                    [Summary] => After running into controversy last year, PBCom is expected to come up with a rehabilitation plan this January as the bank prepares for a Tier 1 capital infusion to raise its capital adequacy ratio. 


According to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), PBCom is getting its rehabilitation plan ready before applying for Monetary Board approval for its Tier 1 offer. 


BSP Governor Rafael  Buenaventura said the Tier 1 offer would hopefully improve PBCom’s capital adequacy ratio (CAR).

The guest list – all friends and all as equally successful in making money as Wash SyCip – was short enough for one table of good food and equally good liquor, naturally.

                    [Summary] => How can we decisively continue to maintain the relatively SARS-free situation of the Philippine society? Imagine, if all men and women are forced to wear medical masks, why, we’d be worse off than the extremist Taliban regime that used to lord over Afghanistan who forced all women to cover their faces. It would be such a calamity not being able to appreciate the many beautiful faces of women if they start walking around in masks.
