Home Development Mutual Fund/Pag-IBIG Fund(HDMF)

We bought a land residential lot last July/August 2018 at San Pedro, Puerto Princesa, Palawan for installment (20 years). We found out that there are illegal settlers there (former owner’s caretaker). It’s been five years since we’re trying to convince them to leave. Now, we have the Certificate to File Action from Brgy San Pedro and have consulted a private lawyer to file a case to court, recovery of ownership. However, the title is still under HDMF. Our lawyer is unable to proceed without the SPA from Pag Ibig and ALL the documents related to the lot. Can HDMF help us on this matter?

I’ve been trying to send email to Calamba Laguna HBC but no response.
We are given 2 options by the lawyer:
1) Pag Ibig to initiate the complaint since the title is still under their name
2) Pag Ibig to provide ALL DOCUMENTATIONS and SPA to me as we file a “recovery of ownership” case to court.

Documentations needed, but not limited to,
1) SPA to me and my lawyer
2) Copy of intention request letter sent by the illegal settlers to Pag Ibig
3) Copy of Pag Ibig response to that letter
4) History of TCT
5) Latest Tax Decs
6) Loan documents of previous owner
7) All documents related to the TCT number
