LANDBANK ensures the readiness of successors for critical positions in the Bank for the continuity of its business operations through succession planning. The HRMG, in collaboration with incumbents, conducts the Succession Planning following these processes: (a) identification of key positions in the organization; (b) determination of appropriate qualification and competency standards for these positions; (c) assessment of possible successors against the standards; (d) mapping of candidates in the succession pool; and (e) design and implementation of development programs to ensure and continuously monitor the readiness of potential successors to assume the functions and responsibilities of the position. Another vital program to ensure the availability of a highly trained and qualified management pool, the Management and Leadership Development Program (MLDP), the Bank’s premier training program for its high potentials and high performers, is continuously being conducted. The LANDBANK has established four MLDP tracks: (a) Management Training Program (MTP) for first line Supervisors; (b) Branch Officers Development Program (BODP) for future Branch Managers; (c) Lending Officers Development Program (LODP) to harness our Account Officers in the lending operations; and (d) Leadership Development Program (LDP) for current Heads of Units to strengthen and reinforce management skills in building high performing teams.
READ MORECamarines Sur Provincial Administrator Fortunato Peña and LANDBANK First Vice President Lou Villafranca led the turnover of water filtration kits to Usman-hit areas in Albay and Camarines Sur. They were joined by LANDBANK Tabaco Branch Manager Emmanuel Hizola, Iriga Branch Manager Emmanuel Avengoza, Sipocot Branch Manager Ma. Cristina Jusi, and Pili Branch Manager Marivic Oliva. Over 6,000 residents from Albay and Camarines Sur were given access to clean drinking water through LANDBANK’s Gawad KATUBIGAN (KAakibat na TUlong sa Bayan sa Inumung KailanGAN). Last March 2019, LANDBANK successfully turned over 60 water filtration units to Bicolanos devastated by Typhoon Usman, a natural disaster that hit the country late last year with Albay and Camarines Sur among those heavily affected. LANDBANK First Vice President for Southeast Luzon Branches Group Marilou Villafranca also turned over LANDBANK’s donation of Php1,215,000 as financial aid to the provinces of Camarines Sur and Albay. This will benefit 16 cities/municipalities. Gawad KATUBIGAN The Gawad KATUBIGAN is the Bank’s way to reach out to more Filipinos in remote areas who do not have access or have limited access to potable water. Implemented in partnership with W4W Philippines, Gawad KATUBIGAN is one of the Bank’s Corporate Social Responsibility Programs, which started as a small disaster response project in 2015. Its primary objective was to provide water filtration systems to typhoon-hit areas and hard-to-reach communities that need access to clean and safe drinking water. The Project has since been expanded into a full-blown program with three components: a “Disaster Response Component” through which water filter systems are provided to calamity-stricken areas; a “Disaster Preparedness Component” which provides rain catchment systems and disaster preparedness training to communities in disaster-prone areas; and a “Needs-based Component” wherein LANDBANK, upon the endorsement of its branches nationwide, provides rain catchment and filtration systems to far-flung communities with limited or no access to clean drinking water. Accredited by the Department of Health, the water filtration systems have the ability to remove 99.99% of bacteria that cause water-borne diseases such as cholera, salmonella, E. coli, among others. Each water filtration system, which can filter one million gallons of water, can provide clean drinking water for 100 people a day and can last for five to 10 years, if properly maintained.

