The Philippines.- Suntrust Resort Holdings Inc. <\/strong>has announced the mortgage of its assets and properties through an omnibus loan and security agreement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In connection with the loan facility, investors linked to Suntrust Resort Holdings will inject an additional PHP19.37bn as cash equity into the project, further solidifying its financial foundation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
