The state-owned Development Bank of the Philippines has installed the first ATM in Kalilangan, a municipality in the province of Bukidnon, according to a report in The Manila Times.

The ATM is part of DBP's mission to reach more Filipinos in rural communities by expanding the touchpoints for formal financial services. The DBP touchscreen ATM is expected to benefit the municipality's constituents, particularly 1,400 public teachers and 500 local government employees, who travel to nearby municipalities for their banking needs.
