One of the requirements before a member can avail of a Housing Loan from the Home Development Mutual Fund or simply Pag-IBIG is to attend a housing loan seminar. If you have not been to that kind of seminar before, here are the essential things that they cover:
- An overview of the Housing Loan Program. Luckily, most of the contents of this website are focused on this topic, too. That means if you have been browsing around for quite some time, you already have a good deal of knowledge about the Housing Loan in general.
- Question and Answer. For those who are really serious about taking a home loan, you can ask the presenter of the seminar any topic that you want to raise that’s related to the program or your particular situation. If there have been questions bothering you regarding the housing loan, this is a good time to ask those and get official answer. So before to ever go to the seminar, it would be good if you prepare a list of your questions.
- Membership Status Verification. Before you can even apply for a housing loan, the Pag-IBIG Fund has to take a look at the details of your membership. They will ask you to fill up this small slip and submit it to the Pag-IBIG staff who will be checking on your membership status while the seminar is going on. Just before the seminar ends, you then get a verification whether you qualify for a housing loan or not.
It’s really that easy. Take note that a big part of the seminar is spent discussing the details of the Housing Loan Program. Indeed it is very important that you know more about it.
