Can you imagine life without mortgage loans?
To say the least, only a very few families would be living in their own homes. The reality is, most people can’t really afford to pay Spot Cash on a piece of property. Even a 2-year interest-free, installment payment is still hard on the average family’s budget.
But thanks to financing programs like mortgage loans (or housing loans), many families now enjoy having a roof over their heads while still paying the property over a series of monthly payments on a longer term.
The concept is actually very simple. Given the appraised value of the property, a lending institution can assist the buyer in purchasing the property by financing part of the price. Normally, the lending company may shoulder up to 80% of the property’s price and the borrower should be able to raise the 20% cash down payment.

Pag-IBIG Member Benefits and Responsibilities
As a member of the Pag-IBIG Fund, one of the benefits you can enjoy as member is becoming eligible for Pag-IBIG Housing Loan and paying it in longer periods of up to 30 years.
One of the most important things you need to understand about Pag-IBIG Housing Loan, or any mortgage loan for that matter, is that, it is a secured form of financing. This means that when you sign a housing loan with Pag-IBIG, there are two points that you need to keep in mind:
- You promise to repay loan on time as set in the agreement.
- You put the property as collateral to backup your pledge.
The moment you fail to pay on the scheduled monthly amortization, that’s when the Foreclosure clock starts to tick.
It’s a very stressful event and you should do everything in your capacity to contact the Pag-IBIG Fund branch where you applied for the housing loan before it’s too late.
Collateral Requirement of Pag-IBIG Housing Loan
You should already know that Pag-IBIG Housing Loan is only applicable to residential types of properties; not commercial properties.
The collateral requirement of Pag-IBIG Home Loan is very simple: A clean Title (TCT/CCT) issued by the Registry of Deeds.
Important points to remember:
- The tax on the real property must be updated.
- The borrower is required to submit a copy of tax receipts.
Furthermore, the following properties / Titles are not acceptable as collateral:
- Free / Homestead / Miscellaneous Sales Patent Titles
- Properties with Encumbrances
- Properties with Liens
See the following related articles:
Buyer, Beware
Take note of the above-mentioned list of “unacceptable collateral” because they are very important especially if you are buying from individual sellers; that is, not from developer corporations.
When buying a property, insist on getting a copy of the Title — (TCT for Lot, or CCT for condominium unit). Once you have it, verify its status at your local Registry of Deeds. Always avoid buying properties that belong to any of the three categories mentioned above.
Foreclosure properties are another type of properties you should avoid at all costs until you have educated yourself already on the whole idea. However, if you are not that confident yet, forget about all those money-making schemes they preach in Foreclosure Seminars. These properties are much more complicated and a much more painful investment than seminar experts would want to believe.

good day! ask q lng po qng mkk avail aq ng housing loan ( renovation) since i have a bad credit history on my credit card. i’m a private employee and my husband is a seaman. thanks
@paulice:
Yes, please bring the title at the office and them have them look at it. You will be advised what to do next.
@Sally:
Definitely, yes.
@noe:
Yes, Pag-IBIG will not only inspect the property but also the facilities of the subdivision itself.
@leony:
They can’t take a look at your credit history at the moment. So maybe yes.
naipasa na po lahat ng req q sa Pag-Ibig Main bldg. kailan po ba ito maaaproved halos 4months na po akong nag aantay.
Hi, I am a member of pag-ibig fund, just want to ask, gusto ko magloan and collateral is my land title, saan po ba cya pasok sa housing loan ba? what are the other requirement for this? at saka magkano amount pwde ko ma-loan? ang original plan ko po kasi if ever ma-approved ipapagaw ko cya ng apparemnt pwede po ba yun?
pwede po ba makita ang picture ng mga house? plzzzzzzz
Hi. I really need an answer to this question asap.
Does Pag-Ibig allows the Pag-ibig borrower/owner of the Pag-ibig mortgaged property to execute a deed of assignment of the condo unit with assumption of Pag-Ibig loan/mortgage in favor of a third party? Meaning that, that third party will now own the property and assume the pag-ibig loan obligations of the original borrower. Does the execution of such deed requires the consent of Pag-ibig? If, yes, are there still other requirements before the assignment with assumption of pag-ibig loan be approved and recognized by pag-ibig? I would appreciate if can give me a reply soonest. Thank you very much.
pakitagalog kaye, hindi ko naintindihan
@Kaye:
Yes, that’s possible with Pag-IBIG. There are pre-printed documents that you can use and you can request it at the Pag-IBIG Office. Study the document properly because all the other requirements are also listed there.
@al-john:
We are still looking to integrate that feature here on this website. Stay in touch.
@Jane:
That should fall on the Housing Loan Program and the house must be constructed on the same lot that you use as collateral. The house must be a residential type.
@lorna:
please follow up with them
ask ko if possible ako makapag loan kung gagamitin ko pambili ng lupa?and up to what amount ang pwede kong maloan?

