The Modified Pag-IBIG II (Pag-IBIG MP2) Savings Program is a special voluntary savings facility with a 5-year maturity, designed for active Pag-IBIG Fund members who wish to save more and earn higher dividends, in addition to their Pag-IBIG Regular Savings.
Pag-IBIG Fund
The Pag-IBIG MP2 is open for the following investors (basically composed of the members of the Pag-IBIG Fund):
• Active members (members with at least one (1) monthly savings (contribution) within the last six (6) months.) – both from the public/government and private sector.
• Former Pag-IBIG Fund members (pensioners and retirees) with other sources of monthly income, regardless of age, and with at least 24 monthly savings prior to retirement.
• Natural Born Filipinos, who reacquired their Filipino Citizenship pursuant to RA 9225 or the Citizenship Retention and Reacquisition Act of 2003, with at least 24 monthly savings prior to permanent migration to another country.
• Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs)
Beginning 2009, Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) have been covered by Pag-IBIG Fund membership as provided under Republic Act No. 9679.
From such time, the Pag-IBIG Fund has been enlisting the help of POEA to make it easier for OFWs to pay their Pag-IBIG contributions. As members, OFWs are able to enjoy Pag-IBIG benefits such as savings with dividend earnings.
As of 2021, 78,850 OFW members voluntarily save under Pag-IBIG Fund’s Modified Pag-IBIG 2 (MP2) Savings Program, where they earned 6% in dividend returns for the year.

Likewise, if I receive additional allowances and bonuses, I also set aside certain amount of money, at least 10%, and invest it to Pag-IBIG MP2 and to my other investments.
