Pag-IBIG Fund has committed to further ramp up its services and to help Filipinos realize their dream of owning a home after it was named one of “The Philippines’ Best Employers” for the second consecutive year based on a nationwide survey of employees from private companies and government agencies.

The 43-year-old government financial institution bested most employers as it ranked 35th out of 300 companies in a newspaper survey in cooperation with the market research and business intelligence portal Statista.

“We are truly honored to be included among the best employers in the Philippines for the second consecutive year. This highlights our commitment to creating a positive workplace culture for our employees, which ultimately drives us to perform our mission of providing accessible savings and affordable housing for Filipino workers. This is in line with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s call to strengthen the delivery of public service,” Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar said.

Peer rating

The Best Philippine Employers 2025 publication noted that the survey gathered insights from thousands of employees who rated their own companies, as well as other organizations within their industry, based on their willingness to recommend these employers to friends and family.

Pag-IBIG Fund ranked 5th among government agencies and claimed the top spot among Government-Owned and Controlled Corporations (GOCCs) included in the list, further highlighting its reputation and credence among public sector workers.

Pag-IBIG Fund chief executive officer Marilene Acosta highlighted the agency’s remarkable improvement from 160th place in last year’s ranking to 35th this year.

“On behalf of the Pag-IBIG Fund management, we are deeply grateful to be included in the list as it attests to our employees’ satisfaction and trust in Pag-IBIG. I am also thrilled to note that for this year’s ranking, we have received a score of 8.6 out of 10, which propelled us 125 places further and improved from 160th place last year to 35th place this year. We believe that by investing in our employees — whom we proudly call ‘Lingkod Pag-IBIG’, we can better serve the financial needs of our more than 16 million members,” Acosta added.
