Meeting held last 29 June 2009, the following Guidelines Implementing the Pag-IBIG
Interest Subsidy Program for Socialized Housing Loan Borrowers are hereby
issued:
A. OBJECTIVES
1. To provide members of the Fund with ample opportunities to improve their quality
of life;
2. To make the Pag-IBIG end-user housing loan program more affordable for low-
income borrowers;
B. COVERAGE
C. ELIGIBILITY
To qualify for the Pag-IBIG Interest Subsidy Program, a member must satisfy the
following requirements:
2. Has not acquired a house or availed of a housing loan from the Pag-IBIG Fund or
from any agency or financial institution;
a. Purchase of residential lot not exceeding One Hundred and Sixty Thousand
Pesos (P160,000.00) in selling price;

4. Has an annual gross family income not exceeding One Hundred and Eighty
Thousand Pesos (180,000.00).
D. INTEREST SUBSIDY
Beneficiaries shall be entitled to an interest subsidy of 1.5% per annum for the first
five (5) years of the loan term.
E. MECHANICS
1. Five hundred (500) beneficiaries monthly shall be chosen by raffle from among
qualified borrowers evaluated from the preceding month/s. Allocation of
beneficiaries for the NCR Housing Operations Sector and regional branches shall
be determined annually based on membership level.
2. Beneficiaries shall be notified by registered mail and phone call. Their names
shall likewise be posted at announcement boards in all HDMF branches and at
the Fund’s official website.
4. In case an applicant is drawn after he/she has made several payments, his/her
loan payments shall be recomputed; the resulting excess payments shall be
reallocated and applied in accordance with his/her preference, either as advance
payments or to apply the said amount to the principal.
F. DEFAULT
G. EFFECT OF DEFAULT
In the event of default, all subsequent subsidies to be granted to the borrower shall
be forfeited. Hence, notwithstanding any payment of the borrower to update his
account, the amortization due for the month following the date of default and every
month thereafter shall be reverted to the regular monthly amortization rate.
H. IMPLEMENTATION
An aggregate loan value of Two Billion and Four Hundred Million Pesos
(P2,400,000,000.00) shall be allocated to finance the housing loans of six thousand
2
beneficiaries annually. This program shall be implemented for the next five (5) years
from effectivity of these guidelines.
I. SUNSET PROVISION
The program shall be implemented for five years from the date of effectivity of these
guidelines. Extension of the program shall be subject to a “sunset review”, taking
into consideration the viability of the Fund and prevailing market conditions.