Manay (7th from left) as part of the Bank’s financial support to a total of 44 local government units (LGUs) affected by the recent eruption of Taal Volcano. They are joined by members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of the Province of Batangas. State-owned Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) is doing its share to help ease the burden of local government units (LGUs) affected by the recent eruptive activities of Taal Volcano by donating financial assistance to calamity-stricken LGUs for their respective relief operations. The Bank has provided a total of Php3.3 million in financial assistance to 44 LGUs in the Provinces of Batangas, Cavite and Laguna. The amount of donated funds varied depending on the extent of damage sustained by the LGU, in accordance with the Bank’s existing policies on donations. “More than 150,000 residents have been displaced in communities surrounding Taal Volcano. They are now housed in hundreds of evacuation centers in nearby cities and municipalities. With the volume of evacuees, LGUs hosting these centers need all the help they can get. This is our way of supporting the LGUs, which are among the Bank’s most valued clients,” said President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo. In Batangas, the Provincial Government led the recipients of the donation, together with the cities of Batangas, Lipa and Tanauan. Also receiving support were the municipalities of Agoncillo, Lemery, San Nicolas, Mataas na Kahoy, Balete, Talisay, Laurel, Taal, Cuenca, Calaca, Sta. Teresita, Bauan, Mabini, Alitagtag, Malvar, Sto. Tomas, San Luis, San Jose, Balayan, San Pascual, Nasugbu, Ibaan, Rosario, Tuy, San Juan, Lian, Padre Garcia, Calatagan, and Taysan. The Bank also donated to the cities of Cabuyao, Sta. Rosa, Biñan, San Pedro and Calamba in Laguna, and is expected to donate within the week to the Provincial Government of Cavite, the City of Tagaytay, and the municipalities of Alfonso, Amadeo, Indang and Mendez. Earlier, LANDBANK announced it has expanded its Calamity Rehabilitation Support (CARES) Program to provide financial support to more sectors severely affected by natural calamities such as the eruption of Taal Volcano, man-made disasters like armed conflicts, and viral infection outbreaks such as the African Swine Fever (ASF). Under the enhanced CARES Program, individual small farmers and fishers, livestock raisers, large agri-enterprises (LAEs), salaried workers, and academic institutions such as schools, universities and colleges, have been added as eligible borrowers. This complements the existing eligible borrowers under the Program, namely, LGUs, disaster-affected home owners, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), cooperatives, non-government organizations (NGOs), and partner financial institutions (PFIs) such as rural banks. The Program consists of two types of credit assistance—rehabilitation/reconstruction credit program and rehabilitation through loan restructuring—which may be used for the repair of damaged facilities, construction or acquisition of new facilities and equipment, repair or purchase of housing units, working capital for agriculture production, and as capital for a lending facility of cooperatives, SMEs and NGOs for home and livelihood financing. Meanwhile, LANDBANK’s Lemery Branch remains closed until further notice. However, its clients may transact with the Bank through the LANDBANK Bauan Branch or at any branch located in Batangas.

Tan (right) sign five (5) loan agreements to finance the local government’s construction and improvement of infrastructure projects, and the purchase of two units of heavy equipment. MAHINOG, Camiguin – Endowed with rich agricultural land and alluring natural attractions, this 5th class municipality in northern Mindanao has great potential for growth. But due to limited financial resources, the municipal government is challenged to pursue high-impact projects that will boost its local economy. This year, some of the town’s development projects under its Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) are expected to materialize with the recent signing of a loan agreement comprising five (5) term loans for a maximum total of P50.3 million between the local government and Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK). Mahinog Mayor Rogerio C. Acle and LANDBANK Camiguin Branch Manager Adrian Lloyd O. Tan led the loan signing last November 26, 2020, together with other local government officials. “May mga dreams ako for my municipality na gustong matupad katulad na lang ng pagpapatayo ng mga infrastructure projects. Ang problema ay hindi namin ma-pursue dahil limited ang resources, specifically sa budget. Kaya noong nalaman ko na pwedeng mangutang sa government bank gaya ng LANDBANK, nagpursige kaming kumpletuhin ang mga requirements,” Mahinog Mayor Acle said. The loan will help the local government unit (LGU) of Mahinog acquire a brand new 10-wheeler dump truck and an excavator with breaker. These will be used to maintain various roads and other infrastructure across the town to ensure easy access and timely transport of goods from farms to the market, and to reduce transportation costs for local farmers. A separate term loan shall finance the construction of a two-storey commercial building with a total floor area of 1,291 square meters. The building, which will be divided into various spaces and offered for lease to small and medium enterprises and traders, is expected to promote commercial activities and attract investments to the town. Another term loan is allocated for the completion of the town’s unfinished Queobe Training Center. The loan will help finish the construction of the center’s training hall, convert the existing mini-training hall into rooms, and expand the dormitory to accommodate more training participants. A portion of the loan will also be used to acquire furniture, fixtures, kitchen equipment and other related paraphernalia needed in the training center. Adjacent to the municipality’s Queobe Training Center is the Katunggan Park, an eco-park with existing boardwalk and picnic sheds for tourists and trainees. Through one of the term loans from LANDBANK, the local government is targeting to complete this year the construction of a 104-square-meter canteen building and a 48-square-meter picnic shed within the park. Finally, LANDBANK also granted the Mahinog LGU a term loan for the land development of the proposed Benoni Public Market and Transport Terminal. This involves filling up the remaining 3,700 square meters of the one-hectare area with embankment so that a transport terminal and a public market building can be built in the future. The project aims to decongest the national highway fronting the Benoni Port, which is the gateway to the entire island of Camiguin. “LANDBANK continues to extend necessary credit assistance to local government units for small- to large-scale development projects. We believe that through these initiatives, we can multiply efforts in spurring local economic activity and growth, especially in the countryside,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Cecilia C. Borromeo. As of December 31, 2020, LANDBANK has extended P54.47 billion in outstanding loans to LGUs nationwide. This includes P19.86 billion for agri-aqua projects, as well as P5.89 billion and P5.34 billion for transportation and health care projects, respectively.
