Demand among Filipino retail investors to utilize digital investment platforms is growing, as the Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) sold significantly more online placements in the recently concluded Retail Treasury Bonds Tranche 30 (RTB-30) issuance of the National Government. The Bank sold close to half a billion or P438 million worth of RTB-30 investments through its online channels, which is almost three fold of what it sold in the last RTB-29 offering in 2023. LANDBANK’s online sales represent two-thirds of the total RTB-30 online sales worth P664 million. “The significant increase in online placements for RTB-30 reflects the growing confidence of retail investors in using our digital solutions. LANDBANK will remain committed to providing Filipinos with secure and convenient ways to participate in the financial market and contribute to nation-building,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Lynette V. Ortiz. The RTB-30 digital placements worth P438 million were sold through the LANDBANK Mobile Banking App and the mobile banking app of the Overseas Filipino Bank (OFBank)—the official digital bank of the Philippine government and a subsidiary of LANDBANK. The RTB-30 was also sold through the LANDBANK Link.BizPortal, a web-based payment channel, via the Online Ordering Facility of the Bureau of the Treasury (BTr). The National Government raised a total of P585 billion for the RTB-30 issuance making it the largest domestic fund-raising issue to date. As Lead Issue Manager, LANDBANK sold and contributed almost 30% of total sales. RTB-30 offers a very attractive investment return with a coupon rate of 6.25% per annum, with a minimum placement of P5,000. Interest payments will be paid quarterly within a five-year term. LANDBANK is one of the Joint Lead Issue Managers of RTB-30, designed to raise funds in support of the National Government’s sustainable and inclusive development agenda. The proceeds of the issuance will be used for enhancing the country’s infrastructure, strengthening the agriculture and other essential sectors, and improving the healthcare system, among other national development priorities.

LAL-LO, Cagayan — In line with its continuing mission to boost the agriculture sector and accelerate rural development, LANDBANK launched a comprehensive capacity-building program to equip agricultural players with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed for sustained growth and success. The LANDBANK Agri-Fishery Support thru Capability Enhancement for Nationwide Development (ASCEND) Program addresses the critical need for tailored interventions among agricultural stakeholders to ensure productive and profitable agri-business ventures, in line with Republic Act 11901 or “The Agriculture, Fisheries, and Rural Development (AFRD) Financing Enhancement Act of 2022.” Under the LANDBANK ASCEND, the Bank targets to support at least 10,000 small farmers, fishers, and agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) nationwide annually starting in 2025. LANDBANK President and CEO Lynette V. Ortiz, alongside National Government partners Department of Agriculture (DA) Undersecretary Roger V. Navarro and Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) Regional Office II Director Primo C. Lara, with local partner Lal-lo Vice Mayor Maria Olivia B. Pascual, led the ASCEND Program’s launch on 24 January 2025 at Lal-lo Municipal Gymnasium. The event gathered around 1,000 agriculture stakeholders from Cagayan and key representatives from other government and private partners, including the Agricultural Credit Policy Council (ACPC), National Irrigation Administration (NIA), Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA), Agricultural Training Institute (ATI), Cooperative Development Authority (CDA), Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation (PCIC), Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), AGREA Agricultural Communities International Foundation, Inc. (AGREA), and LANDBANK Countryside Development Foundation Inc. (LCDFI). “With LANDBANK ASCEND, we aim to elevate the livelihoods of local agricultural producers, empowering them to maximize their full potential and actively contribute to national economic growth. This complements our continued efforts to provide accessible financial assistance and other meaningful support interventions across the agriculture value chain,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Ortiz. The LANDBANK ASCEND Program delivers holistic support through six integrated components. The Training and Upskilling component provides technical training to strengthen individual and organizational capabilities, while the Digital Financial Literacy component equips beneficiaries with essential skills for more effective financial management. The Program also employs Stakeholder Mapping to classify beneficiaries based on their capacity levels and financing access. Insights from this process will be utilized in Module Development to create customized training materials. The modes of training delivery include classroom sessions, virtual platforms, hands-on activities, demonstrations, coaching, and mentorships. To ensure sustainable outcomes, the Program incorporates a Monitoring and Evaluation component to assess the effectiveness of training modules and track the progress of beneficiaries. Additionally, the Market Linkage component connects beneficiaries to market opportunities through business clustering and other schemes. LANDBANK ASCEND serves as the capacity-building component of the LANDBANK AGRISENSO Plus Program, which features expanded eligibility, lower interest rates, and simplified loan process to provide broader access to credit and other support interventions for all players in the agriculture value chain.
