However, he said the President had expressed concern about the merger process, saying that none of the services of the two banks should be lost.

“With the merger, there will be savings, and the merged bank will be stronger, and maybe the interest rate that they will be charging will be lower,” he added. “We’ll be able to save a lot of money for the national government. This does not include revenues that can be derived from the sale of redundant assets of DBP, various properties such as its head office in Makati, a property in BGC, various branch properties, equipment and licenses,” Diokno said.
