LANDBANK has formalized a partnership with the League of Municipalities of the Philippines to enhance access to development financing and technical support across 1,486 municipalities nationwide.
The collaboration, cemented through a Memorandum of Agreement during the LMP 1st General Assembly on March 9 in Pasay City, was signed by LANDBANK Executive Vice President Charlotte I. Conde and LMP National President Mayor Faustino ‘Inno’ Dy V, with LANDBANK First Vice President Allan R. Bisnar and LMP Secretary General Mayor Danielle Niña Bernos as witnesses.
“By providing municipalities with accessible financing, we empower local leaders to transform their communities and strengthen local economies. This partnership helps turn plans into action, enabling better services for their constituents,” said LANDBANK President and CEO Lynette V. Ortiz.
