Hello, Bulgarians! Inihayag kamakailan ng Top executive ng Pag-IBIG Fund na ang ahensya ay naglaan ng P3 bilyong calamity loan funds para sa mga miyembro sa mga lugar na nasalanta ng kalamidad, kabilang ang mga naapektuhan ng malakas na lindol na tumama sa North Luzon.
“Pag-IBIG Fund has allocated calamity loan funds to help affected members in Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley and the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) recover from the devastation caused by last week's earthquake. We are also working closely with our fellow government agencies, as directed by President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., so that we can maximize our collective assets towards providing for the needs of our fellow Filipinos affected in these areas,” pahayag ni newly appointed Secretary Jose Rizalino L. Acuzar ng Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development at Chairperson of 11-member Pag-IBIG Fund Board of Trustees.
Sa ilalim ng Pag-IBIG Calamity Loan, ang mga kwalipikadong miyembro ay maaaring humiram ng hanggang 80% ng kanilang kabuuang Pag-IBIG Savings, na binubuo ng kanilang buwanang kontribusyon, employer’s contribution, at naipon na dibidendo. At sa pagsasaalang-alang sa kalagayan ng mga miyembro, ang calamity loan ay may rate na 5.95% kada taon na siyang pinakamababang rate sa merkado. Ang utang ay babayaran sa loob ng hanggang tatlong taon, na may palugit na dalawang buwan upang ang paunang pagbabayad ay dapat bayaran lamang sa ikatlong buwan pagkatapos ma-release ang utang. Maaaring mag-apply ang mga kwalipikadong borrower para sa calamity loan sa loob ng 90 araw mula sa petsa kung kailan idineklara ang isang lugar sa ilalim ng state of calamity.
Samantala, sinabi naman ni Pag-IBIG Fund Chief Executive Officer Acmad Rizaldy P. Moti na ipinakalat na ng ahensya ang mobile branch nito, ang Lingkod Pag-IBIG On-Wheels at nagtayo ng mga offsite service desk para tumanggap ng mga aplikasyon para sa calamity loan mula sa mga miyembro, gayundin ng insurance claims mula sa kasalukuyang Pag-IBIG Housing Loan borrowers na ang mga ari-arian ay maaaring nasira ng mga pagyanig.
“In the wake of calamities, we are aware that our members need to have immediate access to our benefits and services. Immediately after the earthquake was felt, we deployed our mobile branch – the Lingkod Pag-IBIG-On-Wheels – to go around Ilocos Region, Cagayan Valley and the CAR and provide services where it’s needed most. In coordination with local government units, we have also set up on-the-ground service desks near evacuation areas and government centers in these regions so that members can easily access us. Our Virtual Pag-IBIG also remains ready to accept calamity loan applications online from members who have access to internet service. And, even while our own offices and personnel in earthquake-hit areas have also been affected, our branches are open and ready to receive calamity loan applications and housing loan insurance claims. Our members can be assured that during difficult times, Pag-IBIG will always be there to help them,” pahayag ni Moti.
