    paninira lang yan

    kayang kaya i-handle ng Metrobank mga withdrawals.

    And even if sobra laki ang withdrawals, the Bangko Sentral will come to the aid of Metrobank.

    Metrobank is fine.

    It just has exposure to Lehman... P2.4B lang naman... no big deal.

    it can be a possible hoax, but surely their loss hurts.

    Shadow,

    The text message is not true.

    I should know first hand, than text messages or any news.

    I hope you get what I mean.

    Actually it was somewhat true pero controlled na. Its actually Metrobanks fault, inannounce kasi nila sa PSE that "WE are filing for receivership...." so nagkaroon ng panic kala nila Metrobank is filing for bakruptcy. What they meant is since Metrobank is Lehman Brother's CREDITOR they are going to file for Lehman's receivership in the Philippines para naman baka meron silang marecover. So a simple wrong use of English created a panic. Comedy talaga. Pero bottomline is ITS NOT TRUE.

    waaahhh... nagpa-panic kanina sa office dahil dito. My boss after hearing it from a friend immediately when to MB to withdraw from his account. My other boss did that as well. Me, being worried, told my dad about it. Grandpa's shop's bank account is in MB, so we all became worried. Dunno if they did pull out the account from MB as my dad instructed to do it kanina.

    Nakakapraning...

    But could it be, have the slightest possibility to happen?

    That's what Metrobank say is the extent of their exposure.

    But who knows? The Bangko Sentral? If they know, they won't tell for fear of a bank run.

    Ya they definitely won't tell the public if there really is more damage...

    but here's the thing... i'm sure the BSP will not allow Metrobank to fail.

    Metrobank is our version of Citibank or JP Morgan...

    It's too big to fail.

    hehe

    hahaha

    tama

    you have to be so big and so interconnected with everyone, that if you fail, you drag the whole freakin world down with you.

    that makes you too big to fail.

    that entitles you to a bailout everytime you screw up.

    hehehe


bank run?
