According to the Pag-IBIG, this increase was done to “sustain the needs of its members” and will also be reflected in members’ benefits.

“Kung bakit po nag-increase po, para po ma-sustain ‘yong pangangailangan ng Pag-IBIG members so ‘yon naman pong for regular contributions na pag-iincrease, makikinabang pa rin naman po ‘yong mga Pag-IBIG members,” it said.

(On the question of why it was increased, this is to sustain the needs of Pag-IBIG members, so for increasing regular contributions, Pag-IBIG members will still benefit.)
