The state housing of the Philippines, a month ago, announced that they will be having a three (3)-month moratorium on all their loans; with this, we present that Pag-IBIG Fund 3-month moratorium FAQs. A bit of back story for those not in the know… Because of the declaration of our country being in a State of Calamity because of the 2019 Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), President Duterte placed the entire island of Luzon under a strict enhanced community quarantine (ECQ).
With this declaration, it prohibited the movement of the mass. There are quarantine passes that are being given to households so they can go out in case of emergency.
But what do you know about the 3-month moratorium? Here are some Pag-IBIG Fund 3-month moratorium FAQs you might need or want to know.
To start off, some of you might not be aware of what a moratorium is. In its simplest terms, a moratorium is an act of temporarily postponing the payment of something. Moreover, it can also be an extension of the due date; this results to a longer loan term.
So technically, a moratorium is giving debtors a chance of longer payment extensions. In this case, Pag-IBIG imposed a 3-month moratorium, allowing members to cut-off payment temporarily to help with the COVID-19 situation.
