BAGUIO CITY -- The Presidential Commission on Good Government has auctioned off the sequestered Hans Menzi compound, a prime real estate property in this summer resort, raising P93.01 million to be remitted to the national treasury.

            PCGG chairman Andres Bautista said the commission’s privatization committee declared the bid submitted by Comnet Management Corp. amounting to P93,017,755.56 as the highest offer, beating six other bidders, during the public bidding held at the agency’s head office in Mandaluyong City last Tuesday.
