Pag-IBIG Fund reports Q3 growth in savings, shelter financing
Pag-IBIG Fund, in coordination with the Presidential Communications Office (PCO), participated in the Philippine Information Agency’s (PIA) Kapihan sa Bagong Pilipinas on 12 November 2024.
The regional townhall, which was held simultaneously across sixteen (16) regions, became the venue for Pag-IBIG Fund to report its performance for the first three quarters of the year, reflecting their commitment to the delivery of their mandates for the benefit of the Filipino workers.
Following a historic milestone last August when Pag-IBIG Fund surpassed the PHP 1 trillion mark in total assets, the organization continues its strong growth. As of the third quarter, Pag-IBIG Fund continues to grow with more than 16.37 million active members, who have collectively saved P98.72 billion — P49.27 billion collected from the mandatory Regular Savings program and P48.86 billion collected under the Fund’s voluntary MP2 savings.
From January to September 2024, Pag-IBIG Fund was able to assist more than 2.5 million members in need of immediate short-term cash financing, approving Multi-Purpose Loan applications of more than two million borrowers amounting to a total of P49.72 billion, a 16% increase in both the number of borrowers and the total loan amount compared to the same period last year.
Almost 461,000 victims affected by various calamities this year were also assisted with the release of P5.92 billion in Pag-IBIG Calamity Loan. Applications for Pag-IBIG Fund’s Short-Term Loans do not have processing fees. Loan proceeds are also not deducted with advanced payments or interests, allowing it to be one of the most affordable cash loans in the market.
Aside from the calamity loan, Pag-IBIG Fund also approved the implementation of a one-month moratorium for housing loan payments of affected borrowers residing and working in areas declared under a state of calamity due to Typhoon Kristine. The one-month housing loan payment moratorium allows the calamity victims to prioritize finances to help them recover from the effects of the typhoon. Eligible members may apply for the availment of the moratorium program until 31 December 2024, either through the Virtual Pag-IBIG or at the nearest Pag-IBIG branch.
