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

Hi PAG-IBIG Fund Team,

I am writing to request your assistance with updating my PAG-IBIG membership details. I kindly request your team that my employment status be updated from employed to unemployed or voluntary, as I am currently out of work. I understand that this may affect my contributions, but I would like to make sure that my membership status reflects my current situation.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of my request. Should you have any other verification you can contact me through this email [email protected].

Any update on this?
