π π‘ Did you know?
Even if your house gets damaged or destroyed by a typhoon, earthquake, or floodβ¦
π You STILL owe the bank or Pag-IBIG.
Yes β even if your home is gone, your housing loan doesnβt disappear.
You borrowed money, and that loan remains your responsibility until itβs fully paid.
Thatβs why when you buy a house through Bank Financing or Pag-IBIG, having the right insurance coverage is a must!
Hereβs what every homeowner should understand π
π¦ 1οΈβ£ MRI (Mortgage Redemption Insurance)
This protects your family if something happens to you (the borrower).
If you pass away before the loan is paid off, the MRI settles the remaining balance β so your loved ones wonβt inherit the debt or risk losing the home. π
πͺοΈ 2οΈβ£ Fire and Acts of Nature (AON) Coverage
This protects your property itself β in case itβs damaged or destroyed by fire, earthquake, flood, or typhoon.
Without this, the bank or Pag-IBIG will still collect loan payments even if your house is unlivable. π’
π Hereβs how it works:
β
You file a claim for the damage.
β
The insurance company pays the bank or Pag-IBIG directly (since your property is the collateral).
β
If the claim amount covers your remaining loan β good news, your loan is settled!
β
But if itβs less, youβll have to pay the difference.
π‘ Real talk:
Insurance pays for the damage, but your loan stays until the lender is fully paid.
MRI protects your family, and AON protects your home. Both are essential for your peace of mind and financial security. β€οΈ
β¨ Tip:
Whether your home is under Bank or Pag-IBIG financing, review your insurance today.
Make sure youβre protected with MRI + Acts of Nature coverage.
