The Pag-IBIG Fund announced a robust performance in the first quarter of 2025, releasing P30.22 billion in home loans from January to March. This marks an impressive 8 percent increase, or over P2 billion higher, compared to the P28.09 billion disbursed during the same period in 2024.
Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development Secretary Jose Rizalino L. Acuzar, who also chairs the 11-member Pag-IBIG Fund Board of Trustees, lauded the achievement. “The strong performance of Pag-IBIG Fund in the first quarter underscores its continued commitment to providing affordable housing opportunities for Filipino families,” said Secretary Acuzar. “As we sustain progress in home financing alongside the growing momentum of the Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino (4PH) Program, we heed President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s call to uplift the lives of our fellow Filipinos by ensuring access to dignified shelter.”
Pag-IBIG Fund Chief Executive Officer Marilene C. Acosta highlighted the significant impact of these loan releases, noting that they enabled 20,315 members to acquire their own homes during the first three months of the year.
Acosta also emphasized Pag-IBIG Fund’s crucial role in supporting the government’s flagship 4PH Program. Through this initiative, the agency provides vital financing to developers, contractors, and local government units for housing projects, as well as to individual buyers of 4PH units. In the first quarter alone, the agency disbursed P987.91 million under the program, directly benefiting 669 members and their families who are now homeowners.
“We are grateful to our members and stakeholders for their continued trust and support in our programs,” Acosta stated. “Our performance on the home loan front demonstrates not only our financial strength, but also our unwavering commitment to make homeownership more accessible for Filipino workers. Pag-IBIG Fund remains focused on providing affordable and reliable housing programs that help build stable and dignified lives for our members.”
The strong first-quarter showing reaffirms Pag-IBIG Fund’s dedication to its mandate of providing accessible and affordable housing solutions, contributing significantly to the nation’s efforts to address the housing needs of Filipino families.
