Lawyer Danny Hagad of PASPI even offered a possible option — allow the sugar farmers to share in the payable loans and give them the chance to free up mortgaged properties.

                    [Summary] => It is amazing how sugar farmers, some 4,000 of whom are members of the Planters Against Plunder in the Sugar Industry, have been frantically trying to stop the sale of Philippine National Bank (PNB) shares worth P16 billion on Aug. 12. 


Top officials of PASPI, Manny Lacson and businessman-banker-farmer Titus Abello, earlier presented the plight of the sugarmen to Finance Secretary Margarito Teves.


Lacson, Abello and other key officials of the organization were, however, not in Manila for the second round of talks with Teves over the PNB sale.
