For many Filipinos, times seem so hard these days in their homeland. That is why more and more Pinoys try their luck abroad, where the grass is perceived to be greener. They work in foreign lands that promise them the financial freedom that their native country cannot seem to give them.
For those who are lucky enough to return to their native land with sufficient money they have accumulated abroad, the first sound investment that would come to mind is an investment in real property. Home ownership is in every responsible Filipino’s wish list.
Overseas Investment
But waiting for a good sum of money to pay Spot Cash for a property in the Philippines is not only a good idea, but would also take a long time for most Overseas Filipinos. After all, there are other expenses, family remittances and obligations to take care of also.
Wouldn’t it be nice if they can start building their home in the Philippines while they are building their nest of cash overseas? In other words, building a house in the Philippines, without requiring too much upfront cash and pay for it in installments (mortgage amortizations).
Enter: The Pag-IBIG Overseas Program
To help the Overseas Filipino Workers, along with immigrants and naturalized citizens realize their dream home, the Pag–IBIG Overseas Program (POP) was created.
The Pag–IBIG Overseas Program is a voluntary Savings Program, wherein members are given a chance to set aside money for their future housing investments. With the program, members may avail of a housing loan of as much as Php 3,000,000 (at the time of this writing).
The Pag-IBIG Overseas Program is open to the following:
- All Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) with valid Visas or Employment Contracts
- Filipino immigrants and naturalized citizens
Money Talk – Member Contributions
Members of the program are to contribute monthly an amount equal to $US 5, at a minimum.
An upgraded membership is required for members, who would like to avail of a higher loan amount.For instance, if a member wishes to avail of a housing loan ranging from P1,500,000 to P1,600,000, he or she will have to contribute monthly an amount equal to the US dollar equivalent of PhP 750 at the point of availing the loan.
The upgraded membership contribution will form part of the housing loan monthly amortization.
POP As Savings / Investment
The Pag–IBIG Overseas Program not only serves as the OFW’s aid in fulfilling his dreams of owing a home. It also serves as a savings investment in the mutual fund company, that promises positive gains on the investment money. Note: The Pag-IBIG is a government controlled Mutual Fund corporation.
As a Pag – IBIG Overseas Program member, one is entitled to variable dividends from the excess earnings of the Fund. These dividends are distributed annually to the members and are credited to their Total Accumulated Values (TAV).
Members of the program have the option to withdraw their accumulated savings at the end of five (5), ten (10), fifteen (15), or twenty (20) years upon membership.
Foreign denomination contributions shall be converted to the Philippine Peso based on the prevailing US dollar exchange rate. As such, withdrawals of savings shall be made in Philippine Peso.
Member Benefits
Members of the Pag-IBIG Overseas programs are illegible to the following benefits:
- Housing Loan
- Multi-Purpose Loan
- Dividends
It is good to know that the Pag–IBIG Overseas Program is there to reward the efforts of OFWs through an effective savings and home financing scheme. Somehow, through POP, the OFW’s return to their native land will grant them the freedom that was somewhat denied them in the first place.
Indeed, perhaps one’s best investment in life is one’s own home. It reflects one’s status and achievement in life. This is especially true for Overseas Filipino Workers, who take chances and make sacrifices abroad for their future and that of their families.

Can I have a form to fill up through this website to become a member of the pagibig. How much is the monthly contribution? I am here in saudi albaha. Thanks………
admin says
Hi Joanne,
If you have a Pag-IBIG Office there in your place, it is best to visit them for the details especially since you are about to become a member yet. Please read again the article for the monthly contributions, but take note that the rate may change in the future.
wilfreda c. etac says
my husband is a seaman, we are currently constructing our house in the province, but seems we are running out of funds,as we estimated we are on our halfway in building our house.Because of that we are planning to have a loan, not actually a housing loan because we still procesing our lot papers, we need to finish our home as soon as posible.In what loan category are we qualified?
admin says
Wilfreda,
You can always apply a personal loan from a lending institution like bank. But take note that personal loans are usually smaller and has a shorter payment term compared to a real estate loan.
bernardo b. valencia says
i would like to purchase a house in novaliches, but i dont have enough money to buy that house, that house is used, the owner give the price of P2,500,000.00. i have only P500,000.00 is there anyway to help me. i know im not a member yet in pag-ibig, but, if somebody to help me i will be happy to be come a new member og pag-ibig. thank you so much.
admin says
Hi Bernardo,
First, make sure that the Title of the property is in order and that there are no encumbrances.
Since you are not yet a Pag-IBIG member, you can always use Bank Financing. Visit your favorite bank and get a pre-qualification.
Another option would be to sign-up immediately for Pag-IBIG Fund Membership and pay the 24 months minimum. Then apply for the loan.
I hope this helps.
Francisco R. Gonzalez Jr says
hello! I am an overseas worker here in Qatar and I am planning to get a housing loan from pag ibig,but I am not a member yet as of now,is it possible for me to avail the said load and how? and also what if I cannot
issue a collateral for the said loan?I am sending this email for I dont have time to go to the pag ibig office here in Qatar for i am always busy
at work during day time.thanks!
admin says
First, you need to be a member.
Next, you may start applying for a housing loan once you have paid 24 months worth of membership contributions. You can pay it one time or in 24 months.
Pag-IBIG Housing Loan is a secured loan and you will be required to submit the title of the property as a collateral.
Please refer also to the article on Pag-IBIG Housing Loan Requirements.
bang d. says
hi, i read your response for Francisco dated Mar 24, when you say ” you can pay it one time” ( for membership contribution) does it mean we don’t need to wait for 24 months to pay the total 24 mo. contribution, if i become a member today and pay it all, can i apply for a loan ( multipurpose or housing loan) right away? thanks.
admin says
Hi Bang,
Basically, yes. You can apply for a loan the moment you paid a total of 24 monthly contributions AND you can pay it one time.
But, remember also that just because you want to loan doesn’t mean Pag-IBIG will give you one. Just like any other lending institutions, you have to somehow demonstrate that you are capable of paying the loan.
Loan Application will not always lead to Loan Approval. The most important part is you should be able to show them that you can pay the loan.
I hope this helps.
TableKid says
Hi there, I’m an OFW working here in Saudi Arabia. I am, as far as I know, entitled at last (whew!!!) for a housing loan or probably to any other Pag-Ibig beneficial loan which I am not aware of at the moment. My question is,…(sorry po, bihira sa OFW ang hindi busy para pumunta sa Pag-Ibig office to ask a question)…I was informed about a prospect property for sale but unfortunately it can be acquired on a cash-only basis. How can Pag-Ibig help me to buy the said property? I don’t have an existing property on my possession to be used for as a collateral (that’s why I’m dreaming to have at least a small one for my family). Is it possible that Pag-Ibig will pay for me? then of course as a commitment, I’m gonna pay them back on a monthly installment basis. Finally, based to your reply to “Bang”…how can I show or rather prove them that I am capable of paying the loan? Is there any other thing to be done aside from completing all the required documents? I may sound naive, but I’m sorry, I just want to clarify. You know a “First-timer” syndrome.
Thank you, more power to you guys and Best regards..Mabuhay kayo!!!
admin says
Hi TableKid,
Let me be quick with my reply.
First, you mentioned that the property “can be acquired on a cash-only basis“. Normally, the seller is doing that because he knows that getting a loan approval takes time and he needs cash right away, he doesn’t want to wait any much longer. In this case, Pag-IBIG or any financial institution can do nothing even if they are willing to give you the loan. At the very least, you have to use your convincing power and have the seller agree that you will put down a down payment and finance the rest using Pag-IBIG Loan. If he agrees, then the other steps will make sense.
Regarding your capacity to pay, bear in mind that the Pag-IBIG Fund, or any bank for that matter, will be requiring you to present some proof of income. It could be your payslip, contract of employment, bank statements, remittance slips, or combinations of them all. The very purpose of these documents is to evaluate your capacity to pay.
Aside from these documents, there are also documents pertaining the real property in question: Subdivision Development Plan, Land Title, Contract To Sell, etc. And of course, you need to attend the seminar conducted by Pag-IBIG prior to your Loan Application.
I hope this helps you and other OFW friends. Mabuhay!

Hi,
I have an existing housing loan under pag-ibig. the house and lot i have is located in SAn Pablo City,Laguna. due to uncontrollable circumstances,(hospitalization of a relative which I finance until to her burial) i failed to pay the monthly amortization of it for about 4-5 years now.I would like to ask/ inquire if I can still avail of any assistance which would let me continue my housing loan.
Thanks you.
June Familiar
admin says
Hi June,
I’m sorry for what happened. Circumstances like that do happen.
Four to five years of missed payments is quite a long time already. Considering that span of time, you need to personally check it with Pag-IBIG about the status of the property. If it is not yet foreclosed and sold to other buyers, you still have the chance to recover it. One other thing you need to check is the amount of cash, including the penalties, you have to shoulder to continue with the payments.
emil says
hi,have a good po,ask kolang if ever to pay for 24month conttribution as 10usd,per month can i avail for a loan just for a bisnee i need a chash i think is only 300taw only for my,target internet shop im a ofw in dubai baut i have to to take my vacation then im back again in dubai my salary is 500dolars only
admin says
Hi Emil,
Pag-IBIG Fund also offers Multi-purpose Loan which can be used for livelihood purposes. And yes, you need to have contributed at least 24 months.
But you need to remember, that loan amount will depend on how much you have contributed already. I think it’s 60% of the total accumulated value. So if you intend to contribute 24 months in the hope of getting a loan larger than that, you may be disappointed.
Please check with Pag-IBIG Fund office to inquire further.
jackie v. says
can i apply for membership, pay the 24 monthly contributions and hopefully get the loan here in dubai? or is there a need for me to go back to the philippines to process those? t.y
admin says
Jackie,
Yes, you can be a member while you are there in Dubai. Please check the Pag-IBIG Overseas Program Directory so that you know where to go in particular. Better yet, give them a call first.

Pls find time to reply me and do send me more info abt housing/personal loans in my email add jeroda_avena@yahoo.com.

hi im immigrant here in guam im applying to be a member of pag ibig,i have a girlfriend whos applyimg on my behalf since theres no office here in guam,,she has an spa saying ill intend to marry her,can it be legally help us secure a housing loan since im working here?and also i fill up a form and send it back to her kindly advise and help us pursue our dream.. thank you…
admin says
Hi Darwin,
The best thing to do is to first have your girlfriend visit the nearest Pag-IBIG Office here in the Philippines. That way she can get all of the required documents and send them to you. And also, that should help both clarify things and how to go about your plans of getting a house in the Philippines.

good day po s inyong lahat.. bago lang po akong member ng PAG IBIG pero bayad ko na po yung 24 months contributions pra mkaavail ng loan. uuwi po ako this december pra magbakasyon. pwede n po ba akong makakuha ng housing loan? 1 month lang po bakasyon ko.. maaprobahan kaya agad before po ako umalis ulit ng pilipinas?
admin says
Hi Aileen,
The quick answer is Yes, you can apply for a loan. But remember there are things to be considered before Pag-IBIG will grant you the loan. A loan application is only the beginning and may not always lead to loan approval.

