Pag-ibig Calamity Loan Online Application Guide 2022

The Philippines is susceptible to natural disasters. These include volcanic eruptions, storm surges, floods, and landslides, among others.

As a result, Filipinos are vulnerable to devastating accidents and extreme suffering and losses, particularly in the impacted regions. Because of this, the Pag-IBIG Fund, aside from its Multi-Purpose Loan, also offers Calamity Loan for its qualified members (whether you are self-employed or not) affected by natural disasters with prompt financial aid. Let's take a closer look at the loan program, the requirements, and the process of applying online.

What is Pag-IBIG Fund Calamity Loan?

In addition to Pag-IBIG MPL, there is a Calamity Loan available to members of the Pag-IBIG Fund who are in areas declared by the Office of the President or the Sangguniang Bayan that need financial aid due to a calamity or natural disaster.

The Pag-lBIG Fund's Calamity Loan Program is confined to man-made events and any of the following naturally occurring disasters and hazards that include the following:

• Earthquake

• El Nino and La Nina Phenomena

• Landslide

• Storm Surge

• Tornado

• Tsunami

• Typhoon

• Volcanic Eruption

To determine whether the Fund will open the program to cover the calamity in the event that it is not caused by natural disasters or geological processes, an internal evaluation will be conducted upon Board permission.

In addition, the Pag-IBIG Calamity Loan must be availed by eligible members within ninety (90) days after the proclamation of a state of calamity by the Office of the President or the Sangguniang Bayan for their area of residence.

How to be eligible for a Pag-IBIG Fund Calamity Loan?

In order to be eligible for the loan, you must have the following:

•  At least 24 months of membership savings in Pag-IBIG Regular Savings
• Active member with at least one (1) monthly contributions with the last six (6) months prior to the date of loan application
• Account must not be in default if there is a current PagIBIG Housing or Multi-Purpose loan MPL and/or a Calamity Loan
• Proof of income

On top of this, the borrower must also be a Filipino national and must reside in an area that has been designated a State of Calamity by the President's Office or the Local Sangunian authority.

How much Pag-IBIG Calamity Loan amount can I borrow?

Pag-IBIG members may borrow up to 80% of their total regular savings, which includes their monthly payments, their employer's contributions, and cumulative profits earned.

Your entire Pag-IBIG Regular Savings less your outstanding Multi-Purpose and/or Calamity Loan balance will be used to calculate the amount of loan you will get if you have any outstanding balance for Pag-IBIG Fund MPL and/or Calamity Loan.

Keep in mind that the Pag-IBIG Calamity Loan has an annual interest rate of 5.95% per annum.
