by Info @Brand Zone | November 30, 2023

Pag-IBIG Fund’s service innovations using digital and social media, publication to communicate its 40-year legacy, and excellence in leadership won three (3) Gold Stevie Awards during the recently held International Business (Stevie) Awards in Rome, Italy and the Stevie Awards for Women in Business in New York City, USA.

Winning two Gold Stevie Awards at the International Business Awards held in Rome were the Pag-IBIG Fund Official Facebook Page and The Lingkod Pag-IBIG Coffee Table Book. The agency’s social media page was hailed as the Most Innovative Facebook Page for reflecting Pag-IBIG Fund’s efforts in advancing digital engagement among members, while its coffee table book was lauded in the Company History Publication category for ably showcasing the dedication of agency’s workforce which shaped its 40-year history.

Pag-IBIG Fund Chief Executive Officer Marilene C. Acosta capped the agency’s three-gold haul by winning the Gold Stevie for Female Executive of the Year at the Stevie Awards for Women in Business in New York City. This recognition comes after Acosta was recognized last month as a Circle of Excellence Awardee, Woman Leader of the Year, by the 2023 Asia CEO Awards.

The awards bring the number of local and international recognitions gained by Pag-IBIG Fund for the year 2023 to ten. These wins span various categories which include service, communications and leadership excellence.

Earlier this year, Pag-IBIG Fund’s service excellence was lauded in the international stage as its mobile service branch, the Lingkod Pag-IBIG on Wheels, won at the Association of Development Financing Institutions in Asia and the Pacific (ADFIAP) Awards held in Kazakhstan, and the ASEAN Social Security Association (ASSA) Awards held in Malaysia. The mobile branch’s vital role in extending Pag-IBIG Fund benefits to all Filipino workers across all sectors, and in promoting financial inclusion and development, made it stand out in the Asia-Pacific region. Pag-IBIG Fund also won a Silver Award for the Best Government PR Team at the ASEAN Public Relations Network (APRN) PR Excellence Awards in Vietnam.

At the heart of all these achievements is Pag-IBIG Fund's guiding principle, Tapat na Serbisyo, Mula sa Puso – a promise to provide honest and heartfelt service to the Filipino worker. This year's wins are not just awards but affirmations of the agency’s enduring commitment to serve with integrity, professionalism, and excellence.

Pag-IBIG collections up to P67B in Q3 as more members increase savings

by Info @Brand Zone | October 24, 2023

Pag-IBIG Fund members collectively saved P66.73 billion during the first nine months of 2023, up by P6.3 billion or 10% year-on-year, as more members contributed more than the required Pag-IBIG monthly savings, agency officials announced Monday (23 Oct).

"We are happy that more Filipino workers are saving with Pag-IBIG Fund. The trust and confidence in our savings programs continue to grow as proven by our record-high members’ savings collections in January to September 2023. This is good news because the increase in the savings collected shall allow us to finance the increasing demand for our home loans and short-term loans, and thus allow us to serve more members. This is in line with the directive of President Marcos to provide financial access to better the future of every Filipino,” said Secretary Jose Rizalino L. Acuzar, who heads the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) and the 11-member Pag-IBIG Fund Board of Trustees.

Pag-IBIG Fund Chief Executive Officer Marilene C. Acosta, meanwhile, noted that the collections from the agency’s mandatory Regular Savings and voluntary MP2 Savings both increased during the period and have posted new record-highs.

Collections from the Pag-IBIG Regular Savings amounted to P31.6 billion, an increase of 7% from the P29.6 billion from the same period last year. The amount includes P7.69 billion in upgraded savings from members, or savings which members have voluntarily entrusted with Pag-IBIG Fund on top of the required monthly savings. The agency’s MP2 Savings, on the other hand, sustained its popularity as collections reached P35.13 billion, a 14% increase from the P30.81 billion collected as of September last year.

“The record-high in members’ savings we collected from January to September this year shows the wider appreciation of our members on the benefits of saving with Pag-IBIG Fund. We are grateful that the biggest growth areas in our savings collections come from our voluntary MP2 Savings and from members who save more than their mandated monthly savings,” Acosta said.

“We recognize that our members’ trust in our programs stems from how we have gained competitive returns on their savings over the past many years. We highly value that trust and that is why we assure them that we shall continue to prudently manage their hard-earned savings. That is the Lingkod Pag-IBIG way,” Acosta added
