    Steel Corporation of the Philippines, placed under liquidation proceedings

    In my previous post, Issue on the Dying Phil Steel Industry, I have mentioned about the dying steel industry in the country, where the Steel Corporation of the Philippines (SCP) were ordered to undergo corporate rehabilitation and later to be placed under liquidation proceedings.

    In another post, The Truth Behind the Liquidation Order for Steel Corporation of the Philippines, I have revealed the truth behind the liquidation proceedings ordered by the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of Batangas, based on the reports wherein hundreds of employees are afraid to lose their job should the proceedings be pushed through.

    On this third post, the court’s verdict for the SCP to submit the company for the liquidation proceedings has been made and sadly, SCP is at the losing end despite several appeals for Motion for Reconsideration (MR) to postpone the trial. According to the lawyers of SCP, it seems that the decision has been already planned even before the trial has started. They based their claims on the fact that the Batangas City Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch-3 Judge Ruben Galvez based his decision on unreliable findings.

    The Steel Corporation of the Philippines (SCP) seems to have given up hope of rising up again from the corporate woes it is facing after the court has decided to place it under liquidation proceedings.

    Batangas City Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch-3 Judge Ruben Galvez issued a decision favouring the liquidation proceedings, which lead for the legal counsels of SCP to asked permission to leave the court room and staged a walk-out to protest something they believed as an unfair decision of what they described as a “kangaroo court.”

    The court immediately held an election to determine the members of the Board of Liquidation of the said company.

    Atty. Nonnatus Chua, one of the lawyers of SCP, insisted that the liquidation proceedings order from Judge Galvez is illegal because there are still a lot of prejudicial issues that were left hanging and were not considered by the court.

    “We have several prejudicial issues which must be resolved first. In the case of liquidation, it must come after the order of such liquidation becomes final. After approval of the rehabilitation plan by the lower court, the remedy is Rule 65 and a Motion for Reconsideration… we still have 15 days to file MR but the court did not take this into consideration,” Chua explained.

    Moreover, Chua said the court has yet to clarify the confusion regarding the classification of creditors.

    Aside from Banco De Oro (BDO), there are other creditor banks which has loaned SCP like Planters Bank, Chinabank, Land Bank of the Philippines at DEG (Deutsche Investitions-und Entwicklungsgesellschaft).

    All banks enumerated are “secured creditors.” However, while the court hearing was being held, some of the lawyers of the said banks appealed as to how and why they were classified as “unsecured creditors.”

    “In short, the classification of each creditor was inaccurate, then how can we say that the decision was fair if just this mere classification of creditors is a failure?” (“Samakatuwid ay hindi accurate ang ginawang pag-classify sa bawat creditors. Paano naman natin masasabing parehas ang desisyon ng korte gayong sa pag-classify pa lamang ng mga creditors ay sablay na sila.) To put order in these proceedings we should comply with the mandatory requisites,” Chua added.

    He also noted that there is a big difference on the rights and responsibilities between a “secured” at “unsecured” creditor thus it is very important to determine their correct classification.

    SCP is the only 100% Filipino-owned steel company in the country.

    The lawyers of SCP have filed a number of Motion for Reconsideration (MR) but they felt that they have not received proper attention and consideration from the court. They are also asking Judge Galvez to inhibit from the case if he has delicadeza.

    “What made us wonder is that why was the decision to deny our motion to suspend the liquidation was so abrupt. Imagine, we filed (the petition) last Friday and then it was denied the same day. And his (Judge Galvez) decision came out to be in favor of the liquidation, so it seems that it (the decision) was also premeditated and as if it was already been decided prior” (Ang ipinagtataka namin ay kung bakit napakabilis ng desisyon niya na i-deny ang motion namin na i-suspend muna ang liquidation. Biro mo, last Friday lang namin yun inihain, tapos on the same day, dineny agad niya ito. At yung kanyang desisyon na inilabas pabor sa liquidation, parang prepared na rin at matagal na niyang ginawa), Chua lamented.

      Oh no, this is a sad development. I’m concerned about the employees who will lose their jobs because of this liquidation.
