Villafranca (2nd from right) and Assistant Vice President Domingo Conrado G. Galsim (rightmost). The Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) signed a partnership agreement to ensure the smooth and speedy  disbursement of pre-disaster financial aid to some 22,000 families in typhoon-prone towns.  LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo and UNICEF Philippines Representative Oyunsaikhan Dendevnorov led the ceremonial signing for a banking services agreement for the pilot run of the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) for Anticipatory Action on 06 October 2022 at the UNICEF Philippines Office in Mandaluyong City.  They were joined by UNICEF Deputy Representative for Programs Behzad Noubary and Deputy Representative for Operations Thomas Meyerer, alongside LANDBANK Senior Vice President Marilou L. Villafranca, and Assistant Vice Presidents Domingo Conrado G. Galsim and Renato R. Aquino. Under the agreement, LANDBANK shall open an account on behalf of UNICEF for deposit and maintenance of funds among various banking services, including the crediting of multi-purpose cash transfers to the LANDBANK Prepaid Cards of identified Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) Program beneficiaries. “LANDBANK brings to the table our expertise as the distribution arm of the National Government’s social protection programs. This includes our extensive experience of delivering cash grants to the target sectors under the CCT and UCT (Unconditional Cash Transfer) programs covering 10 million beneficiaries nationwide,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Borromeo.  UNICEF Philippines Representative Dendevnorov said that the anticipatory approach reduces the costs of humanitarian response and allows affected populations to make informed decisions ahead of a humanitarian crisis. “In this context, we can say that cash transfers provided through Financial Service Providers (FSPs) like LANDBANK can improve the speed, efficacy and security of humanitarian aid delivery,” said UNICEF Philippines Representative Dendevnorov. Target beneficiaries under the pilot CERF for Anticipatory Action include families residing in the municipalities of Baras, Bato, San Andres and Virac in Catanduanes, as well as the municipalities of Catarman, Catubig, Gamay, Mondragon, and San Roque in Northern Samar. The cash assistance worth P1,000 for each CCT beneficiary will be disbursed via LANDBANK Prepaid Cards, three days before the expected landfall of a Category 4 or 5 typhoon. Beneficiaries can use the prepaid cards to withdraw cash assistance from LANDBANK automated teller machines (ATMs) and Agent Banking Partners, and make cashless purchases in groceries and drugstores via point-of-sale (POS) terminals. LANDBANK recently upgraded the existing prepaid cards of the CCT beneficiaries into transaction accounts with expanded features to provide more convenient banking services, including cash card loading via LANDBANK branches, fund transfers through the LANDBANK Mobile Banking App, and cash-in via LANDBANK Cash Deposit Machines.

