LEADING pre-need firm PhilPlans First Inc. has acquired P2.2 billion worth of memorial lots at The Heritage Park in Taguig City as part of its bid to dominate the life plan industry.

PhilPlans, an affiliate of the STI Group, said it had acquired more than 10,000 lots at the memorial park from the following companies: Philippine National Bank, Prestige Equities Inc., Brookfield Realty and Development Corp., Westfield Realty and Development Corp. and Yellowstone Realty Corp.

In an earlier disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, PNB announced the sale of the bank’s Heritage Park inventory covered by 3,827 Heritage Park Investment Certificates (HPICs) to PhilPlans for P1 billion.