tanong ko lang po member po ako ng pag- ibig since 1995 at may loan ako s house loan kya lang d q maasikaso ang pag babayad kc nandito ako s abroad ano po dapat kong gawin?.
@zaldy:
You have to check the real status of that property whether or not it was already foreclosed.
@Martin:
Yes.
@sharon:
The maximum loan amount that Pag-IBIG can possibly grant is P 3M. But you have to be qualified to get it.
Dear Admin,
May tanong po ako , Kumuha po kami ng asawa ko ng house & lot worth 1.4m, nakapagbayad na po kami ng 140k kasama na yun reservation at equity.
Then, IPAPASOK palang sa pagibig housing loan. Nagkapirmahan na yun wife ko pati ang pagibig kasama na un developer last MAY 2011. Tapos hanggang
ngayun hindi pa po nauumpisahan ang hulog sa pagibig, pero may balak na
kami ng asawa ko hindi na ituloy dahil sa financial problem.
TANONG: Pede ko po ba eh backout sa pagibig ang housing loan tru developer consent???May makukuha po ba kami kahit under pa ng developer un house??Sa nahulog namin 140k mga ilan percent lang po ang makukuha namin?? Pede ko po ibenta sa iba kahit under pa ng developer un house?
Pls help me…
@Philip:
Yes, basically you are still on the application stage. Your loan is yet to be granted. About your payments made, please check that one with the developer because it is under their own policies. You may or may not be able to refund any of your payments. The best thing to do it to have someone assume that unit.
hi, since d na pwede bayaran ung 24 months in one time..its july right now means u can just start paying the month of july o pwede po sa previous month like may and june? im here in canada po and im interested to continue my pag ibig contribution..thanks.. pls email me on my add..God bless.
hello po,plano po namin magloan ng house sa pagibig pero 21sqm lang po ang house, 40sqm ang lot so maliit ang huose.(un lang kasi kaya ng budget ).ask ko po if pede po palakihan pag nagkapera ako?If yes,wen po?as long as nagbabayad na ba ako ng monthly amortization pede ko na palakihan ang house?tnx!
can i apply both salary loan and multi purpose loan at the same time?if ever that is possible, can they possibly grant my loan even if we are just renting a house?(for home improvement)thank you!
hello po, i have been a member of pag ibig for about 12 years now and based on my net pay i am allowed to avail 1.2M to 2M.can I possibly get a 2 unit (same subd.magkatabi po) worth 630k each at the same time?.Hope to get ur reply soonest possible.thank u so much.
@jean:
It’s possible but one unit must be house and lot and then the adjacent property has to be lot-only. Essentially, you will be getting a house and lot with a bigger lot area as a result of the other extra lot.
@zoey:
The Pag-IBIG Fund doesn’t distinguish between a salary loan and a multi-purpose loan. They are one and the same Multi-Purpose Loan. ANd yes, you may be granted even if you are just renting.
@Gie:
Yes, once the unit is turned over to you, you should be able to do whatever you want with it provided you are not violation any rules in the community. Please check also with the developer up to what extend they would allow you to make modifications.
@marjorie:
You can’t pay anymore for the past months, but you can pay any time for the current month.
hi, i have gone through the counselling session previously and have filled up the application form. however, the lot I am going to purchase through financing is mortgaged with a bank. The counsellor told me to get a statement of account from the bank, then a contract to sell from the owner. The mortgage balance with the bank is lower than the amount in the contract to sell. Is that alright, will the contract to sell prevail over the mortgage balance?
hello po.
balak ko po sanang mag loan mag 2yrs na ako this july 27 naghuhulog sa pagibig.

@ams:
Sorry, but that’s not accepted as collateral.
@tine:
You will be asked to “upgrade” your contribution once you are granted the loan.
@henry:
Please refer to this article to see the maximum amount of loan you are entitled to:
https://www.pagibigfinancing.com/articles/2011/how-your-income-and-contributions-affect-your-housing-loan-entitlement/
@vicky:
Yes, that should be the case since you are still paying your loan from the bank. No problem about that. Good luck!

Hi,
Pwede bang ibang house property yung ipang-collateral sa Pag Ibig o yung mismong bahay na pag gagawan ng renovation lang yung pedeng gawing collateral?
Thanks.
@TJ:
It has to be the land title on which you want the house to be constructed.
@Brian:
Yes
@Laine:
I’m not sure if SM will accept that. Usually, they will be asking for the Billing Statement.
Hello Admin,
I’m planning on rebuilding (gigibain and patatayuan) our family house.
1. Is it required for the land title to be on my name?
2. What Housing Loan category would that fall into? Construction Of House?
3. If I pass all requirements, how long is the approval?
4. I’m also looking at including my sisters as Co-Makers, However, one has a Bad Credit Card History, would that make my loan invalid?
Thank you so much….
Hello, gusto ko lang iask, if possible na di na required and co maker sa pag loloan?.. im employed naman po, and home improvement lang naman ang niloloan ko. As per helpdesk na nakausap ko dapat daw may co maker, then ung second call ko naman sabe if may kakayahan naman na magbayad di na need ng co maker., napag isip ko pede ngang wala na kc nakacollateral naman ung house and lot title. Ung mga napagtanungan ko naman na nakapagloan na, di na daw kelangan ng co maker… pls enlighten me kc wala ko magiging co maker.,wala ako kapatid, 60 years old na mother ko and self employed ang asawa ko.. walang mapapakita na ITR.

