🏡 How Pag-IBIG Financing Works
Pag-IBIG offers a housing loan that lets members buy, build, or renovate a home with low monthly payments because the interest rates are lower than most banks.
You apply for a housing loan
You submit your documents (ID, payslips, COE, etc.) and choose:
Your loan amount
Your loan term (up to 30 years)
Your preferred interest rate (1-year, 3-year, or 5-year fixing period)
Pag-IBIG checks your eligibility
They evaluate:
Your age
Salary / capacity to pay
Credit background
Existing Pag-IBIG contribution months
Pag-IBIG computes your loanable amount
They check how much you can borrow based on your income.
Example:
If your salary can support a ₱10,000 monthly mortgage, they compute how much loan matches that.
If approved, Pag-IBIG pays the developer or seller
Once approved:
If it's a condo or house and lot, Pag-IBIG pays the developer directly
You now start paying monthly to Pag-IBIG
You pay monthly amortization
Your monthly payment includes:
Principal
Interest
MRI (Mortgage Redemption Insurance)
Fire Insurance
These are required by Pag-IBIG to protect you and your property.
You move in and enjoy your home
As soon as the developer confirms payment and turnover is ready, you can move in.
