“The ASENSO Bonds offer investors a unique opportunity to earn competitive, fixed returns while contributing to meaningful projects that benefit communities and the environment,” said LANDBANK president and CEO Lynette V. Ortiz.
The bonds are expected to be listed on the Philippine Dealing & Exchange Corp. on Feb.16, 2026, with China Bank Capital Corp. as sole issue manager and with both firms acting as selling agents.
P10,000 minimum via app
The Agriculture, Sustainability, Environment and Socioeconomic Development (ASENSO) Bonds will be available through the LANDBANK Mobile Banking App, with a minimum investment of P10,000 in increments of P10,000.
The peso-denominated, fixed-rate ASEAN Sustainability Bonds carry tenors of 1.5 years and 3 years, with interest paid quarterly and subject to final withholding tax.
Funding green and social projects
LANDBANK said proceeds will go exclusively to eligible green projects such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, green buildings, clean transport, sustainable water management, and pollution prevention, as well as social projects like food security, affordable housing, health, education, access to essential services, and employment generation.
The lender previously raised P5 billion from its maiden sustainability bond in 2020, which drew P16.6 billion in bids, highlighting demand for sustainability-labeled investments.
