The Philippines is currently being affected by the Typhoon Maring. There are lots of flooded area already, and as of this writing the rain is continuously pouring. Cavite is one of the areas that was declared to be in a state of calamity. For those who doesn’t know, we are now living in Cavite, but I thank God that our area is not affected by flood.

i have an existing loan sa SSS. would you know po if i can still file a calamity loan? i couldn’t find it sa site nila. many thanx!
As far as I know pwede po, or depende sa pending number of months ng existing loan nyo. But, to be sure kindly visit the SSS branch near you and inquire. I am not connected to these government agencies po kasi.
hi ask ko lng po kung pwedng mkpg apply ng calamity loans s sss at pg ibig kht ang hulog ko ay 15 months p lng?hope you reply…thanks
Hi, I suggest that you inquire at Pag-Ibig branch near you since I can’t answer you question. I am not connected to these agencies po kasi. Thank You!
hi levy, tanong ko lang, ang kasambahay ko ay magcacalamity loan daw sa sss. she insists that she wont have to make payments to sss once she gets it. yung mga kaibigan daw nya ay hindi kinakaltasan para sa calamity loan nila nuong ondoy, is that true? she lives with us and altho floods were on our street hndi naman inabot sa bahay. we ourselves did not apply for calamity loan though we live in binan laguna, declared as in state of calamity.
Hi Brigitte, Thank you for dropping by. I haven’t tried to apply for a calamity loan so I have no idea kung makakaltasan sya or not. I suggest that you ask the people from the SSS near you to ask for advise.
pde po ba mag loan kht hindi pa nabubuo yung 36 mons. contribution ?
Hi Ednalyn, I have no idea and I can’t answer your question. As I have mentioned I am not connected to SSS. I suggest that you go visit an SSS branch near your place and inquire.
kung mag cacalamity loan ba, may connection ba ang contribution sa amount na pwede mong ma loan both sa sss at pag-ibig? or fixed na ang amount pag calamity loan ang i-aapply?
hi Vanessa, as I have mentioned I am not connected to SSS, so I suggest to contact the SSS branch near you
