Pag-IBIG Housing Fair 2026


Pag-IBIG Fund is continuing its housing fair series in South Luzon and the Visayas, with the South Luzon fair set on April 27 and 28 at the Jose Rizal Coliseum in Calamba City, Laguna, and the Visayas fair scheduled on April 30 and May 1 at the IEC Convention Center Cebu. The two fairs will each showcase more than 20,000 housing units from partner developers and the agency's acquired properties for sale, bringing more housing options closer to Filipino workers and their families.


The housing fairs form part of the efforts of the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development and Pag-IBIG Fund, under the Marcos administration’s Expanded Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino Program, to bring housing supply, affordable financing, and government assistance closer to more Filipinos. The series follows the earlier Central Luzon leg and forms part of the broader regional rollout of housing fairs aimed at making the path to homeownership easier and more accessible.


“We continue to heed the call of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to make decent and affordable housing more accessible to Filipino families through the Expanded 4PH Program,” said DHSUD Secretary Jose Ramon P. Aliling, who also chairs the Pag-IBIG Fund Board of Trustees. “By continuing these housing fairs in South Luzon and the Visayas, Pag-IBIG Fund is bringing together leading private developers, Pag-IBIG Fund’s affordable financing programs, and government assistance in one accessible venue, so that more workers can move from simply hoping for a home to actually taking concrete steps toward owning one.”


The Housing Fairs will include socialized housing units under the Expanded 4PH Program, among them Pasinaya Heights in Laguna, where a unit priced at ₱1.404 million may be purchased at a monthly amortization of as low as ₱2,257.91 in the first year, and Asenso Yuhum Residences in Bacolod, where a 24-square-meter condominium unit priced at ₱1.059 million may be acquired at a monthly amortization of as low as ₱1,703.08 in the first year. These affordable monthly payments are made possible through Pag-IBIG Fund’s Housing Loan Program under the Expanded 4PH, which offers a subsidized 3% interest rate for the first five years of the loan term, with the possibility of extension for another five years for eligible borrowers. In addition, Pag-IBIG Fund is currently offering an Early Bird Promo, under which the first 30,000 qualified borrowers may enjoy the same 3% interest rate for the first 10 years of their loan, further easing the path to homeownership.


Meanwhile, Pag-IBIG Fund Chief Executive Officer Marilene C. Acosta emphasized that the agency’s home loans enables low-income and other qualified members, including overseas Filipino workers, to access decent housing at monthly amortizations that are 


often lower than prevailing rental costs. She added that the housing fairs make these homeownership opportunities more accessible by bringing housing options and the agency's financing assistance together in one venue.


“Through Pag-IBIG Fund’s affordable housing loan programs, many families may now find that what they would otherwise spend on rent can already be used to start paying for a home they will eventually own,” Acosta said. “This allows members not only to realize possible savings on monthly housing costs, but also to build long-term household stability, equity, and a more secure future. Through these housing fairs, we are making that opportunity more tangible by bringing housing options and financing guidance together in one venue, where members can compare choices and take clearer steps toward homeownership.”

DTI


‘There’s no need to panic’


Ipinahayag ng Department of Trade and Industry ngayong Biyernes, April 17 na walang pagtaas ng presyo para sa mga pangunahing bilihin sa mga major groceries at supermarket sa buong bansa hanggang Mayo 10, 2026.


Ayon kay DTI Secretary Cristina Roque, sumang-ayon ang mga manufacturer at retailer na ihinto ang anumang mark-up hanggang sa unang bahagi ng susunod na buwan, kasunod ng kamakailang rollback sa presyo ng mga produktong petrolyo.


Ginawa ni Roque ang anunsyo sa isang supermarket inspection sa Muntinlupa City, kung saan napag-alaman niyang ang mga presyo ng mga basic goods ay sumusunod o mas mababa pa sa suggested retail price (SRP) ng ahensya.


Aniya, “For the price cap, there’s no need for the basic necessities because we still are able to keep the prices stable up to May 10… There’s always a request (to increase prices) pero nakakaintindi rin naman ‘yung manufacturers ng needs ng mga consumers.”


Tiniyak din ni Roque sa publiko na walang panganib at hindi dapat mag-alala na magkaroon ng food shortage o kakulangan sa pagkain.


“There is enough supply so again there’s no need for them to panic, there’s no need to hoard,” saad pa ni Roque.
