Pag-IBIG Fund says assets grew to P1.1T as of end-March 2025
In a news release, Pag-IBIG said its asset growth underscores its 'continued financial strength" which "reaffirms its position among the country's leading government financial institutions.'
The Fund's assets grew by P34.27 billion from P1.069 trillion as of the end of 2024, on the back of sustained expansion of its loan portfolio, prudent investments, and robust member savings.
Pag-IBIG said it booked an equity base of P776.52 billion in the first quarter, which represents the combined value of members' equity, retained earnings, and other reserves.
It added that its strong financial footing enables the agency to steadily grow the value of its members' savings while continuing to provide accessible loan programs to its 16.55 million active members.
Moreover, Pag-IBIG said it maintained P21.29 billion in cash and cash equivalents and expanded its investment portfolio to P133.06 billion, 'demonstrating its strategic focus on liquidity and income-generating placements.'
It said that its other major asset components include property and equipment, investment properties, and various non-current assets, all pointing to a well-diversified and resilient financial structure.
In the first quarter of 2025 alone, Pag-IBIG said it disbursed P30.22 billion in housing loans, while total membership savings collections reached P40.4 billion, a 41% increase from the P28.76 billion collected during the same period last year.
The Fund added it also saw a strong performing loans ratio of 94.13%, 'reflecting sound portfolio management and sustained borrower discipline.' —VAL, GMA Integrated News

Pag-IBIG offers 3% rate for first 30,000 borrowers under expanded 4PH program
The Home Development Mutual Fund or Pag-IBIG Fund announced on Monday that it will offer a special 3% per annum interest rate to the first 30,000 borrowers for the first 10 years of housing loan under the Expanded Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino (4PH). 'Sa karaniwan po kasi, limang taon po yung special subsidized 3% rate, yung unang limang taon ng kanilang loan term. Under po sa ating early bird promo, yung unang 30,000 borrowers po natin ay mae-enjoy yung subsidized rate na yan for the first 10 years of the loan, isang dekada po na mae-enjoy yung subsidized rate,' said Jack Jacinto, Pag-IBIG Fund Vice President for Public and Member Relations, in Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon. (Typically, the special subsidized 3% rate lasts for the first five years of their loan term. However, under our early bird promo, our first 30,000 borrowers will enjoy that subsidized rate for the first 10 years of the loan — a full decade that they can enjoy the subsidized rate.) Pag-IBIG said the special promo is meant to encourage the public, particularly the low-income and minimum wage earners, to avail of affordable housing. 'Yung unang maga-apply at maaprubahan po sa Pag-ibig housing loan para sa expanded 4PH, sila po ang makakatamasa po nito. Ang dahilan po niyan ay para maengganyo ang ating mga kababayan lalo na at may plano na sila bumili ng kanilang bahay ay tignan itong alok po ng ating pamahalaan. Mura na po ito pero mas pinamura pa natin ito,' said Jacinto. (The first to apply for and be approved for a Pag-IBIG housing loan under the expanded 4PH program will be able to avail of this. The reason for this is to encourage our citizens, especially those who already plan to buy a house, to consider this offer from our government. It's already affordable, but we've made it even more so.) Pag-IBIG said the monthly payment would be more affordable with the special offer. For instance, a socialized housing unit that costs P850,000 is usually payable by P5,400 to P5,500 monthly. 'Sa pangkaraniwan po ay mababa na ang monthly nito sa ilalim ng regular Pag-IBIG housing loan na nasa around P5,400 (to) P5,500. Sa tulong ng special subsidized rate sa ilalim ng Pag-IBIG housing loan para sa expanded 4PH, ang monthly payment nito ay aabout sa P3,600 to P3,700 na lamang,' said Jacinto. (Normally, the monthly payment for this under a regular Pag-IBIG housing loan is already low, around P5,400 to P5,500. But with the special subsidized rate under the Pag-IBIG housing loan for the expanded 4PH, the monthly payment will only be around P3,600 to P3,700.) Open to OFWs The expanded 4PH program is also open to overseas Filipino workers regardless of their income, said Pag-IBIG. 'Ang kwalipikado dito ay yung mga first-time home buyers. Para sa mga nagtatatrabaho sa NCR, dapat hindi lalagpas sa P47,800 yung kanilang kinikita. Ibig sabihin sakop yung mga minimum wage earners, low-income earners. Pagdating outside of NCR, not more than P34,800 yung kanilang monthly income,' said Jacinto. (Those who qualify for this are first-time home buyers. For those working in NCR (National Capital Region), their income should not exceed P47,800. This means it covers minimum wage earners and low-income earners. For those outside of NCR, their monthly income should be not more than P34,800.) Click here for the list of available units under the expanded 4PH. — BAP, GMA Integrated News

