As a backgrounder, the controversy started with two factions squabbling over the three firms of Philippine Communications Satellite Corp. (Philcomsat). The government owns 40 percent of Philippine Overseas Telecommunications Corporation (POTC). POTC wholly owns Philcomsat which in turn owns 80 percent of Philcomsat Holdings Corp., a publicly listed company.


The boards of POTC and Philcomsat are both headed by Bildner and Victor Africa while PHC is led by Ramon Nieto and Enrique Locsin. Senator Enrile’s family reported owns 6.6 percent of Philcomsat.

(Philcomsat) has asked the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) to resolve the board problems hounding the two companies.
