The lots are located in Metro Manila, Bataan, Benguet, Bulacan, Cavite, Maguindanao del Norte, Marinduque, Nueva Ecija, Pangasinan, Quezon, and Sorsogon.
The complete list and description of the properties, as well as the e-bidding process and requirements, are available on the PDIC e-bidding portal.

Meanwhile, proceeds from the sale ofcorporate assets are added to the Deposit Insurance Fund, PDIC’s main fund source for payment of valid deposit insurance claims.
The PDIC provides depositor protection and helps maintain stability in the financial system by providing deposit insurance.
The maximum deposit insurance coverage is P500,000 per depositor effective June 1, 2009.
