The General Manager of MIAA Alfonso Cusi said in an interview, “We're playing host here to Pag-Ibig for a place for OFWs to register as members so that they can avail of benefits of Pag-Ibig. When they come here before they leave, they register. What we will do here is they (Pag-Ibig) will have a booth where OFWs can come and register.”
Aside from registration, Pag-Ibig members can also check their contribution records and loan payments and balances via an online verification counter at NAIA Terminals 1 and 2,
