Lagman: Only Congress can authorize LandBank-DBP merger

Rep. Edcel Lagman (Albay, 1st District) said only congressional action could bring about the proposed merger of the Land Bank of the Philippines (LandBank or LBP) and the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP).

The merger of LandBank with DBP will result in the creation of a single government bank that will be the largest in the Philippines.
