"One approach we are looking at where they (Yuchengcos) would be able to dilute their shares in the bank is through the entry of a strategic partner," RCBC vice chairman and chief executive officer Cesar Virata said.


With the Yuchengcos willing to own up to 51 percent of RCBC, Virata said, this would allow other parties to own 49 percent of the bank.
