Are you looking to learn more about Pag-IBIG’s assets and how you can grab advantages from it? Well, there are Pag-IBIG assets?
Pag-IBIG foreclosed properties
When an owner who asked Pag-IBIG for financial assistance fails to comply to the payment schemes and terms of the loan, the property will automatically become Pag-IBIG’s asset—these will then become Pag-IBIG foreclosed properties.
In normal cases, Pag-IBIG fund would provide delinquent borrowers a chance to purchase their properties back when they default on the monthly amortization payments. More so, they also offer this option to tenants who are currently occupying the foreclosed property.
What if the previous owner doesn’t have the capability to buy it back?
In the event that this option doesn’t work out with the previous owner, Pag-IBIG foreclosed properties will be offered to new buyers at a substantially lower price by bidding to be able to rejuvenate the loan and to generate income for the Housing Fund through public bidding or via purchase.
The purchase will only be possible if the auction will fail for a certain property—buyers can have a discount amounting up to 30 percent.
Before you can purchase a foreclosed property owner by Pag-IBIG, you have to find the list of the houses and hose and lots first.

Check if there’s an erratum posting
An erratum is an error in either writing or printing and there are times when a post has erratum details. Before you proceed to the bidding, make sure that you visit the Pag-IBIG page of acquired assets and see whether or not there are errors on the property details under the auction.
The Erratum will have the list of properties that were removed recently from the official list of public bidding. Oftentimes, these are already excluded from the bidding because of the fact that they’re already sold or given to a buyer before the date of the auction.
Note: It’s always right to check the property you are eyeing on if it’s still available for bidding.
Attend the bidding
Proceed to the person on duty and pass your requirements and the sealed bid. When the deadline of the sealed bid gets passed, all of the bids will be opened; the highest bidder will be announced as the winner.
If you fail to win the bid, you will get your bidder’s bond with an acknowledgement receipt. In the event that you successfully win the bid, however, the bidder’s bond you claimed will automatically become your down payment for the Pag-IBIG foreclosed property. Therefore, you can continue to pay for the remaining 90 percent of the amount in installments, cash, or through the Pag-IBIG housing loan.
