The proposed merger of state-run banks Development Bank of the Philippines and the Landbank can only be done by congressional action, and not by mere executive order, Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman said in a statement. | jiandradeINQ /PDI

He emphasized that “the projected merger cannot legally be effected by a mere executive order.”

The GCG opinion was apparently based on the Landbank merger with the United Coconut Planters Bank , also a government bank, that took effect last year via EO 142, signed by former President Rodrigo Duterte on June 25, 2021.