Dex says
good day, sir.
dati po ako nagtratrabaho sa Dubai, at member na po ako. naka pag bayad po ako ng 1 month. Plan ko po sana bayaran lahat ung 23 months para maka pag apply ng housing loan. Pero ngayon po nandito na po ako sa Afghanistan nag tratrabaho, mag tatatlong buwan na po ako dito at mag babakasyon next month. nakita ko po dun sa mga requirements na kailangan ang SPA na authenticated ng Philippine Embassy kung saan ako nag tratrabaho. Wala po kc Philippine Embassy dito at nasa British/U.S military base ako nagtratrabaho. ano po ba dapat kong gawin?
admin says
Hi Dex,
Please check with Pag-IBIG if they will accept an SPA signed by a local attorney in the Philippines. After all you are already a member of Pag-IBIG. You may also want to just issue a number of post-dated checks or have an auto-debit arrangement with your bank to pay your monthly contributions to Pag-IBIG.

Mansour says
Good day!!! i already fill up POP before coming back to SAUDI last June 01,2010, yong mga previous payment ko sa Pag ibig kasama din po ba sa newly signed POP membership???
admin says
Mansour,
If by “previous payment” you mean your contributions (and that of your employer) while you are here working in the Philippines, the answer is “No”. They are your Pag-IBIG I contribution, POP is different and separate contribution. You may want to continue with Pag-IBIG I since this is your “savings” or you just leave it until maturity period and get all the accumulated benefits equivalent to your contributions.
Mansour says
can we check through online kung ilang months na ang hulog mo sa Pag-ibig?

Unfortunately, there is no such feature as that at the moment.

First off, thanks for this helpful info. I’m currently working here in the Phil and have been a member of pagibig for the past 10 years. I have just recently accepted a job offer from Malaysia… and I want to continue my pagibig contributions. How do I go about it? Should I enroll the the POP? If I do, what happens to my 10-year contribution? Thanks in advance.
admin says
Hi Arnel,
You have to options:
Continue contributing to Pag-IBIG I and wait until it matures to receive all your earnings. To do this, you can leave a set of post dated checks to Pag-IBIG.
Enroll in POP also with or without Pag-IBIG I this time.
kenny says
hi there!
wat is basically the distinction between one’s contribution under POP and thru PAG-IBIG I? Under PAG-IBIG I,one must have contributed for at least 24 months before applying for a loan. is there such requirement under the overseas program?
admin says
Kenny,
Yes, but that rule might change soon. Basically, Pag-IBIG I is for the locally employed Filipinos, while POP is for the OFWs.
kenny says
wen can an ofw apply for a loan under the POP? is there a minimum number of contribution? wat about the rate and the amount loanable?

Hi Gina,
You can either personally go to any Pag-IBIG office here in the Philippines or have your representative do it on your behalf. Please refer to the Pag-IBIG Overseas Directory for the contact details of the POP Office here in the country.

Hi Teddy,
Remember that Housing Loans are granted to ACTIVE members of the Pag-IBIG Fund. Your first problem is how to activate your membership. And yes, Pag-IBIG can grant up to 3M loan.

Honey,
First, you need to know that starting July 1, 2910, paying a one-time 24 monthly contributions is not anymore accepted to qualify for a housing loan. You need to be at least 24 months active member.
Yes, you can assign a representative to do the processing on your behalf.

Sammix,
First, you need to settle your obligation with the developer. If everything is already good, then you can apply for a loan on the balance from Pag-IBIG. There’s is no guarantee, but you can always try.

Hi,
I am planning to re-construct my parent’s house in the Philippines, I am currently here in Singapore working as an IT professional, I am already a Pag-Ibig member. Is there any loan program available from Pag-Ibig Fund for house renovation only? Did they approved a loan like 2M? If yes, how did they usually give the amount to the member so the renovation can proceed? I really want to know the process. Thank you.
Jeff
admin says
Jeffrey,
If you are the member and you want to renovate your parent’s house using Pag-IBIG, that can’t be unless the Land Title is in your name. And in that case, the house becomes your house, not your parents’. Pag-IBIG ca grant a maximum of PhP 3M.

Thanks po..more power!!
admin says
Mariel,
Pag-IBIG will conduct its own appraisal of the property and your loan will be based on that appraised value, which is usually lower than the selling price of the seller.
Jen says
Good day Pagibig Admins.
I was a former active Pagibig member in the Phils. from 2001 ’til 2005. I was employed in a private company. Currently, I am an OFW based in Dubai. Since I worked abroad my contribution has stopped. Last year, I attended the Pagibig seminar in Makati while I am on vacation, and applied for POP. They give me a temporary ID, but I used my husband’s surname. My question is, will my contribution while single status be carried over to the new POP # I had? What should I do?
Thank you.
admin says
Hi Jen,
Your situation is very common among Pag-IBIG members and it’s good that you ask this.
First, your POP membership is different from the regular Pag-IBIG membership that you had while still employed in the Philippines.
Now, to update your family name or status, you there is a form to be filled out at any Pag-IBIG Office. Please allow them sometime to update your file. And while you are at it, you may want to request a list of all your previous contributions from them. Ask how many days it will take them to update and then return to the office or have a representative make a follow-up.
Once, your updates are done, request another list of contributions just to make sure that you are getting the right data.

greetings!
my husband is a seaman and member of POP,we acquired our house thru pagibig and have been fully paid 4 years ago.may i ask if he is eligible for a house improvement loan thru his POP and how much is his loanable amount?his contribution is P300.00.
admin says
Hi Liza,
Congratulations!
Since your husband is of good standing, it will be easier for you to get a home improvement loan. Please approach the nearest office to inquire about the loan amount. In some cases, you might be asked for a proposal from a contractor who will eventually do the project.

Alden says
hello,
I was a pagibig member in the Philippines for more than 9 years,during that time I still have outstanding multi purpose loan balance before I left the country.Now,I decided and wanna know if ever,Can I apply for housing loan even if I dont have any contribution from the time when I left up to present? Can I use my existing pagibig members account number ID to reactivate and continue my monthly contribution? just to avail housing loan and other benifits, Where can I find application form to filled up?
thanks and regards,
alden
admin says
Alden,
Did you still have an outstanding loan? I think the first step is to settle that one.
Proceed to any Pag-IBIG office because if your loan is not yet fully paid, it will negatively affect your ability to get another loan.

Hi sir Admin,
Sir , nabasa ko kasi sa mga previous post nyo po na effective july 1 ,2010 eh hindi na maari magbayad ng one time sa 24 months contribution required sa POP para makapagloan ng housing loan… kailangan eh kompletuhin nya for 2 years (24 months) bago makapagloan sa POP…
tanong ko po, active member po ako ng PAGIBIG 1, nabasa ko po na di masasama lahat ng cntributions ko sa pagibig 1 if ever magaapply ako ng POP.. magpupunta po kasi ako sa Saudi this month, ang sahod ko lang po is 1,300 saudi riyal (16,000 pesos),
1.possible po ba ako makapagloan sa pagibig POP after 2 years of continued contribution thru POP? wala po akong loan sa kahit anong lending company o sa govrment. may nakita po kasi akong house and lot anount to 2 million pesos.
2.possible po ba maaprove ng PGIBIG POP yung iloloan kong house and lot worth 2M kung 1300 saudi riyal (16000 pesos) lang po ang sahod ko monthly?
3.Magkano po ba ang kailangan na monthly contribution ko for atleast 2 years para makapagloan sa POP housing ng 2M?
Thank you po and
MOre Power! Godbless.
admin says
Hi M Suarez,
Here are some replies:
1. Yes, it’s possible, but 2M loan is quite high for your declared salary, but you can always find a partner whom you can combine your salary with.
2. Too high loan amount and too little salary to cover it. Remember, you still have other expenses and Pag-IBIG will definitely factor these things out.
3. Getting approved for a loan has a lot more to do with one’s capacity to pay it.

sir, may tanong po ako about sa monthly contribution for OFW ($20 /mo). ayon sa nabasa ko, effective July 1, 2010 ay hindi pwedeng pagbayad ng lump sum (e.g. 24mos) para maka-avail ka ng housing loan. pwede po kayang every 3 or 6 months ang hulog ng contribution? kasi may charge po ang hulog e ( $5 ). imagine if every 6 months mghuhulog (4mos x $5) lang for 24 months, samantalang if every month ka maghuhulog meaning (24mos x $5) . napaka-unfair if monthly diba. paki-clarify lang po. tnx
admin says
Hi Monsour,
You can always issue an Post Dated Check to Pag-IBIG. Please consider that option.
Joel C. Torrentira says
I am a Pag ibig POP member since April 1996 and my contribution is $20. I did not contribute regularly since I worked in the desert and far from the city. I got a housing loan last 2005 for 5 years and finished last July 2010. When my wife claimed the title of the house and lot, Pag ibig personnel refused to give because I did not finished my monthly contribution. My questions are:
1. Is it necessary to complete my contribution before I can claim the title?
2. During our briefing, our contribution is like our savings, can we claim that amount after completing within the maturity period?
Please, advice me what will I do so that I can claim the title. Can you send me an e-mail joeltorrentira@yahoo.com. Regards and more power.

