                    [Summary] => 

Keppel Monte Bank is still keen on acquiring a commercial bank in its bid to
become one of the major players in the local banking industry, a ranking Bangko
Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) official said yesterday.

"They are looking for a commercial bank to buy because they want their status
to be converted into a commercial bank," BSP deputy governor Alberto Reyes
said.

Reyes explained that since there is still a moratorium on branching out and
granting of new bank licenses, Keppel has no choice but to buy a commercial
bank to upgrade its status.
