One of the employment requirements in the Philippines is membership in the PAG-IBIG fund. It's part of the trifecta of government social welfare services, the other two being SSS and PhilHealth.

Membership in PAG-IBIG is useful as it serves as a savings vehicle that you could use for your retirement in the future, and for your family in cases of permanent disability or your death. PAG-IBIG also grants loans to allow ordinary Filipinos to own homes.

For those who are employed, PAG-IBIG contributions are auto-deducted from your monthly salaries at P100. Freelancers and self-employed individuals can pay their own contributions.

If you're wondering whether that P100 deducted monthly from your pay really goes into your PAG-IBIG fund, here's how you can check your contributions:
