TUGUEGARAO CITY, CAGAYAN – In celebration of the National Women’s Month, The Department of Interior and Local Government Regional Office 2 (DILG R2) conducted a financial literacy seminar, specifically on Modified PAG-IBIG 2 at the DILG R2 Conference Hall, Tuguegarao City, Cagayan on March 06, 2024.
Head Executive Assistant Elma Urbina officially commenced the program with a welcoming remarks by extending her gratitude to Reyson Joseph Robles for accepting DILG R2’s invitation to serve as a resource speaker for the financial literacy seminar.
With a primary objective to empower DILG R2 personnel through financial literacy, Reyson Joseph T. Robles, Members Services Officer III of PAG-IBIG Fund-Tuguegarao Branch and the resource speaker for the seminar, discussed the salient features of Modified PAG-IBIG 2, the requirements in availing/subscription, and as well as its benefits and advantages.
To quell the worries of the attendees, Mr. Robles also urged and clarified the queries of the Job Orders and Contract of Services Employees of DILG R2 with regards in availing PAG-IBIG.
“For JOs and Contract of Service, ‘Wag po ninyo problemahin. Kung nag-start po kayo ng deduction dito po sa DILG, and later, nag move out po kayo sa ibang agency, magiging continuation po siya. Hindi po forfeited ‘yung dati niyong hulog, basta mag-update lang po tayo ng records. So, icocount pa rin po natin ‘yung dati niyong contribution kahit inactive po ‘yan, tuloy tuloy pa rin po ‘yan mag-earn ng dividends. Pero ang difference lang po ng active [sa inactive], s’yempre mas malaki lang po ang ma-accumulate na dividends compared sa inactive and ‘yung pag-avail nung ibang services. So kapag hindi updated ang records and contribution, hindi rin po tayo makaka-avail ng loans,” Mr. Robles explained.
As the discussion reached its conclusion, Chief Administrative Officer Ive Saludez delivered a closing remarks by empowering women through financial literacy as they directly manage household finances and extended her gratitude to Mr. Robles for the valuable knowledge he shared among the attendees.
