LANDBANK joins the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) in observing the 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women (VAW) from November 25 until December 12, 2021. Pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 1172, s. 2006, the VAW Campaign supports the National Government’s goal of protecting the human rights of women and girls by upholding its commitment to address all forms of gender-based violence. This year’s slogan, “Filipino Marespeto; Safe Spaces, Kasali Tayo” aims to promote awareness about the Safe Spaces Act (RA 11313 or SSA) as the country continues to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, which breeds various forms of VAW, especially online, with many spending their time in the digital realm.

READ MOREThe Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) has partnered anew with the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) to grant public utility vehicle (PUV) operators fuel subsidy under the Pantawid Pasada Fuel Program. With a Program fund of P1 billion, the Bank will facilitate the crediting of a one-time subsidy of P7,200 per unit to Pantawid Pasada Fuel cards issued by LANDBANK. This is set to benefit 136,230 eligible PUV franchise holders nationwide. As of 29 November 2021, LANDBANK has credited the fuel subsidy to 83,216 existing Pantawid Pasada Fuel cards, amounting to P599.16 million. The Bank also targets to provide fuel cards to the remaining 53,014 qualified operators throughout the country. The PUV operators can use the Pantawid Pasada Fuel cards powered by LANDBANK to purchase fuel at participating petroleum outlets and gasoline stations. During the virtual launch of the Pantawid Pasada Fuel Program held on 24 November 2021, LANDBANK expressed its commitment to support PUV operators currently facing reduced ridership and the persistent rise of oil prices. “In close collaboration with the DOTr and LTFRB, LANDBANK is focused on the immediate delivery of fuel subsidy to PUV operators for their unhampered deployment. We are one with support interventions to advance the country’s transportation sector, and provide the riding public safe, convenient, and continued transport services in the new normal,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo. The Pantawid Pasada Fuel Program builds on the existing Service Contracting Program of DOTr-LTFRB with LANDBANK, which provides cash assistance to PUV operators to offer free rides to frontline healthcare workers and the public affected by quarantine lockdowns. As of 29 November 2021, LANDBANK has delivered a total of P3.74 billion to 50,200 PUV drivers and 383 transport operators under the Service Contracting Program, since its launch in December last year as part of the Bayanihan to Recover as One Act. Meanwhile, for the second phase of the Service Contracting Program launched in September, LANDBANK has already disbursed a total of P2.01 billion to 389 operators of 5,753 PUVs nationwide.

READ MORECALAYAN, Cagayan – The Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) approved a P200-million loan for the Municipal Government of Calayan to finance infrastructure projects for its development and recovery efforts, amid the ongoing health crisis. The local government acquired the financing under the LANDBANK RISE UP LGUs (Restoration and Invigoration Package for a Self-sufficient Economy towards UPgrowth for LGUs) Lending Program, designed to provide the funding requirements of provincial, city and municipal local government units (LGUs) for the implementation of their respective economic recovery plans. Part of the 15-year term loan will be used to put up a 270-square meter quarantine facility in Barangay Dadao that will expand the municipality’s healthcare capacity in a bid to reduce the spread of COVID-19. The 60-bed quarantine facility—which will feature individual partitions and lavatories—will replace schools currently being used as isolation areas for residents suspected or have tested positive for the virus. The facility is seen to enhance the comfort of patients while undergoing quarantine or treatment. “LANDBANK continues to provide for the recovery and development requirements of our partner LGUs in response to the pandemic. We are focused on ramping-up initiatives in support of building resiliency and revitalizing local communities,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo. The LANDBANK loan will also cover the construction of a perimeter security fence for Calayan’s community airport, which facilitates the delivery of vaccines and relief goods to the island, as well as the transport of patients under critical condition. As part of Calayan’s development plan, the loan will also finance the concreting of the Babuyan Main Road and the routes connecting Caanawan to Kataruman, Dibay to Dilam, and Balatubat to Minabel, effectively doubling the Municipality’s concreted road network to 60% from the current 30%. The road project is expected to reduce travel time around the island and eliminate slippery dirt roads during the rainy season, making transport safer and more efficient for locals, which includes 1,250 local farmers regularly transporting their agricultural produce. The P200-M loan will also be used to finance the acquisition of a patrol boat and construction of the following facilities: six (6) classrooms in different schools, one (1) school administrative building, and a 100-meter bridge in Brgy. Naguilian to help farmers safely transport their produce across a creek. “Thank you to LANDBANK for being a reliable partner of LGUs in socioeconomic development and for providing us with the assistance we need for our projects, especially at this difficult time,” said Calayan Mayor Joseph M. Llopis. The state-run Bank has previously financed Calayan’s other development projects, which include the purchase of a ferry which safely transports passengers from island to island, the construction of the Calayan airport, and concreting of the municipality’s road network. As of 31 October 2021, LANDBANK has approved P94.03 billion in loans under the RISE UP LGUs Lending Program for 346 LGUs, including 45 cities, 35 provinces and 266 municipalities.

