MANILA, Philippines- Sinabi ng Home Development Mutual Fund o Pag-IBIG na nakapag-save ang mga miyembro nito ng P79.9 bilyon noong 2022, isang record-high savings ng mga miyembro nito sa loob ng isang taon.
Sa isang kalatas, sinabi ng Pag-IBIG na may P80 bilyong piso ang na-save ng mga miyembro nito noong nakaraang taon, itinuturing na pinakamataas ng ahensiya sa nakalipas na 42 taon.
Lumago ito ng 25% o P16.2 bilyon mula sa P63.7 bilyon na nakolekta noong 2021.
Bahagi ng total savings ay ang Pag-IBIG Regular Savings ng ahensiya, na tumaas ng 6% mula sa P37.71 bilyon noong 2021 hanggang P40.06 bilyon noong 2022.
“The sustained growth in Pag-IBIG Members’ Savings collections has been truly remarkable. It denotes our members’ trust and confidence in our programs, and our capacity to manage each hard-earned peso they have saved with us,” ayon kay Housing Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar, pinuno ng Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) at 11-member Pag-IBIG Fund Board of Trustees.
“And, as our collections remain strong, we remain able to finance and maintain the low interest rates of our loan programs. These are among our many efforts in adhering to the call of President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. towards advancing the welfare of our fellow Filipinos,” ayon kay Acuzar.
Sinabi naman Pag-IBIG Fund CEO Marilene Acosta, ang MP2 Savings ng ahensiya ay nagpapatuloy para isulong ang paglago ng savings ng mga miyembro nito.

“We are happy that we continue to gain the trust of our members, as shown by the record-high amounts that they have saved with us in 2022, as well as in the past years. This shows their growing appreciation of the value in saving with Pag-IBIG Fund,” ayon kay Acosta.
“That is why we remain committed in responsibly and prudently managing their savings, so that we can provide them the best possible returns,” dagdag na pahayag nito. Kris Jose
