Pag-IBIG rolls out 20K Mindanao housing units

More than 20,000 housing units will be offered by over 45 developers at the Mindanao Housing Fair 2026 on 12 and 13 November at the SMX Convention Center in Davao City, giving homebuyers access to discounted properties and lower financing rates.

Organized by Pag-IBIG Fund under the government’s Expanded Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino (Expanded 4PH) Program, the fair will feature housing options across different price ranges, including units intended for minimum-wage and low-income earners.

Qualified buyers of socialized housing under Expanded 4PH can avail themselves of a subsidized 3-percent interest rate. Pag-IBIG members can also access promotional housing loan rates of 4.5 percent and 5.75 percent per annum for loans of up to P10 million. The promotional rates are available until the end of the year.

Discounted Pag-IBIG acquired assets will also be offered at the fair.

Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development Secretary and Pag-IBIG Fund Board chairman Jose Ramon P. Aliling said the Davao event followed housing fairs held in Metro Manila and the Visayas in October.

Pag-IBIG Fund chief executive officer Marilene C. Acosta said agency personnel would be available to guide members through the available properties and financing options.

The fair comes as Pag-IBIG reports an increase in housing loans. From January to October 2026, the agency financed 78,410 homes worth P127.44 billion, 15 percent more than the number of units financed during the same period last year.

Of these, 12,969 were socialized housing units worth P14.40 billion, benefiting minimum-wage and low-income earners. Financing for socialized housing increased by 175 percent from the same period in 2025.

The agency attributed the increase to the expanded reach of affordable housing opportunities under the government’s Expanded 4PH program.
