Metro Manila, Philippines – Robinsons Land Corporation has joined the government housing program’s growing roster of leading developer partners offering homes priced within workers’ reach and available for purchase through Pag-IBIG lending.
The partnership coincides with National Shelter Month, with the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development, Pag-IBIG Fund and private-sector partners sustaining efforts to bring more quality homes within worker means.
“We are seeing this direction bear fruit as more leading developers join our efforts, giving Filipino workers more homes to choose from and more opportunities to find one they can afford,” said Housing Secretary and Pag-IBIG Fund chairman Jose Ramon Aliling.
“Robinsons Land’s participation builds on these gains and strengthens our resolve to sustain them. Together, the government and our private-sector partners are turning our shared commitment into concrete opportunities for more Filipinos to own a home,” he added.
In June, Pag-IBIG Fund raised its maximum housing loan amount to ₱10 million to give middle-income earners more home choices, while calling on private developers to offer preferential pricing to help members afford homes in their developments. It also continues to offer promotional housing loan rates of 4.5 percent per year for loans of up to ₱4.9 million and 5.75 percent for loans above ₱4.9 million up to ₱10 million. Both rates are fixed for the first three years, with the promotional offer available until the end of 2026.
Robinsons Land President and CEO Mybelle Aragon-GoBio said the partnership brings together housing financing and RLC Residences’ portfolio of homes to help more Filipino families achieve homeownership.
“By bringing together Pag-IBIG’s housing financing solutions and RLC Residences’ diverse portfolio of homes, we hope to make homeownership more accessible to more Filipino families and bring them closer to finding a place they can truly call their own,” Aragon-GoBio said.
“We recognize that our progress as a developer is measured by more than the buildings we complete or the communities we establish. It is ultimately measured by the lives we touch, the families we welcome, and the opportunities we help create. Through this partnership, we hope to make that impact even greater,” she added.
Under the memorandum of understanding, qualified members will have access to participating Robinsons Land homes, which may include ready-for-occupancy units, with preferential pricing and buyer incentives subject to specific terms and availability.
Home-matching activities, housing fairs, member briefings and online promotions will help members find suitable homes. Housing loan counseling and assistance with documentary requirements will help them understand what they can afford and how to apply, with loan approval subject to Pag-IBIG Fund’s evaluation and applicable guidelines.
Pag-IBIG Fund Chief Executive Officer Marilene Acosta said the growing number of developer partners advances Pag-IBIG Fund’s continuing efforts to match more affordable homes with financing within members’ means.
“We know how much owning a home means to our members and their families. That dream becomes more attainable when an affordable home price is matched by financing that keeps monthly payments within their means. Through our partnership with Robinsons Land, we are bringing together its preferential pricing and buyer incentives with our affordable Pag-IBIG Housing Loans,” Acosta said.
“Lower monthly payments help families sustain their housing loan repayments while leaving more room in their budget for other necessities, savings and plans for the future. We want our members to find a home that suits their family and their budget, with affordable home financing they can rely on from Pag-IBIG Fund,” she added.
