The partnership recently inked by Pag-IBIG Fund and Lalamove has brought partner drivers of the leading on-demand delivery platform one step closer to reaching their dreams of financial security and home ownership.

Pag-IBIG and Lalamove signed a memorandum of agreement that ensures partner drivers of the
same-day delivery app gain access to the many benefits and services offered by Pag-IBIG Fund, which include opportunities for high-yield savings, as well as access to cash and housing loans.

By being Pag-IBIG members, partner drivers may now be able to avail of affordable home financing under the government's Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino Housing, or 4PH, program which aims to make available 6 million housing units to underserved Filipino families by 2028.

"Pag-IBIG Fund's primary objectives have always been centered on helping Filipinos earn from their savings and to attain their dream homes. We laud Lalamove for actively offering these benefits to its partner drivers. This is hopefully the first of many partnerships of this kind," Pag-IBIG Fund chief executive officer Marilene C. Acosta.

For Lalamove Philippines managing director Djon Nacario, this partnership solidifies the goal of both Pag-IBIG and Lalamove to make accessibility tangible for partner drivers.

"This partnership with Pag-IBIG Fund is part of our objective to continuously empower our partner drivers and help them through meaningful partnerships like this in turning their dreams into reality for themselves and their families," he said.

With the partnership, Lalamove's partner drivers can meet with Pag-IBIG Fund personnel, aptly called Lingkod Pag-IBIG, in Lalamove's offices and through special events in Metro Manila, Pampanga and Cebu to aid those looking to enjoy Pag-IBIG Fund's benefits of savings and home financing.

Nacario said he is looking forward to "more partner drivers who will enjoy their improved quality of life through this partnership."

"We now have a lot of partner drivers across Luzon and in Cebu who fulfill same-day motorcycle and truck delivery. This community of hardworking individuals deserves nothing but the best services, and this is something that we will continue to do for them," he said.
