The LBP Resources and Development Corporation (LBRDC), a subsidiary of the Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK), received three awards from the Governance Commission for Government-Owned and Controlled Corporations (GCG) for its exceptional performance and commitment to service excellence.

As stewards, the Governance Commission shall instil in GOCCs accountability, economic viability, and responsiveness in serving the needs of the public.

Additionally, the corporation was recognized as one of the “Most Improved GOCCs” based on its Performance Scorecard Rating from CY 2021 to CY 2022.