Pag-IBIG Fund posts record-high P28.04B net income in H1 2025
The Home Development Mutual Fund or Pag-IBIG Fund saw its bottom line grow by double-digit in the first half of 2025 on the back of higher premium collections and earnings from its housing loan programs. In a statement on Friday, Pag-IBIG Fund reported a net income of P28.04 billion, up 15.25% or P3.71 billion from a year earlier. This is the highest net income recorded since the agency was founded in 1980, according to the housing fund. The fund added that its gross earnings stood at P44.39 billion, up 11.65% or P4.63 billion higher year-on-year. Pag-IBIG Fund said its financial performance during the period was due to strong collections and higher earnings from its housing and short-term loan portfolios. 'This performance shows how excellently we are managing the funds that our members have entrusted to us. With our strong fiscal standing, we remain capable of continuing to deliver our members' benefits and are in a solid position to finance more homes under the 'Expanded Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino' or Expanded 4PH Program, in line with the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to empower more Filipinos to achieve better, more dignified lives,' said Secretary Jose Ramon Aliling of the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development, who also chairs the 11-member Pag-IBIG Fund Board of Trustees. Moreover, Pag-IBIG Fund said higher investment returns also contributed to its first half 2025 income growth. In particular, the fund's income from investments surged by 51.79% year-on-year to P4.27 billion 'driven by strategic placements in bonds and other debt securities, money market instruments, equities, and investment properties.' Pag-IBIG Fund said its investment income accounted for 5.56% of the fund's total gross earnings during the period. For her part, Pag-IBIG Fund CEO Marilene Acosta bared the fund's financial position. As of June 2025, Pag-IBIG Fund's total assets stood at P1.14 trillion, up 7.02% or P74.90 billion increase from the year-end 2024 figure of P1.07 trillion. Acosta said the agency's strong performance 'directly benefits its members' as the fund, under its charter, returns at least 70% of its annual net income to members in the form of dividends, which are credited to their savings every year. — BAP, GMA Integrated News

DOLE reminds employers: Implement P50 wage hike in NCR
The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) on Wednesday reminded employers in the National Capital Region (NCR) of the effectivity of the P50 wage hike in the daily minimum wage. DOLE-NCR Regional Director Sarah Buena Mirasol said the new wage hike will be deemed effective starting Friday, July 18, 2025. 'Effective ang bagong minimum wage sa July 18. Dapat ang ating mga employers ay mag-adjust na at makatanggap na rin by July 18 ang ating minimum wage earners,' Mirasol told Balitanghali. (The new minimum wage will be effective starting July 18. The employers should start adjusting then and provide the new daily minimum wage.) Last month, the NCR Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board granted a P50 wage hike in the region, bringing the daily minimum wage rate from P645 to P695 for the non-agriculture sector, and from P608 to P658 for the agriculture sector, service and retail establishments employing 15 or less workers, and manufacturing establishments regularly employing less than ten workers. Under the new rate, non-agriculture workers will have a monthly take-home pay of about P15,247 to P18,216 for a five-day and six-day workweek, respectively, inclusive of mandatory social welfare benefits such as 13th month pay, service incentive leave, SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG. Meanwhile, Mirasol said establishments affected by calamities or those involved in retail and services employing ten workers are exempted from the wage hike. 'Kapag hindi nag-comply ang ating employers, puwedeng dumulog sa DOLE-NCR o field offices…Online, puwede rin mag-request for assistance,' she added. (Should employers fail to comply, the employees may seek assistance from the DOLE head office and field offices. They may also request for assistance online.) —KG, GMA Integrated News
