Pag-IBIG Fund reported a 50% rise in investment revenue during the initial four months of 2025, showcasing its careful financial management and increasing ability to assist members’ savings and housing requirements. This development confirms the agency’s crucial position in promoting the Marcos administration’s goal of enhancing government financial institutions and improving the livelihoods of Filipino workers through responsive social benefits.
From January to April 2025, the agency generated P2.73 billion in investment revenue alone—considerably above the P1.81 billion recorded in the same timeframe in 2024—fueled by tactical investments in bonds and various debt instruments, money market tools, equities, and investment properties.
Chief Executive Officer Marilene C. Acosta emphasized that the agency’s investment portfolio amounted to P158.15 billion as of April 2025, indicating a 42% annual increase from P111.39 billion in April 2024. She mentioned that this progress is part of Pag-IBIG Fund’s effective and strategic distribution of its over P1.11 trillion in total assets—a benchmark the agency reached earlier this month. According to the most recent available data, Pag-IBIG Fund’s earning assets have reached P1.09 trillion, comprised of P856.96 billion in housing-related assets, P77.94 billion in short-term loans, and P158.12 billion in income-generating investments. The remaining P20 million pertains to other assets, including property and equipment, cash, and intangible assets.
“Our investments are essential in providing our members with the highest possible returns,” Acosta stated. “We prioritize fulfilling our housing investment obligations to assist more Filipinos in home ownership through affordable financing. We also ensure sufficient funding for our short-term loans, guaranteeing members have access to immediate financial support. The remaining investable funds are allocated to secure instruments that yield competitive returns while maintaining liquidity for members’ claims. Through this balanced and disciplined strategy—grounded in the strategic distribution of our resources to housing, short-term lending, and investments—we achieve our mission to uphold our members’ trust and provide significant benefits, the Lingkod Pag-IBIG approach.”
In addition, the agency officially welcomed Secretary Jose Ramon P. Aliling this week as the newly appointed Chairperson of its 11-member Board of Trustees. His leadership is anticipated to further steer Pag-IBIG Fund’s strategic course in alignment with the Marcos administration’s housing and institutional development initiatives.
