MANILA, Philippines—The group of former Trade Minister Roberto V. Ongpin has won the bidding for a controlling stake in Philippine Bank of Communications.
PBCom disclosed to the Philippine Stock Exchange on Thursday that the Ongpin-led ISM Communications Corp. had been selected by the selling shareholders—the Luy, Nubla and Chung families—as the bank’s “third party” investor subject to regulatory approvals.
