Pagibig Housing Loan Application Requirements Processing and Procedures

How to apply housing loan in Pagibig Fund (a.k.a. Home Development Mutual Fund)? What are the procedures and requirements? If you file the application now, how long would you wait? How much should you pay and how much are the current interest rates for this loan?

In this post, I’m gonna share about the process and steps in application of housing loan thru Pagibig Fund. I have attended a seminar in Pagibig recently as it one of the requirements before filing application.

I’m not affiliated with Pagibig but I am recommending it than availing housing loans on banks because the interest rates are lower.

pagibig housing loan application requirements procedures

One of the awesome benefits of being a Pagibig member is the Housing Loan. Everyone needs their own house sooner or later. Pagibig’s interest rates for this kind of loan are lower and cheaper compared to other housing loans and financing options offered usually by banks.

I’ve summed up the reasons why should you apply in Pagibig than any other housing loan provider. By the way, their online calculator is useful. I’ve shared the list of Pagibig housing loan application requirements here too.

Why You should Get Pagibig Housing Loan?

The benefits and advantages of choosing Pagibig housing loan than any other loan provider are as follows:

  • Interest rate in Pagibig is lower and cheaper. Right now it starts with 7.785% per annum. Banks usually offer 10% and higher.
  • Re-pricing of interest rates is lower too. It won’t go up or above 2% in case of inflation and other economic factors.
  • It is easy and simple to apply provided you are eligible
  • Approval process is fast and quick

Pagibig Housing Loan Eligibility

You must meet the following requirements before you apply for housing loan in HDMF.

  • Must be a Pagibig active member and have contributed of at least 24 months of contributions. What if you already had the 24 months of contributions but you’re no longer an active member? Just resume being active and you can apply. What if you’re a new member? Pay lump sum payment to complete the required 24 months and submit the PFR (Pagibig Fund Receipt) upon filing of loan application.
  • You must attend a seminar about the application of housing loan. They will discuss all the processing steps and they will tackle all requirements and points regarding your housing loan application.

Steps in Pagibig Housing Loan Application

After you have attended the seminar, you’ll be given the checklist of requirements. You must prepare all the documents in 3 set of copies and compile them in folders. Fill out all details correctly and honestly and make sure they’re all complete. Check your Pagibig MID Number. If you don’t have one yet, get it online.

You’ll be given Notice of Approval if your loan was approved. Congratulations then! They will contact you in case there are additional documents required. Cheques are given in 4-gives wherein the first 3 cheques would be the 30% amount of your loan and the last one will be the remaining 10%.

Tips in availing Pagibig housing loan:

Whatever loan you are availing, I advise you to borrow only the amount you are comfortable and affordable to pay. Consider your financial status and capacity to pay before you apply for a loan. If you can pay the loan in 3 years, choose 3 years. Otherwise choose the longer term.

Never underestimate interest rates. It is advisable to ponder on what you are dealing with. Use your calculator many times and verify your resources and assets. The best person who knows his eligibility to loan and to pay is himself.

I got married 2009. however naghiwalay na kami ng ex wife ko for 8 years pero di pa legally annulled. di ko na po sya nakakausap or nakikita since then. i have legal documentation of abandonment of our child and a SOLO parent to proved that i am single parent. pano po ba gagawin ko para maaproved ako sa loan ko kung di ko na kaya papirmahin yun ex wife ko.

    hope you can help me.

  11. Hi Ms. Fhel,

    Ask ko lang po, sa housing loan po ba sa PAGIBIG need ng downpayment? Kasi sa processs po pag binabasa ko, wala naman naka include pero may other articles lang po na parang nababanggit yung downpayment. So I confused po kung need nga ba talaga ng downpayment with a certain percentage ng kabuuang worth ng bahay. Kasi po kung ganun hindi din ako magkakaron ng bahay dahil need din ng cash.

    Thanks po sa sagot niyo.

  15. Hi Ms. Fhel, I am an eligible pagibig member (self-employed). I bought a house thru a developer. Applied for a bank financing to fully pay the developer, the bank approved my loan with a bank guaranty. As of now, I am having a house renovation with 70% completion. From my assessment, I will still be needing 1.5 M to 2 M to fully finish the house renovation.

    My question is: Can I still avail of housing renovation loan if the TCT of my property is still under the bank?

