ILOILO City – The Philippine Deposit Insurance Corp. (PDIC) took over Rural Bank of Barotac Viejo (Iloilo), Inc. on Feb. 24 after the Monetary Board of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas prohibited the bank from doing business in the country.
Rural Bank of Barotac Viejo is a two-unit rural bank with head office in Barangay Poblacion, Barotac Viejo, Iloilo. Its lone branch is located in Concepcion, Iloilo.
Based on the Bank Information Sheet as of June 30, 2016, it is owned by Ramon R. Tugbang (40 percent), Patrick S. Tugbang (14.24 percent), Margarita T. Cajilig (13.98 percent), Marie S. Tugbang (13.22 percent), Hugo Mateo F. Tugbang (12.81 percent), and Erlinda D. Pomado (3.51 percent).

PDIC assured depositors that all valid deposits and claims shall be paid up to the maximum deposit insurance coverage of P500,000. Depositors with valid deposit accounts with balances of P100,000 and below shall be eligible for early payment and need not file deposit insurance claims, except accounts maintained by business entities, or when they have outstanding obligations with Rural Bank of Barotac Viejo or acted as co-makers of these obligations. Depositors have to ensure that they have complete and updated addresses with the bank. They may update their addresses until March 6, 2017 using the Mailing Address Update Forms to be distributed by PDIC representatives at the bank premises.
For depositors who are required to file claims for deposit insurance, the schedule of claims settlement operations will be announced as soon as possible through posters at the bank premises and in other public places, www.pdic.gov.ph, and PDIC’s official Facebook account. PDIC also reminded borrowers to continue paying their loan obligations with the closed Rural Bank of Barotac Viejo and to transact only with designated PDIC representatives at the bank premises.
For more information on the requirements and procedures for filing claims and settlement of loan obligations, all depositors and borrowers of the bank are enjoined to attend the Depositors-Borrowers’ Forum which will be held in venues near the two banking offices of the bank on March 9-10. Details will be posted.
