5 Easy Steps to Become a Pag-IBIG Member

Apart from being a member of the SSS, you will also be required by your employers to submit your Pag-IBIG membership number.  Pag-IBIG, or the Home Development Mutual Fund is a Government-owned and controlled corporation responsible for the administration of affordable shelter financing to Pinoys.

Like SSS, there are different types of membership under Pag-IBIG.  You could be an employed member, self-paying (or voluntary), self-employed, or an OFW.  Each type of membership has different sets of membership requirements and contribution rates.

If you have not yet signed up with the Pag-IBIG Fund, today’s blog is for you.  Read and share!

Once your Pag-IBIG number is issued, your employer may begin remitting your monthly contribution (deducted from your salary) to the agency.
