QUEZON CITY, (PIA) -- Following the second State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. on Monday, July 24, the Home Development Mutual Fund (Pag-IBIG) expressed its gratitude to the President for recognizing its role in uplifting the lives of its members.
President Marcos, Jr. highlighted the role of the Pag-IBIG Fund in turning the Filipino worker’s dream of homeownership into reality through its home financing and a record-high P117B loan takeout in 2022.
“Sa pagsusumikap ng mga mamamayan, walang hindi kakayanin. Kahit ang mga matatayog na pangarap ay maabot, kasama ang inaasam na tahanan,” said Pres. Marcos, Jr.
The President also assured the continued service of Pag-IBIG Fund to help its 15 million members to purchase their own house.
“Patuloy ang serbisyo ng Pag-IBIG Fund upang makatulong sa kanyang labinlimang milyong miyembro para makabili ng bahay. Sa nakaraang taon, mahigit isang daang libo ang kumuha ng housing loan sa Pag-IBIG, na nagkaka-halaga ng 117 bilyon na piso. Ito ang pinakamataas na bilang sa buong kasaysayan ng Pag-IBIG.”
Marcos, Jr. also noted that in 2022, more than 148,000 housing units and over 30,000 certificates of eligibility of lot award were distributed in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao under the different housing programs of the government.
The President also assured that more affordable houses will be available for all, especially for the marginalized.
“Papalawigin pa natin ang ating programa sa abot-kayang pabahay, lalo na para sa mga mahihirap nating kababayan. Itong nakalipas na taon, inilunsad natin ang Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino Housing Program o 4PH.”
Meanwhile, Pag-IBIG Fund commits to continue heeding his call of providing excellent service to our fellow Filipinos under a strong and united government.
Last March of this year, President Marcos, Jr. led the ceremonial turnover of 1,380 housing units of the St. Gregory Homes Housing Project in Malabon City, as part of the 4PH program. (PIA-NCR)
