History

A. The CIIF OMG Companies

  • The balance of the Coconut Consumers Stabilization Fund (CCSF) and the Coconut Industry Development Fund (CIDF), or roughly P2.572 Billion was used to acquire, purchase or establish certain companies engaged in the business of coconut oil milling and refining. This balance is what was later designated or commonly referred to as the Coconut Industry Investment Fund (CIIF).

  • From 1977 to 1979, various oil mills were acquired using the CIIF. These oil mill companies are collectively known as the CIIF Oil Mills Group,

CIIF OMG Acquisition Cost

From CIIF Granexport Manufacturing Corporation - 247 Million Legaspi Oil Co., Inc. and Cagayan de Oro Oil Company Inc. - 210 Million San Pablo Manufacturing Corporation - 133 Million Southern Luzon Coconut Oil Mill, Inc. - 633 Million subtotal From LegOil Iligan Coconut Industries, Inc. - 20 Million

                                            Total P 653 Million

• The major stockholders of the CIIF OMG Companies and their percentage equity holding in the companies are, as follows:

  1. The CIIF Fund (represented by the fund’s administrator, the United Coconut Planters Bank [UCPB]) – 64.38%
  2. UCPB itself – 11.0%
  3. The United Coconut Planters Life Assurance Corporation (“Cocolife”) – 11.0%
  • The CIIF OMG Companies are principally engaged in the business of milling copra and producing crude and refined coconut oil and other bi-products. On the average, eighty percent (80%) of the group’s produce are exported abroad while the balance is sold to the domestic market.

  • MINOLA edible oil, the premier coconut cooking oil in the country today, and other MINOLA products such as margarine and shortening, are being produced by the group. These are being sold in consumer packs or on a wholesale basis, and are being marketed and distributed through accredited national and regional distributors. Major supermarkets and retailers throughout the country carry and sell all MINOLA consumer products.

  • To minimize operating costs by having a lean organization and to implement synergies within the group, the CIIF OMG Companies have been overseen and managed by a common management team.

  • In 1986, the government through the Presidential Commission on Good Government (“PCGG”, for brevity) sequestered the CIIF OMG Companies. Consequently, the government instituted a suit with the Sandiganbayan asserting ownership over the CIIF OMG Companies.

  • As a result of the sequestration, the government through PCGG is effectively in control of the CIIF OMG companies as government causes from time to time the election of its nominees in the boards of directors of all the CIIF OMG Companies, and their subsidiaries including the appointment of the group’s President/Chief Executive Officer.

B. The 14 Holding Companies (Anglo Ventures Corp, AP Holdings Inc, ASC Investors Inc, ARC Investors Inc, Fernandez Holdings, Inc, First Meridian Development, Inc, Randy Allied Ventures, Inc, Rock Steel Resources, Inc, Roxas Shares, Inc, San Miguel Officers Corps, Inc, Te Deum Resources Inc, Toda Holdings Inc, Soriano Shares Inc, Valhalla Properties, Inc)

• The CIIF OMG Companies collectively own the 14 Holding Companies in the following proportions:

Stockholders Percentage Ownership CAGOIL 18% GRANEX 19 ILICOCO 15 LEGOIL 18 SOLCOM 11 SPMC 19

• The 14 Holding Companies were created to acquire common shares in San Miguel Corporation (SMC). • It must be stressed that the 14 Holding Companies are wholly-owned by the CIIF OMG Companies, at the time these were organized and even at the present. In other words, all of the shares of stocks of the 14 holding companies are registered in the names of one or more CIIF OMG Company. • The 14 Holding Companies are overseen by common set of five (5) directors and a common management team, who are all caused to be nominated, elected and/or appointed by the government through the PCGG.

C. The CIIF Block of SMC Shares • In 1983, about 33 million common shares in San Miguel Corporation (SMC) was acquired by the 14 holding companies for the total sum of P1.656 Billion (the “CIIF Block of SMC Shares”).

• Funding for this purchase was made via:

  1. P247 Million in paid-up capital infused by the CIIF OMG Companies in the 14 Holding Companies;
  2. 729 Million in stockholder advances made by the CIIF OMG Companies to the 14 Holding Companies; and
  3. P684 in loans obtained by the 14 Holding Companies from UCPB. These loans have been fully paid by the 14 Holding companies to UCPB in 2002.

• At the time of acquisition or purchase, the CIIF Block of Shares represented thirty-one percent (31%) of SMC’s total outstanding capital stock.

