Ortiz (rightmost), and DBP President and CEO Michael O. de Jesus (3rd from right) lead the ceremonial signing for the P110-billion syndicated loan for PSALM on 30 July 2024 in Quezon City, witnessed by Assistant Government Corporate Counsel Judge Basilia Serrano-Angeles (leftmost). Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) has extended the majority of the P110-billion syndicated loan facility to state-owned Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management (PSALM) Corporation in support of strengthening and enhancing the competitiveness of the country’s local power industry. LANDBANK committed to financing P60 billion of the total facility amount. The proceeds will be used by PSALM to augment its working capital requirements, refinance existing liabilities, and settle domestic contractual obligations. “LANDBANK has a long-standing history of supporting the National Government’s electrification initiatives, with our loan portfolio encompassing a wide range of energy-related projects. We will continue to support PSALM in addressing the energy needs of the country today and in the future,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Lynette V. Ortiz. PSALM President and CEO Dennis Edward A. Dela Serna, together with LANDBANK President and CEO Ortiz and Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) President and CEO Michael O. de Jesus, led the ceremonial signing for the Php 110.0 billion syndicated term loan facility agreement on 30 July 2024 in Quezon City. Assistant Government Corporate Counsel Judge Basilia Serrano-Angeles witnessed the event. “We express our heartfelt gratitude to LANDBANK, DBP and OGCC for their continued support in attaining PSALM’s financial objectives. PSALM’s liability management program has presented significant challenges as we strive to fulfill our mandate of liquidating the financial obligations we have assumed. This syndicated loan provides additional financial support to PSALM, ensuring our continued progress and assist our asset management and privatization strategies,” said PSALM President and CEO Dela Serna. “With this loan, we are projecting a net reduction of PHP12.9 billion in our financial obligations for CY 2024,” he added. LANDBANK and DBP acted as the Joint Lead Arrangers for the syndicated deal, with the DBP - Trust Banking Group as the Facility and Paying Agent, and the Office of the Government Corporate Counsel (OGCC) as the Transaction Counsel. PSALM is a wholly-owned and controlled government entity mandated under the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA) to take over the ownership of all existing generation assets of the National Power Corporation (NPC), independent power producer (IPP) contracts, real estate, and all other disposable assets, including the transmission business of the National Transmission Corporation (TransCo). The agency also manages the orderly sale and privatization of these assets with the objective of liquidating all of NPC's financial obligations in an optimal manner. LANDBANK has been a steadfast partner of PSALM since 2008, providing essential financing in support of its mandate under the EPIRA law. The Bank also continues to service the development requirements of the energy sector, including other industry players such as large oil companies, power producers, and distribution utilities.

READ MORELand Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) welcomed the recent issuance of Executive Order No. 65, which authorizes the merger of the LANDBANK Leasing and Finance Corporation (LLFC) and UCPB Leasing and Finance Corporation (ULFC). President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. signed EO 65 on 6 August 2024, which effectively merges the two leasing and finance corporations, with LLFC as the surviving entity. Both LLFC and ULFC are subsidiaries of LANDBANK, with the latter becoming a subsidiary upon the merger of LANDBANK and the United Coconut Planters Bank (UCPB) in 2022. “Given the similar product and service offerings, this synergy will enhance LANDBANK’s leasing and financing market power and reach. The move is also consistent with the national government’s streamlining to address duplication of functions, and organizational right-sizing to reduce the demand on government resources such as personnel and infrastructure, among others,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Lynette V. Ortiz. The merger positions LLFC to better support the national government’s development agenda, with its strengthened capital base and improved operational capacity. The state-run Bank also assured the clients of LLFC and ULFC that the merger will be smooth and orderly—with customer servicing unhampered—and conducted with the welfare of all stakeholders in mind.

Electric distribution utilities can also use the loan as short-term working capital for the incremental increase in generation and distribution expenses. “We want to boost the ability of our clients and partners to recover quickly from calamities and disasters. We have expanded our accessible financial support interventions to help build resilience and expedite response and rehabilitation efforts,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Lynette V. Ortiz.
