Joining them are Tuburan Municipal Treasurer Abubakar U. Mohammad (rightmost), LANDBANK Zamboanga City Lending Center Head Zenaida K. Valencia (4th from right) and Account Officer Jaydee N. Bongon (leftmost). TUBURAN, Basilan – Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) has extended a P120-million loan to the Municipal Government of Tuburan for the purchase of various heavy equipment to speed-up construction and maintenance of farm-to-market roads and other crucial infrastructure projects across the town. The new equipment financed by the state-run Bank will enhance the municipality’s road network and provide over 1,500 local farmers and fishers with improved access to agricultural technology and farm material inputs, plus reduced transportation costs for their produce. The agreement between the Municipal Government of Tuburan and LANDBANK was formalized through a loan signing event led by Tuburan Mayor Jhaber S. Kallahal and LANDBANK Senior Vice President Charlotte I. Conde last 23 May 2024 in Zamboanga City. They were joined by Tuburan Municipal Treasurer Abubakar U. Mohammad, LANDBANK Zamboanga City Lending Center Head Zenaida K. Valencia and Account Officer Jaydee N. Bongon. The loan will support the local government’s strategic investments in promoting economic growth especially in the town’s underserved communities. “LANDBANK stands ready to serve the growth needs of partner local government units to bankroll initiatives that stimulate economic activities. This complements our efforts in support of the agriculture sector and other key industries contributing to building inclusive and sustainable local communities,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Lynette V. Ortiz. The P120-million LANDBANK loan will be used by Tuburan LGU to purchase 10-wheeler dump trucks, 10-wheeler mixer trucks, wheel loaders, a hydraulic crawler excavator, and a 10-wheeler self-loading truck. This will help reduce operational costs associated with renting and subcontracting equipment for current and future construction projects across the town. The municipal government requires logistics to maintain existing road networks and other infrastructure projects. The funding from LANDBANK will be crucial in addressing this need and advancing local growth, considering that Tuburan is an agricultural community with most of its land area dedicated to coconuts, rubber, and cassava. “LANDBANK’s commitment to fostering economic growth and development in our region is truly commendable. The funds provided will enable us to implement crucial projects and initiatives that will benefit our citizens and enhance the overall quality of life in our Municipality,” said Tuburan Mayor Kallahal. “We value the strong partnership we have built with LANDBANK over the years and look forward to work together towards our shared vision of a thriving and prosperous community,” he added. LANDBANK is the biggest development partner of LGUs in the country, with outstanding loans reaching P113.6 billion as of April 2024. These loans support local development projects nationwide, including the acquisition of heavy equipment, construction and maintenance of farm-to-market roads, railways and bridges, utility projects, school and hospital buildings, street lights, and computerization of LGU operations, among others. ABOUT LANDBANK LANDBANK is the largest development financial institution in the country promoting financial inclusion, digital transformation and sustainable development to benefit Filipinos. The Bank is present in all 82 provinces in the country, committed to providing accessible and affordable financial support to key players and industries as part of its broader thrust of serving the nation.
READ MOREFrom a single restaurant with 30 employees, Antonio "Chef Tony Boy" Escalante managed to translate his love for cooking into a culinary empire of multiple restaurants across the Philippines with support from LANDBANK. TAGAYTAY CITY – Just like having the right ingredients to create gastronomic experiences, to having an excellent team of chefs in the kitchen, it also takes the right people and partnerships to build a successful restaurant business. This adage rings true for Antonio "Chef Tony Boy" Escalante and the remarkable journey of the Antonio’s Group of Restaurants. Chef Tony Boy started his career not in the kitchen but in dentistry school. He then traded the dental chair for the open skies, working as a cabin crew member for Philippine Airlines for nearly a decade. However, he was only able to spread his wings and fly when he finally decided to pursue his ultimate passion – cooking. His culinary journey began at the Regency Park Institute of TAFE in Adelaide, Australia, where he honed his skills through various kitchen jobs before returning home to the Philippines. In Manila, he spent three years refining his culinary skills at the prestigious Tivoli Grill in the Mandarin Oriental Manila. In 2002, Chef Tony Boy's culinary dream materialized with the opening of his namesake restaurant in Tagaytay City. The establishment quickly became a hallmark of fine dining, lauded for its exquisite cuisine and impeccable service. Antonio’s Restaurant soon garnered numerous accolades as one of the country’s most celebrated restaurants. From 2007 to 2014, it consistently won the Best Continental Restaurant Award at Manila's Best Kept Restaurant Secrets Awards. From 2008 to 2013, it was the sole Filipino entry in the Miele Guide's Top 20 Southeast Asian restaurants, even reaching number five in the 2010 edition. Antonio's also secured the top 48th spot on Asia's Best Restaurants in 2015. Expanding the Culinary Vision with LANDBANK Chef Tony Boy wanted to expand Antonio’s operations beyond a single restaurant. In 2006, he established the Escanova Ventures which housed Antonio’s Restaurant and Breakfast at Antonio’s. He then embarked on a new venture in 2015 and put up “Balay Dako,” a restaurant offering traditional local fare and fusion cuisine with great views of Taal Lake. This required significant financial investment, with more capital needed to see plans for further expansion materialize. In 2017, Chef Tony Boy turned to Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) for a P113-million loan. This was the start of a productive partnership that laid the groundwork for sustained growth and success. The LANDBANK support supplemented Escanova Ventures’ capital, which enabled the expansion of Antonio's Fine Dining and the renovation of Breakfast at Antonio's. The loan also helped build BP One Foods Inc. to spearhead the restaurant chain's expansion across Luzon. The state-run Bank also remained a steadfast partner throughout crises, offering financial solutions and support when Antonio's Group was tested during the 2019 Taal Volcano eruption and the subsequent COVID-19 pandemic. "At the height of the pandemic, LANDBANK was there for us. They provided deferments, helped us analyze our finances, and offered tailored products that perfectly addressed our needs," shared Chef Tony Boy. Basti Escalante led the pivot to distribution and sale of Antonio’s popular products in Metro Manila during the pandemic through Pedro the Grocer. He has since played a significant role focusing on the retail side of the business. From then on, Basti became an active partner, focusing on the retail and business side of the Antonio’s chain of restaurants. This father-and-son collaboration further strengthened the Antonio's Group, allowing them to adapt and thrive amidst challenging circumstances. Empowered by LANDBANK's support, Chef Tony Boy emerged from the pandemic with renewed confidence to expand further. This financial backing and trust allowed the Antonio's Group to navigate the crises and adapt to grow amidst uncertainties. "LANDBANK believed in us, our goals, and how we run our business. This trust, even during the pandemic, was a stamp of approval that gave us the confidence to expand our ventures," said Chef Tony Boy. Cooking a Culinary Legacy What started as a single restaurant with a team of 30 has blossomed into a culinary empire of almost a thousand employees. Today, the Antonio's Group of Restaurants continues to flourish, driven by Chef Tony Boy's passion, Basti's innovative spirit, and the unwavering support of LANDBANK. "With LANDBANK's help, their banking expertise, and the dedication of their employees, we have been able to expand into Metro Manila and other cities. They have been instrumental in realizing our expansion plans," said Chef Tony Boy. Fueled by LANDBANK's commitment to empowering Filipino entrepreneurs, Chef Tony Boy’s story transcends mere culinary success. It's a narrative of how the right ingredients, the right people, and the right partnerships can create a recipe for business excellence.
