Final Thoughts
The Pag-IBIG Fund is a convenient way to save your hard-earned money. Your monthly premium earns tax-free annual dividends, which are added to your account.
As part of the POEA and Pag-IBIG Fund agreement, payment of updated Pag-IBIG premium is one of the requirements before an OFW is issued the Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC).
All departing OFWs are required to pay a minimum contribution of P100 without service fees. However, they may contribute more.
