LANDBANK: No ‘ayuda’ in PhilSys registration centers
The Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) wishes to clarify that the LANDBANK cards being provided for free to unbanked national ID registrants, with no initial deposit required, are not pre-loaded with government subsidy or ‘ayuda’. The statement comes after crowds expecting for financial assistance turned up at various Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) registration centers due to false information circulating online. LANDBANK is co-locating with the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) in the PhilSys rollouts nationwide to provide unbanked registrants with their own transaction accounts to bring more Filipinos into the formal banking system in support of the National Government’s financial inclusion agenda. PhilSys registrants without a bank account are encouraged to open a LANDBANK transaction account. The LANDBANK card can be used to conveniently manage funds and make financial transactions such as withdraw and send money, shop and pay bills online, among others. As of 31 October 2021, LANDBANK has onboarded 6.14 million unbanked PhilSys registrants for their own transaction accounts from 1,296 registration sites in 62 provinces nationwide. # LANDBANK: Walang ‘ayuda’ sa PhilSys registration centers Nilinaw ngayon ng Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) na ang mga LANDBANK cards na ibinibigay nang libre at walang kinakailangang paunang deposito sa mga nag a-apply para sa national ID, ay walang kasamang tulong pinansyal mula sa pamahalaan o ‘ayuda’. Ipinahayag ito ng LANDBANK matapos na dagsain ng mga taong umaasang makakatangap ng ayuda ang iba't-ibang Philippine Identification System (PhilSys) registration centers dahil sa maling impormasyon na kumakalat online. Ang LANDBANK ay nakikipagtulungan sa Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) para sa sa implementasyon ng PhilSys sa buong bansa upang bigyan ang mga nag-apply para sa national ID na wala pang bank account ng kanilang sariling transaction account.

Patuloy ding hinihikayat ang mga PhilSys registrants na wala pang bank account na magbukas ng LANDBANK transaction account.

State-run Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) posted double-digit growth in net income, assets, deposits and capital year-on-year for the nine-month period ending 30 September 2021. The Bank’s net income grew by 21.2% to P16.72 billion from P13.8 billion in the same period last year, due to lower cost of funds and provision for losses.

This was propelled by deposits amounting to P2.267 trillion, which expanded by 14.68%. Meanwhile, LANDBANK’s capital significantly rose by 25.77% year-on-year to P208.17 billion from P165.52 billion, attributed to the P27.5 billion equity infusion made by the National Government in February 2021 plus the net income for the year. “LANDBANK has shown remarkable resilience against the economic shocks of the pandemic. As we continue to exceed our year-end targets in total assets and deposits, we are optimistic that the Bank’s overall financial performance will keep in step with the country’s continuing recovery,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo. In terms of financial ratios, LANDBANK’s return on equity reached 10.74%, which is well above the industry average of 6.48%. LANDBANK’s financial muscle is driving the fulfillment of its social mandate of providing financial and support services not only to the agriculture sector, but contributing at large to the country’s recovery and development efforts. As of 30 September 2021, LANDBANK’s total outstanding loans to the agriculture sector reached P228.21 billion.

LANDBANK funds expansion of Nueva Ecija-based rice mill
With LANDBANK's support, RVR Ricemill is regularly supplying aromatic rice varieties to Metro Manila and various provinces, while providing stable employment to almost 100 employees and a market for 6,000 rice farmers to sell their palay produce at premium prices. LUPAO, Nueva Ecija – Spouses Glenda and Alex Rommel Romano have come a long way from initially trading only a few sacks of palay and milled rice two decades ago. Now, they run a thriving rice milling business which regularly supplies Metro Manila and various provinces with tons of aromatic rice varieties. The couple’s RVR Ricemill business also provides stable employment for about 100 residents of this third-class municipality, as well as a market for up to 6,000 small rice farmers to sell their palay produce at premium prices. The expansion of the Romanos’ business operations in the last five years was made possible through loans from the Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) in 2016 and 2017. Aside from boosting their working capital, the couple used the funds for the construction of a rice mill complex and warehouse, including modern machinery and drying facilities. “The agribusiness sector is a primary driver in the country’s road to recovery. LANDBANK will continue to service their requirements toward boosting food security and generating employment opportunities, especially in the countryside,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo. Through the increased capital and improved operations, the RVR Rice Mill now buys more palay directly from small farmers and supplies milled rice to different markets every day—far from having only two deliveries per month before expanding their business. “Dito sa business namin, kapag malaki ang puhunan, mas malaki ang napapaikot na pera at mas maraming rice farmers ang natutulungan. Napakalaking tulong ng LANDBANK kasi kung hindi dahil sa tiwala at suportang ibinibigay nila, hindi po lalaki ang business namin,” said Mr. Romano. For the first nine months of 2021, LANDBANK’s outstanding loans to small, medium and large agribusiness enterprises have reached P145.75 billion. These involved loans to private enterprises in agri-processing, aqua-business, and other related industries engaged in the food and agriculture value chain. LANDBANK remains steadfast in helping agribusiness enterprises expand their operations as part of its main mandate to deliver intensified support to the agriculture sector.

LANDBANK’s P50-M loan ‘links’ La Union town to a promising future
ARINGAY, La Union – The Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) has approved a P50-million term loan of the Municipal Government of Aringay for the construction of a three-span bridge which is expected to boost growth and progress for the town’s underdeveloped areas. The new bridge will be built between Barangay San Juan East and Barangay San Juan West to connect seven isolated barangays of Aringay to the town proper, thereby making the transport of agricultural goods and access to essential services safer, easier, and more efficient. Upon completion of the bridge, farmers from the seven barangays can conveniently transport their harvests directly to Aringay’s public market instead of bringing these to Baguio City in Benguet. They will also no longer need to cross a river using a raft or pass through other perilous routes during heavy rains that often add to costs. The more than 14,800 residents from the seven barangays can also safely reach the town proper to access essential services, such as medical assistance, without the risk that comes with crossing the river. The P50-million term loan of the Municipal Government of Aringay was approved under the LANDBANK RISE UP LGUs (Restoration and Invigoration Package for a Self-sufficient Economy towards UPgrowth for LGUs) Lending Program, designed to support local government units (LGUs) in the implementation of their respective economic recovery plans. “LANDBANK is fully committed to servicing the infrastructure requirements of our LGU partners to fast-track the recovery of local communities.

Tatlumpung taong hinanapan ng pondo ang proyektong ito para ito’y maisakatuparan. Nagpapasalamat kami sa programa ng LANDBANK at sa kanilang matiyagang paggabay at pagsubaybay dahil nabigyan kami ng pagkakataong matupad ang adhikaing matagal naming minimithi,” said Aringay Mayor Eric O.
