How To Apply For A Pag-IBIG Calamity Loan Online

Since the Philippines has been placed under a State of Calamity due to the 2019 novel coronavirus disease, or COVID-19, a number of Filipinos have been faced with a financial ordeal. Add to that the recent devastation brought about by Typhoon Ulysses, some of us need all the help we can get.

Thankfully, the HDMF has launched the Pag-IBIG Calamity Loan online application, which is convenient in times of Community Quarantines and natural calamities so they get an additional source of funding.

Here, we give you the most updated information about this loan offer from Pag-IBIG.
