Housing Loan Restructuring and Condonation Program
As an offshoot of Republic Act 9507 or the Socialized and Low-Cost Housing Loan Restructuring Act of 2008, the GSIS is implementing the Housing Loan Restructuring and Condonation Program, which covers housing loan obligations of delinquent borrowers with accumulated arrearages equivalent to at least six monthly amortizations, regardless of the original principal amount of the loan.
The Housing Loan Restructuring and Condonation Program was implemented on April 16, 2009 and will run for 18 months.
The amount of restructuring shall be the sum of the outstanding loan principal, unpaid principal, accrued interests, insurance premiums, taxes, foreclosure and other incidental expenses, less downpayment and discount on accrued interest, if any.
The restructured balance shall be imposed an interest rate of eight percent per annum compounded annually, fixed throughout the loan term.
The maximum term of the restructured obligation shall be 30 years, but should not exceed the difference between the borrower’s age at the time of application and number 80.
There will be no processing fee or downpayment requirement for this program. Moreover, discount on unpaid interest shall be given to borrowers who will pay, partially or in full, their outstanding balances with the GSIS. A payment of 25-49 percent of the outstanding balance is entitled to a 10 percent discount; 50-74 percent payment, 20-percent discount; 75-99 percent, 30-percent discount; and 100 percent, 40-percent discount.

* borrowers/installment buyers of covered accounts notwithstanding that the same borrowers/installment buyers have availed themselves of the benefits of a previous condonation and loan restructuring program
