Low interest rates on housing loans will be maintained until the end of 2025 as part of ongoing efforts to make homeownership more affordable and accessible for Filipino workers, the Pag-IBIG Fund announced.

“We are keeping our housing loan interest rates low to help more Filipino workers achieve their dream of homeownership,” said Secretary Jose Ramon P. Aliling, Chairperson of the 11-member Pag-IBIG Fund Board of Trustees and Secretary of the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD).

Under current terms, Pag-IBIG Fund offers housing loans at interest rates as low as 5.75% per annum for a one-year repricing period and 6.25% for a three-year repricing period. Qualified low-income members may also avail of special rates under the agency’s Affordable Housing Program to purchase socialized housing units at just 3% per annum. Members can enjoy loan terms of up to 30 years, helping keep monthly amortizations within reach.

“This forms part of DHSUD’s renewed direction to expand the Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino Program, in line with the vision of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to build a Bagong Pilipinas where every Filipino has access to safe, affordable, and resilient communities. By keeping rates low, we make monthly amortizations more affordable, enabling more of our members, especially those who are minimum-wage earners and from low-income sectors to finally move into homes they can truly afford.”

Pag-IBIG Fund Chief Executive Officer Marilene C. Acosta said the agency’s sound financial position makes the continued low rates possible.

“Pag-IBIG Fund’s prudent fiscal management, strong collections and high-performing loan portfolio continue to keep us financially sound, enabling us to finance our members’ housing needs without external borrowing,” Acosta said.

In the first quarter alone, the agency released ₱30.22 billion in home loans, benefiting over 20,000 members nationwide. This announcement builds on Pag-IBIG Fund’s strong performance in 2025. Its total assets surpassed ₱1.1 trillion as of 31 March 2025, reflecting its robust financial standing and capacity to sustain long-term support for affordable housing finance.