Hi Joel,
Please don’t share your email address that way. We can’t respond to you via email and the best one is through this reply also. I can only hope that you read this.
Replies:
1) Your monthly amortization should also cover the membership fee and yes that is required of all active members especially those with outstanding loan.
2) Yes, you are right.
Joy says
hi, im a pag ibig member since 2004 but its not a continues payment coz my job is on and off before,now im in europe working for almost 2 years,pag ibig said i could pay the months not paid, im not yet a POP member coz theyve told my mother to present a certificate of employment and a special power of attorney, what for is the special power of attorney? and as what i know its mandatory now for OFW to be a pag ibig member so this means only valid id require to apply, am i right?
admin says
Hi Joy,
There are documents to be filled up here and since you are based abroad, the SPA is needed to officially recognize your mom to be your representative and transact on your behalf.
Joy says
i would like to know while searching for the acquired assets of pag ibig theres an amount posted, is that the actual amount when you apy in cash or there would be an interest? aside from that can i buy directly and not to be a pop member but a pag ibig member to buy it?
thanks
admin says
Joy,
The price that you see is the selling price. There might be a discount if you pay in cash. The interest is only applicable if you decide to finance it using a housing loan. If you can pay in cash, you don’t need to be a member to buy it.
Noel Mensoza says
Good Morning po,
Tanong kulang po kung mandatory nangaba sa mga OFW ang mag member sa PAGIBIG?
Salamat po
admin says
Hi Noel,
Yes, there is a new law that requires all OFW to be convered by Pag-IBIG.
Nanette Gonzales says
Hello’ Mabuhay po kayo! I just want to inquire because I was once a POP member then when I Go Home last 2006 I withdraw my money. Is it possible to continue again my membership on the said program or do I have to apply a new one.
admin says
Nanette,
What’s the reason for your withdrawal of funds? Did you retire and live permanently here in the country? Please check this one with Pag-IBIG Office where you withdraw your money.
dha says
Hi, Sir/Ma’am,
i have a few questions to ask about on how to avail the housing loan, am currently working here in Jeddah KSA and pag-ibig member for about 4-5 yrs when i was working in the phil. but unfortunately i fail to continue my contribution since i came here. is it possible for me to apply for housing loan? how much will i pay and what will be the other steps to do for availing the loan? if ever how much will be my loanable amount? many tnx!
admin says
Dha,
Please remember that only active members can avail of a loan. So the first thing you need to do it activate your membership. Please take time to read the articles on this website because some of your questions are already addressed in some articles.
Mervin says
good day po!
mabuhay po tayo mga pinoy sa abroad! sa inyo din po!
tanong lang po mam or sir, bago lang po akong member ng pag-ibig at tanong ko lang po kung pwede po akong mag loan para pambili ng lupa
after 1 year?
salamat po!
admin says
Hi Mervin,
That’s after 24 months of being an active member of the Pag-IBIG Fund.
Rogel Importado says
Hi Admin,
As I have heard that mandatorily all OFWs will be converted to Pag-IBIG and initially, there will be payment equivalent to 6 months contribution. If I will start to start my membership here in Dubai, do I need to pay that same amount or it only applies when I am in Pinas as required before getting the OEC.
In addition to this, since there will be no lump sum payment of 24 months to avail the housing loan, what if before reaching the 24 month period, the OFW plans to go back to Pinas and choose to stay for good and still wishing to continue the payment until its 24th month, can he still avail the housing loan under the POP scheme?
Rogel Importado says
Hello Admin,
Where can I submit my application for membership to Pag-IBIG as I tried to contact the landline of the Consulate Office in Dubai however no one is answering my call. Is there any alternative contact number which I can make use of?
Rogel Importado says
Hi Admin,
I have just called the Consulate Office in Dubai and they told me that the 24 months lump sum payment to avail the housing loan is still valid until 30th September 2010 and the application for the loan should have been submitted to them on or before 1st October 2010 otherwise, the application for the loan can only be submitted one year after you have completed the 24 months payment e.g. if I pay the lump sum amount on August 2010 and failed to submit my application for the housing loan by 1st October 2010 then I can only apply on August 2011.
Kindly clarify this matter as one of your reply said that the lump sum payment of 24 monthly contributions have been halted commencing 1st July 2010.
admin says
Hi Rogel,
Pag-IBIG issued this rule effective July 1, 2010. Pag-IBIG Fund may be giving you an allowance and you should treat it as a favor. If I were you, I should take advantage of that.
Rogel Importado says
Thanks for the clarification.
In addition to this, can you give me info regarding the procedure of Pag-IBIG II as it was mentioned in your previous correspondences here in this site and even in the Citizen’s Charter of August 2009 however there is no clear description of the said program and the set of procedures and terms and conditions in the website of Pag-IBIG and even within the charter.
Apparently there is a modified Pag-IBIG II based on cir. 276 dtd. 2/3/10 and Pag-IBIG II based on cir. 72 dtd. 10/23/89 which I have seen in the Member’s Data Form (MDF) however no description is mentioned regarding their disparity.
admin says
Hi Rogel,
Yes, stay tuned for that.
Actually, we have a lot of things to cover here especially now that Pag-IBIG is mandatory to all OFW’s.
Thanks for visiting this website.
ar gorospe says
sir, i would like to know if there are other options pag-ibig has to help us loan for house and lot.I understand 24 months payment donot anymore apply these days instead we have to really wait for 24 months of actively paying contributions before loan could be granted.By this time,i think the original price for the house and lot would have doubled thus the amount we would be applying for loan wont be enough now so we have to increase our loan but it will leave us coping for higher payment to pag-ibig.I honestly hope Pag-ibig could forsee this happening,if we are made to wait for 24 months before we could apply for loan.I hope to be a member not just because it will serve as savings(i have other forms of savings like SSS and bank savings)but because of the oppotunitythe agency gives for OFW like us who has limited salary, to HELP reach our dreams in a way differently from other agencies.We plan to come home this year supposively to hunt for our future home but we have second thoughts now after learning that we could no longer avail for loan coz we are just starting to be a member of pag-ibig this year as required by the govt.I still hope we could manage to get the house and lot we dreamed.
admin says
Hi Ar,
You other option would be to use other financial institutions like banks.
Rogel Importado says
I have seen in the news TV Patrol that VP Binay decided to stop the implementation of the mandatory inclusion of OFWs in Pag-IBIG.
admin says
Rogel,
Yes, that’s true and VP Binay should be lauded for doing that. It’s just too much of a drain on the finances of OFW’s.
Rogel Importado says
VP BINAY ORDERS FREEZING OF ORDER MANDATING ADVANCE PAG-IBIG PAYMENT FOR OFWS
Vice President Jejomar C. Binay today directed the Home Development Mutual (PAG-IBIG) Fund and the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration to suspend the implementation of the order mandating the six-month advance contribution of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) to the housing fund.
Binay, as chair of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC), chairs the Board of Trustees of PAG-IBIG Fund.

good day,
i want to apply housing loan, but not yet a member. i want to pay the 24 months required inorder to avail the housing loan.
im currently here saudi. i ask my wife to process all the requirements and submit to pag-ibig office.i.e if my salary is 80,000 pesos how much housing loan can i avail. Thanks. GBU
admin says
Hi Gil2566,
Sorry for the late reply.
Maybe you have did not understand the agent when he says you need to issue a number of Post dated checks. It is usually to cover the down payment, which is not shouldered by Pag-IBIG.
And by the way, getting a Checking Account is the way to go since you are there overseas. You can use that check to pay for your monthly amortizations at Pag-IBIG.
admin says
Hi Zenith,
Please proceed to any Pag-IBIG office to inquire about your membership status. That’s the only way to check.
Andresa says
How to update my passbook of my POP?.I am planning to apply housing loan.

Hi Andresa,
You may send a representative to the branch and ask him/her to have it updated. You may even request for a print-out of all your contributions.
ROWENA says
Good day! May tanong lang po ako, Bago po ako nagpunta ng ibang bansa nag apply po ako ng Pag ibig pero iyong voluntarily lang taong 2008, gusto ko po sanang maghulog pero hindi ko alam kung paano nandito po ako sa vienna austria. kung pwede po sana explain ninyo kung paano kung saan ako mghuhulog at gusto ko po mg aaply n cover ang housing loan at kung magkano ang hulog. Salamat po.
admin says
Hi Rowena,
You can do it right here in the Philippines when you come back to the country. Unfortunately, there is no Pag-IBIG branch in your host country. As for the payments, there are accredited banks that you can use or you can do it over the counter at any Pag-IBIG Office.
darling angel says
Dear Pagibig Staffs,
This is a useful website tool for OFW’s who wanted to know more about PAGIBIG benefits and features as others say we dont have that much time going to offices because of daytime schedule.Actually i am a member from 1998 i think.Im here in Dubai and since i have resigned from the my last job in the Phils i havent contributed for 2 yrs now.A friend send an email to me to become a PAGIBIG OFW member.i am interested because of the reason that i want to avail the housing loan on which i commit to pay monthly or advance my contribution.My question is how about those years that i have paid in my Pagibig 1,will it also be added to PAGIBIG 2 on which im a OFW member.What if you will come back to the Philippines after 2 years or so, will your contribution as an OFW before be updated on your PAGIBIG 1.How does it works? I hope you could give me a good advice…Thanks and more power.
admin says
Hi Darling Angel,
Your contributions in Pag-IBIG 1 will still be there and you can claim it together with all its earnings when it matures. Pag-IBIG II is not the same as Pag-IBIG Overseas Program (POP). Since you are and OFW, you probably would want to contribute to POP. And just as the same, you can consolidate all these contributions and claim it at maturity.
louie says
Hi, I would like to ask that if I will pay the 24months contribution ahead, I can instantly apply for housing loan….
Can I also adapt or transfer my partners pag-ibig housing loan on my behalf, And I shall continue the payments, since we are not yet married until this time.
Thanks,
Louie
admin says
Hi Louie,
Here is the answer to your question.
Yes, that’s called mortgage assumption. For the details, please get an advice from Pag-IBIG office near you.
Cherry says
Dear Pag-ibig,
I’am an OFW for 5years now, wanted to know and confirm if I am already a pag-ibibg member but far as I know I’m not-since I don’t have a single contribution.. but some OFW friends are saying that since we are OFW we are automatically a member. im confused. please advice.
Thank you and mabuhay!

renalyn says
is it true that if we will be able to pay the 5years contribution,we can get a lumpsum money of 900,000pesos?
Because the explanation of the agent to us is like this..
if we can be able to pay the amount 2,500US dollar(5YEARS CONTRIBUTION),within 5 months of continous paying,in the 6th month we can be able to have the lumpsum.lots of my friends and myself wants to avail his because it is indeed a great help to us ofw…thanks for the information,it helps a lot.God bless.
admin says
Hi Oscar,
Yes, all of your contributions are just there earning dividends. You may want to request from any office a print-out of all your previous contributions. There you will also see your Member ID Number.
admin says
Hi Renalyn,
Is that an agent of Pag-IBIG?
I even have a hard time understanding “his” point the way you write it.
P 900,000 is a lot of money for that small investment of 2,500 USD (roughly P 120,000). It’s just one of those too-good-to-be-true investments.
dianne cepillo says
Good day! I am an OFW here in Bahrain. I applied for POP membership on May 2010 and paid for 24 months since we are considering to apply for Pag-ibig housing loan. The agent advised me to pay the minimum mandatory-OFW contribution that is Php100 per month for the 24-month lump sum. The agent told me that with this, I can apply for the loan and if I want to consider a higher loan or upgrade my desired loan, I can pay there and then at any Pag-ibig office and this will not be a problem since I already paid the 24-month lump-sum before July 2010.
As you see it Admin, will there be any problem for me applying for Pag-ibig loan? I will be back in the Philippines in December to apply since I tried applying here in Bahrain, and they told me it’s better I do it in the Philippines.
Thank you very much and more power to you!!!

Cathy says
Hi Admin,
I am an OFW in abu dhabi. I paid my POP membership for 24months. The pag-ibig incharge here told me that I can avail the loan immidiately.
Pero nang mag punta sa Pag-ibig regional office sa Iloilo yung aking sister the one in-charge in housing loan dept. told her that I am not yet qualified to apply for loan since I paid my memebership from Aug 2010-Aug 2012. Indi daw pwede ang advance payment kung kukuha ka nang loan. Ano po ba ang totoo dito? Confuse po ako…Salamat
admin says
Hi Cathy,
If you happen to have read the FAQ Section we mentioned there that paying the whole 24 months for just one time is not anymore a valid requirement for one to apply for a housing loan. It could be that the in-charge here in Abu Dhabi is not aware of this rule — not unusual for government agencies.
Joy says
Hi. Good day! I’ve been a pagibig member since 1996 to 2004. I stop after May 2004 and worked abroad. Now i want to avail for a housing worth 2M. Is it possible that my loan would be granted. My current salary is 100K. How much do I still need to pay after consolidating my previous contributions to be able to update my membership and avail for the said loan.
admin says
Hi Joy,
First, you need to reactivate your membership. And then you can apply. Your income is one factor to be considered for approval.
renalyn says
You got the point sir,thats why we are questioning,of that 2,500 dollars how can it become that big amount of money,according to him,it is a program by the government especially for the ofw’s.instead of taking loans…yes he is a pag-ibig agent,we already fill up also the p.o.p forms..Is there a way were we can see the list of the pag-ibig representatives or agents in the country were we are working?
admin says
Hi Renalyn,
No, we don’t have the names, but you can always verify at the office if the person you are working with is indeed authorized to do it.
louie says
Sir/Madame,
As mentioned all over again, what if we pay the whole 24 months contribution in one time,let’s say sept of 2010, and pays every succeeding months contribution. Are we entitled now for the housing loan.

