Pag-IBIG Fund launches HEAL, offering additional funds through home equity
Pag-IBIG Fund continues to support members through the Pag-IBIG Home Equity Appreciation Loan (Pag-IBIG HEAL), providing housing loan borrowers affordable and convenient access to ready cash for home improvement, expansion, or other family expenses.
Pag-IBIG HEAL allows borrowers with existing Pag-IBIG Housing Loans in good standing to tap into the increased value of their homes. The program provides additional cash at affordable rates and easy repayment terms, enabling members to conveniently fund home improvements or address other important family expenses without financial stress.
Pag-IBIG Fund Chief Executive Officer Marilene Acosta explained how Pag-IBIG HEAL empowers borrowers to leverage the growing equity in their homes. 'Pag-IBIG HEAL offers our borrowers practical and affordable access to additional cash. As their homes grow in value, Pag-IBIG HEAL lets them tap into this appreciation to make improvements, expansions, or even address other financial needs without causing strain on their finances,' Acosta said.
Eligible borrowers for Pag-IBIG HEAL must have an existing Pag-IBIG Housing Loan maintained in good standing for at least five years, with monthly payments consistently updated during the 12 months prior to application. Borrowers must also be active Pag-IBIG Fund members not older than 65 at the time of application and have the financial capacity to repay the additional loan.
The maximum loan amount through Pag-IBIG HEAL depends primarily on the increased appraised value of the borrower's property and their ability to repay. The combined balance of the existing Pag-IBIG Housing Loan and the Pag-IBIG HEAL should not exceed 60% of the property's latest appraised value, with a maximum total loanable amount of Php 6 million.

Woman from viral sewer video to get P80K sari-sari store aid from DSWD
A woman who went viral for emerging from a Makati sewer, identified only as 'Rose,' is now starting her own sari-sari store through government support. The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) confirmed that she will receive up to Php80,000 in livelihood aid, not all at once but in phases. DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian said that this support will follow the agency's standard procedures. Rose will first receive initial capital to buy items to sell, followed by regular monitoring before more funds are released. 'In all our case, it's a gradual monitoring system, hand-holding yan. Ang gagawin ng aming social worker, una bibigyan siya ng paunang tulong— katulad nga raw kagabi, nagsimula na sila bumili ng ibebenta sa tindahan. Then imomonitor natin sila uli. 'Pag nakita natin na maganda 'yung takbo, dadagdagan at dadagdagan natin hanggang sa mabuo natin 'yung 80,000 pesos,' Secretary Gatchalian explained. He said the DSWD's team of social workers will act as case managers to ensure that Rose can sustain the business and use the help wisely. 'Lagi naman importante 'yung case management kung tatawagin… ang mga social workers ang nagke-case manage on an individual basis [sa mga clients natin],' he added. Rose and her partner, a barker, used to live on the streets and relied on collecting recyclables for survival. Despite these hardships, they were able to rent a small bedspace and showed a willingness to manage their earnings responsibly. 'Nakita ng mga social workers natin na pwedeng maiahon nila yung sarili nila sa lansangan, ibig sabihin meron silang sariling displina kung pano pagkakasyahin 'yung kanilang kita,' Gatchalian said, adding that this was a major factor in granting her the livelihood aid. The support for Rose falls under the 'Pag-abot Program,' a 24/7 initiative of the DSWD aligned with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr's directive to help homeless individuals and provide long-term, appropriate assistance.

Pag-IBIG Fund continues to grow members' savings as investment income climbs 50%
Pag-IBIG Fund recorded a 50% increase in investment income in the first four months of 2025, reflecting its prudent financial stewardship and growing capacity to support members' savings and housing needs. The development affirms the agency's key role in advancing the Marcos administration's agenda of strengthening government financial institutions and improving the lives of Filipino workers through responsive social benefits. From January to April 2025, the agency earned ₱2.73 billion in investment income alone—significantly higher than the ₱1.81 billion posted during the same period in 2024—driven by strategic placements in bonds and other debt securities, money market instruments, equities, and investment properties. Chief Executive Officer Marilene C. Acosta highlighted that the agency's investment portfolio stood at ₱158.15 billion as of April 2025, reflecting a 42% year-on-year increase from ₱111.39 billion in April 2024. She noted that this growth forms part of Pag-IBIG Fund's sound and strategic allocation of its more than ₱1.11 trillion in total assets—a milestone the agency reached earlier this month. Based on the latest available data, Pag-IBIG Fund's earning assets have reached ₱1.09 trillion, consisting of ₱856.96 billion in housing-related assets, ₱77.94 billion in short-term loans, and ₱158.12 billion in income-generating investments. The remaining ₱20 million accounts for other assets, including property and equipment, cash, and intangible assets. 'Our investments play a vital role in providing our members with the best possible returns,' Acosta said. 'We begin by meeting our housing investment requirement to help more Filipinos own homes through affordable financing. We also maintain adequate funding for our short-term loans, ensuring members have access to immediate financial assistance. Remaining investible funds are placed in secure instruments that deliver competitive returns while preserving liquidity for members' claims. Through this balanced, disciplined approach—anchored on the strategic allocation of our resources to housing, short-term lending, and investments—we fulfill our mission to safeguard our members' trust and deliver meaningful benefits, the Lingkod Pag-IBIG way.' Meanwhile, the agency also formally welcomed Secretary Jose Ramon P. Aliling this week as the newly appointed Chairperson of its 11-member Board of Trustees. His leadership is expected to further guide Pag-IBIG Fund's strategic direction in line with the Marcos administration's housing and institutional development agenda.

From ₱1.069 trillion at the end of 2024, total assets grew by ₱34.37 billion in just the first quarter of the year—driven by the sustained expansion of its loan portfolio, prudent investments, and robust member savings. Pag-IBIG Fund posted a solid equity base of ₱776.52 billion as of the first quarter, representing the combined value of members' equity, retained earnings, and other reserves.

Earlier this month, Pag-IBIG Fund Chief Executive Officer Marilene C. Acosta reiterated the agency's 10-year vision: to declare at least 10% in annual dividends, expand digital access, and advance financial inclusion for underserved sectors. The long-term strategy also includes strengthening the Fund's sustainability and enhancing its role in nation-building through inclusive home financing—fully aligned with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s directive to improve the quality of life of every Filipino through access to affordable and dignified shelter. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, Pag-IBIG Fund disbursed ₱30.22 billion in housing loans, while total membership savings collections reached ₱40.41 billion—an impressive 41% increase from the ₱28.76 billion collected during the same period last year. The Fund also reported a strong performing loans ratio of 94.13%, reflecting sound portfolio management and sustained borrower discipline.
