If veteran banker Cezar 'Bong' Consing didn't have to take over the helm of conglomerate Ayala Corp. following tycoon Fernando Zobel de Ayala's medical emergency and subsequent retirement, there's a good chance that he would be appointed the next Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Governor. From what we gather, there are prime movers in the Marcos administration who are batting for Consing to be the country's next chief monetary and banking regulator. But now that Consing may be out of the game after accepting the post of Ayala CEO, who could the other candidates be? By this time, it appears that former BSP chief and Finance Secretary Benjamin Diokno is comfortably nestled in his position as chief of the economic team.
