SAN FERNANDO CITY, La Union (PIA) – In an effort to make essential services more accessible to residents, the Lingkod Pag-IBIG On Wheels (LPOW) is set to roll out across La Union throughout January 2025, bringing vital Pag-IBIG Fund services directly to communities, including those in remote areas.
The mobile initiative, launched by the Pag-IBIG Fund, aims to reduce the barriers of time and distance by delivering programs and services closer to its members and employers.
Starting its journey in San Fernando City from Jan. 2 to 4, the mobile unit will travel to all the 20 city/municipalities of La Union, ensuring that even residents in distant areas can benefit from its services.
The first leg in San Fernando City successfully catered to 255 members who availed themselves of multiple services.
