Introducing The Pag-IBIG Fund Philippines
Pag-IBIG Fund is the other name, albeit an easy to remember one, of the Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF). Pag-IBIG is an acronym which stands for...
Pagtutulungan sa Kinabukasan:
Ikaw,
Bangko,
Industriya, at
Gobyerno.
It is a government-controlled, Philippine corporation that serves as provident and housing fund, pooling together the investments of its members.
Essentially, Pag-IBIG Fund is a synergistic cooperation of its various stakeholders, which include the following:
- Ikaw -- mostly local employees of the Philippines with conterpart contributions from their employers. Individual paying members (Overseas Filipino Workers, self-employed, dependent members) may also become members of Pag-IBIG Fund.
- Bangko -- the local banking sector, plus other private financial institutions
- Industriya -- including the Housing Industry such as real developers, and private employers
- Gobyerno -- the Philippine Government
Established in June 11, 1978 through Presidential Decree No 1530, the Fund has two very important mandates, namely:
- Geration of Savings by pooling together the contributions of its members.
- Home Financing by providing housing loans to its members at a low interest and long term payment.
Up to this day, the Pag-IBIG Fund has become the partner of the Filipino in realizing his dream of owning real property at an affordable price. Indeed, it is living up to its name of helping and uniting the four sectors of society, namely: the Filipino people, the financial sector, the industrial sector and the government sector, to achieve the future that they have always wanted by providing homes for Fund members through the creation of an efficient savings system.