• Due to a compromise agreement between SMC and UCPB in 1990, the shares were reissued and registered as follows: Registration No. of Shares % In name of 14 Holding Companies 144,324,960 26 In name of SMC as treasury treasurers 25,450,000 4 In name of PCGG (ITF- CARP) 5,500,000 1

• As of today, this percentage equity holding decreased to twenty-four percent (24%) due to the failure of government not to exercise its right of first refusal (apparently due to lack of funds to subscribed to additional capital) as a result of the increase in SMC’s capitalization.

• In 2009, the Supreme Court approved the conversion of the CIIF Block of SMC Shares from common to preferred shares. Among others, the high court ruled that CIIF Block of SMC Shares as converted shall continue to be: a) registered in the names of the 14 Holding Companies, b) subject to PCGG sequestration, and c) under custodia legis.

• The Supreme Court cited the following main reasons in approving the conversion of the CIIF Block of SMC Shares from common to preferred shares:

a. The Proposed Conversion is Advantageous to the Government (or the party who will eventually be adjudged as the true owner of the Subject Shares) “The respondent Republic has satisfactorily demonstrated that the conversion will redound to the clear advantage and material benefit of the eventual owner of the CIIF SMC shares in question.

xxx

“Moreover, the conversion may be viewed as a sound business strategy to preserve and conserve the value of the government’s interests in CIIF SMC shares. Preservation is attained by fixing the value today at a significant premium over the market price and ensuring that such value is not going to decline despite negative market conditions. Conservation is realized thru an improvement in the earnings value via the 8% per annum dividends versus the uncertain and most likely lower dividends on common shares.

“A fixed dividend rate of 8% per annum translates to PhP 6 per preferred share or a guaranteed yearly dividend of PhP 4,523,308,987.20 for the entire sequestered CIIF SMC shares. The figures jibe with the estimate made by intervenors Salonga, et al. Compare this amount to the dividends declared for common shares for the recent past years which are in the vicinity of PhP 1.40 per unit share or a total amount of PhP 1,055,387,636.80 per annum. The whopping difference is around PhP 3.5 billion annually or PhP 10.5 billion in three (3) years. On a year-to-year basis, the difference reflects an estimated increase of 77% in dividend earnings. With the bold investments of SMC in various lines of business, there is no assurance of substantial earnings in the coming years. There may even be no earnings. The modest dividends that accrue to the common shares in the recent years may be a thing of the past and may even be obliterated by poor or unstable performance in the initial years of operation of newly-acquired ventures.”

b. The Conversion (of the common shares) will not result to loss of control by the government in SMC

  • “The mere presence of four (4) PCGG nominated directors in the SMC Board does not mean it can prevent board actions that are viewed to fritter away the company assets. Even under the status quo, PCGG has no controlling sway in the SMC Board, let alone a veto power at 24% of the stockholdings. In relinquishing the voting rights, the government, through PCGG, is not in reality ceding control.” *

c. PCGG did not abuse its discretion when it approved the proposed conversion “A circumspect review of the pleadings and evidence extant on record shows that the PCGG approved the conversion only after it conducted an in-depth inquiry, thorough study, and judicious evaluation of the pros and cons of the proposed conversion. PCGG took into consideration the following:

*“(1) Resolution of the UCPB Board of Directors approved during its July 20, 2009 special meeting, where it categorically decided and concluded that it is financially beneficial to convert the CIIF SMC shares as offered by the SMC.

“(2) Resolution No. 365-2009 of the UCPB Board of Directors issued on August 28, 2009 reiterating its position that the proposed conversion is financially beneficial.

“(3) The Department of Finance, through Secretary Margarito B. Teves, upon the recommendation of the Development Bank of the Philippines, confirmed that the CIIF SMC shares conversion is financially and economically advantageous and that it shall work for the best interest of the farmers who are the ultimate and beneficial owners of said shares.

“(4) The letter of the OSG dated July 30, 2009 opined that the proposed conversion is legally allowable as long as PCGG approval is obtained.”(Underscoring supplied; see 17 September 2009 Resolution of the Supreme Court, G.R. Nos. 177857-58)*

• The SC’s resolution also ordered that the: a) proceeds of the redemption price on the CIIF Block of SMC Shares (upon redemption by SMC); and b) cash dividends paid prior to redemption, be deposited with either the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) or Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) but in an escrow account.

• On 22 September 2009, PCGG through an en banc resolution directed the 14 Holding Companies to implement the Supreme Court’s 19 September 2009 resolution. On 05 October 2009, the CIIF Block of SMC shares were converted into preferred shares.

