• For a CTS account originally taken out under the “Magaang Pabahay” Program, the consolidated loan shall be secured by a First Real Estate Mortgage on the subject property to fully cover the payment of the connection thereto, the borrower shall pay for the unpaid monthly payments that would cover the expenses to be incurred in the conversion of the CTS to REM.
