The amount has benefitted some 3 million PAGIBIG Fund members, Marcos Jr. said in a speech delivered at the opening of the National Housing Expo 2025 in Pasay City. 1030 a.m. “Ang isang bahay ay hindi lang isang istraktura. Sa tahanan unang nahuhubog ang pagkatao, umuusbong ang pag-ibig at bumubuo ng mga pangarap,” the President said. 1026 a.m. “Ang pagkakaroon ng sariling bahay ay nananatiliing mailap para sa marami sa ating mga kababayan,” he said. “Kaya naman nagsusumikap ang pamahalaan na palawakin ang programa, pabilisin ang mga proseso at palalimin ang suporta sa sektor ng pabahay,” he added. Under the government’s Expanded Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino (4PH) program, the PAG-IBIG fund is now mandated to cover housing loans for horizontal housing structures and repairs, with interest rates ranging between 3 and 6.25 percent, PAG-IBIG President and CEO Marilene Acosta said. Each PAG-IBIG member may get up to P300,000 through short-term loans for home repairs and improvements, she added. 00:26:18 “Naintindihan namin na hindi lahat pa ay nakahanda ng homeownership so mayroon din tayong dinagdag na rental housing para yung hindi pa maka afford na mag-amortize, hindi pa makaafford ng bahay… mayroon din tayo diyan,” she told reporters on the sidelines of the event. 00:26:36 “Idinagdag din namin diyan yung acquired assets. Pwede nang mamili yung ating mga pag-ibig members sa mga acquired assets at covered na din ito ng expanded pambansang pabahay,” she said. Despite the wider range of loan and assistance options, the PAG-IBIG fund remains stable, Acosta said, underscoring that the government-owned and controlled corporation has some P1.17 trillion in total assets. 00:29:04 “Hindi po tayo mauubusan basta kapag may utang, dapat bayaran kasi ang pinapautang ng PAG-IBIG Fund ay yung mga ipon ninyo,” she said. 00:29:24 “We have to keep in mind to keep the fund sustainable so that the programs will continue forever,” she said. Earlier in the first half of his term, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) — which was under then-Housing Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar — vowed to construct 1 million housing units annually from 2022 to 2028 to address the Philippines’ housing backlog. The DHSUD eventually slashed its target to half or some 3.2 million housing units by the end of Marcos Jr.’s term, citing several issues, including the slow pace of construction due to developers’ difficulties in securing large loans from banks. Ramon Aliling has since replaced Acuzar as DHSUD chief, but the engineer-turned-bureaucrat has declined to take questions from the media during the National Housing Expo 2025 to clarify the government’s new housing targets and programs.">Pag-IBIG offers special 4.5 pct interest on home loans up to P1.8 million</a></div>“Ang pagkakaroon ng sariling bahay ay nananatiliing mailap para sa marami sa ating mga kababayan,” he said. “Kaya naman nagsusumikap ang pamahalaan na palawakin ang programa, pabilisin ang mga proseso at palalimin ang suporta sa sektor ng pabahay,” he added.Under the government’s Expanded Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino (4PH) program, Pag-IBIG fund is now mandated to cover housing loans for horizontal housing structures and repairs, with interest rates ranging between 3 and 6.25 percent, Pag-IBIG President and CEO Marilene Acosta said.Each Pag-IBIG member may get up to P300,000 through short-term loans for home repairs and improvements, she added.“Naintindihan namin na hindi lahat pa ay nakahanda ng homeownership so mayroon din tayong dinagdag na rental housing para yung hindi pa maka afford na mag-amortize, hindi pa makaafford ng bahay… mayroon din tayo diyan,” she told reporters on the sidelines of the event.“Idinagdag din namin diyan yung acquired assets.
