[Title] => First Pacific keeps 24.4% PLDT stake
[Summary] => Hong Kong-based First Pacific Co. Ltd. (FPC) is no longer selling its 24.4-percent controlling stake in Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co. (PLDT) until the latter’s value improves to a point that will allow FPC to recover its investment in the country’s largest telecommunications company.
This means that an offer by US investment firm Newbridge for the purchase of FPC’s shares shares in PLDT will have to wait. "There is intention on the part of First Pacific to maintain some level of management control in the meantime," an official source said.
