Here in the Philippines, we are nearing to experience a lockdown. A few days back, a basic and a level 1 quarantine has been announced. Just yesterday, it has been raised to an enhanced community quarantine. It is a type of quarantine that would allow smaller government bodies and private sectors to partake in the containing of the virus.

Along with that, several other bodies of government has made their action to help their fellow countrymen. The Pag-IBIG Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF) also has their way of helping people. According to them, they are open to offering a three-month moratorium to all loans; this act is to help in covering the expenses during the enhanced community quarantine.

What is a moratorium?

For those people who are not aware of what this means, a moratorium is an activity that would legalize debtors to postpone their payments. In law terminology, it’s like a “one-way gate pass” for all debtors of Pag-IBIG.

In conclusion, this moratorium, if looked at a bigger picture, is some type of assistance that would help everyone cope with the situation we are experiencing now because of the infamous virus.
