Step 1: Be a Pag-IBIG member. Duh!
This might sound obvious, but you'd be surprised how many people skip this crucial step. Think of it like trying to enter a club without a membership card - you're just gonna get the bouncer's stink eye.
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.![]()
Step 2: Figure out which loan you need.
Pag-IBIG offers different loans, each with its own flair (and interest rates, but let's not dwell on the boring stuff):
- Multi-Purpose Loan (MPL): Need cash for that dream vacation to the "island in the sun"? Or maybe your pet goldfish needs a gold-plated tank? The MPL is your versatile buddy.
- Housing Loan: This one's pretty self-explanatory. It's like your knight in shining armor, helping you conquer your dream home. ️
QuickTip: Focus on what feels most relevant.![]()
Step 3: Check if you qualify.
Don't be that friend who shows up to the karaoke bar without knowing a single song. Do your research! Pag-IBIG has specific requirements for each loan, so make sure you meet them before getting your hopes up higher than a kite in a hurricane. ?️
