When forming a family, acquiring a place of shelter should be the main focus. Sadly, this may not be achievable for those of lower financial standing. Fortunately, PAG-IBIG offers its members a chance to make their housing dream a reality.
The Home Development Mutual Fund, more commonly known as Pag-IBIG Fund, was founded to aid Filipino citizens in attaining an appropriate living situation at a cost-effective rate. Being a Pag-IBIG member allows for access to various advantageous services such as a Pag-IBIG housing loan, short-term loans, and provident savings.
As mandated by law, all employees must be members of the HDMF or Pag-IBIG Fund. If you have been employed in the past, then you are likely already a part of the membership.
