    Rural banks are important in countryside development. But then, if they are not performing well, I guess the logical move is for the BSP and PDIC to step in.

    I guess this explains in part why the BSP and PDIC have lots of non-performing assets for disposal, a lot might be from the acquired assets of these closed rural banks.

    BSP has tightened its examination of banks. Several banks in Central Luzon were downgraded for BSP supervision and take over. These banks were previously highly rated rural banks and thrift banks. Sayang at ang daming kliyente na maliliit ang mga bangko na ito. Baka siguro nais ng BSP na maghari uli ang BDO at iba pang malalaking bangko. Hindi malayo na dahil dito magsara na lang ang mga bangko ng bayan lalo na yung nagsisilbi sa sakahan at agraryo sa Nueva Ecija. Kawawa ang mga maliliit na mangungutang.
