Core Functions
DBP services various sectors of Philippine society, from farmers to businessmen. Although the Philippines has an economy largely dependent on agriculture, something that Landbank addresses, DBP aims for national development through financing the various businesses and economic sectors that keep the Philippine economy afloat. Like Landbank, it provides the services of a regular universal bank; however, it is officially classified as a "specialized government bank" with a universal banking license.
Also like Landbank, DBP also has a large rural branch network. However, the aim of DBP's rural branch network is not the same as Landbank's. Instead, DBP diversifies banking choices whenever an area's banking sector is either dominated by one or a few banks, regardless of status.

Famous quotes containing the words core and/or functions:
“For books are more than books, they are the life
The very heart and core of ages past,
The reason why men lived and worked and died,
The essence and quintessence of their lives.”
—Amy Lowell (1874–1925)
“If photography is allowed to stand in for art in some of its functions it will soon supplant or corrupt it completely thanks to the natural support it will find in the stupidity of the multitude. It must return to its real task, which is to be the servant of the sciences and the arts, but the very humble servant, like printing and shorthand which have neither created nor supplanted literature.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
