                    [Summary] => Property conglomerate Metro Pacific Corp.’s (MPC) losses jumped more than five-fold in  the first  nine months of 2002 due to a huge loan provision and lower revenues from its subsidiaries.


MPC officials attributed the heavy losses to a one-time, non-cash, extraordinary provision of P7.2 billion made during the first half of the year in an anticipation of a potential loss that may arise should foreclosures occur on its shares in Bonifacio Land Corp. (BLC), the private consortium developing the Bonifacio Global City.

                    [Summary] => Property conglomerate Metro Pacific Corp.’s (MPC) losses jumped more than five-fold in  the first  nine months of 2002 due to a huge loan provision and lower revenues from its subsidiaries.


MPC officials attributed the heavy losses to a one-time, non-cash, extraordinary provision of P7.2 billion made during the first half of the year in an anticipation of a potential loss that may arise should foreclosures occur on its shares in Bonifacio Land Corp. (BLC), the private consortium developing the Bonifacio Global City.
