02/01/2017 EDIT: I have a pending inquiry/clarification regarding the MP2 payment method with PAG-IBIG CSR. I will update this blog or correct what’s necessary when I get their response. For now, this blog entry is subject to multiple revisions until we’ve reached a resolution to the issue. 🙂

02/04/2017 EDIT: As written previously in this blog, I used the online payment facility of PAG-IBIG to pay for my monthly savings. Unfortunately, when I confirmed to them the status of my MP2, all savings that I deposited since I started on October did not reflect on the MP2, but instead on the PAG-IBIG I (the monthly mandatory contribution). Thus, I emailed a dispute regarding the matter and requested to have the deposited amount from October 2016 to January 2017 be transferred to my MP2 account.

I have yet to hear from them. I hope they respond and take action. During the last conversation I had with a PAG-IBIG CSR, I was advised to use Gcash instead to deposit for my MP2 savings. I do not intend to do it yet until this issue with my previous deposits be resolved. 🙂

02/07/2017 EDIT: Commenter Wilson Polancos suggests that for new applicants, it’s is better to [register and] make your first deposit by going to a PAG-IBIG branch. For those who have previous deposits posted on their PAG-IBIG I instead of MP2, it’s also suggested to visit a PAG-IBIG branch, fill out and submit a transfer form.

04/24/2017 EDIT: I’m giving up. Four emails, Four months long to get a response, and the responses led to not resolving the issue. Pffft.

05/25/2017 EDIT: I sent an email to the Ortigas branch where my HDMF is registered. I did not receive a reply. Thus, I followed it up with two phone calls (I can’t remember if both within the week or consecutive calls, but I did call). The first one was to address the concern, the second one since I think they did not really do anything about it, was to repeat the request again.

07/13/2017 EDIT: I called PAG-IBIG once more and until now the Php2000 worth I requested to be transferred to my MP2 has not been addressed. I called them a couple of times before this latest update. Smh.

08/16/2017 EDIT: Read my latest blog post about my pending (but now resolved) issue about my MP2 Savings
