Rosalinda Baldoz explains the rationale behind the program while Undersecretary Danilo Cruz shares some of the guidelines and steps in securing a loan from the government. The loanable amount may start at P300,000 and can go as high as P2 million. A 7.5% interest per annum applies with up to a maximum of seven-year term payment subject to loan project.
