From bustling street corners in Manila to suburban neighborhoods, this news is quickly becoming one of the hottest viral trends in housing finance discussions.

Why Pag-IBIG Raised the Loan Ceiling
Announced recently, the Pag-IBIG Fund raised its maximum housing loan amount per borrower to ₱10 million. This move aims to support middle-income earners, address oversupply of condominium units in urban areas, and align with the Expanded 4PH housing program.
Qualified members can now access longer-term financing (up to 30 years) with competitive rates as low as 5.75% depending on the fixing period. This complements existing subsidized rates for socialized housing.
Who Benefits from the Pag-IBIG Loan Limit Increase?

- Buyers targeting higher-value properties in Metro Manila and other cities
“With the higher ₱10-million loan ceiling, Pag-IBIG Fund can now serve more members... This move allows us to widen access to home financing across more income segments.” — DHSUD Secretary Jose Ramon P. Aliling
