Sources say that cash-strapped and debt-ridden Vitarich Corp. suffered a P600-million loss last year, most of which is reportedly due to the huge interest burden that the company has to carry and the failed Texas Chicken restaurant business. Just last week, Vitarich president Armando  Escobar was removed from his post following what appears to be a  major disagreement with the Sarmiento family which owns Vitarich. There are reports that former Davao Rep. Rogelio Sarmiento will take over the presidency of Vitarich.
