1. HDMF (Home Development Mutual Fund)

A. Company Profile
The birth of the Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF), more
popularly known as the Pag-IBIG Fund, was an answer to the need for a
national savings program and an affordable shelter financing for the
Filipino worker. The Fund was established on 11 June 1978 by virtue of
Presidential Decree No. 1530 primarily to address these two basic yet
equally important needs. Under the said law, there were two agencies
that administered the Fund. The Social Security System handled the
funds of private employees, while the Government Service Insurance
System handled the savings of government workers.
Less than a year after on 1 March 1979, Executive Order No. 527 was
signed. The order directed transferring the administration of the Fund
to the National Home Mortgage Finance Corporation, which was one of
the operating agencies of the then Ministry of Human Settlements.
Seeing the need to further strengthen the stability and viability of
the two funds, Executive Order No. 538 was issued on 4 June 1979,
merging the funds for private and government personnel into what is
now known as the Pag-IBIG Fund. However, It was only on 14 December
1980 when Pag-IBIG was made independent from the NHMFC with the
signing of PD 1752, which amended PD 1530. With the improved law in
effect, the Fund's rule-making power was vested in its own Board of
Trustees. Likewise, PD 1752 made Pag-IBIG membership mandatory for all
SSS and GSIS member-employees.
B. Mandate
HDMF Law Of 2009
Recognizing HDMF's contributions through the years and the need
to further strengthen its capability as the biggest source of housing
finance in the country to date, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo
signed into law Republic Act No. 9679 or the Home Development Mutual
Fund Law of 2009. The law was signed on 21 July 2009.
Under the new HDMF law, membership to the Pag-IBIG Fund is made
mandatory for all SSS- and GSIS-covered employees; uniformed members
of the AFP, BFP, BJMP and PNP; as well as Filipinos employed by
foreign-based employers. Now more than ever, Filipino workers will
enjoy the benefits that are available only to Pag-IBIG members.
Likewise, the law grants the HDMF exemption from tax payments like

other government provident institutions. With its tax-exempt status

reinstated, Pag-IBIG will have more funds to finance housing and
short-term loans as well as investments in government securities.
Income from these endeavors is distributed exclusively to Pag-IBIG
members in the form of dividends.
The HDMF Law of 2009 also gives the Board of Trustees the authority to
set the contribution rates, thereby paving the way for members to save
more for their future. Similarly, this will bolster the Fund's
resources for home financing.
Pag-IBIG is an acronym which stands for
Ikaw, Bangko, Industria at Gobyerno. To
continues to harness these four sectors
together towards providing Fund members
an effective savings scheme.
