Kung gipit sa budget, may biglaang gastos, o gusto mong magdagdag puhunan para sa small biz mo—Pag-IBIG’s Multi-Purpose Loan (MPL) can help you breathe a little easier.
And guess what? Starting May 16, 2025, Pag-IBIG made the MPL even more accessible and flexible. So kung dati ay hindi ka qualified, baka this time pasok ka na!
In this post, I’ll walk you through everything—updated loanable amount, new requirements, and the easiest ways to apply.
What is the Pag-IBIG Multi-Purpose Loan (MPL)?
The Pag-IBIG Multi-Purpose Loan (MPL) is a short-term cash loan you can use for pretty much anything:
- Tuition
- Medical emergencies
- Home improvements
- Debt consolidation
- Business capital
- Or kahit pang-budget sa grocery kapag taghirap
Good news: It’s like borrowing from your own savings. The money comes from your Pag-IBIG Regular Savings (your contributions + employer share + dividends).
What’s New in 2025?
Effective May 16, 2025, Pag-IBIG rolled out major improvements to the MPL program:
✅ 1. Loanable Amount: Now up to 90% of your total Pag-IBIG Regular Savings
Before: 80%
Now: 90% — mas malaki ang pwede mong mahiram!
✅ 2. Shorter Eligibility: Only 12 months of total contributions required
Before: 24 months
Now: Just 12 months — even new members can now apply!
✅ 3. New Repayment Option: Pay in 12, 24, or 36 months
Before: 24 or 36 months
Now: You can choose to finish in just 1 year if kaya ng budget.
Who Can Apply for the MPL?
To qualify for the Pag-IBIG MPL as of 2025, you must:
- Be an active member with at least 12 months total Pag-IBIG contributions
- Have at least one contribution within the last 6 months
- If you have existing Pag-IBIG loans (MPL, calamity, housing), they must be updated or in good standing
