The Home Development Mutual Fund, or Pag-IBIG Fund, has expanded the benefits of its loyalty card program through a partnership with Landers Superstore, giving members access to exclusive shopping and membership offers aimed at stretching household budgets.

Under a memorandum of agreement signed Friday, Pag-IBIG Loyalty Card and Loyalty Card Plus holders may avail themselves of special Landers membership promotions from 1 August to 31 October at participating branches nationwide.

Pag-IBIG Fund chief executive officer Marilene C. Acosta said the partnership aims to help members maximize their purchasing power through discounts on everyday needs while encouraging them to save more.

50% discount

“With Loyalty Card Plus, there are many partner merchants of Pag-IBIG Fund. If you use it, you will get discounts,” Acosta said. “Your purchasing power will be greater. Instead of buying one item, with a discount of 50 percent you can buy two.”

She said the savings generated from the program could also be redirected to the members’ Pag-IBIG savings.

“For all the Pag-IBIG Fund members, this is the benefit that we are bringing to you,” Acosta said.

Acosta said partnerships with the private sector enable the agency to extend benefits beyond its core housing and savings programs.

“We can’t give all the benefits if we don’t have partners like Landers,” she said.
