[Title] => PNB's bad loans hit 31%
[Summary] =>
The Philippine National Bank (PNB) has increased its loan loss provision or the
amount set aside for bad loans by almost three times to P21 billion as of
end-April from P8 billion in end-December as its bad loans continued to rise,
PNB president Feliciano Miranda told the STAR yesterday.
Miranda said the higher loan loss provision was more than enough to cover its
rising non-performing loans (NPLs) that have reached around P31 billion (31
percent of its estimated P100-billion loan portfolio) from around P29 billion
in end-1999.
