THE Pag-IBIG Fund held its year-end grand draws of its One-Plus-One Raffle Promo and Multi-Purpose Loan (MPL) Loan-to-Win Raffle Promo on Dec. 16, with winners receiving prizes of up to P500,000. It said the One-Plus-One Grand Draw produced three winning pairs for the promo’s top prizes, with one pair each receiving P500,000, one pair receiving P250,000 each and another pair receiving P100,000 each. The agency said the year-end draws, held in Makati City, also produced 30 “plus ones” and 30 “PagIBIGfluencers” who won P10,000 consolation prizes each. The MPL Loan-to-Win Grand Draw produced 24 winners, with four receiving P50,000, four receiving P40,000 and 16 receiving P30,000, while 80 other MPL borrowers won P10,000 as consolation prizes. In a statement, Pag-IBIG said its One-Plus-One Raffle Promo has helped expand membership, including among overseas Filipino workers and informal sector workers while the MPL Loan-to-Win Raffle Promo rewarded members who turned to the agency’s cash loan for their financial needs. “It also forms part of Pag-IBIG’s efforts to deliver on the directive of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to ensure that more Filipino workers, including those in the informal sector, have a fair opportunity to own a home and secure a stable future,” it said. Started in January this year, the agency said the One-Plus-One Raffle Promo has been encouraging active members to become PagIBIGfluencers and invite nonmembers to register with the agency or inactive members to reactivate their membership, supporting wider access to the its savings and housing programs. Earlier draws produced winners among PagIBIGfluencers and their referred “plus ones,” culminating in the year-end grand draw. Also, the MPL Loan-to-Win Raffle Promo, which started in February also this year, covered eligible members who took out a Pag-IBIG Multi-Purpose Loan — a short-term cash loan that can help pay for medical expenses, education, small business capital and household needs. Pag-IBIG said eligible borrowers received one raffle entry for each approved loan, with additional entries for loans applied for online via Virtual Pag-IBIG, first-time MPL borrowers and loans worth more than P50,000. The winners in the year-end draws joined the 756 winners of the MPL promo and 94 winners of the One-Plus-One promo in earlier draws. Details on winners and prize claiming will be available on the Pag-IBIG Fund website and official Facebook page.
