CALOOCAN CITY – Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) forged a partnership with Caloocan City LGU to usher an efficient collection of the City’s Real Property Tax (RPT) and Quarterly Business Tax (QBT) collection through the Bank’s Link.BizPortal. The Link.BizPortal is LANDBANK’s electronic payment facility that allows clients from both the government and private sectors to pay for products and services via the internet. In a virtual launch held last November 24, Caloocan City Mayor Oscar Malapitan emphasized that this partnership with LANDBANK aims to streamline the payment process of government fees as part of the City’s Computerization of Revenue Generation and Financial Management System Project. “We believe that through this project, we will be able to bring uninterrupted and timely services for the people of Caloocan City,” Malapitan said during the said virtual launch attended by more than a hundred barangay leaders of the City. With Link.BizPortal, residents of Caloocan City can now pay their Real Property Tax and QBT (in full please) obligations at their convenience with just a few clicks on their computers or mobile devices. Additionally, this will help decongest the foot traffic in City Hall and provide relief from the hassles of queuing and over-the-counter payments. Online payment has become essential while operating in the new normal. “As we continue to follow social distancing requirements due to the pandemic, the LANDBANK Link.BizPortal effectively responds to the growing demand for safe and digital financial solutions,” said LANDBANK North NCR Branches Group Head Senior Vice President Marilou Villafranca. Also present during the virtual launch of the online payment scheme was Bureau of Local Government Finance (BLGF) Executive Director Niño Raymond Alvina who expressed his support for Caloocan City’s vision to digitize the payment of government fees for the safety and convenience of its constituents. “This is what Secretary Carlos G. Dominguez of the Department of Finance and we at BLGF have long been advocating for: For our LGUs to invest in Information Technology to make frontline services and transactions more comfortable, faster, hassle-free, and modern,” said Alvina. The LANDBANK Link.BizPortal is the Bank’s response to the National Government’s call for a National Retail Payment System, which also supports the “eGov Pay” payment solution of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. As of September 2020, the Portal has already facilitated a total of 1.47 million transactions with a total volume of Php3.5 Billion, which is 26% more compared to the same period last year, from over 700 merchants nationwide that are enrolled in the system.

READ MOREState-run Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) facilitated more than 6,700 orders worth P3.42 billion for the one-year peso-denominated Premyo Bonds 2 or “Premyo Bonds Para sa Bayan 2,” which represents 52% of the total P6.56 billion raised by the Bureau of the Treasury (BTr) from the bond offering. The bulk or P2.98 billion of LANDBANK’s total Premyo Bonds 2 sales were generated via over-the-counter placements at LANDBANK branches, while a total of P78.5 million in sales were generated through the Bank’s online channels. Of the P78.5 million online sales, P40.7 million was transacted through the pilot launch of the bond purchase feature in the mobile banking application of the Overseas Filipino Bank (OFBank), the digital-only branchless bank subsidiary of LANDBANK. The remaining P37.8 million was generated through LANDBANK’s Link.BizPortal via the BTr’s Online Ordering Facility. “Despite a pandemic-induced recession, we observed wider participation for the Premyo Bonds 2 offering. This became possible through more accessible online ordering platforms, which include the OFBank Mobile Banking Application (MBA) that encouraged more Filipinos abroad to invest their hard-earned money in safe and affordable government securities,” LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo said. It was the first time that the OFBank MBA was utilized as an online ordering facility for the Premyo Bonds, following OFBank’s launch as a digital-only, first branchless Philippine government bank on June 29, 2020. The OFBank MBA allowed Filipinos from 63 countries abroad such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Qatar and Singapore to invest in the Premyo Bonds 2 through their smartphones, free of charge. Meanwhile, the state-run lender also generated total sales of P362 million under the BTr’s Exchange Offer program whereby bondholders of Premyo Bonds Tranche 1 could exchange their holdings for the latest Premyo Bonds 2 offering. The P6.56 billion total sales generated from Premyo Bonds 2 is more than double the P3-billion target of the BTr. Proceeds from the issuance will help fund the country’s educational programs, public infrastructure, and economic recovery in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and recent natural calamities.
