๐ ๐ก Did you know?
Even if your house gets damaged or destroyed by a typhoon, earthquake, or floodโฆ
๐ You STILL owe the bank or Pag-IBIG.
Yes โ even if your home is gone, your housing loan doesnโt disappear.
You borrowed money, and that loan remains your responsibility until itโs fully paid.
Thatโs why when you buy a house through Bank Financing or Pag-IBIG, having the right insurance coverage is a must!
Hereโs what every homeowner should understand ๐
๐ฆ 1๏ธโฃ MRI (Mortgage Redemption Insurance)
This protects your family if something happens to you (the borrower).
If you pass away before the loan is paid off, the MRI settles the remaining balance โ so your loved ones wonโt inherit the debt or risk losing the home. ๐
๐ช๏ธ 2๏ธโฃ Fire and Acts of Nature (AON) Coverage
This protects your property itself โ in case itโs damaged or destroyed by fire, earthquake, flood, or typhoon.
Without this, the bank or Pag-IBIG will still collect loan payments even if your house is unlivable. ๐ข
๐ Hereโs how it works:
โ
You file a claim for the damage.
โ
The insurance company pays the bank or Pag-IBIG directly (since your property is the collateral).
โ
If the claim amount covers your remaining loan โ good news, your loan is settled!
โ
But if itโs less, youโll have to pay the difference.
๐ก Real talk:
Insurance pays for the damage, but your loan stays until the lender is fully paid.
MRI protects your family, and AON protects your home. Both are essential for your peace of mind and financial security. โค๏ธ
โจ Tip:
Whether your home is under Bank or Pag-IBIG financing, review your insurance today.
Make sure youโre protected with MRI + Acts of Nature coverage.
