Listed Alliance Select Foods International Inc., formerly Alliance Tuna International Inc., has borrowed more than P100 million for its subsidiary to acquire a property and a canning plant in Mindanao.

In a disclosure on Thursday, Alliance Select Foods International said it “signed today as a co-borrower for its subsidiary, Alliance MHI Properties, Inc., in obtaining P130 million from the Land Bank of the Philippines.”

“Alliance Select Foods International has also extended a cash advance to Alliance MHI Properties in the amount of P90.546 million,” it added.

Subsidiary Alliance MHI Properties will buy a property and plant from Maranaw Canning Corp. The canning plant is currently used by the listed firm for tuna processing operations.
