In support of the National Government’s thrust to deliver responsive and accessible
public services, LANDBANK joined the launch of the Government-Owned or
Controlled Corporations (GOCCs) Caravan, offering financial relief and recovery
programs for clients affected by the recent typhoons experienced nationwide.
Spearheaded by the Department of Finance (DOF), the two-day Caravan officially
kicked off on 29 July 2025 at Robinsons Manila in partnership with the Bureau of
Internal Revenue (BIR) and other GOCCs.
“Maraming serbisyong pampubliko ang inaalok at handang ibigay ng gobyerno na
lingid sa kaalaman ng ating mga mamamayan. This is our way of enabling our
people to maximize the benefits the government can offer,” said Finance Secretary
and LANDBANK Chairman Ralph G. Recto in a statement.
LANDBANK featured at the event its emergency and calamity assistance programs
designed to help fast-track recovery and rebuilding efforts.
“We are committed to providing urgent and practical financial solutions for our
kababayans affected by recent calamities. Whether for emergency needs or
rebuilding their livelihoods and businesses, LANDBANK is here to help our clients
get back on their feet and move forward,” said LANDBANK President and CEO
Lynette V. Ortiz.
Emergency Support Programs
LANDBANK highlighted its Community Assistance and Reintegration Support Plus
(CARES Plus) Lending Program, which offers financing support to affected farmers
and fishers, cooperatives, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs),
corporations, and electric distribution utilities.
Loan proceeds may be used for working capital, capital expenditures, or the repair
and acquisition of disaster-damaged equipment, facilities, and structures. Electric
cooperatives and utilities may also access short-term financing to address increased
generation and distribution costs.
LANDBANK also promoted its Electronic Salary Loan (eSL) for government and
private employees with LANDBANK payroll accounts for convenient access to credit
via the Bank’s digital platforms. Proceeds are credited directly to the borrower’s
account, and qualified borrowers may renew their loans after three months of good
payment standing.
To support LANDBANK cardholders in urgent need of funds, the Bank is also offering its EasyCash for
Emergencies service, allowing qualified credit cardholders to convert their available credit limit
into emergency cash with repayment terms of up to 36 months.
For pensioners and government employees, the Bank is also offering the Pension and Emergency
Relief (PeER) Loan Facility to provide accessible credit assistance to serve urgent financial needs.
Under the LANDBANK PEER facility, eligible borrowers may avail of loans ranging
from P20,000 to P300,000 at a competitive interest rate of 10% per annum, to cover
emergency expenses, medical needs, and other immediate requirements.
To further expand access to financial services, LANDBANK also facilitated straight-
through account opening through the LANDBANK Mobile Banking App (MBA) at the
event, allowing customers to conveniently open a digital savings account using only
their smartphones.
A Concerted Government Effort
Other GOCCs joined LANDBANK and BIR in the caravan, including the Philippine
Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), Social Security System (SSS),
Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), Pag-IBIG Fund, Philippine Deposit
Insurance Corporation (PDIC), and the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP),
Small Business Corporation (SBC), National Development Company (NDC), and
Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA).
The Bank’s active participation in the GOCC Caravan reaffirms its commitment to
inclusive and needs-based financial services — especially during times of crisis —
towards empowering Filipinos and building resilient communities.

years of advancing growth, financial inclusion, and sustainability through responsive
and impactful banking services.