@perl:
The title must always be in the name of the borrower. This article might be of help to you:

@jojo:
Please refer to the answer above @perl
@mike:
I’m afraid Pag-IBIG won’t allow this kind of setup.
@lester:
If you qualify for a loan, yes of course.
@nezz:
A co-borrower is usually needed if your income is not sufficient to cover the monthly amortization dues.
@Rose:
Please check the link below for the requirements:

@april:
Yes, it’s called loan restructuring.

@ohmz:
First, you need to be a member first with at least 24 months contribution. Please visit the office or branch on how to go about this.
@Vladimer:
That may be acceptable as collateral, but you need to verify it with the Pag-IBIG first.

Seth,
The loan would be for house construction since you are not buying the land anymore.
I just want to ask bakit po ang pag ibig won’t accept as coaterral young mga “free patent” title. – want to buy my uncle’s lot but ayaw e accept ng pag ibig.pls help.
Crizel,
That’s their policy.
good day po! member po ako ng pagibig may binibili po akong residential lot somewhere in pangasinan at gusto ko din xang patayuan ng bahay paano po ang proseso nun through pagibig financing? thanks po.
If PAG-IBIG cancel your loan application because of one of the rules from Pag-ibig that collateral properties should be free of all TCT encumbrances, ” DOES PAG-IBIG WRITE A NOTES TO YOUR LOAN APPLICATION THE REASON WHY THEY CANCELLED THE LOAN?” This I notice that from my nephew point of view is that the clerk from Pag-ibig said to him this loan is cancelled or not valid because the TCT has encumbrances. But again do you relay from what the clerk said it was, without written note as evidence of the the matter?
Reynaldo,
Normally, they won’t notify anymore since there are so many applicants for a housing loan. But when you make a follow-up, they may tell you the reason why they deny a particular loan.
Good day, ask ko lang po if may house and lot ako fully paid na and then gusto ko siya ibenta sa pinsan ko at gagamitin as collateral ang property ko. Ano po ang requirements at kanino ma release ang check? Thank you
Good day.My husband is a pag ibig member in a private company.Meron po kami nabili na bahay sa Bulacan raw houses bayad na po kami doon.Meron na po kami hawak na TCT(trasnfer certificate title) nakapangalan pa po sa foundation.Meron na po binigay ang foundation sa amin na original TCT,secretary`s certificate,deed of sale notarized indicating na sa amin na po ung house and lot na iyon.Plano po namin mag apply ng housing loan tapos i collaterral po namin ung TCT na hawak namin.Gagamitin po namin ung pera pa construct ng maliit na bahay sa ibang lugar(Leyte).
Ang tanong ko po:
1.Pwd ko ba gamiting collateral ung TCT sa bahay at lupa namin sa Bulacan kahit hindi pa namin nai pa transfer sa pangalan namin?
2.Asang branch ng Pag ibig po kami pumunta para mag inquire tungkol dito:
3. Yearly na po kami nagbayad ng property tax sa Sta.Maria bulacan
Paki advise po para kami maliwanagan tungkol dito.
Marami pong salamat.
Marilou,
The check will be in the name of the seller — that’s you.
Winefreda,
Some quick replies for you:
1. To get a housing loan, the title on the land must be in the name of the borrower.
2. You must apply at the branch that has jurisdiction of the property you are buying. In this case, you are not buying, but rather will be using the proceeds to finance a business. Pag-IBIG doesn’t allow this one.
3. Please visit the Pag-IBIG branch to inquire more.
Hello admin,
May bahay po ako binibinta, tapos may buyer na, tama po ba kami kukuha ng mga requirement na ito, vicinity map, zoning clearance. O ang buyer po ba ang kukuha? Ng apply po sila Pag Ibig loan .
8 years na po namin hinuhulugan ung bahay na nailoan namin sa pag ibig… mejo magulo na po dun sa place dahil puro forclosed na po ung katabi ko pero may mga nakatira na kung cno cno lang… balak po sana namin kumuha sa ibang lugar tru pag ibig dn po.. kaso ung pag ibig account ko po nagamit ko na dto sa bahay namin ngayon… pwede ko po ba itransfer sa ibang bahay? or irefund ko na lang? how much po ang marerefund? after magrefund pwede po ba ako ulit magloan sa pag ibig?
may client kami, bibili sana sila ng house-and-lot packge sa isang subdivision. pero na-realize nila later na mas gusto nila na sila na lang ang magpa-contruct ng bahay instead na ipaubaya sa developer para ma-ensure yung quality ng bahay at maimplement ng maayos yung revisions nila s interior partitions. ok lng naman daw yun sa developer basta pasok sa deed of restrictions. in short, lot na lang gusto nilang kunin. ask ko lng if possible ba na ma-cover pa rin ng pag-ibig yung lot at pati yung bahay na sila na mismo ang magpapatayo? paano po ang proseso?