• On 11 February 2010, the Supreme Court granted UCPB’s motion to be one of the depository banks for the escrow deposit. The PCGG through Resolution No. 2010-018-795 dated 28 May 2010: - a) approved the opening of an escrow account with the UCPB where all the cash dividends/redemption proceeds will be deposited, and b) directed SMC to remit to this escrow account the cash dividends and the redemption price. Subsequently, an escrow account in the name of the Republic of the Philippines represented by the PCGG ITF the 14 CIIF Holding companies was established with UCPB Trust Banking Group.

• On 24 January 2012, the Supreme Court declared the government the owner of the CIIF OMG companies, the 14 Holding Companies and the so-called CIIF Block of SMC Shares consisting of 753,848,312 preferred shares in San Miguel Corporation (SMC).

• Subsequently, the Supreme Court in a resolution dated 04 September 2012 denied the motion for reconsideration filed by the Philippine Coconut Producers Federation, Inc. (“Cocofed”).

However, this decision is not yet final and executory as the government had petitioned the tribunal last 12 October 2012 to amend the decision to include certain treasury shares in SMC that are part and parcel of the original shares purchased by the 14 Holding Companies from SMC.

• On 05 October 2012, about P56.5 Billion representing the proceeds of the redemption price paid by SMC for the CIIF Block of SMC Shares was remitted to the Bureau of the Treasury (BTr) under instructions from the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG). An escrow account was then opened in the name of the PCGG in-trust-for (ITF) the 14 Holding Companies as the Supreme Court’s decision declaring the government the owner of the CIIF OMG, 14 Holding Companies and the CIIF Block of SMC Shares is not yet final and executory.

On the other hand, the cash dividends on said block (after the same were converted from common to preferred) are deposited in escrow with the United Coconut Planters Bank (UCPB). As of 31 December 2012, this amounted to P13.695 Billion inclusive of interest/yield thereon.

D. Subsidiaries

• On 30 June 1986, the CIIF OMG was placed under the control of the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG). Some companies were on the verge of bankruptcy while others had excess liquidity.

• To remedy the situation, the new management initiated a drastic financial restructuring. Available resources were consolidated and redeployed for more efficient utilization. Under-utilized funds of over PhP1.0B were moved from one unit to the other oil mill companies enabling the latter to operate smoothly and to service their bank obligations on time.

*B. Coconut Farmers Insurance Claims
a. Background*

i. Presidential Decree No. 1468 otherwise known as the Revised Coconut Industry Code provides that the Coconut Consumers Stabilization Fund shall be utilized, among others, to fund life and accident insurance coverage of the farmers.

ii. In 1978, following the mandate of PD No. 1468, UCPB, Cocolife and Philippine Coconut Producers Federation (Cocofed) entered into a contract for the set-up of an insurance fund from the Coconut Consumer Stabilization Fund (CCSF). The Insurance Fund which was managed by UCPB became the source of premium for the insurance coverage (Program 1-Whole Life Plan for sum insured of P10,000 per coconut farmer).

In 1985, with the depletion of the Insurance Fund, the face amount was reduced to P5,000, whole life plan was converted to group term life and the cash value of the whole life plan was used to fund the program.

iv. In 1996, UCPB, Cocolife and CIIF OMG (collectively called “CIIF Companies”) and PCA entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) extending the insurance program to coconut farmers who are not yet insured under Program 1 (Program 2 – additional 485,000 farmers not covered under program 1). Based on the MOA, these companies agreed to set aside or allocate an amount equal to such percentage of their audited net profits in the preceeding calendar year as are consistent with the requirement of their business operations and contribute said amount to the Insurance Fund.

v. The Insurance Fund was never set up and only CIIF OMG contributed premium payment in the amount of P20Million.

vi. In 2002, the parties in Program 2 entered into another MOA (Program 3) increasing the insurance coverage from P5,000 to P10,000 per coconut farmer and to a total of 3,500,000 coconut farmers and farm workers throughout the country.

vii. On 19 December 2003, the parties amended the MOA (2002) to state that the Insurance Fund shall be financed by the Coconut Industry Investment fund (CIIF) and that advances paid by the CIIF OMG as initial insurance premiums shall be considered as the latter’ contribution to the Insurance Fund and any excess of their paid advances taking into consideration the share of other CIIF Companies to the Insurance Fund, shall be refunded by CIIF.

viii. Due to substantial financial requirement, only the objective of upgrading the insurance coverage from P5,000 to P10,000 was implemented.

ix. In 2008, the CIIF Management Co., Inc. (with representatives from CIIF Companies and Cocochem) approved in principle a sharing of obligation among the CIIF-UCPB Group. It likewise directed the 14 Holding Companies to declare cash dividends in favor of the CIIF OMG which shall in turn make cash advances to the CIIF.

b. Advances