    • Hi, as far as I know your credit standing with other institutions will not affect your Pag ibig loan application. Though they will ask you to sign a waiver for them to check your credit back ground. I have the same worry mayroon din akong loan sa 2 banks with PDCs 4 yrs ago at hindi ko na tlga nabayaran. Ni-clarified ko ito with Pag-ibig here in Pasay & they advised me it will not be a ground to disapprove my housing loan as long as I have no delinquent records sa Pag-ibig.

      I hope this will ease your worry. So far, waiting nalang ako sa Pag -ibig releasing ng TCT ko, annotated na sya.

      Thanks.

        • Hi.. Almost same tayo ng situation pero yung sa case ko, the lot belongs to my deceased father. Pagibig required me to transfer the lot first under my name before I could be able to use it as collateral. They dont accept titles kasi na under sa name ng taong patay na. Clean title ang kelangan nila which is dapat nakapangalan sa buhay. Yun nga ang inaasikaso ko ngayon, bukod sa magastos magpatransfer eh time-consuming pa.

  33. Hi Ms. Fehl,

    Just wana ask kasi na-approve yung pag-ibig housing loan ko but lesser dun sa agreed amount with the seller so the seller said that I have to settle the remaining amount or kung di ko kaya, lalagyan nila ng interest na 5% yung balance hanggang sa mabayaran ko ng buo. After computing it, sa tingin ko di ko kaya kc I will be paying 20k+ for my pagibig amortization for 30years then the balance would be 15k per month hanggang mabayaran ko yung balance na 300k pa. Then also yung sa mga taxes sabi hati rin kami para ma-transfer sa kin yung name ko, and pati yun with interest din of 6% kaya 7800pesos per month. Im sure mahihirapan talaga ako so Im deciding to cancel na may housing loan na di pa naman nare-release. Ask ko lang king i-cancel ko ba yon, ma-blacklist na ko sa pag-ibig? Di ba ba ko makaka-avail ulit ng housing loan pag plano ko na ulit mag-apply? thanks!

  47. For OFW:
    •b. Original Employer’s Certificate of Income (with English translation if in foreign language). If document submitted is photocopy, it shall be duly certified/initiated by Pagibig Fund Information Officer assigned in the country where the member works.

    Hi Ms. Fehl!

    Di magbibigay employer ko ng certificate of income. Meron bang ibang altrenative?

  50. Hello Fehl,
    Kumosta po kayo. May itatanung lang po sana ako sa iyo. I’m a former Pilipino citizen, and got my citizenship 8 years ago. Tanung ko po. I heared about this Pag ibig loan plenty of times. As a former Pilipino citizen, pwede po ba ako mag open ng account for Pagibig Loan. You said at least two years na kailangan hulugan iyung pundo, and then you can apply for the Pagibig loan.

    Magkano po ba ang monthly minimum na kailangan hulugan ang account. I hope to hear from you when you get a chance. Thank you and ha a Nice Day.

    • I suggest you go to the Pagibig branch that handles your membership right since your account is based there. It’s good to take loans only if you have stable and regular income. If you don’t have stable income, the interests of your loan balances will multiply.

    • Hi Julie! It’s up to you how much you wish to apply, Pagibig will be the one to approve it anyway. They would grant you loan based on your contributions and your housing project. They will assess everything before they release the approval. It is applied in person as of now coz you have to submit complete papers and requirements, attend seminar. The cheque is issued every completion of work of the project, not only once. You can pay your loan after it was created and it has been active. They will discuss more in the seminar. God bless!

  101. Hi Fehl,

    Thanks for this very informative post.

    Currently i owned house and lot. Then,we need a huge money due to unexpected situation. Would like to avail housing loan in pagibig using my TCT as my collateral. Because housing loan offers long term payment installment.

    Would it that possibly fall in construction housing loan maybe? or I dont know. Thus housing construction needs actual reciepts of purchases used in contructions or the abovementioned requirements will be suffice?Hope you can give me advise.

    Thank you in advance.

    • Housing Loan is for housing projects such as construction or renovation and the house building related projects listed in the form . Other than that, it wont allow you for a loan. Yes, the applicant needs architecture design, planning, layout, building permit etc. See the requirements mentioned above.

    • If he meets the requirement, yes he can apply. The member must have contributed at least 24 months. The loan value will be based on Pagibig approval

  108. Good day, na-approved na po house construction loan ko sa pag-ibig at nagstart na yung construction namin, but we’ve changed our mind we decided na magbago sa roofing kasi ang nasa plan namin is cement roofing but maraming nagsasabi ng hindi raw maganda ang ganun so gusto po sana namin na palagyan na lang ng long span roofing, pwede po kaya yung ganun na hindi namin sundin yung orig plan?

