The National Home Mortgage Finance Corporation (NHMFC) has granted a one-month moratorium on loan payments to more than 1,800 housing loan borrowers in Central and Eastern Visayas affected by Typhoon Tino.
The payment suspension covers monthly amortizations from Nov. 4, 2025 until Dec. 3, 2025, with no penalties or surcharges to be accrued during this period.
The decision was made pursuant to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s declaration of a state of national calamity through Proclamation No. 1077. It also followed a directive from Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) Secretary Jose Ramon Aliling to provide relief to borrowers in areas massively damaged by the typhoon, and in anticipation of the landfall of Typhoon Uwan.
NHMFC president Renato Tobias stated the initiative is the corporation’s way of extending support to families struggling with the storm’s impact.
“We understand the tremendous challenges our borrowers are facing right now, and this initiative is our way of extending compassion and support,” Tobias said.
“By giving one-month relief from loan payments, we hope to ease their burden and give them the time they need to recover and rebuild their lives without worrying about their housing payments,” he said.