Louie,
Please check the FAQ Page. The answer is there, but the best article to address that is this one.

Tanong ko lng po kung di po ba kami maka-avail o ma-covered ng lowered Interest na 7%, ang sabi po kasi ng Clerk na tinanong ko doon, di raw
po kmi covered kasi, year 2005 pa raw na-aproved ang loan namin. Totoo po ba ito?

malou says
Hi, i had a house and lot loan which is already fully paid this year.. The said loan was availed when i was still employed. I stopped paying my contribution since 2000 when i resigned from my job in Quezon City but i still continue paying my loan’s monthly amortization.. Now that i am processing the title of the fully paid property, i was asked to pay the contributions i missed since i resigned on year 2000. They say my title can’t be processed if i will not pay the contributions from 2000-2010 …is that really the requirement? And another thing i discovered, my contributions reflected with Pag-ibig is only until Sept 1997, in fact i was contributing till i resigned in 2000. How can this be? The contributions of my previous officemates during this period is complete. How come my record is not when we were submitting reports to Pag-ibig in one list only…and my name is among them?..I am very sure the company remitted because i was the accountant that time.
admin says
Hi Malou,
Yours is the first question in this batch that I am responding to. I think you are making sense.
Yes, the membership contributions is required and should be paid together with the monthly amortization. I think your scheduled amortization should already include this amount, which should just be minimal.
As for your lost contributions, I don’t understand how it happens. If you can prove it to them, they have a lot of explaining to do. And by the way, this kind of anomalies do happen.

Edwin Javier says
Sir/Madam
Im here working in Abu Dhabi UAE since 2008 I pay my Pagibig contribution yearly and it is continous until now. Now my wife is a Goverment employee and she purchased a lot thru Pagibig payable for 15 years. My question is can I avail a housing loan to constract a new house in the lot that my wife purchased? This lot is still on going payment. How long the processing if ever I can avail a housing loan and what are the document needed for processing?
Regards,
Lot location in Jubillee Vill. Bay Laguna
admin says
Edwin,
The first thing to do is to ask your developer when house construction is allowed on that particular lot. Some would require that you pay at least 50% of the selling price.
Once you have determined this, you and your wife can then tack-in your Pag-IBIG contributions and apply one loan for the house construction.
Jeremy says
does paying 24 months in one payment still applies?

denny says
Hello po,
Member po ako sa PAG-IBIG since 2008 pro hindi po continous yung contribution ko kc po palipat lipat ako ng trabaho at saka ngtambay din po ako ng almost 7 months. As far as I remember, hindi pa ako umabot ng 24 months contribution at ang huling contribution ko ay noong April 2010. Nasa abroad na po ako ngayon ngtatrabaho at gusto ko pong icontinue yung membership at contribution ko kaso lng ang dinala kng family name dito ay yung singleness ko at ang PAG-IBIG record ko sa Pinas ay married. Hindi po ba mkaapekto yun sa contribution ko? Kng saka-sakali mg-avail ako ng housing loan, hindi po ba mgconflict sa record ko dito sa aborad at dyan sa Pinas? Mgkano po ang contribution ng isang OFW? Ang inaalala ko po kc yung visa at contract ko dito ay single while dyan sa Pinas ay married. I would really appreciate kng matutulungan po ninyo ako sa concern ko. Thank you very much!
admin says
Hi Denny,
The important thing to do once you are back to the Philippines is to upgrade your record (civil status from single to married) and then ask them to consolidate all your contributions.

Hello pag-ibig staff,
I’m an active pag-ibig member and want to avail of a housing loan there back home. I have an existing vacant lot and planned to construct a house ASAP. I’m a permanent resident here in the US, but my husband is still living in the Phils.
As I went through the requirements for the loan, I think my problem would be the seminar since my residence is not in the PI. Can my husband attend the seminar in my behalf? I’m planning to go home by August 2011 for a month and I would appreciate it if the loan would be processed by that time.

I inherited a lot from my father and just recently, the title is already transferred under my name. The TCT has annotation of sec. 4 rule 74 of the rules of court.

good day, im here in riyadh and im already 5 yrs. as an ofw, last august these year i fill up a form for pag ibig as an ofw and pay 800pesos, but until now i don,t know where and how to pay my contribution because i dont have i.d. w/c they told me to be send to my wife. and before that i am already contributing at least 36 months as a pag ibig 1 member, will it be counted for being ofw member now,and if i can avail a housing loan, will my wife be autorized to do the process..thanks
admin says
Ritchie:
You have to check it from the Pag-IBIG office to know about the details of your loan. There are many ways of sending your payment, the best on I think is to issue a set of Post dated checks.
Stella:
You have to personally apply at any Pag-IBIG Office.
Ahmed:
Please browse around the website to learn more about Pag-IBIG.
Allan:
Please ask your wife to follow-up on your membership status details. Better yet, ask for a print-out of your contributions.

If Yes! are this payments will be add to my total contributions? and how will I pay them? Is’t by paying them all in one transaction or each month respective?
Hoping your soonest response!

I am a member for POP since 2006, I started paying in Phils by Peso and then in 2008 I pay it here in Dubai as Dollors, in mid 2009 I transferred it again the payment in phils. which is in Peso.
My question is the Total Accumulated Value in Dollor is not mentioned in the passbook. and the total value in peso mentioned but not sure about the accuracy.
Now I will pay it again in Dollor here in Dubai as nobody taking care in PHils.
Please advise how can i consulidate the total value accumulated.

Hello Admin…as far as i know “Pagibig Fund” is only for Pilipino citizen,please correct me if i’m wrong…but my question is,How about in my situation?…I am a dual citizen but wish to retire early in the Philippines(Filipino/American passport holder).Can I be qualified to become a “Pagibig Fund” member?your response will be much appreciated.Mabuhay!…
admin says
Rommel:
Yes, that’s right. You have to be an active and contributing member for at least 24 months. I would suggest that you still continue your contributions even if you are not on-board any more.
Wilma:
You can request for the consolidation in his behalf at any Pag-IBIG Office. If he has enough salary to cover “his” new loan, yes he can. And about the POP contributions, you can do it here in the country.
Leila:
Good question. First, you need to request the Pag-IBIG Office to consolidate your records. Then ask them that you want to know the Pag-IBIG Member Number. The report should reflect your Pag-IBIG Membership Number.
Nerissa:
You have to personally request it from the Pag-IBIG Office.
Gene:
You have to be a member yourself for Pag-IBIG to consider you as co-borrower with your husband.
Renne:
Please don’t make it complicated on your part. You can always use a Mortgage Loan from a Bank in your situation. That way, there is no more membership requirements and other complicated matters that go with it.
And yes, you are certainly allowed to own a piece of land under the Laws of the Philippines.
Renne Nunez says
Admin,…Good day to you,I thought of becoming a “Pagibig” member will be an advantage for me, but base on your statements…that make sense to me. thank you so much for the information.

Hi good day to all PAG-IBIG staff, I am Nolan Labra and now presently working here in Kingdom Of Bahrain and thats the reason why i am leaving here a comment not in person, coz i really dont have time to visit one of your office here. I only want some clarification or advice on how to avail a Housing Loan for renovation only. Im a PAG-IBIG member for about 5-6 years and as a matter of fact i still have a remaining balance for my cash loan and at the same time for my contribution for the period of almost 1 year.I really want to apply the said housing renovation but my question is, Can i apply for it even if im here in abroad? or is there any posibilities that my wife can process all those requirement in behalf of my presence? And one more thing also, I read one of your requirement and it stated there that you need to have a land title; but my problem is that the existing land area wherein im leaving right now is still on my fathers name because it is an inheritance.
Pls. give me some clarification and thank you for your consideration..
GOODLUCK..
admin says
Renne:
I’m sorry, I did not mention that you are certainly qualified to be a member of Pag-IBIG Fund under the Pag-IBIG Overseas Program. As a dual Citizenship holder, you are definitely eligible to be a member.
I still maintain that using a bank would be easier and simpler on your part.
Faith:
You have been a member for quite a long time already… more than 24 months. You are definitely eligible for a Housing Loan. Please make sure that you are an active member before you apply for a loan. And as for the Statement of your contributions, you can ask for it at any Pag-IBIG Office.

I settled in UK and i stop my contribution, lately i verified my contribution in your main office(by email) and found out that i only contributed 21 months.Becasue i am interested of applying a housing loan and continue my investment, i start paying with a maximum contribution until the end of this year 2011.Am i qualified for a housing loan eventhought i didn’t reach the maximum 24 months of contributions? but i already paid in advance to cover the 3 remaining months. Thank you and more power…

hi there,
my monthly salary was deducted for pagibig fund without any proof that i was indeed a member when i was working in Manila for several years. i am now an ofw and POP member (with card/passbook) and contributed for a while. i’m just wondering if my contribution in Manila can be merged with my present POP. thanks

Barry:
That depends on the kind of transcation. An SPA is normally required
in sensitive transactions (example where you need to sign something) where it is important that you assign a repesentative
in your absence.
Joseph:
Sorry, but the online facility is not yet working at the moment. YOu really have to check it at the office of Pag-IBIG.
Sugar:
That is probably a rule of Pag-IBIG that the developer is trying to conveyt to you. You need to clarify this with Pag-IBIG because I don’t quite understand what you are saying. Anyway, please have your representative coordinate with the developer and Pag-IBIG.
Mhel:
First, you have to make sure that your separation is legal otherwise
you will have a problem when applying for the loan or tranfering the title to your name.
Brian:
To reactivate your membership, you simply continue your contributions.
Val:
Having paid 24 months and being active for 24 months is the minimum requirement now. If you want you can simply wait for a couple for months.
Joseph B.:
You are correct in any case. YOur sister can either have her friend assume the loan or just sell it for cash.
Pag-IBIG will only be after the amount that you pay and that it must not be less than the current balance of the loan.
As for the documents, please refer to the Document Requirements Article if it the loan is to be assumed. For cash, only the identification documents will be important.
Honey:
Please proceed to the nearest Pag-IBIG office near you.
Precioso V:
Please read on the other related articles or search this website for the answers.
Judyjane:
Basically, What you are saying is you will be assuming the former owner’s loan. Yes, you have to pay them their asking amount and then pay
whatever balance in Pag-IBIG.
Mon:
You need to check it at the office of Pag-IBIG. Please insist that you want them merged.
sunshine says

