Banking sources said the Go family decided to keep their shareholdings in the bank, especially, now that a significant number of its depositors who had earlier withdrawn heavily from the bank at the height of the impeachment trial against former President Estrada, have returned.


The sources said this prompted the Go family’s change of heart.

                    [Title] => Go family has change of heart about Equitable sale
                    [Summary] => The Go family which  owns about 30 percent of Equitable PCI Bank is reportedly no longer interested in selling its stake in the bank.


Banking sources said the Go family decided to keep their shareholdings in the bank, especially, now that a significant number of its depositors who had earlier withdrawn heavily from the bank at the height of the impeachment trial against former President Estrada, have returned.


The sources said this prompted the Go family’s change of heart.
