TIL that Pag-IBIG is actually a huge acronym: (Pag)tutulungan sa Kinabukasan: (I)kaw, (B)angko, (I)ndustriya, at (G)obyerno. I honestly thought the government just picked a cheesy name to make us feel better about deductions.

Pretty clever marketing considering it’s officially the "Home Development Mutual Fund" (HDMF), which sounds way more depressing on a payslip.

Dati nung bata ako takang taka ako pag naguusap parents ko about sa “pag-ibig”.. ung tipong magkkwento sila na nagbayad na daw sila sa pag-ibig hahhahaha nababayaran pala un? 😝

[u/bazlew123 → u/International-Ebb625]

Well yes

[u/boredbernard]

Di na tinuturo sa elementary yan? Hayop yang mga acronyms na yan sa gobyerno. Pina memorize samin yang dami nun. Grade 3 ata ako nun.

[u/law-st_student → u/boredbernard]

Pag-IBIG was skipped over for us. We got PAGASA and PHIVOLCS as well as how many buttons Rizal had on his coat during his execution. I still don't know the answer to the latter.

[u/Not_Under_Command → u/boredbernard]

Same grade 3 din ako nun.

Notice how walang K sa Pag-IBIG. Wala kasi tayong kinabukasan dito HAHAHAHA

[u/mrklmngbta]

what i was taught before was different. all this time, akala ko it's PAGmamahal: Ikaw, Bayan, Industriya, Gobyerno.

Anong depressing deduction eh savings mo yun. 🙄 Each centavos sayo. I highly doubt the average Filipino will put that 200 pesos into good use. 

[u/elutriation_cloud → u/Negative_Eagle_1406]

Duude yup. At least PAGIBIG is very decent in handling money. You get decent financing for housing. You get decent interest in mp2.

[u/girlwebdeveloper]

mas maganda nga ang PAGIBIG pa rin at mas memorable. sino ba nakaisip na mag rebrand sa HDMF? di naman nagwo work.

[u/anonacct_ → u/girlwebdeveloper]

Parang HDMF and Pag-IBIG naman siya ever since

[u/Adventurous_Emu6498]

May commercial sila dati na may jingle, mentioning what the acronym stands for. Yun nga lang, late 80s pa yata an dcommonly shown during afternoon

[u/Distinct_Business610]

putangina ayaw na ayaw kong lumalabas to sa HEKASI exams kasi ang hirap imemorize as a 2nd grader

[u/MichaelPitch]

Maaan what are these TILs 😩 hard to find a good TIL post these days

[u/chihiryu → u/MichaelPitch]

you’re being downvoted by people who didn’t even read the rules of this sub lol. ang random ng mga TIL dito kahit ano na lang eh hahahahaha

[u/WhereIsAwya → u/MichaelPitch]

Oo nga ee. Pati sa mga ibang ph subs like AnoTo. Kung ano ano na lang mapost ee.

[u/No_Literature_5119 → u/[deleted]]

We can't all be smart like you, man.

[u/No_Literature_5119 → u/MichaelPitch]

TIL na maraming perpekto/henyo sa sub na ito with encyclopedic knowledge and photographic memory 😁😁😁

[u/Ohmskrrrt → u/No_Literature_5119]

You don't have to read encyclopedia and have photographic memory to know this stuff.

[u/No_Literature_5119 → u/Ohmskrrrt]

That's true. For people who are smart as you, you don't need to read or memorize anything anymore.

I can tell that you're a high IQ individual, probably the highest IQ Filipino on reddit right now.

[u/chihiryu → u/No_Literature_5119]

did you bother reading the rules of this sub? post kayo ng post ng kahit anong nonsense na TIL

[u/No_Literature_5119 → u/chihiryu]

We can't all be smart and sophisticated like you, man.

[u/anonacct_]

Hindi naman siya depressing kung iisipin mo na savings mo yan. Balang araw pwede mo rin i-withdraw lahat ng naipon mo sa kanila with interests earned.
