Have You Tried Saving Through Modified Pag-IBIG 2 (MP2) Program?

I regretted the fact that I didn't start early 😢I knew this program since 2017 but I was too lazy to go to the Pagibig office. However, recently, processing can be done online through Pagibig Virtual Services, so it's pretty convenient. 👍

MP2 Pagibig Savings program is entirely voluntary and you're not required to save monthly. Just save when you're able. But this is a better option than putting your money in the bank. 

MP2 Savings program is a government-guaranteed scheme so your money is safe and protected. With an assurance of ROI.

But just to remind everyone that this is not similar to PSE or a hedge fund investment strategy where you can get a higher return of investment haha! This is not an easy money scheme like those promised by scammers grrr! 

This is a saving program with a guaranteed annual tax-free dividends. But the dividends rate is higher than the regular savings interest in the bank (or even the time deposit). And your money is safe because Pagibig is a government-run institution. Plus, you've something to look forward to in five years. 

MP2 Savings account is different from your regular Pag-ibig premium. This savings program has a 5-year maturity period and allows you to save more anytime (it's not mandatory to save monthly).

I just started two years ago with 1K per month, sometimes more than 1K a month (depends on my monthly income 😄). MP2 Saving is open to all active members of Pag-ibig, even OFW as long as you're a member of Pag-ibig. 

When you enroll, you may choose to claim your dividends annually or when your account matures (in five years).

So if you are an active pag-ibig member, you better start now! It's really a good saving scheme. 

How Much You Will Earn.

It has higher dividends than the regular pag-ibig contribution, and higher than the interest offered by the banks on savings account. The dividends you can get from MP2 Savings are tax-free.
