In a statement they released, Pag-IBIG said the latest
figure was only P2.72 billion shy of its income targets for the year. It also
said loan releases from its End-User Home Financing Program exceeded the
nine-month target by P1.42 billion, and efforts to update past due accounts
resulted in P2.34 billion in an additional income.
These allowed the state-run corporation to earn P16.80
billion in interest income on home loans during the first three quarters,
representing an 11-percent surge from the same period last year.
Pag IBIG is very active in the promotion of its housing loan
program which is in support of President Rodrigo Duterte’s call to provide
Filipinos, mainly targeting the low-income earners to fulfill their dream to
have a home of their own.
“Pag-IBIG will play a very big role in achieving our target
of having 250,000 housing units a year. Other shelter agencies, like the NHA
(National Housing Authority) and SHFC (Social Housing Finance Corp.), will
address the needs of informal-settler families, or ISFs. Pag-IBIG will take
care of the formal sector, which comprises about 60 percent to 70 percent of
our housing deliverables,” Pag-IBIG Chairman Eduardo del Rosario said.
In addition to increased availments of home loans, Pag-IBIG
said its short-term loan program also contributed to its end-third quarter
income growth, with active accounts and new applications earning an interest
income of P4.96 billion. *
Improved market conditions during the period also allowed
the Fund to surpass its January-to-September targets in fund management,
resulting in an investment income of P2.66 billion.
Home Development Mutual
Fund CEO Acmad Rizaldy Moti expressed optimism that 2017 will be another banner
year for the agency.
“We’ve been hitting our quarter targets this year. I am
confident that we will surpass our 2016 performance. This means that our
members are assured that Pag-IBIG Fund remains very stable, and continues to
become even stronger. This also means that they can continue to expect better
benefits and an increase in dividend returns for their savings,” he said.
