Section 16

SEC. 16. The Monetary Board, by the affirmative vote of at least five of its members and with the approval of the President of the Philippines, may revoke the license to transact business in the Philippines of any foreign bank or banking corporation not formed, organized, or existing under the laws of the Philippines, if the said Board finds after due investigation at which such bank or banking corporation is given a chance to be heard by itself or counsel, that the foreign bank or banking corporation is in imminent danger of insolvency or that its continuance in business will involve probable loss to those transacting business with it. After the revocation of its license, it shall be unlawful for any such foreign bank or banking corporation to transact business in the Philippines unless its license is renewed or reissued. After the revocation of such license the Solicitor General shall take such proceedings as may be proper to protect creditors of such foreign bank or banking institution and the public.
