MAKATI CITY -- Pag-IBIG Fund recognized top employers and developers in Mindanao as it held the first of its series of Stakeholder Accomplishment Reports (StAR) in Davao City on Thursday, 13 April 2023.
The Pag-IBIG StAR follows the Pag-IBIG Fund Chairman’s Report held by the agency in Pasay City in March this year, and is conducted by the agency to apprise stakeholders in each of the country’s major regions of its accomplishments and recognize them for their support.

“Pag-IBIG Fund achieved its best-performing year in 2022 as our net income, membership savings, loan releases, and payment collections reached record-highs. These were made possible mainly because of the unwavering support from our partner employers and developers. We conduct the Pag-IBIG StAR to recognize their efforts and to continue building on our good business relationship, so that we can all work together in heeding the call of President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. to uplift the lives of every Filipino worker,” said Secretary Jose Rizalino L. Acuzar, who heads the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) and the 11-member Pag-IBIG Fund Board of Trustees.

“We are happy to report that we have sustained the momentum of our banner year in 2022 to begin the year. We thank our stakeholders here in Mindanao, namely the business community for the timely remittance of their employees’ monthly savings and loan payments, our partner developers in building and delivering quality housing projects and accounts, our members who continue to save with us and choose our loan programs, and our borrowers for their prompt payment on their loan obligations. All these enable us to sustain our growth and record-high achievements,” Acosta said. (HDMF)