Lim (center) lead the opening of the LANDBANK Rizal NE Agri-Hub (right photo) located at Pinagpanaan-Pantabangan Junction, Poblacion Sur, Rizal, Nueva Ecija. RIZAL, Nueva Ecija – In line with its commitment to serve more farmers and fishers, the Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) opened its newest Agri-Hub in the Municipality of Rizal, Nueva Ecija—the first one in Central Luzon. The LANDBANK Rizal NE Agri-Hub is expected to provide financial and technical services to the Bank’s customers, including the more than 3,000 farmers and fishers from the municipalities of Rizal and Pantabangan. Located strategically in the top rice-producing provinces in the country, LANDBANK Agri-Hubs are designed to deliver accessible and reliable financial services to farmers nationwide. This forms part of the Bank’s thrust of responding to the developing needs of the agriculture sector, especially under the new normal. The LANDBANK Rizal NE Agri-Hub offers banking services such as account opening, withdrawals, and check encashments; lending services such as the processing of loan applications; and agrarian services such as processing of Agrarian Reform (AR) bonds and handling of agrarian-related concerns from landowners, bondholders, and agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs). Aside from agriculture stakeholders, the Rizal NE Agri-Hub will also service various national and local government offices, private establishments, as well as micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the area. It will also offer access to various digital banking platforms, including the Digital Onboarding System (DOBS) which simplifies the account opening process for new clients to only 10 to 15 minutes. Rizal Administrator Rafaelito V. Andres and LANDBANK Central Luzon Branches Group Head, Senior Vice President Sylvia C. Lim, led the inauguration of the LANDBANK Rizal NE Agri-Hub, alongside Pantabangan Mayor Roberto T. Agdipa and Rizal Vice Mayor Bonifacio D. Soliven on 29 November 2021. Located at Pinagpanaan-Pantabangan Junction, Poblacion Sur, Rizal, Nueva Ecija, the LANDBANK Rizal Agri-Hub is headed by Bessie Grace M. Lazaro under the supervision of San Jose NE Branch Head, Manager Eva B. Gomez. The Rizal NE Agri-Hub is the 6th to open nationwide, bringing LANDBANK’s physical network to 412 branches and 69 branch-lite units, with presence in all 81 provinces in the country. The five other LANDBANK Agri-Hubs are situated in Calabanga, Camarines Sur; Barotac Viejo, Iloilo; Sual, Pangasinan; Echague, Isabela and Sta. Maria, Ilocos Sur. LANDBANK targets to open four more Agri-Hubs within the year, located in Bago City, Negros Occidental; Ubay, Bohol; Baggao, Cagayan; and Candaba, Pampanga. LANDBANK continues to expand its physical touchpoints to better serve the banking needs of customers across the country, especially in unbanked and underserved areas.
READ MOREState-run Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) expressed its continuous support for the Bureau of Internal Revenue’s (BIR) tax collection modernization efforts, as the Bureau launched a renewed campaign to enhance taxpayer services to be more accessible, secure, and convenient. Alongside the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and other financial institutions, LANDBANK joined the BIR’s “Taxpayer FIRST” initiative, which stands for Fast, Innovative, Reliable, Secure, and Technology-driven developments to drive better tax administration. Prior to the campaign launch on 10 December 2021, LANDBANK has already been providing taxpayers with a safe, reliable, and efficient online payment solution to conveniently pay their taxes through its Link.BizPortal facility. “The LANDBANK Link.BizPortal fits BIR’s ‘Taxpayer FIRST’ campaign as it offers fast payment transactions; provides an innovative and cashless solution; round-the-clock reliability and accessibility; secure and real-time processing; and the latest technology to facilitate transactions via computers and mobile devices,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C Borromeo. The Link.BizPortal allows customers to pay tax liabilities online via the BIR or LANDBANK websites, thereby eliminating the need to wait in line at BIR regional and district offices. The Bank also underscored the sustained increase in the usage of the Link.BizPortal for tax payments, from recording 6,466 transactions in 2017 to 399,597 in 2020. For the first 10 months of 2021, the LANDBANK Link.BizPortal has successfully facilitated 530,546 tax payment transactions amounting to P1.3 billion, representing increases of 65% and 78%, respectively, compared to the same period last year. Aside from tax payments, the LANDBANK Link.BizPortal also allows individuals and institutional customers to pay for various products and services online for over 800 enrolled partner-merchants nationwide. From January to October 2021, the Link.BizPortal has facilitated a total of 3.26 million transactions worth P8.38 billion, for 90% and 22% growth rates year-on-year, respectively. The upsurge is consistent across LANDBANK’s major electronic channels, which have collectively recorded a 54% rise in value, totaling an unprecedented P1.88 trillion. LANDBANK’s digital banking platforms promote efficient payment systems in support of the National Government’s Ease of Doing Business initiative.
READ MOREIn partnership with the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA), the Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) is holding financial literacy trainings to small and micro cooperatives from unbanked and underserved municipalities to aid their recovery under the new normal. Through the Financial Inclusion Through Cooperatives (FIT-Coop) Program, LANDBANK is capacitating small and micro cooperatives to enhance their business operations while linking them to appropriate government agencies for the improvement of their services. For the first 10 months of the year, LANDBANK—through the LANDBANK Countryside Development Foundation, Inc. (LCDFI)—has conducted nine financial literacy trainings for 18 cooperatives with 193 members from nine unbanked municipalities nationwide. “Technical assistance forms part of LANDBANK’s holistic support in service of small and micro cooperatives, especially in unbanked and underserved areas in the country. Together with the CDA, we are focused on building the resiliency of our partner-cooperatives to spur economic activity and fast-track our collective recovery,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo. Through the FIT-COOP Program, LANDBANK and CDA also conducted an online survey early this year to identify the specific training needs and challenges faced by small and micro cooperatives in their daily operations. Results from Central Visayas and Caraga regions showed that recurring constraints for cooperatives include slow internet access, lack of potable water systems, and difficult road conditions, among others. To help address these issues, the results of the survey were coordinated with appropriate government agencies for possible development interventions and support.
