    No. There is no such requirement under the law

    or any regulation ordering a bank that changes its

    Unless there is a law, regulation or circular from the

    Securities and Exchange Commission or Bangko

    Sentral ng Pilipinas requiring the formal notification

    of all debtors of banks of any change in corporatename, such notification remains to be a mere
