VELASCO JR., J.
As of June 30, 1975, the list of FUB stockholders included Cojuangco with 14,440 shares and PCA with 129,955 shares.[14] It would appear later that, pursuant to the stipulation on maintaining Cojuangco's equity position in the bank, PCA would cede to him 10% of its subscriptions to (a) the authorized but unissued shares of FUB and (b) the increase in FUB's capital stock (the equivalent of 158,840 and 649,800 shares, respectively). In all, from the "mother" PCA shares, Cojuangco would receive a total of 95,304 FUB (UCPB) shares broken down as follows: 14,440 shares + 10% (158,840 shares) + 10% (649,800 shares) = 95,304.[15]

The declaration of martial law in September 1972 saw the issuance of several presidential decrees ("P.Ds.") purportedly designed to improve the coconut industry through the collection and use of the coconut levy fund.  While coming generally from impositions on the first sale of copra, the coconut levy fund came under various names, the different establishing laws and the stated ostensible purpose for the exaction explaining the differing denominations. Charged with the duty of collecting and administering the Fund was PCA.[18] Like COCOFED with which it had a legal linkage,[19] the PCA, by statutory provisions scattered in different coco levy decrees, had its share of the coco levy.[20]

Through the years, a part of the coconut levy funds went directly or indirectly to various projects and/or was converted into different assets or investments.[25] Of particular relevance to this case was their use to acquire the First United Bank (FUB), later renamed UCPB, and the acquisition by UCPB, through the CIIF companies, of a large block of SMC shares.

During the hearing on November 24, 2006, Cojuangco, et al. filed their Submission and Offer of Evidence of Defendants,[74] formally offering in evidence certain documents to substantiate their counterclaims, and informing that they found no need to present countervailing evidence because the Republic's evidence did not prove the allegations of the Complaint. On December 5, 2006, after the Republic submitted its Comment,[75]  the Sandiganbayan admitted the exhibits offered by Cojuangco, et al., and granted the parties a non-extendible period within which to file their respective memoranda and reply-memoranda.