hi! if rights lang ang meron ako. pwede po ba ako mag avail ng housing loan? thanks.
Jedz says
Hi, My brother have an existing housing loan and his savings on Pagibig Overseas Program will be reaching its 5th year this coming September 2011. He wants to know if he will be allowed to withdraw it.
He’s planning on making some improvements on his house and wants to use the said savings for the cost of its construction.
I’ve already had a conversation with your office representative in Makati, and they said that the withdrawal will not be possible because of his existing housing loan. My brother by the way is on a 20 year housing loan term, and that the savings can only be withdrawn upon full payment of the housing loan.
Now these are my questions:
Why is that the Pagibig Overseas Program savings is bounded by the housing loan?. Was it supposed to be a separate entity? because of the fact that you are paying for it individually and apart from paying the housing loan principal, insurances, etc etc., as part of the monthly amortization?
And what’s the use of having a savings maturity of 5, 10, 15, and 20 years when you can’t withdraw your own savings because of the existing housing loan?
Is there an existing law or agreement in Pagibig Oveseas Program upon entering membership that prevents to withdraw your savings if you have an existing housing loan?
Sa madaling salita po, paano po namin magagamit ang naipong pera kung hindi kami pahihintulutan na makuha dahil lang dyan sa kasalukuyang housing loan.
It is very unfortunate for the POP members who has an existing housing loan not to enjoy the money they’ve worked hard for just because of that binding agreement or whatever you want to call it.
Maraming salamat po.
Jedz says
Follow up lang po sa last comment ko.
In my understanding, ang POP savings ay hindi po inutang sa Pagibig ito po ay inipon na sariling pera, sa makatuwid ang housing loan po ay iba sa POP savings although integrated sya sa monthly amortization.
Paki liwanag lang po kung ito po ay valid at legal sa mga kinauukulan dyan sa pagibig na kung bakit hindi po ito pwede makuha kahit umabot na ang minimum maturity dahil lamang sa existing housing loan.
Sa pagkaka alam ko wala pong anumang kontrata na pinirmahan ang isang myembro ng POP na nagsasabi na ang pag babawal sa pag wihtdraw ng savings pag may existing loan.
Maraming salamat po ulit.

I have been a member of PAG-IBIG in my first 2 years of working in the Philippines(2006-2008), yung next company I was employed did not apply us for Pag-ibig and SSS so hindi na nahulugan yung account namin. Then I worked overseas, but I am very interested for a loan para sa “Lot Only” category, what steps should I do.
Please reply as I only have a week in the Philippines if ever I need to fix some documents.
Thanks.

dear pag ibig,gusto ko sana mag loan ng pag ibig.wla po ako noong req.1and 5.ano po ipplit ko noon,?may busns ako dito sa taiwan pero iyong bsnss permit nka name sa asawa ko?paano yan ?
admin says
@sunshine: Be very careful with this kind of transaction. The best thing is to execute a Waiver of Rights and then get an assistant of a Lawyer or Pag-IBIG staff.
@Marissa: Please do it once you are back in the Philippines.
@Ji: No
@Jedz: Please understand that this is something unique with Pag-IBIG and it is actually laid down with complete legalities. You may not be aware of this, but it’s legal. Fair or unfair, you have to deal with it once you become a member.
And one more thing, the other reason why the contributions can’t be withdrawn while you have an outstanding loan is so that Pag-IBIG can take it when you default on your loan.
@Mylene: First things first: You need to reactivate your account. Then secondly, you may want to attend the Pag-IBIG Housing LOan Orientation once you are here in the country.
Winnie Alolor says
Good Day!
I just have a question… I was with my previous employer wayback in the Philippines for 6 yrs and decided to get a Housing Loan from Pagibig and was approved for Php 750k, the amount of the House and Lot is Php 800k. My developer asked me to pay the deposit for Php50k for 12 months which I already did and finished paying last Sept 2009. Before ako pumunta ng Dubai I tried to finish my papers for the turnover of PAGIBIG, sabi ng developer ko I will still need to pay my monthly amortization thru them for 2 yrs and they will turn it over to PAGIBIG. Dun na nagstart yung problem… after resigning from my previous work in the Philippines and started working here in Dubai tinawagan ako ng sister ko telling me na may problem sa documents ko sa PAGIBIG, hindi ko tuloy alam kung kailangan ko mag-apply ng bagong housing loan application, how about my contribution from my previous employer which was 6 years….mababalewala na ba yun? up to now I am still paying my house developer pero hindi pa rin napupunta sa PAGIBIG yung binabayad ko…. I am trying to contact PAGIBIG office dito sa Dubai pero deadline lang, I’m not sure kung nag-iba ng number…. Please help me…..
jhoa rivera says
Hi!
I have an existing housing loan that started last September 2009 for 5 years. Last August 2010, I received a statement from Pag-ibig saying that I haven’t paid my July 2010 MA but as I checked my Planter’s Bank, said MA was deducted. Since I was abroad that time, nothing was done to clarify this thing to Pag-ibig. How will I solve this problem. Alam ko that penalty will still continue. To what department of Pag-ibig should I go.
Thanks po sa immediate reply

Sherley says
Before I moved to USA and became a permanent resident, I am a PAG-IBIG member so how can I apply for POP and process a loan for a condo unit that I started paying the downpayment when I was still back home?
Sherley says
Also, with Pag-ibig loan processing, if I don’t have a bank account back home anymore what will be the alternative?…when I was still paying for my downpayment I used Xoom.com to remit money.
Edgar says
Hi!
I am presently employed here in the Philippines and an active member of Pag-Ibig. I have an outstanding short term loan balance which the monthly amortization will end in 2013. However, I am planning to work abroad and probably leaving before this year ends. Can I still be a member and continue remitting my contribution and amortization even when I am already abroad? How?

ofelia dela cruz says
In the past, you can apply for a loan even if it is your first time to contribute to the Pag-IBIG Fund by simply paying a one-time payment equivalent to 24 monthly contributions. The rules have already changed. Effective July 1, 2010, this is not allowed any more you have to be at least a paying member for at least 24 months — no one-time payment.
Hi,does this also apply for ofw’s, because i was about to apply for loan this month,i made my 24 months contribution last year and updated it this month amd pay the contribution up to december 2011and after completing all the docs they’ve requested..they just said that i can’t apply for loan , sa august pa daw ako pwede magloan..can u pls. explain this to me..thank you verymuch.

(3)3M ang target namin i loan, and that is 1500 contribution per month for 2 years, my question is what are things to be considered before Pag-IBIG will grant or approve my loan ?
(4)kailangan ba completuhin ang 2 years na contribution bago mag loan ?
(5)may penalty ba ang bawat buwan na di makahulog ?
(6)2008 nagbayad kami ng 500 for only 1 month…gusto namin ituloy at itaas sa 1500 per month, ano ang gagawin namin ?

Good Day,
What are the requirements for availing pag ibig housing loan?
Currently working as OFW., i am a member of pag ibig and has 32 months share from my previous work..
Thanks and God bless..
Warm Regards,

admin says
@peaceonearth:
1. You can’t pay anymore for the missed contributions and you should start anew.
2. YOu have to request for the records of your husband from any Pag-IBIG branch. Take note of his Member ID Number.
3. Two of the most important things are the member’s income and his capacity to pay.
4. Yes.
5. Yes it a loan and not a free money so any missed payment has a penalty.
6. You can simply upgrade to a bigger amount.
YOur employer can take care of that one.
@Winnie:
Good question. Have you tried asking your sister what’s the real problem is with your Pag-IBIG Account? Rest assured, your contributions will remain intact. I suppose you have attended the Housing Loan Seminar prior to getting that house.
@Jhoa:
This case happens sometimes due to the unsynchronized systems of Pag-IBIG. You can visit any office and tell them about your case and you should be directed to the concerned department.
@zhang:
Since you are away from the country, you can have someone verify it at the office of Pag-IBIG FUnd.
@Elsie:
Please do a follow-up at the branch where you applied for the Pag-IBIG housing loan.
@Sherley:
In your case, I would suggest that you use a mortgage loan from a bank instead of Pag-IBIG.
@Edgar:
Absolutely. It would be in your favor if you do it and make sure you do everything right before leaving the country to work abroad.
@Joanah:
Yes sure.
@fei:
Yes, that’s possible. I would suggest that you visit the Pag-IBIG Fund office near your place for the requirements.
@roman:
YOu need to re-activate your membership before you can apply for a loan.
@joann:
Yes, just visit any Pag-IBIG office to inquire about the process.
@bernardo:
Yes, possible. Please refer to the article on Pag-IBIG Home Loan Process.
@ofelia:
Yes it applies to everyone. But please try to do it. You may get the chance.
@zajarra:
Please coordinate with your developer.
@edgar:
YOu need to re-activate your membership.
@ronald:
Please try it at your branch. Some branch will allow you to get a loan by paying a lumpsum of 24 months one time.
@Alex:
Please use the Search Box below to check for the housing loan requirements.
kikay says
hi sir/madam good day…sir im a new member of pag ibig.the representative here in israel told us that if we complete the 24 months contribution until december this year i can avail a loan 3 million by nxt year.is it true?my contribution is the highest contribution…looking forward for the answer.tnx and more power.
kits says
good day!
i’m a Pag-Ibig member since last year (february,2010)and what i got since then is a temporary membership number (POP). The Pag-Ibig representative in my place told me that we have to wait for the MID/membership card number. When do you think they will finally give us that number?
another thing: I visited your website and curiously opened my account through my POP number. I was surprised because it is not updated. It only reflects 3 months contributions out of 13 monthly regular deposits i made. Again, i talked to the reprensentative and she told that they don’t no longer update any transactions nor issue a Pag-Ibig bankbook. Of course, I do have with me all the receipts of my deposits. But could you please tell me how often they update one’s personal transactions and how can i have mine updated?
admin says
@kikay:
Please refer to this article for your maximum loan amount versus your income.
@kits:
Yes, they don’t update it that much. So it’s best if you personally request for your list of contributions from any Pag-IBIG Office.
kits says
Can i request it online or do i need to go to any Pag-Ibig office? In Spain there is no office of Pag-Ibig though there is a representative (but she told me that she can not do nothing regarding this matter).
peaceonearth says
pumunta ako s PAG IBIG, sabi ko magbabayad ako s husband ko OFW, member na ng PAG IBIG…ang binigay sa akin na form is MEMBERSHIP CONTRIBUTIONS REMITTANCE FORM (MCRF)…inuwi ko yun form para itanung ko s husband ko, yun mga details sa form na binigay sa akin, pina scan ko pa. sabi sa akin sa PAG IBIG di tatangapin yun pera ko kung di ko na fill up yun form…san ko makukuha ang Employer HDMF ID No., di nman alam ng husband ko yun Employer SSS no. tama ba itong form na binigay sa akin ? nakalagay pa sa form NAME OF EMPLOYEES…di ko din alam, kasi first time ko magbabayad…di nman ako nagkulang sa mga details ko about my Husband…is this the right form ? thanks
admin says
@kits:
The online facility of Pag-IBIG is not yet fully functional so it’s best if you can send a representative here in the Philippines and you the transactions on your behalf.
@peaceonearth:
I think that’s the right form. You may want to send the form to your husband so he can fill up the form fields he knows about. Then also, please ask the assistance of Pag-IBIG staff when you go to the office.

