As a Filipino, I’m pretty sure you are well aware of what Pag-IBIG is. For a brief background, Pag-IBIG or Home Developmental Mutual Fund is the government-controlled association that assists citizens in their acquisition of land and/or shelters. Furthermore, this government body also offers loans and other benefits to its members . Although almost all Filipinos are aware of the requirements and the interest, the association reduced the number of requirements for the housing loan. On top of that, the interest has also decreased dramatically.
Previously, this loan has 14 requirements. Now, the requirements you need are down to seven (7). In addition to that, the interest for the housing loan reduced from 4.5% to a mere 3% for minimum-wage workers.
