposit Insurance Fund, the funding source for valid deposit insurance claims.