Hi,
First of all, i want to commend you and your team for such an interactive info board. I visited your website because i have a lot of questions, but reading through all these, i have 1 question left.
I am an ofw and previously an active pagibig member. Now i wanted to reactivate my membership but i dont have my accnt no., where can i get this info? Once i have this, can i just simply pay from any accredited centers?
Thanks.
janet says
Dear Admin,
Good Day!
I just wanna ask how can i reactivate my account no. to pag ibig the last payment i made to them last 2009 and i cant recall now my account no. I am working now here in dubai and i want to reactivate my account. What are the procedures? Ive been calling the pagibig center here but no one is answering the call.
Please do the needfull reply.
Many Thanks
Nilda says
I just join the Pag-Ibig Overseas Program. Sent the membership forms and other requirements. Now What? Do I get an account number? I want the account number so I can send my monthly fee. Thanks.
admin says
@Femara:
Thanks for your feedback. You may want to request from any Pag-IBIG Office a list of all your previous contributions. It may take about a week or so to give you the result. Once you have it, it should also reflect your Membership Number. YOu can then pay from any accredited collection agent.
@Jonard:
There is a formula to be used for that. Unfortunately, I can’t explain the details here. Maybe I’ll write another article for that.
About the Car Loan, no, Pag-IBIG doesn’t allow that.
@Nilda:
Yes, you should have your Membership ID Number.
Nilda says
How soon can I get the membership ID? Do they send it by mail or email? Thanks.
IVER says
Hello Admin.. Ask ko lang po may nabili po kmng house and lot ng kaibigan q. Bali sa amin dalawa ipapangalan ang tiitle. Pag-ibig member po kme pareho at parehong nag aabroad. Gusto po sana namin ipasok sa housing loan ng PAG-IBIG..Pano po ba ang pag aaply nito kung dalawa po ang ipapangalan nmen sa title. Kailang po ba kme ren dalawa mag apply or ok lng po isa lang sa amen.. Pano kung hindi n po ako active sa PAG-IBIG constribution ok lang po bang ang kaibigan ko lang ang mag-apply ng loan? Salamat sana ma answer nyo po :] God Bless…
admin says
@Iver:
Pag-IBIG allows two or more members to tuck-in under one loan if they are close relatives, like brothers, mother-daughter, etc. The best thing to do in your case is to apply for a loan separately to get a property that is adjacent to each other; that way, you are still neighbors. 🙂 Just a thought.
@Nilda:
Please follow-up at the office where you submitted your documents.
peterno cantila says
good day!im an active member of pag-ibig for more than 3 years.i just wanna ask how to avail in pag-ibig alternative loan (lot purchase only).
Ellen Valdez says
Sir/Madam: I failed to pay my monthly amortization since January 2011. Last April 2011, I went to our regional pag-ibig office, to pay my monthly amortization partially, to lessen the accumulation of the monthly interest, however, the Pag-ibig in-charge requires us to pay in full amount. May I ask why can’t we pay the amortization partially for as long as we pay more than 50% of the total amortization. Please kindly clarify me in this matter. Thank you.
daina says
pag nag lump sum po ba ng 24 month ibig sabihi po ba makapag avail na po ba ako ng housing agad? help lng po ty.
admin says
@peterno:
Getting a loan for a loan to purchase a lot-only property is still considered the same process as a loan for house-and-lot unit using the Pag-IBIG Housing Loan.
@Ellen:
Once you failed to pay more than 3 months, your account actually a candidate for foreclosure. The whole amount then becomes due. Please try to see if you can negotiate with them.
@daina:
You still have to be evaluated if you would qualify for a housing loan.

@Raychel:
There are branches of Pag-IBIG that allows you to pay for the 24 months. But you may have to wait another 12 months for you to avail of the housing loan.
@zahra:
Yes, provided he becomes an active member again.
@ryan:
Yes, you are still a member, but your status is inactive. To reactivate, you only have to contribute anew.
@menchie:
Yes, that’s possible. I would suggest that you issue a set of PDC good for one year or good for 5 years. Another way is
you can arrange it with your bank if they are accredited to accept payments for Pag-IBIG.
@ferdinand:
Sorry, but there is no office there in Korea at the moment.
@stephen:
That may pose some problem later. Better check with the Pag-IBIG Office near you to assess the place. Generally, this is not allowed.
@Roger:
My suggestion is for you to apply for membership once you are back here in the Philippines.
@dindo:
Sorry, but you are not allowed anymore. Pag-IBIG will still be able to track your history of non payments.
@suzette:
Please attend a loan counselling session to check if you are already qualified.
@shella:
Yes, but you may have to get the consent of your brother to do that.
@cris:
YOu may be qualified for a loan. Please attend a loan counselling session if you have the chance.

Please send me more info on how to reactivate my membership so I go on with my future plans and of course with your guidance and help….godbless!!!!
hayde says
Hi Admin, Just want to ask if Pagibig II is allowed for us OFW. I am not yet a member of Pagibig but i am planning to become a member. Thank you.
admin says
@hayde:
Yes, it is open to Filipino who are members of the Pag-IBIG FUnd.
@jefrox:
Please check this link for the Pag-IBIG branch in California:
https://www.pagibigfinancing.com/articles/2010/pag-ibig-overseas-program-international-directory/
YOu may want to phone them first.
@lyzel:
There’s a dead-end in your case since the seller wants to deal with a cash buyer.
@elmer:
No.
lyzel says
hello Admin,,,thanx for your quick responce,,what do you mean???it can’t be possible??what will i do??please,,thank you
admin says
@lyzel:
You may want to find another property or negotiate with the seller that you want to use Pag-IBIG Financing to purchase the property.

admin says
@Brian:
First, you need to re-activate your membership by making new contributions. Please refer to this article for the requirements:
https://www.pagibigfinancing.com/articles/2010/pag-ibig-housing-loan-requirements/
@danny:
No, you should be able to shoulder that equity payment.
@jannette:
Please check that one with the Pag-IBIG Branch.
@Ely:
YOu can use Bank Financing instead.
@reggie:
YOu have to go here in the Philippines. Please check this for the requirements:

rose says
greetings! first of all, i would like to say “kudos!” to the people/person (admin) for giving us and answering our questions patiently regarding essential and important information on pag-ibig fund. thank you for the job well done!
i would like to inquire about my status as an inactive member. i was employed way back 2001 until 2007 in some private companies in the philippines and had made some contributions. however, i stopped paying my contributions when i became an ofw in 2007 up to the present. here are some of my questions:
1. if i’ll reactivate my status/account, do i need to apply/register a new one (that’s pop, i think)?
2. i lost my id number, and i know, somebody from the office can trace it. is it possible to transfer my funds from the previous contributions to my new account?
3. how much is the monthly contribution under pop?
4. after filling-up the form, is it possible if my representative will be the one to process my membership? do i need an spa for her/him?
thank you very much, admin, for the favorable response. more power!
rosemarie says
tanong ko lng po kung paano kung nakapag housing loan na kmi dati siguro po 2001 pa yun nakahulog na po ng ilan months tapos po di na po namin natuloy pina surrender na po ng mister ko dun sa nag process ng housingloan namin..balak po namin mag housing loan uli ngayon ng isang foreclosed na bahay maaprubahan po kaya kami uli?thanks po in advance
admin says
@rose:
Thanks for the compliments. 😉 Quick reply here:
1. You only have to pay new contributions and that’s it. Please be informed that there is no more POP. Under the new Law, what used to
be called POP is now simply merged with the regular Pag-IBIG membership or the Pag-IBIG I.
2. The best approach to this problem would be to request a copy of your past contributions. The report should reflect your Pag-IBIG ID Number.
3. Again, no more POP. The regular contribution is 200.
4. You can simply have them pay it at the office, no need of an SPA. But make your you have your Official Receipt.
@rosemarie:
You mean the property was foreclosed? In that case, Pag-IBIG will not grant you any more loan in the future.
Riza says
Hi, I’m an OFW in singapore at updated ako sa pagbayad sa membership contribution ko dito sa SG. Tanong ko lang sana if automatic naba akong Member sa Pagibig Overseas Program kong ganon. I don’t have complete idea about POP. Do I need to apply for separate membership for this?
Rollie Lim says
Hi!..I’m an ofw din, as i read a comment above may nabanggit po kayo na wala nang POP which is contrary sa sinabi ng PAG-IBIG office dito sa Gensan na pinakuha sa akin since mandatory na ngayon ang pagbayad ng Pag-ibig sa pagkuha ng OEC. Secondly, ask ko rin kung pwede po bang e-merge yung dating Pag-ibig remittance ko (as am employed here way back 2003-2006)and kaka-activate ko lang din nitong taon na to.
Hope to have clearer answer.
Thanks
admin says
@Rollie:
A very quick reply for you. That was not POP at all, but a regular Pag-IBIG Membership ( also known as Pag-IBIG I ) that they were forcing you to pay. Remember that POP is optional, while Pag-IBIG I is now mandatory for all OFWs.
@Riza: Please read the comment above @Rollie. Please verify what kind of contribution was that you were paying there in Singapore.

hi admin,
tanong ko lang sana, kaka take out lang kasi ng bahay namin last july 2011, at meron nga kaming 12 months na pdc sa pag-ibig malolos branch, can we immediately change that into cash basis, medyo kasi alanganin yung date ng bayad namin at ayaw naman naming magkaroon ng bouncing check. please need your advise..
admin says
@aunzo901:
Yes, you can pay it over the counter if you choose.
@rheen:
Please take note that there are a lot of factors to be considered before you will be granted a housing loan. And Pag-IBIG doesn’t give a guarantee that your application will also be approved.
@gretch:
Yes, you will still be required to be a member of the Fund.
Hilbrecht says
Maam,
Ask lang po Iam currently working abroad, but noon nakapagwork din ako locally for more than 3years. Within that 3years local work may deduction din kami sa pagibig nun. Ang tanung ko po di pa po ba pwede na ma inlcude yung dati kong contribution at maidagdag sa bago kong contribution?sa mindanao ako nagwork noon and now as an OFW nagbayad ako ng contribution ko personally sa pagibig tacloban branch. Gusto ko pong magloan para sa upcoming bahay ko kaso sabi ng taga tacloban di pa raw ako eligible dahil wala pa po akong 24months na nagcontribute samantalang nakapagcontribute na po ako for more than 5years na iba ibang location lang po ng pagibig ako nakabayad due to work circumstances.Any suggestions and advise will be highly appreciated.
Maraming salamat po

