PAG-IBIG Records: Consolidate and Merge All Your Records Online

Have you worked in corporate for XX years? Does your place of employment vary by the city? Are there discrepancies in your PAG-IBIG records? If it’s a yes, then maybe you need to consolidate and merge your PAG-IBIG records. 

I have worked for over a decade and just recently discovered that I have two different records in PAG-IBIG. One of my former employers filed my contributions under my name with just the middle initial (Juan B. Dela Cruz) while all other employments I had were filed under my full name (Juan Bautista Dela Cruz). Because of this, PAG-IBIG suggested that I correct the discrepancy by submitting a Certificate of Oneness issued and signed by my employer. And afterward, I need to file a request for consolidation/merging of member records (RCMMR).

As I don’t have time to travel from one point to another at the time I worked on my records, PAG-IBIG suggested that I request my PAG-IBIG record consolidation online instead. Here’s how I did it:

1. Fill out the REQUEST FOR CONSOLIDATION/MERGING OF MEMBER’S RECORDS (RCMMR) form.

You can fill this out digitally or handwritten, BUT the signature must be a wet signature, meaning, an actual handwritten signature. So you will need to print, sign, scan (or take a picture) and save the form as .pdf or .jpg format. If you choose to scan the form, I recommend the CamScanner app on Android. Or the built-in scan feature on iOS.

2. Prepare other requirements such as one (1) valid ID accepted by the PAG-IBIG. I was advised by the hotline CSR to send two (2), though so I did. Note: They do not accept Philhealth and TIN ID. Acceptable IDs are:

• Passport
• Driver’s License
• Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) ID
• National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Clearance
• Police Clearance
• Postal ID
• Voter’s ID
• Barangay Certification or Barangay IDs or similar documents bearing picture of the Member
• Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) e-Card
• Social Security System (SSS) Card
• Senior Citizen Card
• Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) ID
• Overseas Filipino Worker ID
• Seaman’s Book or Seafarer’s Identification and Record Book (SIRB)
• Alien Certification of Registration/Immigrant Certificate of Registration
• Government Office and GOCC ID, e.g. AFP ID, Pag-IBIG Fund Loyalty Card
• Certification from the National Council for the Welfare of Disabled Persons (NCWDP)
• Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Certification
• Integrated Bar of the Philippines ID
• Company ID issued by Private Entities or Institutions Registered with or supervised or regulated either by the BSP, SEC, or IC.
•  Philippine Identification (PhilID) Card

Errors and Discrepancies on Member Records

If you have errors on your records, you may need to correct these errors first before requesting the consolidation of your PAG-IBIG records. Some common record errors are the following:

*Errors on the member’s personal details (name, birthdate, etc.) – You may need to file an MCIF first before requesting consolidation.

**Errors on the member’s PAG-IBIG records, i.e. contributions were filed under two different versions of the member’s full name. You have to request a Certificate of Oneness from your former employer. 

3. Send the merging request email to PAG-IBIG Fund at <contactus@pagibigfund.gov.ph>.

You can use the following template for your email:

SUBJECT: Request for Merging

Good day, PAG-IBIG!

Please assist with the merging and consolidation of records for the member named below.

Attached are the following:

• 2 ✕ government-issued IDs (UMID, PAG-IBIG Loyalty Card,etc.)
• Accomplished RCMMR Form

Name: <Full name including middle name>

MID No.: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

Birthdate: MON DD, YYYY

Employer/s: 

• Current: 
• Previous: (no need to list every past employments, the most recent previous employment will do)

Thank you very much. 

PAG-IBIG Fund will reply to your message with an acknowledgment email once you send the request.

How long do I have to wait for the consolidation and merging to be completed?

I have yet to receive the completion advice for my request as I write this. However, let me share with you the time that has elapsed since submitting my request:

August 1 – I sent my request and I received their acknowledgment email. 

August 2 – PAG-IBIG sent an update that they have endorsed my request to the office handling such queries.

August 7 – I am writing this blog.

I think it will take some time. I worked in different cities and many different companies so records are all over and may need to be coordinated with whomever.

EDIT: I called the PAG-IBIG hotline and I was advised that the average TAT for merging and consolidation was 17 days and 62 minutes. 

EDIT: The merging of my records was completed on August 13, 2022 (although I still have to communicate some other errors on my records.)

How to follow up for updates on the merging/consolidation request?

You can do so via email (use the transaction reference number from the last email PAG-IBIG sent to you as part of the subject line) or call the PAG-IBIG hotline 8-724-4244 (8-PAG-IBIG). I prefer to use the latter as it is so easy to connect to an agent. I just give my transaction reference number and they can track the request for updates. 

Do I really need to consolidate and merge my PAG-IBIG Records?

I don’t think it’s mandatory, but it is beneficial for the following reasons:

• when applying for a Short-Term Loan (STL) 
• when applying for a Provident Benefits Claim (PBC)
• when applying for a housing loan (not sure about this but it makes sense to have your records organized for easy verification by the developer or loaning institution)
• when there’s an error on your records (just like with my case where I have two different records in their database. It took 10 years before I discovered it!)
• when you work in multiple companies that are located in different cities
• for having singular and organized PAG-IBIG records

I hope this blog helps you! Share away!