    Reply
    • Any change in the plan and construction must be known by Pagibig housing loan department coz they based the loan approval on the original plan. You must tell and report them any update or change

    • Yes I suggest you go directly to Pagibig to check and verify your housing loan application even if you use a developer. You are the member and you always have the right to check anything involving your account. Have a great day!

    • Hi Fehl,

      Im glad na nakita ko yung site mo, maraming akong natutunan based sa mga inputs.salamat kasi my mga ganitong site. Ask ko lang kasi balak ko sanang mag loan ng House Construction sa pag ibig.Pero wala akong pampatayo ng 30% house stracture, ma consider kaya yun ng pag ibig?Ma approve kaya pag ng loan ako?

      thanks.

      • If you meet the requirements listed above, let your application be assessed, only them knows if you’ll get approved. I think though as long as you’re active member with enough contributions and bad records, you will be approved even if not the total loan.

  110. Thank you Ms. Fehl, the requirements for the housing loan is very informative. Thank you for creating this site.
    Just want to ask is there a schedule for their seminars and where do they usually conduct the housing loan seminars?
    Again thank you and more power to you.

    Reply
    • Hi Meann! Yes they always conduct Housing loan seminars coz it’s now required. It depends upon the Pagibig branch. In the branch near us, they conduct every Friday. Go to the Housing Loan department and ask for Housing Loan application form. They will give you then the forms for requirements too and the date of your seminar

      Reply
  111. Very informative post! Just a question, for house construction loan application, is it true that there is a certain % of house construction completion before the loan is approved or the loan is released?

    Reply
    • The loan is not given in a lump sum. They will issue checks (cheque) based on the completion of the construction. In the example discussed from the seminar I attended, for example your loan is 1 million, checks will be issued:

      1st check 300,000
      2nd check 300,000
      3rd check 300,000
      4th check 100,000

      Reply
      • Hi ms fhel. With regards to the staggered release of loan in pag ibig, do They release the 1st check before the start up of the house improvement? thanks a lot. Hoping for your prompt reply. Kind Regards..

    • Verify it at Pagibig. They won’t approve a loan unless their name would be in jeopardy too. I think they have learned their lesson 🙂

  114. Hi Fehl,,Pag Approve na yong Housing loan sa Pag-ibig meron bang 3 months advance?kasi through salary deduction kami yon ang sbi ng developer sa amin…wala bang recibo pag salary deduction,?paano nmin malaman yong na bayad namin ala bng online sa Pag-ibig?

  115. What is NOA? And how long will i wait? February is the date i filed and pay for the processing fee.the pagibig told us to wait for 3mos and its in the signatory now.im jst wondering from the month i filed it that will end this may 12,2014,pls i want to know if how would it realeased?

    Reply
    • NOA is Notice of Approval. Means, your housing loan has been approved. Consider the past Holy Week so add few days to the estimated 3 months they told you. If you want, you can also contact the branch housing loan department to make a follow up.

        • We were not applying housing loan via Developer. If you are with a Developer, the requirements are kinda different. Usually, our Developer will be the one who will tell you the requirements and timeframe of construction.

  116. Hi Fehl
    Quick question. I received my NOA March 26, 2014, how long is waiting time for the release of loan proceeds. I applied my housing loan through a developer and submitted all the necessary required documents to the developer. According to the developer, it’ll take 4 weeks for the loan takeout and 1 week for document a annotation. Are the timelines correct?

    Please advise and thanks.

    Reply
    • Yes that’s pretty much the time they discussed in the housing seminar from Pagibig. If you must, make a follow up because it’s almost Holy Week

      Reply
      • Note that I didn’t apply with a Developer. I applied directly as a Pagibig member. If you own the lot already, you can just apply yourself without using a third party. 🙂

  117. tanong ko lang po kasi 1 month na yesterday ung lot purchase + house construction loan namin. once palang po nagemail sakin ang pag ibig kasi may kailangan na isang document if im not mistaken 2 weeks ago pa un. until now wala parin update from them. sabi naman nung sa pagibig na nakausap ko kung wala ng ibang requirments na kailangan, next na daw yung notice of approval. nattakot lang kasi ako na hindi mapprove ung loan ko. utang lang kasi akonpara makapag start ng construction kasi sabi nila dpat may atleast 20% accomplishment eh. thanks po

    • They already told you no more additional documents needed so you don’t need to worry. Pagibig is very helpful and considerate. They base the loan according to your capacity to pay and contributions

  118. Hello andito po ako sa taiwan ngayon magkano ang lumpsum na bayaran ko para mka avail po ako ng housing load this year thanks alot

    Reply
    • You must be an active member and have contributed 24 months…If you’re currently not active, I suggest you resume your membership and pay the necessary contributions to meet the requirements in housing loan. Just go to the Pagibig branch near you when you got home..or ask your family in the Philippines.

