Preferred dividend payout:
Do you want to get paid annually or you want to have your dividend after 5 years or more? I just don’t know which one is better. Since I am just a regular person, I choose annually so I can see how much interest I earn yearly.
Mode of payment:
Do you want to do it yourself every month or you want to have it deducted from your salary monthly? Well, in my own experience, since my employer is always late remitting our monthly contribution, I choose to do it myself(OTC).

What to do after applying in Pag-IBIG MP2 online?
One very important thing to do after the registration process is to pay your first monthly contribution to Pag-IBIG Fund office nearby. Not online nor in the payment center.
Why? According to our friends in Pag-IBIG Fund, the first payment should be done at Pag-IBIG Fund because the account does not exist yet online nor in the payment center so there is no way you can do it elsewhere.
Other members who have opened their accounts online say that they were able to send their first payment online.
In my case, I asked a friend to deposit 500 pesos to the account number generated for me and in less than 24 hours, it was already reflected in my Pag-IBIG virtual account.
After your first payment, your second payments and afterward can be done online and thru payments centers.
