In its continuing efforts to enhance the delivery of student financial assistance programs, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Caraga Regional Office initiated a Coordinative Meeting with the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) Branch Managers of Caraga via Zoom on April 6, 2026.
The activity served as a platform to reinforce collaboration between CHED Caraga and LBP in ensuring the efficient implementation of Unified Student Financial Assistance System for Tertiary Education (UniFAST) programs, particularly in facilitating seamless and accessible financial transactions for beneficiaries.
Key discussions focused on the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), operational concerns, and the proposed opening of ATM accounts for student beneficiaries to enable direct downloading of grants, thereby streamlining fund disbursement processes. The meeting also provided an opportunity for attendees to raise clarifications, share insights, and propose recommendations toward improving service delivery.
Through this initiative, CHED Caraga and its partners from LBP reaffirm their shared commitment to strengthening institutional partnerships and delivering responsive, efficient, and inclusive services to student beneficiaries across the region.
