                    [Summary] => The Manila Regional Trial Court has ordered the Singapore-based United Overseas Bank Ltd. (UOBL) to pay P135.6 million in damages to a group of minority stockholders led by the Farmix group.


In his order, RTC judge Artemio Tipon said the minority group should be awarded its proportionate share in the proceeds of the sale of Westmont Bank to UOBL, including interest.


UOBL acquired a 60 percent controlling stake in Westmont Bank, owned by the group of former Finance Secretary Edgardo Espiritu, in 1999 through a leveraged buy-out.
