So, you finally decided to ditch the shoebox and upgrade to a legit home? Adulting, much?
But hold on there, Maverick. Buying a house isn't exactly a walk in the park (unless the park you're talking about has a real estate agent handing out free houses. In which case, hit me up, because I'm moving in).
This is where Pag-IBIG, your friendly neighborhood home loan hero, swoops in like a... well, a really helpful hero. They offer, dare I say, amazing housing loan options, especially for us Filipinos. But applying for one can feel a bit like navigating a jungle gym in the dark. Fear not, intrepid home seeker! This guide will be your trusty flashlight (or, you know, phone with the flashlight app).
