MALASIQUI, Pangasinan – Residents and business owners from this 1 st class
municipality can now settle their payments for real property taxes and business
permits faster and more conveniently through the online payment facility of the Land
Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK).
The Municipal Government of Malasiqui has partnered with the state-owned Bank for
the integration of the LANDBANK Link.BizPortal to its website, where constituents
can now access the local government’s online services.
Through the Link.BizPortal, customers can complete payments for local transactions
safer and easier online without having to physically visit the municipal hall.
Malasiqui Mayor Noel Anthony M. Geslani alongside LANDBANK Senior Vice President
Ma. Belma T. Turla and Assistant Vice President Emelyn M. Justiniano led the launch
of Malasiqui’s new online services on 8 June 2023 at the town’s Municipal Hall.
They were joined by Malasiqui Vice Mayor Alfe M. Soriano, Department of Trade and
Industry (DTI) Pangasinan Provincial Director Natalia B. Dalaten, and LANDBANK
San Carlos (Pangasinan) Branch Head Menchie C. Mencias.
“LANDBANK continues to collaborate with local government units and other
government partners to provide customers with safe and secure online payment
options. This forms part of our push for greater financial inclusion, while promoting
transparency and efficiency in the delivery of meaningful and responsive public
service,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Lynette V. Ortiz.
LANDBANK has now onboarded a total of 22 local government units (LGUs) in
Pangasinan to the Link.BizPortal, to provide efficient and convenient digital payment
services for Pangasinenses. These LGUs include the Provincial Government of
Pangasinan and the City Governments of Alaminos, Dagupan, San Carlos and
Urdaneta.
“Itong launching po natin ngayon ay napakahalaga dahil kahit saan, kahit anong
oras ay pwede ng makapagbayad ng fees,” said Mayor Geslani, adding that the
newly launched online services will help promote ease of doing business in
Malasaqui, while helping generate more income for the municipal government.

pay for products and services online to over 1,250 government and private partner
merchants nationwide.
