The Department of Education (DepEd) and Pag-IBIG Fund teamed up to raise awareness on Pag-IBIG’s housing loan programs and equip teachers and non-teaching personnel with knowledge on home financing and ownership.
Spearheaded by DepEd–Bureau of Human Resource and Organizational Development (BHROD), the webinar “Gabay sa Pag-IBIG Housing” highlighted existing and new housing loan programs of the Pag-IBIG Fund and how teachers and non-teaching personnel can avail them.
“We believe that our personnel should be entitled to understanding the salient features of the Housing Loan Programs being offered by Pag-IBIG.”
“We believe that our personnel should be entitled to understanding the salient features of the Housing Loan Programs being offered by Pag-IBIG and identify which programs will suit their housing requirements,” Secretary Leonor Briones said.
“Recognizing Pag-IBIG Fund’s crucial role in providing support to our employees, helping them acquire their own homes will help support, uphold, and secure their lives,” Briones added.
The webinar focused on two topics under the Pag-IBIG Housing Loan Programs, namely the agency’s End- User Home Financing, and Group Sale for the Repurchase of Pag-IBIG Fund Real and Other Properties Acquired (ROPA) Programs.
“We all know that housing has a crucial role in any strategy of economic and social well–being. Adequate shelter is one of an individual’s basic needs and decent housing is a universal goal. Adequate housing accommodation is one of the essentials of a good life, and one of the requirements of a happy, efficient and satisfied workforce,” BHROD Director Atty. Anne Rachel Miguel shared.
“We hope this webinar will serve as a catalyst to fulfill your cherished dream of owning a house and lot you can proudly call your own.”
“For those of you who are planning to acquire your own homes, we highly encourage you to give your full attention to this webinar and take time to study Pag-IBIG’s current housing projects and interest rates, which are among the most competitive in the real estate market, hoping this webinar will serve as a catalyst to fulfill your cherished dream of owning a house and lot you can proudly call your own,” Miguel added.
