                    [Summary] => The Senate has scheduled for floor deliberations the proposal to extend the coverage of Republic Act No. 9182 or the Special Purpose Asset Vehicle (SPAV) Act. 


Sen. Ralph Recto, chairman of the Senate ways and means committee, has submitted the report for plenary debates which recommended an 18-month extension of the period for the establishment and registration of SPAVs.

The committee also recommended an extension for two years the transfer of non-performing assets of banks and financial institutions to the SPAVs without changing the existing fiscal incentives.

And this could prove to be much more interesting since the House version passed early this year is reputedly pro-borrower while that of the Senate is pro-bank.

Officials said yesterday that the emerging consensus to water down the SPAV law to the point where it would apply only to the disposition of foreclosed assets would eliminate the objective of encouraging banks to dispose of problematic loans for restructuring.

However, Sen. Ralph Recto, chairman of the Senate committee on ways and means and principal author and sponsor of the bill, remains hopeful that it would be passed on Sept. 30 when Congress resumes session.

Sen. Sergio Osmeña III, however, is convinced that the measure, unless amended, would not pass muster in the Senate.
