For landbased Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW), have a look at the loan comparison chart we put together from information we gathered from different private lending companies. This table serves as a calculator for various loan amounts. It shows how much your monthly payment would be for 6 months and no grace period given the loan amount. We use the net pay out amount, after any up-front fees deducted to make the numbers comparable. Wherever possible, we use mystery shopping and actual amortization tables shared by customers:

Try to visit their website: https://www.balikbayad.ph/
hi mam pede poba mag loan ng 200k peso domestic helper po ko s hk
Hello Evelyn! The loan amount to be granted will depend on several factors po. Tinitignan ni lender kung magkano ang kinikita ninyo buwan-buwan, kung mayroon kayong mga assets na maaaring magamit bilang collateral, at ang kakayahan magbayad. Depende po ito per lender.

Hi Sapia, that depends on the lending company. Suggest you visit their websites and send an inquiry directly.
Please give me a calculation for 300 000 divided to 18 months plus interest
Hi Paps, that should be somewhere between 30k and 35k in monthly installment. Please contact the lending company of your choice directly for an exact computation.
Is it possible to apply during working period instead of the period before departure? Thank you.

hi good day.
I am planning to loan as ofw..How much the interest of 50,000 in 6months?
Hi Ramonito! Interest rate is at 7.5%, so that’s 50,000 x 7.5% every month
We’re not sure though if this is the equation followed for the computation of interest payment 
Hi, I’m in ofw from KSA with professional category job. As a member of OWWA, is it possible that a loan can be granted, say max. cap 2M, to be used not to start a new business but to be used as investment capital in a well established company inclined in agricultural business??
Hi Adrian! The approved amount will depend on your collateral, capacity to pay as evidenced by your income, and credit history among others. Ideally, the OWWA Loan is for business purposes and we’re not sure if OWWA/LandBank will approve the purpose of “investment capital.”
Hi po..
Ex ofw po ako..2016 ako umuwi ng pinas.
May maliit po ako negosyo..nais ko po sana madagdagan..makakapagloan po ba ako kahit walang collateral at walang co maker? May dti at business permit po ako..nagreremit po ako sa pag ibig ng 600 pesos per month..pwede ko po bang gamitin ang loan ko thru pag ibig?

Hi Florinda! You may check with PAG-IBIG if they offer business loans for members. OWWA Loan is specifically for OFWs with existing employment contract.
