Managing a housing loan can feel overwhelming at times, especially when monthly payments stretch your budget thin.
Pag-IBIG’s Housing Loan Interest Repricing Program offers a practical solution, giving you the chance to adjust your loan’s interest rate and terms to better fit your financial situation.
This program is ideal for borrowers who want to lower their monthly amortization or find a more predictable payment plan.
There’s no cost to apply, just an opportunity to save and manage your loan more efficiently.
Why Interest Repricing is Worth Considering
Sometimes life takes unexpected turns, and financial responsibilities can feel heavier than before.
Repricing your loan’s interest rate can help you regain control of your finances by lowering your monthly payments.
It’s a smart option for borrowers who want to save money or achieve more financial stability.
Pag-IBIG offers various fixed pricing periods with corresponding interest rates:
- 1-year fixed pricing: 5.75%
- 3-year fixed pricing: 6.25%
- 5-year fixed pricing: 6.50%
- 10-year fixed pricing: 7.125%
Shorter periods often come with lower rates but may adjust sooner.
On the other hand, longer periods offer more predictable payments over time.
Comparing Interest Repricing and Loan Restructuring Programs
Pag-IBIG’s Interest Repricing and Loan Restructuring programs both aim to make housing loans more manageable, but they cater to different needs.
Interest repricing is for borrowers with good standing accounts who want to adjust their fixed interest rate period.
This option allows you to secure lower rates or more stable payments without changing your loan term or balance.
On the other hand, loan restructuring is designed for borrowers facing financial difficulties.
It lets you renegotiate terms by extending the repayment period or consolidating arrears into the principal.
This often results in lower monthly payments but may increase the total interest paid over time.
If you’re optimizing your rates, repricing is the way to go.
For those struggling to stay current, restructuring offers a practical path to financial relief.

Before starting your application, check if you qualify.
To be eligible:

Keeping your account up to date ensures that you can take full advantage of this program.
