Loan payments for all types of loans with due dates falling within the new ECQ dates will further get a 30-day grace period. This adds to the loan payment moratorium that the country’s maaasahan bank granted the previous month, for loan dues beginning March 15, 2020.

No. You will NOT PAY DOUBLE on succeeding due dates after the covered period. “HINDI ka namin sisingilin ng DOBLE ng regular na amortization mo matapos ang April 30 kung kailan inaasahan naming muling maguumpisa ang pagbayad ng loan (pagkatapos ng ECQ).”
Your loan maturity date will be moved further by 1 or 2 months depending on the number of amortizations which were granted a grace period for payment.

Due Date: every 16th of the Month
No. of payments covered by the grace period: 2 ( March 16 & April 16)
Current/Original Maturity Date: April 1, 2021
New Maturity Date: June 1, 2021*