Salceda (3rd from left) and National Security Adviser Secretary Clarita R. Carlos (leftmost) at the Disaster and Climate Emergency Policy Forum on 22 September 2022, to discuss strategies and interventions to combat climate change. The Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) assures local development stakeholders of continued access to climate finance under the Green Climate Fund (GCF), in support of projects for climate change adaptation and mitigation.    The state-run Bank expressed its continuous commitment in contributing to address the climate crisis at the Disaster and Climate Emergency Policy Forum on 22 September 2022, organized by the Local Climate Change Adaptation for Development (LCCAD), University of the Philippines Resilience Institute (UPRI), 4K Foundation, Komunidad Global, Albay Embassy and Climate Change Commission (CCC), in partnership with the House of Representatives and the Office of Albay Rep. Joey S. Salceda.  “LANDBANK stands ready to extend necessary credit assistance to boost national and local resiliency and adaptive capacity to climate change. We are collaborating with various development partners, such as the GCF, towards building a more sustainable future,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo. The GCF is an operating entity of the financial mechanism of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and Paris Agreement, dedicated to support global efforts to respond to the challenge of climate change. The program aims to help developing countries limit or reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and adapt to climate change, by supporting programs and projects that promote a paradigm shift to low-emission and climate-resilient development. As a Direct Access Entity (DAE) of the GCF, LANDBANK channels grants and loans provided by the GCF to finance local projects that aim to mitigate and adapt to climate change. The Bank leads the project development, management, monitoring and evaluation, in partnership with public and private entities.  In April of this year, LANDBANK and the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAG-ASA) under the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) started the implementation of the very first GCF-approved project in the country. The GCF project titled, “The Multi-Hazard Impact-Based Forecasting and Early Warning System,” aims to shift from a traditional hazard-based to an impact-based forecasting and early warning system, to help the public take pre-emptive measures and improve disaster risk reduction in the long run. The project will benefit communities in the disaster-prone areas of Palo, Leyte; New Bataan, Davao de Oro; Tuguegarao City, Cagayan; and Legazpi City, Albay.  LANDBANK is proposing for GCF approval eight other projects designed to promote climate change mitigation, adaptation and resiliency in the sectors of agriculture, health, transportation, renewable energy and energy efficiency, water resource management and ecosystem management. LANDBANK’s contribution to the GCF underscores its commitment to sustainable development and environmental protection, alongside facilitating the uninterrupted delivery of financial services to key economic development sectors. In his first address at the UN General Assembly on 21 September 2022 (Tuesday, September 20, New York Time), President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. also urged developed countries to extend climate financing to countries that are most vulnerable to climate change.

Estrella, Borromeo approve IRR on agrarian debt moratorium

Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo and Agrarian Reform Secretary Conrado M. Estrella III hold the signed implementing rules and regulations (IRR) for Executive Order No. 4 Series of 2022.  In compliance with the directive of President Ferdinand R.

Borromeo, today, September 28, 2022, signed the Joint Administrative Order providing the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) for Executive Order No. 4 Series of 2022, which declares a moratorium on the payment of land amortization and interests for agrarian reform beneficiaries. Signed by the President on September 13, 2022, the EO entitled, “Directing the Implementation of a Moratorium on the Payment of the Principal Obligation and Interest of the Amortization Due and Payable by Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries,” calls for a one-year moratorium on loan payments of Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARBs) who received agricultural land under the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP). “It is our duty in the government to prioritize the farmers, not only because they are the ones who keep us alive, but because they will make our economy rise again,” the President said. The IRR signed by the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) and LANDBANK specifies that the one-year moratorium covers the payment of the Principal Value and the Annual Interest Due and payable by the ARBs.  “The one-year moratorium period will provide the needed time for Congress to pass the law condoning the existing agrarian reform loans for the current ARBs and free land distribution for future beneficiaries,” Estrella said. It primarily covers the financial obligation to pay the total cost of the land under Presidential Decree No. 27, including interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum as provided under Section 6 of E.O. No. 228; and the financial obligation to pay the principal value including the six percent (6%) annual interest of the thirty (30)-year land amortization of the ARBs under Section 26 of RA No. 6657, as amended. “LANDBANK supports this historic initiative which is now taking off. We will provide immediate financial relief to ARBs nationwide, and yield positive results towards ensuring food security in the country,” said LANDBANK President Borromeo. LANDBANK serves as the collection agent of the National Government for land amortizations from ARBs, pursuant to its mandate as the financial intermediary of the CARP. All collections are remitted by the Bank to the Bureau of the Treasury (BTr) as part of the revenue of the National Government. The DAR-LANDBANK Joint Administrative Order covers the identification of beneficiaries qualified to avail of the one-year payment suspension, with the impact of the initiative to enhance the productivity and profitability of the ARBs duly documented and promoted.  EO No. 4 directs the DAR and LANDBANK to jointly submit to the Office of the President, through the Office of the Executive Secretary, a comprehensive report on the implementation of this Order, including data on the number of ARBs actually covered and impact of the moratorium, among others. The DAR-LANDBANK Joint Administrative Order shall take effect upon publication in the Official Gazette or in a newspaper of general circulation.
