(PNOC) is looking into the possibility of undertaking an initial public offering (IPO) of its subsidiary, PNOC Shipping and Transport Corp. (PSTC).

PNOC president Eduardo Manalac said an IPO is one of the options being considered in privatizing the shipping company’s shares. Another privatization scheme being eyed for PSTC is the direct sale of assets, particularly its tankers.

Manalac said they may also consider allowing a joint venture partner to buy into the shipping company.

(PSTC), the shipping arm of the state-run Philippine National Oil Co. (PNOC), has put off plans to sell its vessels until after 2006.

PNOC president Thelmo Cunanan said based on their assessment, the market is not that good thus the sale of PSTC’s assets would probably fail to fetch a good price.

At dusk last Christmas Eve the huge cargo ship MV Great Faith disappeared into thin air from the Port of Cebu, with its contraband of 30,000 sacks of smuggled rice. The hand was quicker than the eye. Nobody, not even the Customs men guarding the confiscated ship round the clock, saw what happened. But Filipino government officials must really be infinitely better at hocus-pocus than the celebrated American magician.

But in cases where private firms are unwilling or unable to serve basic economic needs, government must go into business, if only for public interest.

When Philippine Airlines in its early years could not fly "missionary routes" to small cities, government bought into it and for a time subsidized losses just to keep domestic rates down. Passenger volume soon grew to encourage private investments in the missionary routes. Government then bailed out of PAL.
