What is the Virtual Pag-IBIG for?
Sure, it does a great deal of benefits to Pag-IBIG members because they will be able to view and pay contributions online but what is it for mainly? Would this help other Pag-IBIG Fund members? Can this help in resolving the woes and penalties incurred due to late contribution payment by its members?

Online payments can be done through Pag-IBIG Fund's online payment facility via PayMaya or via credit cards. So, Pag-IBIG Fund members can expect to pay contributions or to pay their loans off via the Virtual Pag-IBIG.
How about other Pag-IBIG Fund services
Currently, the agency said that they're just focusing on the contribution payment scheme and the members' ability to view contributions and their state with Pag-IBIG.
However, it was noted that the agency is also thinking about including the calamity loan or multi-purpose loan in the facility. As of now, members would just be allowed to view or pay their contributions online!

They're also thinking about how they can process loans without the physical submission of documents and papers of Pag-IBIG fund members when it comes to housing loans - all of these are still in the parking lot but we can expect big greater things in the coming years.
The increase in the contribution has opened a lot of opportunities to Pag-IBIG Fund members. With the Virtual Pag-IBIG or the Pag-IBIG online office, members would be given a better chance of settling their obligations as well as seeing their contributions in just a few easy clicks.
Who knows? Maybe in the next few years, the agency can allow an overall system update and upgrade which would erase the need for Pag-IBIG Fund employees. The agency can be more effective, efficient, and they can have more services that can be done with just a few clicks!
What do you think about the Virtual Pag-IBIG that allows members to view and pay their contributions online? Could this greatly help in the flexibility of contribution and loan payments? What can we expect in the coming years from the HDMF?
