What is Pag-IBIG MP2?

Pag-IBIG MP2 or Modified Pag-IBIG II is a voluntary savings program for members who want to grow their money with higher dividends than the regular Pag-IBIG fund. It’s backed by the government, making it one of the safest investment options in the Philippines.

This is ideal for:

• OFWs
• Employees
• Freelancers
• Small business owners
• Anyone with extra money who wants guaranteed returns

Updated Requirements (2025)

You must be either:

1. Active Pag‑IBIG I member
   • Must have a valid Pag‑IBIG MID number.
   • Must have made at least one monthly contribution within the past six months.
2. Former Pag‑IBIG I member (retiree/separated)
   • Must have accumulated at least 24 monthly contributions prior to retirement or separation.
   • Your previous contributions may have been withdrawn; as long as 24 months were completed, you’re eligible.
3. OFWs or voluntary members
   • Same rules as above: valid MID + one contribution in the last six months if active, or 24 months total contributions if former member.

Best Practices to Maximize Your MP2 Savings

• Leave the dividends to compound by choosing Lump Sum payout at maturity instead of annual payout.
• Pay consistently if possible, even if it’s just ₱500–₱1,000 per month.
• Start early so your 5-year maturity finishes sooner.
• Open multiple MP2 accounts if you want to separate goals.

How Much Can You Earn?

Here’s a simple sample computation:

If you invest ₱1,000/month for 5 years and let the dividends compound:

Year	Cumulative Savings	Estimated Dividends (7%)	Total Value
1	₱12,000	₱420	₱12,420
2	₱24,000	₱1,204	₱25,204
3	₱36,000	₱2,387	₱38,387
4	₱48,000	₱3,976	₱51,976
5	₱60,000	₱6,000+	₱66,000+

Note: This is just an estimate. Actual dividends vary per year.

Is MP2 Better than Banks?

Yes, if you’re looking for:

• Higher interest vs time deposits
• Safety and stability
• Medium-term goals (5 years)

But remember: MP2 is not a substitute for emergency funds. Keep at least 3–6 months of expenses in liquid savings first.

When and How to Claim MP2

You can claim your money after 5 years via:

• Over-the-counter (bring valid ID and claim form)
• Online request via Virtual Pag-IBIG

You’ll get your total savings + dividends, tax-free.