Good day!
I was born in the Philippines but is now a naturalized America citizen living in the US. My family and I are planning on migrating back to the Philippines in a few years and are hoping to buy a home there sometime next year in preparation for the big move. We do not have enough money to buy a property spot cash so were hoping to get the property through a PAG-IBI housing loan; I am not a PAG-IBIG (POP or otherwise)member yet.
The firts and foremost questions is, considering my citizenship/nationality status, would I qualify for membership into POP.
The 2nd questions is, I understand that there is a minimum 24months contribution before a member can apply for a loan, do you allow the 24month total to be paid lump sum to avail of the housing loan benefit faster? I have read several conflicting reports on this and was hoping for some clarification.
Thanks much and have a great day!
admin says
@L:
Former Filipinos are definitely allowed to own a piece of land in the country, with some limitations. Please understand that Pag-IBIG is not your only solution if you are buying on installment basis. If I may suggest, you should consider bank financing too. That way, you will not anymore go through the hassle of joining the Pag-IBIG as members.
And you are right about the conflicting reports, because there are branches of Pag-IBIG in which the rule is not strictly implemented. But in general, paying for 24 months equivalent to get a loan immediately is not allowed anymore.
@Toto:
Please refer to the reply above on @L about the 24 months payment.
You should apply here at the Pag-IBIG branch that covers the property.
@Hilbert:
You may request the Pag-IBIG to consolidate all of your contributions. That’s the very first step.
maria kenneth samson says

sandra bongcayao says
hi po admin,
Binigyan npo ako ng TRN nang PAG-IBIG, mag activate lang po ito kung mabayaran ko ang contributions ko uli pra activated. At sabi nila ma add on daw ung contributions ko sa previous. Tanong ko admin, pwede ko bang bayaran ang 24 months pra maka avail ako nang salary or housing loan? if pwede po saan ako mag sisimula 2010-2011 or 2011-2012? nasa doha qatar ako, pag dito ko binayaran ilang days ang posting sa pinas?
salamat po admin
sandra bongcayao says
admin. follow up question ko lang, if na consolidate na yung contributions ko sa previous employers ko, at nabayaran ko ung 24 months, pwede na bang maka avail ng MPL agad? or kailangan ko pang mag antay until 2 yrs. pra makag pag loan.
admin says
@sandra:
Please take note that you can’t pay any missed contributions anymore. YOu can only pay the current and the future ones. As to the MPL Loan, you may have to wait for a couple of months to be able to apply, but it depends on some factors also. Please inquire about this at the counter or person incharge when you pay.
@darwin:
If you are actively contributing and you have a source of income, the answer is yes.
@maria:
It’s important that you show them your documented source of income.

good day mam/sir dati po akong member ng pag-ibig i think 1993-1998 this yrs.all my former company deducted me for pag-ibg fund contribution pero nahinto na kasi po d2 na ko sa saudi ako nag-work.active pa po ba ang membership ko sa pag-ibig.thanks
lyn says
Good day to you.
Ask ko lang po about my case. I had a housing loan which was cancelled 2 months ago from the pag-ibig, Makakapag loan pa po ba ulit ako after my previous housing loan?
Anu anu po ang mga kakailanganin ko gawin to apply another loan.
admin says
@lyn:
What do you mean by being cancelled? Were you granted or not? If not yet, then you can try again next time.
@elmer:
Being active means you are currently paying your membership dues. Surely enough, all your past contributions can still be claimed when it reaches maturity. But you can re-active anytime to enjoy the benefits of your Pag-IBIG Membership.
@angel:
Please read the reply to @elmer above. You have a similar case.
@alvase:
Yes, it may be transferred. But it could be a very complicated process. It’s better to leave it that way.

Hello,

good evening admin. im filipino resident in canada for 2 years now but still a filipino citizen, can i still avail the overseas program? how about holding a dual citizen as filipino and canadian? salamat po. 🙂

@iris:
As a Filipino or former Filipino, you are still allowed to own a property here in the Philippines. And yes, you can be a member of the Pag-IBIG Fund.
@Alexis:
Please coordinate that one with the developer. There are documents required from them also for your loan to be approved.
cristina says
good day! the original buyer of the housing loan that i bought died. me,as a second buyer cannot get the title of the house because the beneficiaries of the first buyer is after the house, I have deed of sale to prove that I have now the right of the house which of course they know because as one of the beneficiary is also the witness when they sell the house to me,they don’t cooperate because they want me to pay them, your office advised that I have to compromised with them, I am willing but I just want to ask if how much is the right/fair amount that I should give to them because they are asking 200k, isn’t it too much? because the principal amount of the house is 500k. and besides I don’t have 200k to give them cash. what can you suggest? please if possible can you ccd your reply to my email address? thank you.
Mitch says
Hello Admin:
my husband is an OFW for almost 2 years now based in Qatar. for that time his pag-ibig membership stop. we would like to continue the contribution for the purpose of getting a housing loan in the future. Question:
1. can he make the payments abroad? or much easier if i do it here in PH?
2. we are in the process of acquiring a lot property now, is it better to put it in his name rather than both of us?
3. follow on Q 2, i have an existing pag-ibig housing loan, under my single name, we are not up to date with the payment of that said loan. would that affect our housing loan in the future even though my husband applies for it? can i serve as a co- borrower?
4. or can he make his brother’s and sister as co-borrower rather than me who has an outstanding housing loan under my single name?
thanks so much and god bless, -mitch

Overseas Filipino Workers (reactivating members)
hi admin
can help me about this requirement for Overseas Filipino Workers (reactivating members)
-Latest Contract of Employment
-Passport or any valid ID / POEA License
-Latest and valid Contract of Employment (with POEA original stamp)??? where can i get the poea stamp? here in the embassy of the philippines in canada?
-Certificate of Remittance or ESAV??? (is this one can be the receipt of my remittances which im sending every month? what do you mean by esav?)
-Two 1×1 ID pictures
-Special Power of Attorney (SPA), in case a representative shall submit the -documents and pay the member’s contributions??? (for example i’m in canada now? must get one from attorney here?)
thank you.:)
cris says
admin please be noted yung reactivate ko po sana is yung pagibig1 ko po sa pinas.. kasi by next year i was planning to avail the housing loan through my pagibig1.. is it ok?kasi lagpas npo 4years contribution ko dun… instead of waiting some more months sa pop ko.eh yung pop ko po ay 3months plang ang na contribute ko. whats the best way po kaya? thank you again.
admin says
@cris:
I’m not sure what kind of help you are asking. But if you want to know which one to contribute between POP and Pag-IBIG 1 (the regular membership), I would say, you should take care and prioritized
the Pag-IBIG I. I think you are on the right direction already. Good luck!
@Mitch:
1. It’s easier if you just do it here in the Philippines. Please read the article, 5 Ways To Pay The Pag-IBIG Fund.
2. Normally, you will be asked who the principal buyer is. Please put the one who has the capacity to pay, or enough source of income.
3. You are not allowed to be a co-borrower since you have an existing home loan. Please settle that before Pag-IBIG discovers the problems with your payments.
4. It’s okay for him to get his brother.
@cristina:
That’s indeed very problematic. All you can do really is to negotiate with them. I have no idea of the property you are dealing with so I can’t give you an approximate fair market value.
may says
good day po!
i am already a member of POP. ngayon po na mandatory na yung contribution for every OFW (Pag Ibig I), here are my questions:
1. do i still need to complete a new MDF?
2. do i still need to separately pay for my POP or ime-merge po ba yun sa bagong membership? i heard na 200 per month po yung contribution, pwede po ba bayaran na for 1 year kaagad? para po hindi na pabalik pabalik sa pag ibig office to pay.
3. should i decide to withdraw my savings po under POP, what documents do i need to present and how long is the process?
thank you.
admin says
@may:
1. If you are already a member in the past, there is no need to do that.
2. The two programs are separate. And yes, you can pay in advance for the entire 1 year worth of contributions.
3. I’m not sure about the documents that will be required for that, but please check this article:
https://www.pagibigfinancing.com/articles/2010/your-money-in-pag-ibig-fund/
However, that may not be your immediate concern, right? The requirement could change in the future.

hi admin,
i would like to avail a housing loan in Davao City, as of now i’m currently working in manila. I don’t have the time to visit davao. can i process the requirements here in manila or can i send somebody to Davao to do it for me?. Thanks
admin says
@Rowena:
If you are buying in Davao, you should apply in Davao. Since you are out of town, it’s best if you can send a representative work on your behalf.
@grace:
There is a maturity date to claim your savings. That’s 10 years minimum.
@flor:
I believe this is still being handled by the developer. Please ask for the assistance of the developer.

hello po, ask ko po kasi ung last contribution ko po is last 2yrs pa and then naghulog po ako ng contribution ng oct,nov,dec dis yr 2011.ng tig 1,000 per mos eh dati po mababa lang ang contribution ko 200 lang per mos,so panu ko po malalaman na malaki makuha ko pra s housing loan?
thanks
admin says
@omroe:
This one is possible for you: You can loan as much as P 3M. So it’s up to you how much to pay as equity and how much to finance using Pag-IBIG Housing Loan.
But take note, Pag-IBIG will also be assessing the value of the property and the loan amount will also be based on that.
@marie:
First, please be informed that the Housing Loan and other benefits are only open to Pag IBIG members. For an overview on how to apply for the Home Loan Program, please follow the link below.

Hi Admin, good day. I am an OFW here in Dammam, is it possible for you to provide me list of contacts or real estates that I can negotiate with, for me to check or further if I can buy a property thru Pag-ibig. thanks!
KATHRINA DAWN NEGRILLO says
good pm.
MY MOTHER IS AN OFW SINCE 2000 SIN SAUDI ARABIA. SHE WANTS TO BUY/LOAN A HOUSE. BUT UNFORTUNATELY SHE ONLY PAID 2 MONTHS CONTRIBUTION AND THAT WAS FEW YARS AGO SINCE THE START OF HER EMPLOYMENT IN SAUDI ARABIA AND DON’T HAVE TIME TO PAY EVERY MONTHS IN PAG IBIG OFFICE IN SAUDI.
HOW CAN SHE AVAIL FOR THE HOUSING LOAN? IS SHE HAS ONLY P200K FOR DOWNPAYMET?
CAN HER MEMBERSHIP WILL BE REACTIVATE IF SHE WAS INACTIVE MORE THAN 5 YEARS WITHOUT MONTHLY CONTRIBUTION?
OR CAN SHE TRANSFER HER MEMBERSHIP TO ME AS HER DAUGHTER SINCE IM HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES?
REGARDING THE LOAN MATTER: CAN SHE BUY IT FULL CASH EVEN IF SHE HAS ONLY 2 MONTHS CONTRIBUTION??

Hi,
I am interested to buy properties for sale seen in Pag-ibig website. What are the steps that i need to do? i am a POP member & i plan to apply for a loan in order to buy this properties. Approximately how long is the processing of the loan upon submitting all the requirements.

admin says
@hazel:
Yes you can do that in behalf of your husband.
@gary:
Please check the agents or reale estate brokers in the areas you are interested with.
@Kathrina:
The best thing you can do is help her pay it buy having your as her representative. She has to reactivate her account if she is to avail of the housing loan.
@mercy:
Please check this link for the document requirements:
https://www.pagibigfinancing.com/articles/2010/pag-ibig-housing-loan-requirements/
@Pinky:
Loan Processing will take from 2 weeks to 2 months.

