Even the retired Pag-Ibig members can also join provided that they have a monthly source of income like pension had at least twenty four months of contribution during their membership.
Perks of Saving on MP2
You can say that this is an easy way of investing. Why? The minimum amount you will need monthly is just Php 500.00 and it can be increased to any amount that will be easy for you. You can also pay “one time big time” and it will give you a higher yield. If you’re employed, it can be directly deducted from your salary or you can even pay for the entire year; payment mode actually depends on your preference.
For a minimum savings of Php500 per month you will be able to withdraw Php35,776.68 upon maturity. That’s about 5,776.68 interest. It might not seem too big but aside from being able to save that amount, this interest is not bad. You would probably just spend this on unnecessary things if didn’t invest it.
