Toward advancing efficient, transparent, and swift government procurement, the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) has partnered with the Land Bank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) for the use of the Government Purchase Card (GPC) to pay for official goods and services. The GPC is similar to a credit card in function, designed to shorten and simplify the requisition process for government agencies and offices, as well as streamline the disbursement of payments to suppliers.

PCO Secretary Atty. Cheloy Velicaria-Garafil, MNSA, and LANDBANK Senior Vice President Marilou L. Villafranca led the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on 11 October 2023 at the Palacio de Maynila in Malate, Manila. They were joined by PCO Undersecretary Cherbett Karen L. Maralit and LANDBANK First Vice President Cielito H. Lunaria.

LANDBANK President and CEO Lynette V. Ortiz said that the GPC Program is designed to expedite the delivery of meaningful and responsive public service, helping government agencies like the PCO to eliminate procurement lead time, facilitate digital and quicker payments, and lower administrative costs
