MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) has partnered with the Home Development Mutual Fund (Pag-IBIG Fund) to make it easier for the investment promotion agency’s employees to own a home.
PEZA director general Tereso Panga and Pag-IBIG Fund CEO Marilene Acosta signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for the partnership on Oct. 21.
Under the MOA, PEZA and Pag-IBIG will implement programs to enable employees to acquire homes through Pag-IBIG’s financing schemes.
The partnership will also involve working together to help employees access a dedicated pool of acquired assets and accredited developer inventories, as well as other initiatives to make it easier to become homeowners.
“We will make available our full suite of housing programs to include end-user financing, home improvement loans, rental housing, the Expanded 4PH Program (Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino) and access to the Pag-IBIG Acquired Assets Program, just to name a few,” Acosta said.
She said Pag-IBIG will also enter into a collection servicing agreement with PEZA to streamline the repayment process.