Hi, I was a pag-ibig member for more than 10 years when I was in PNP , I moved to US as a nurse and right now am contemplating on investing a property or start a business in my hometown Davao City.. I was wondering if I can still my previous membership or do I have to start all over again? As far as I can remember I have no pending loans with pag-ibig whatsoever? Thanks
MARY JANE says
hi sir.
greetings..
im an OFW working in dubai as a sales executive. i just want to ask about the multi purpose loan if untill how much amount you can give to me if i will pay the maximum range of membership.??
please give me your best advise.
carmela joy cobero says
i was a pagibig member before i came here in riyadh 9yrs ago but i was not able to continue my contribution since then. i came here year 2002. as far as i can remember i made a salary loan before. im trying to check my pagibig# but it was not found. in case i will reactivate my ID# again, my previous contribution will still be included?what will happen to my previous loan?and how can i reactivate my membership?thanks and hope to receive a reply soon.
carmela joy cobero says
hi again!i almost forget.im an active member of pagibig for almost 6years before coming here in KSA.more than reactivating my membership,i also wanted to upgrade my contribution so i can avail my dreamhouse thru pagibig housing loan. is it possible to pay the 24months contribution in one time?
admin says
@lyn and @jhe:
Sure you can.
@rolan:
A Personal Loan with Pag-IBIG falls under the Multi-Purpose Loan program. Here’s a good article for that:
https://www.pagibigfinancing.com/articles/2010/the-pag-ibig-multi-purpose-loan/
@Lynneth:
YOu only need to reactivate your membership and that’s it. You can start applying for a home loan.
@MaryJane:
I’m not sure what best advice you are asking for. But if you want to know about the MPL Loan Amount, please refer to this article:

Pinky says
Hi po, i’m interested to purchase HDMF accuired properties and i’m living abroad. i will ask my brother to apply on my behalf which SPA po ang e submit ko from your website? SPA TCT or SPA Housing Loan Application? what is the difference between the two? then if i am interested po for more than 1 property should i submit 1 HDMF application for each property?
TY
admin says
@Pinky:
It’s both. The first will be used in transferring the land title in your favor. And yes, it’s going to be 1 application for each property, but you will only be granted one home loan at a time. Though, you can always pay in spot cash.
@angelito:
Please do that once you are back here in the Philippines.
Jeff O. says
magandang araw po Admin,ask ko lang po…5 years na po akong member and nakapag 2nd MPL na po ako,hindi pa po nababayaran ang aking 2nd loan ng ako ay makapag abroad at natigil ang aking monthly contribution,almost 2 yirs na po akong inactive sa ngayon..gusto ko sana ituloy ang aking contribution with the program POP and avail an Housing loan..pinatanong ko sa asawa ko kung magkano ang balance ko,and ang sabi eh P10,500 daw ang kailangan para hindi ma offset and ang deadline ay sa March,kung maooff-set po ba eh pwede magpa member ulit,and hindi na po ba pwede yung advance 24 months para sa new member and mag avail ng housing loan?
more power po and God bless.
Pinky says
Hi,
Just a follow up questions lang po. If I will take longer term for example 20 or 25 years to pay and I decided to pay off the full amount before 20 yrs which is the end of the term, is there a penalty for doing that? Also, for example my monthly payment is 10 thousand but can I pay more than 10 thousand in some months or i have to stick with the exact monthly payment?
TY
Narissa says
hello Admin, gusto ko pong mag apply ng POP savings investment. I’m a pag-ibig member noong nandiyan pa ako sa Pinas, pero na stop po yung monthly payments ko after I migrated .to another country. Is there any way I could apply the POP program online and pay it online also? Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Ma.Victoria Barbono says
hello,,Ako po ay nurse dito sa canada at gusto ko po sanang mag patayo ng bahay sa nabili kong lote sa laguna bel-air.7 milyon po kasi ang minimum na bahay doon. Member po ako ng pag ibig for more than 10 years kaya lang ay natigil .Pag umuuwi po ako ay saka ko lang nahuhulugan ..Mapautang po kaya ako ng 7 to 8 milyon? Pwede ko pong i collateral yung lot na nabili ko doon sa laguna bel air.Nasa akin na po ang title…
admin says
@MaVictoria:
Pag-IBIG can only grant up to 3M maximum loan. You may want to use a bank mortgage loan, instead.
@Carolina:
If you have been employed here in the past, there’s a good chance that you used to be a member. You have to check it at the office or branch.
@arnel:
Yes, that’s possible, but you may have to wait for a couple more months before you can apply for a home loan.
@Narissa:
It’s best to do it at the office whether it’s application or payment.
@Pinky:
Advanced payment and early loan retirement are both allowed and will not incur a penalty.
@Jeff:
Remember that when offsetting your MPL Loan payment, they still would have to use your TAV.

Hi…am Beth and a member of POP. I lost my passbook, what should I do?
Thet says
Dear Sir/Madam:
A good day to you. I visited your website and saw the list of your acquired assests. I’m interested in purchasing a property through this, however, I’m in Nova Scotia Canada, and when I checked, there’s no office here that I could inquire in and get the informations I needed. I’m not sure if I’m still a member, as it’s been about 13 years since I registered with Pag-ibig and only managed one payment at that time.
I did asked my sister to inquire about it (she was also interested in purchasing one, and she’s a member), and she’d been advised that she’ll be the one who will go and check out the place personally, which would have been fine, however when they tried locating the places, they had a very hard time doing it, even after asking people directions. They’ve been told that they have an incomplete address, hence the difficulty of locating it.
Is there a faster or better way of doing this? How does the process go? What are the requirements? How soon can we occupy the place, if ever? Can we put it through pag-ibig housing as well, once we do find a place we like?
Is there a place or office near me that I could get in touch with? Toronto is two hours away by plane and I do know that it could be my best bet of a nearest office, but maybe there’s another place or way this could be done?
Thank you so much and looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Respectfully,
Thet Fernandez

Please read this article to find out how to claim your savings:
https://www.pagibigfinancing.com/articles/2012/money-matters-pag-ibig-fund-provident-savings-and-provident-claims/
@ian:
Yes, you are now required by Pag-IBIG to become members of the Fund. I think your agency is the one who enrolled you to become a member since
they are also mandated to contribute for you.
@Reinzi:
That’s a lot of questions. 🙂
Your past contributions are still there all you have to do is to consolidate those with your current contributions.
There are factors to consider before you can apply for a housing loan. Please read this article to know more:
https://www.pagibigfinancing.com/articles/2010/the-pag-ibig-housing-loan-process/
@Ciara:
Remember this: You don’t have to convert it to POP. The two programs are different from each other and you only need the regular Pag-IBIG membership to be able to get a loan.
ian sanchez says
pero can i avail a housing loan worth 1million? 200 lang po ata hinuhulog ng agency namen eh. may way pa po b para mkaloan ng ganung amount?
CJ says
Good day po Admin.
Kasi member at naghuhulog po ako sa POP ng 3 years (2009-2011)nung OFW pa ako. Pero umuwi napo ako ng Pinas netong 2012 at pumapasok na sa isang local company. At sa kanila narin ako naghuhulog ng contribution ko (Regular Pag-IBIG)..Tanong ko lang po kung pwede ko po ma consolidate yung mga contributions ko sa POP tsaka yung regular account ko ngayon? Or kung di po pwede, pwede po ba ma withdraw yung dating contributions ko? Thank you po.
admin says
@CJ:
Please understand that the two programs are separate and different from each other, so you can’t combine them.
Yes, you can withdraw the POP only if it has already reached the maturity period.
@ian:
I think yes. Please read the link below for the income requirements.
https://www.pagibigfinancing.com/articles/2011/how-your-income-and-contributions-affect-your-housing-loan-entitlement/
CJ says
Thanks for the prompt reply Admin. The earliest maturity date would be 5 years from my membership date right? Also a follow up question; I was able to avail of a Housing Loan thru my said POP account and is now currently paying my monthly amortization without fail. Question is, if I stop my contributions to my POP account(as I’ve mentioned in my first post) and just continue with my local regular PAGIBIG, will it affect my current Housing Loan?
Thanks again…
admin says
@CJ:
I don’t think it will affect your housing loan since you will still be paying for your Pag-IBIG I membership.

Hi! a distant relative is selling his house and lot.Alam ko this was acquired thru pagibig. and they are having a tough time paying for it. which is why they are selling it. i have been a member of pagibig since 1995-1998. Can i use my this to acquire this house? paano po ba ang pag transfer ng liability with pag ibig.
appreciate your reply
ricker131
admin says
@rick:
This is possible since the mortgage loan from Pag-IBIG is assumable. Please ask the help of your relative on the details by inquiring about the process at the branch. This should be easier since you are dealing with a relative.
@Cherry:
Please request for a list of your past contributions from that branch. Then have them sign the requested report. YOu can use this when applying
for a housing loan when you come back to the Philippines.
@hero:
Please ask the assistance of an agent who is selling in your area.
rick roldan says
this is a follow up to my earlier query.i will be in manila for a vacation for 12 days. what are the steps or papers on transfer of liability needed for me to acquire this property that my relative is selling. can i pay my pagibig here in the Philippines embassy?
salamat po and more power
Bea says
Hi Admin,
Im planning to apply for a housing loan. Im working in abroad, a member of Pag ibig for 8 years, my monthly contribution is 500pesos/month my monthly salary is 50,000pesos (converted).
I found a prospective house & lot with the price of 1.250M from a real estate pag ibig accredited. Real Estate told me that Pag ibig will only finance 840,000 and the balance 402,000 as an equity, I have to cash out.
Is it possible pag ibig to finance the full amount of 1.250M & I will pay by installment for 10 years to pag ibig?
Thanks
admin says
@Bea:
The equity or down payment is really a requirement. And usually, you are to shoulder this one personally.
@rick:
Please visit the Pag-IBIG Fund together with the seller.

Sir/Maam member po ako pag ibig at regular na naghuhulog ang local company na pinasokan ko. Next month po mag aabroad na ako pwede ko pa po ba na ituloy ko yong memebership ko dito at regular na maghulog ng contribution?
Cholocholo says
Dear Admin,
Meron po akong questions..
Before po ako maging OFW, 3 yrs. po akong naging (active)member ng PAGIBIG (July 2000 to July 2003). Nahinto po ang contribution ko ng 7 years. During my vacation sa Phil. napa activate ko po ulit ang Pag ibig ko noon Nov. 2010, at na i-continue ko po ang contribution ko hanggang August 2011. OFW pa din po ako until now at hindi ko na po ulit nahulugan ang contribution ko hanggang ngayon.
August 2011 ang huling contribution ko. Ang tanong ko po is qualified po ba ako sa “OFW housing loan” kahit na putol putol ang aking contribution at August 2011 pa huling hulog ko??
Saka po
Bago ako mag apply ng Housing Loan eh kailangan po ba meron na akong house and lot na napili? Pwede po bang ma approve ang Housing Loan kahit wala pkong house and lot na nagugustuhan? THen kapag na approve na housing loan saka ako magpapasa ng house and lot na nagustuhan ko?
Pasensya napo…
Salamat po…
Cholocholo
resy dolleno gomez says
hi,magandang hapon po,magtanong lang po kong pwede na po ba ako magloan sa PAG-IBIG.na ang total contribution ko po ay 1yr.and six month.maraming salamat po resy.
admin says
@Junbie:
Please remember that the two are separate and different from each other. Here are some guidelines on when and how you can claim your savings from regular Pag-IBIG Membership:
https://www.pagibigfinancing.com/articles/2012/money-matters-pag-ibig-fund-provident-savings-and-provident-claims/
@winston:
Yes you can do that and don’t ever switch to POP from your regular membership.
@Cholocholo:
Take note that there is no such thing as OFW Housing Loan. The Housing loan is the same whether you are OFW or locally employed.
And yes, you need to have selected a house and lot first. But you can attend a seminar so that you can determine whether you can loan and how much.
@resy:
You can try, but the minimum membership requirement is really 24 months.
