MANILA - The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) on Sunday issued an advisory, warning its clients of possible congestion in its Julia Vargas branch on Monday.

This, after Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte agreed to open his account to prove that he is not keeping P211 million in it.

"There are reports of a planned meeting between well known political parties at our BPI Julia Vargas branch tomorrow, Monday, May 2, 2016. In view of this, we expect a number of people including media and supporters of these personalities, among others to be at the said branch."

BPI advised its clients to "avoid the crowd" and conduct their banking transactions in other branches.

BPI has several branches in the area:

BPI Pasig Ortigas branch located on the ground floor of Benpres Building along Exchange Road.

BPI Ortigas Emerald branch along F. Ortigas Jr. Road

BPI Ortigas Sapphire branch along Sapphire Road

BPI Ortigas Tektite branch at the PSE Centre along Exchange Road
