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
Why Invest in Pag-IBIG MP2?
Here are a few good reasons why Pinoys choose MP2:
- High dividends: Historically ranges from 6% to 8% annually
- Government-guaranteed
- Tax-free earnings
- 5-year maturity term
- Flexible contribution—no monthly commitment required
- Can be claimed as lump sum or rolled over
Updated Requirements (2025)
Before you invest, you need to be a:
- Pag-IBIG Fund Member with at least one monthly contribution
- With at least PHP 5,000 in total savings in the Regular Pag-IBIG Fund

You can pay via:

- Banks like AUB (without logging in), LANDBANK, or PNB
3. Start Contributing

- Monthly
- Quarterly
- Occasionally (no strict schedule)
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.
Final Thoughts
Pag-IBIG MP2 is not just a savings tool—it’s a simple, low-risk investment that can help Filipinos grow their money passively. Whether you’re an employee, freelancer, or OFW, this program is worth considering especially if you want something more stable than stocks or crypto.
Just remember: Consistency matters. Even ₱500/month can go a long way over 5 years.

Hi Raisa,
Voluntary savings program ang MP2. Gaya ng nakasaad sa article, you need to be an active Pag-IBIG member (meaning naghuhulog ka nung regular Pag-IBIG savings program).
Since di ka member ng Pag-IBIG, need mo muna magpa-voluntary member sa Pag-IBIG at maghulog ng kahit isang buwan sa regular savings program.
