SEDPI promotes Pag-IBIG to thousands of Filipinos in the Philippines and overseas

SEDPI promotes Pag-IBIG to thousands of Filipinos in the Philippines and overseas

Home Development Mutual Fund more popularly known as Pag-IBIG fund seeks to improve the quality of life of the Filipino by providing them sufficient shelter, an integrated nationwide provident savings, and housing through the mobilization of funds for shelter finance. It is mandatory for all Filipinos with monthly income of at least PhP1,000 to become Pag-IBIG Fund members. In addition, it is not only for formally-employed but more importantly for self-employed and those from the informal sector.

SEDPI recognizes the value of the Pag-IBIG Fund membership and the benefits of savings and home financing it provides for its members. Its members consist of self-employed individuals in the informal sector with need for improved social protection and access to decent and affordable housing. This led SEDPI to agree to act as conduit through which Pag-IBIG Fund membership shall be provided to its members.

Pag-IBIG Fund and SEDPI agreed to jointly work in providing Pag-IBIG Fund membership for the self-employed members of SEDPI towards providing them access to provident savings and decent and affordable shelter financing through Pag-IBIG Fund’s programs. In fulfillment to the memorandum of agreement, SEDPI conducted series of orientations to 1,554 participants from the informal sector and overseas Filipino; and produced vlogs and articles promoted in various social media channels that reached nearly 2 million audience. 

Series of orientations to informal sector 

Pag-IBIG became part of SEDPI’s Social Welfare Protection Program (SWePP), a consolidated microinsurance and social security program which aims to provide security and financial safety net to members through adoption of various insurance schemes. For those with maximum monthly compensation of PhP5,000, monthly savings with Pag-IBIG Fund is PhP100. 

With the partnership, SEDPI members only need to pay PhP20 per month or PhP5 per week. Contributions were paid during weekly group meetings held within the barangay where the members live that saved them costs in visiting the nearest Pag-IBIG Fund branch, which is one town away, at best.

As part of its damayan program, beneficiaries receive PhP4,000 instant abuloy when a SEDPI member passes away. With the partnership, SEDPI explained to its members that when they register with Pag-IBIG, their family will be able to receive additional PhP6,000 death benefit, for a total of PhP10,000.

Financial literacy trainings abroad 

SEDPI also conducted training events to promote Pag-IBIG abroad. A total of 895 Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) attended these trainings in different countries. 

The events became an opportunity to encourage Filipinos to patronize Pag-IBIG and realize the benefits it offers. SEDPI provided 30 minutes for a Pag-IBIG representative to talk if they have representatives in the posts abroad.

In a video posted by SEDPI president Vince Rapisura on social media, an OFW shared his inspiring story of saving through MP2 and accessing housing loan. The table below shows the locations of SEDPI’s trainings abroad where Pag-IBIG was promoted, with the number of participants for each event.
