judicial power or functions.
- The remedy available to the bank is to file petition for
certiorari with the Court of Appeals subject to the
requisites in Section 30 of NCBA.

- The receiver cannot confirm or ratify an option to purchase
real property because it is an act of dominion.
-*Under RA 11211, upon the appointment for any statutory
grounds, the receiver must proceed with the liquidation of
the closed bank. The foregoing law has removed the
authority of the receiver to rehabilitate the closed bank.
- A closed bank under receivership can only sue or be sued
through its receiver, the PDIC. Hence, a petition filed by a
closed bank without joining the PDIC as a party is
dismissible.
- The designation of a conservator or appointment of a
receiver shall be vested exclusively with the MB. Hence, the
court cannot designate a conservator or appoint a receiver
for a financially distressed bank.

NOTES ON LIQUIDATION:
- All disputed claims against the bank should be filed before
the liquidation proceeding.
- The liquidation of a bank may be carried out despite lack of
tax clearance unlike in voluntary dissolution of a corporation.
To require a tax clearance before distribution of assets of a
bank would give absolute preference to the tax liabilities of
the bank which is contrary to the rules on concurrence and
preference of credits.
- The exclusive jurisdiction of the liquidation court pertains
only to the adjudication of claims AGAINST the bank. It does
not cover the reverse situation where it is the bank which
files a claim against another person or legal entity.
