METROPOLITAN Bank & Trust Co. (Metrobank) has made a strategic move in appointing a new independent director, Benedict C. Sison, former Chief Executive Officer and Country Head of Sun Life of Canada (Philippines), Inc. (Sun Life Philippines).
This development comes after the resignation of Philippine Savings Bank President Jose Vicente L. Alde as Metrobank director to focus on the thrift bank.
The appointment of Sison is expected to bring in fresh perspectives and expertise to the Metrobank board, considering his extensive experience in the financial industry.
Metrobank's move to bring in a new independent director signals the bank's commitment to maintaining its position as a leading financial institution in the country.
It remains to be seen how Sison's appointment will impact Metrobank's future plans and strategies, but one thing is certain – the bank is taking proactive steps to ensure its continued growth and success.
