How to Apply a Pag-IBIG Loan?

Applying for a Pag-IBIG housing loan is a straightforward process, but it requires preparation to ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements and have the necessary documents. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to apply for a Pag-IBIG housing loan:

1. Check Your Eligibility

Before applying, ensure you meet the basic eligibility requirements for a Pag-IBIG housing loan:

  • Pag-IBIG membership: You must have made at least 24 monthly contributions. If you haven’t reached this number, you can make a lump sum payment to cover the required contributions.

  • Age: You must be not more than 65 years old at the date of loan application and not more than 70 years old at loan maturity.

  • Income: You must have sufficient gross monthly income to cover the loan, and your debt-to-income ratio must be within Pag-IBIG’s guidelines.

  • Good credit standing: You should have a good credit history and no outstanding Pag-IBIG loans in default.

2. Prepare the Required Documents

Gather the necessary documents for your Pag-IBIG housing loan application. These may vary depending on whether you’re employed locally, self-employed, or an OFW. Here are the typical requirements:

Basic Requirements:

  • Housing Loan Application Form: You can download the form from the Pag-IBIG website or get it from a Pag-IBIG branch.

  • Photocopy of at least two valid IDs: Government-issued IDs such as a driver’s license, passport, or SSS ID.

  • Proof of Income:

    • Locally employed: Latest 1 month payslip and Certificate of Employment (COE) indicating your gross monthly income.

    • Self-employed: Audited Financial Statements and ITR (Income Tax Return) for the last year, business permits or DTI registration.

    • OFWs: Latest employment contract or Certificate of Employment, with translated documents if necessary, and remittance records.

  • Marriage contract (if applicable) or birth certificate of dependents (if applying for a larger loan based on household income).

  • Proof of Pag-IBIG contributions: Your Pag-IBIG membership number and proof of your contributions.

Property-Related Documents:

  • Contract to Sell or Deed of Sale: If you’re purchasing a property, these documents are required to show proof of the sale.

  • Lot Plan with vicinity map: This shows the location and boundaries of the property.

  • Updated tax declaration: This helps verify the legal status of the property.

3. Submit Your Application

You can submit your application to any Pag-IBIG branch or service center. Here's the process:

Steps:

  1. Complete the Housing Loan Application Form.

  2. Submit the required documents to a Pag-IBIG branch or via the Pag-IBIG website (if applying online).

  3. Pay the processing fee: As of 2023, the processing fee is ₱1,000, of which ₱500 is paid upon submission, and the remaining ₱500 is deducted from your loan proceeds.

  4. Once the application is received, Pag-IBIG will issue a Notice of Loan Approval (NOLA) if your loan is approved. The notice will include the loan terms, interest rate, and other relevant details.

4. Property Appraisal

Pag-IBIG will conduct an appraisal of the property to determine its current market value. This step is necessary to ensure the loan amount is appropriate for the property's value.

  • The appraisal fee (usually around ₱2,000 to ₱5,000) will be collected from you during this process.

  • Pag-IBIG's internal appraisers will inspect the property, and the results will be used to finalize your loan amount.

5. Loan Approval and Release

After the appraisal and review of your documents, Pag-IBIG will notify you of the loan approval.

Steps for Loan Release:

  1. Sign the loan documents: Once approved, you’ll need to sign the Loan Agreement, Promissory Note, and other required documents at a Pag-IBIG branch.

  2. Submit post-approval requirements, which may include additional documents like TCT/CCT (Title Certificate) with an encumbrance in favor of Pag-IBIG, tax declaration, occupancy permit, etc.

  3. Release of loan proceeds: Once all conditions are satisfied, the loan proceeds will be released directly to the seller (if you’re purchasing a property) or to your bank account (for construction or home improvement loans).

6. Monthly Payments

Your monthly amortization will start after the loan is released. Pag-IBIG offers multiple payment options, including:

  • Auto-debit arrangement with your bank.

  • Over-the-counter payments at Pag-IBIG branches or partner banks.

  • Online payments via Pag-IBIG's virtual service or payment partners.

  • Remittance centers for OFWs.


Applying for a Pag-IBIG housing loan is a simple process that requires you to meet eligibility criteria, gather necessary documents, and follow the loan application steps outlined by Pag-IBIG. The loan offers affordable rates, flexible terms, and accessibility for a wide range of borrowers, including OFWs and low-income earners.
