Metro Pacific Corp. (MPC) has aborted its plan to unload its controlling stake in domestic shipping line Negros Navigation Co. Inc. (Nenaco) while its only remaining non-property asset, First E-Bank, has been getting several bid offers. MPC chairman and acting CEO Manuel Pangilinan said the company's board has decided to withdraw a June 30, 2001 proposal to dispose of its entire 74-percent interest in Nenaco by distributing these shares as property dividends to MPC stockholders.
