SAN FERNANDO CITY, Pampanga – Following the success of the inaugural event in Manila, LANDBANK reaffirms its commitment to accessible public service by participating in the regional rollout of the Government-Owned or Controlled Corporations (GOCCs) Service Caravan on November 27-28, 2025, at SM City Pampanga.
Spearheaded by the Department of Finance (DOF), the two-day caravan, themed “Serbisyo sa Bayan, Hatid ng GOCCs, Kaakbay ang DOF,” aims to bring convenient and coordinated government services directly to communities in Central Luzon, supporting the national government’s thrust for greater public visibility and engagement.
“This service caravan is our way of showing that public service should be accessible, visible, and centered on what the people need. By bringing these services to communities, working closely with our agencies, and helping more Filipinos understand what our GOCCs can offer, we can provide real support and strengthen trust in our government,” said Finance Secretary and LANDBANK Chairman Frederick D. Go, in a message delivered by Finance Undersecretary Rolando G. Tungpalan.
The caravan gathered key government institutions to provide a one-stop shop for public services. Joining LANDBANK and the DOF are the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), Social Security System (SSS), Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), Pag-IBIG Fund, Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP), and other GOCCs.
Accessible banking and loan services
The event drew a diverse audience of pensioners, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), farmers, fishers, and urban workers from across the region, as LANDBANK showcased financial solutions tailored to the needs of Central Luzon’s sectors and communities.
Featured programs include the Bank’s flagship AGRISENSO Plus Lending Program, which provides timely financing to farmers and fishers for their production needs and livelihood projects, including the purchase of raw materials, machinery, equipment, and necessary working capital to operationalize activities, with a low, fixed interest rate of 3.0% per annum for greater affordability.
“LANDBANK is excited to bring our services directly to the people of Pampanga and across Central Luzon. This caravan is a strategic platform to connect with our kababayans, understand their needs, and present financial solutions that can help improve their lives and grow their businesses,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Lynette V. Ortiz.
To promote financial inclusion, the Bank also facilitated on-site account opening and demonstrated the ease of using the LANDBANK Mobile Banking App (MBA) for everyday transactions, such as bills payment, fund transfers, and digital loan products.
The Bank also promoted the GoBayani, a digital deposit account for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and Filipinos abroad, which provides secure access for fund transfers, e-commerce, and receiving remittances via Visa Direct, as well as the PISO Plus account, a no-maintaining-balance savings account opened via the LANDBANK MBA, ideal for receiving digital disbursements, among other Bank products.
LANDBANK’s active participation in this regional caravan underscores its unwavering commitment to nation-building, and in empowering Filipinos for a better future.
