Pag-IBIG posts P2.73-B investment income

Pag-IBIG Fund recorded a 50-percent increase in investment income in the first four months of 2025, highlighting its prudent financial management and ability to sustain members’ savings and housing needs.

From January to April, the agency made P2.73 billion in investment income — up from P1.81 billion in the same period in 2024 — driven by strategic placements in bonds, debt securities, money market instruments, equities, and investment properties.

Pag-IBIG CEO Marilene C. Acosta said the agency’s investment portfolio topped P158.15 billion as of April 2025, a 42-percent increase from the P111.39 billion a year ago. This growth reflected the sound management of Pag-IBIG Fund’s total assets, which surpassed P1.11 trillion earlier this month.

The latest data showed Pag-IBIG’s earning assets consist of P856.96 billion in housing-related assets, P77.94 billion in short-term loans, and P158.12 billion in income-generating investments. The remaining P20 million accounts for other assets such as property, equipment, cash, and intangible assets.

“Our investments play a vital role in providing our members with the best possible returns,” Acosta said. “We prioritize housing investments, maintain funding for short-term loans, and place remaining funds in secure, income-generating instruments.”

“This balanced, disciplined strategy helps us protect our members’ trust while delivering meaningful benefits the Lingkod Pag-IBIG way,” she added.

Meanwhile, the agency formally welcomed new Housing Secretary Jose Ramon P. Aliling as the chairperson of Pag-IBIG’s 11-member board of trustees. His appointment is expected to further strengthen the Fund’s alignment with the Marcos administration’s housing and institutional development agenda.