  119. Ilan buwan po ba nag hihinatyin namin para ma release ang loan, iyong notice of approval po?

    If you file the application now, how long would you wait?

  120. IS IT TRUE NA MABABA NA ANG APRAISAL SA PAG-IBIG HOUSING LOAN NGAYON, CONFUSED PO AKO NGAYON SA SINABI NG DEVELOPER NAMUN KASI DAW DAPAT 750K ANG LOANABLE AMOUNT NG AKING KINUHANG BAHAY PERO BAKA DAW 400K-500K LANG ANG MA AAPROVE NG PAG-IBIG, ANG EQUITY KO AY 230K SO KUNG NASA 400K-500K LANG ANG MAAAPROVE SA LOAN KO, AUTOMATIC DAW NA YUNG BALANCE SA LOANABLE KO EH IDADAGDAG NA SA EQUITY KO AT AABOT NA ETO HANGGANG 500K…SOBRA NAMAN PO YUN,,HINDI NAMIN YUN KAKAYANIN..

    SANA MO MABIGYAN MO KAMI NG ADVICE TUNGKOL DITO. THANKS!!!

    • It depends upon your contributions. They base the loanable amount from your capacity to pay and your contributions. All loan providers are basing from that anyway

    Reply
    • Yes so we must look for kakilala na licensed din na ok yung fees. We have to pay fees talaga because those plans and blueprints are not easy to make and we are using their expert service. If you need an architect, I can refer you one. He’s licensed and has been doing great projects. Mabilis pa kasi Autocad. He’s not charging that expensive fees. He’s on per project basis, not per SQM 🙂

      Reply
    • Hi, the standard rate of an architect for the plan is 10% of the total construction cost. It depends also on the complexity of the design and other circumstance. Thanks.

  125. Im thankful nkita ko yung blog na to, Ask ko lang po, nag apply ako ng Home Improvement sa Pag Ibig and got approve. What if hindi nasunod exactly yung nasa building plan ko. I had a change of mind kasi, at nagbago yung plan ko sa 2nd floor like the number of rooms pati sa baba. Hindi ba marerelease yung 2nd release? kelangan ba tlaga sumakto sa pinasa ko na original building plan? Medyo costly kasi magpagawa ng building plan. will they require another building plan? Ang worry ko kasi baka di irelease yung susunod? Thanks so much!

    • Hi ms. len,
      May tanong po ako regarding sa house construction/improvement. Hinihingi ba agad ng pag-ibig yung bldg plan kasama nung ibang reqmnts? Kasi di naman kaagad kami makakakapagpasa ng bldg plan na hindi tinitibag yung bahay namin for the soil test (para malaman kung ilang storey yung kaya nung lupa namin). Thanks in advance!

  126. Hi, this article is the most complete and most helpful I have encountered. I want to buy a private property of a neighbor. Is that allowed? Lahat ng nabasa ko sa internet only talks about buying through a developer or an agent. What if ang bibilhin ko lang is a house and lot na hindi under ng developer or agency? Pwede ko ba yun i- loan sa Pag – ibig? Paano yun? Thanks in advance.

    Reply
    • Hi there. Thanks for the great comment. Looking at the Housing Loan Application Form, there are too many loan particulars listed including Purchase of House and Lot. I think you can find that option you are looking for at the list. There is no specifications for developers. You can download the Form via the link I included in the article. It’s free. 🙂

    • The best thing to do is verify your Pagibig account status so you’ll know what to do and what to submit before you apply for housing loan again. Magagamit naman yung SPA sa pagverify. Make sure your sibling has valid IDs or proof he/she is really your sibling. Pagibig will surely be glad to assist your housing loan queries 🙂

    • You need to be an active member of Pagibig and have contributed at least 24 months of contributions in order to be eligible to apply for housing loan. If you’re not active anymore or have not yet completed the 24 months requirements, you may resume your active status and pay lump sum to complete the required 24 months. I suggest you go to Pagibig branch when you went home in the Philippines if you wanna file your application for housing loan

      Reply
        • Yes that’s an option for those who don’t meet the required 24 months. And that is just one of the requirements for housing loan. You still need to submit and comply with the other requirements before your HL will be approved.
