The Manila Banking Corp., the country's third biggest thrift bank, expects to
become a commercial bank in the next two to three months following the
completion of its merger with TA Bank, Manila Bank senior vice president and
corporate secretary David Puyat said yesterday.

As a commercial bank, Manila Bank will be a niche player, Puyat said in an
interview with The STAR.

Manila Bank acquired 60 percent of the formerly Malaysian-controlled TA Bank in
October last year.
