Davao City:The Pag-IBIG Fund has launched an extensive offering of more than 20,000 housing units at the Mindanao Housing Fair 2026, held at the SMX Convention Center in Davao City. The event, which spans two days, is presenting affordable financing options and special pricing under the government's Expanded Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino (Expanded 4PH) Program.
According to Philippines News Agency, this housing fair in Mindanao follows similar events conducted in Metro Manila and the Visayas earlier in October. The initiative aims to provide decent and affordable housing to Filipino families nationwide, as emphasized by the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development Secretary and Pag-IBIG Fund Board Chair, Jose Ramon Aliling.
Aliling highlighted that the Expanded 4PH Program is designed to extend more housing choices and affordable Pag-IBIG financing to families across the nation. He expressed gratitude to partner developers for their participation, which helps bring housing opportunities closer to Filipinos.
Pag-IBIG Fund Chief Executive Officer Marilene Acosta encouraged members in Mindanao to attend the fair and consider the housing and financing options on offer. She noted that qualified buyers of socialized housing under the Expanded 4PH Program can benefit from a subsidized interest rate of 3 percent, while housing loans up to PHP10 million have promotional rates of 4.5 percent and 5.75 percent per annum.
Acosta assured that Pag-IBIG teams would be available to guide members, answer queries, and assist them in finding homes that suit their needs and budget. The special rates are available until the end of the year, providing an opportunity for members to move closer to homeownership.
Between January and October 2026, Pag-IBIG financed 78,410 housing units worth PHP127.44 billion, marking a 15 percent increase from the previous year. Of these, 12,969 were socialized housing units valued at PHP14.40 billion, aimed at minimum wage earners and low-income families, with the number of socialized housing units financed rising by 175 percent from the same period last year.
