OVER 25,000 Filipino workers have expressed interest in purchasing socialized housing units through the Pag-IBIG Housing Loan under the Expanded Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino (4PH) Program as of Sept. 5.

“The high number of registrants in such a short span of time clearly reflects the need of Filipino workers and their families for affordable homeownership,” Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development Secretary and Pag-IBIG Fund Board of Trustees Chair Jose Ramon P. Aliling said in a statement on Monday.

This comes just three months after Pag-IBIG Fund rolled out its 4PH Online Registration system in June 2025.

The Expanded 4PH Program now includes house-and-lot units in subdivision developments, adding to its offering of vertical condominium projects.

“With more projects underway, even more Filipino workers are expected to benefit in the coming months,” the Pag-IBIG Fund said.

The Expanded 4PH Online Sign-Up Facility allows members to browse available socialized housing projects, view unit photos, compute estimated monthly payments and monitor their registration status in real time. — Aaron Michael C. Sy
