How to Setup and Activate Virtual PAG-IBIG Account
I was today's old when I found out that Pag-IBIG has gone virtual. Shocking, I know but for me who has been privately employed for the majority of my career I never really paid attention to this. I did not have any house loans and I have not decided to start an MP2 saving so there was never really any need to create an online account until recently.
After leaving my full-time job of 7+ years, I definitely have to be on top of all things government contributions. I started with SSS as that was familiar to me of course I had to go over the others too: PAG-IBIG and Philhealth. I then realized that I did not have a virtual PAG-IBIG account and you bet we had to create one.
Here are the steps to create and activate your virtual Pag-IBIG account:
1. Prepare your MID number. I checked my last MDF (Member's Data Form) to locate my MID number as it is required to set up your virtual account. This is found in the upper right-hand corner of your MDF, I had a printed copy from my previous employer. In the event that you do not have your MID number, you may visit any Pag-IBIG office to get yours.
2. Open the Pag-IBIG virtual page: https://www.pagibigfund.gov.ph/ and find the Virtual Pag-IBIG tab and select For Members.
3. Create your Pag-IBIG account from the Virtual site.
Click on Continue from the pop-up screen.
3. Create and Activate your online account from the next page and you will be asked to fill out a form.
4. Fill out the form.
5. Complete One-Time Pin Authentication.
6. Fill out the member information, set up your security questions, and upload a valid government ID.
7. Once completed, wait for an SMS and email to activate your account.
I received an email at around 3PM that my account can now be activated. Note: A temporary password is included in the email.
You will be prompted to create a new password, make sure this follows their criteria.
9. Once done, you can now log in to your account and an SMS will be sent out to confirm that your account has been activated.
You will then see your Pag-IBIG account.
