Pag-IBIG Fund home loan releases posted double digit growth in the first half of 2026, with socialized housing financing more than doubling under President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s flagship Expanded Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino Program (Expanded 4PH). Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development Secretary Jose Ramon P. Aliling said the strong results reflect the government’s continuing efforts to make affordable home financing more accessible, particularly to minimum wage and low income Filipinos.
Aliling, who also leads the 11 member Pag-IBIG Fund Board of Trustees, reported that from January to June, socialized home loans extended to minimum wage and low income members reached ₱6.70 billion, up 118% from a year ago, while the number of units financed climbed 132% to 6,601. Socialized housing loans now account for 15% of total units financed by the agency, underscoring the growing share of low income borrowers in Pag-IBIG’s overall lending.
This growth helped drive the agency’s total home loan releases to ₱69.19 billion for 43,051 units in the first half of the year, up 15% in amount and 9% in units financed compared with the ₱60.25 billion released in the same period last year.
