It has spread out its outlets with 112 branches in all, 46 of which are located in various accessible and convenient places in Bicol Region, while 66 others are in Metro Manila and in some Luzon provinces. Further expansion of its services in response to the needs of the people is foreseen and being planned to be carried out in the years ahead.
