A sense of optimism filled LANDBANK offices as Secretary Frederick D. Go assumed his new role as Secretary of Finance and LANDBANK Chairman, marking a fresh chapter for the state-owned bank’s partnership with Filipino farmers, fishers, and other priority sectors.
LANDBANK officials said Secretary Go’s appointment brings “visionary leadership” aimed at strengthening the bank’s role as a key financial partner in national development. With his guidance, LANDBANK plans to enhance existing programs, introduce innovative solutions, and expand services to promote financial inclusion and sustainable growth.
“Secretary Go’s leadership is an opportunity to further empower Filipinos,” a LANDBANK spokesperson said. “Our shared goal is to ensure that farmers, fisherfolk, and other sectors have better access to credit, programs, and tools that can improve their livelihoods and help build a stronger economy.”
LANDBANK has long served as a crucial support system for rural communities, providing loans, insurance, and development programs designed to increase productivity and income. Under Secretary Go, the bank aims to strengthen these initiatives and explore new projects that respond to emerging needs across the country.
The Department of Finance welcomed Secretary Go’s appointment as a step toward closer collaboration with LANDBANK in advancing programs that uplift Filipino communities, particularly in agriculture and fisheries. Officials emphasized that this partnership is vital in achieving inclusive growth and ensuring that government financial services reach those who need them most.
As Secretary Go begins his tenure, stakeholders in agriculture and rural development look forward to tangible improvements in access to finance, innovative banking solutions, and programs that support long-term economic stability for Filipino families.
