More financing for low-income homebuyers

Pag-IBIG CEO Marilene Acosta said socialized housing now represents nearly 16 percent of all homes financed by the Fund, compared with around 7 percent a year earlier.

The segment serves minimum-wage and low-income members seeking affordable housing.

Housing Secretary Jose Ramon Aliling, who chairs Pag-IBIG’s board of trustees, said the figures reflect progress toward making homeownership more accessible under expanded 4PH.

He said financing options are also creating opportunities for members in the middle-income sector.

Expanded housing choices

Under expanded 4PH, qualified buyers of socialized housing units may access Pag-IBIG’s subsidized 3-percent rate, whether purchasing eligible condominium units or homes in subdivision developments.

DHSUD said the program has broadened beyond vertical housing to include house-and-lot packages, lots-only options, rental housing, the Enhanced Community Mortgage Program, and other approaches.

Pag-IBIG has also introduced promotional rates of 4.5 percent for eligible loans up to ₱4.9 million and 5.75 percent for eligible loans above ₱4.9 million up to ₱10 million, subject to applicable qualifications and program terms. These promotional rates should not be assumed to apply throughout the entire repayment period.
