Why Filipinos Are Not Buying Insurance

Believe me when I say that Filipinos need life insurance. Why? Life insurance is a disciplined financial program that enables one to prepare for life’s uncertainties such as death, disability, sickness, or old age. PhilHeath and government/company pension is not enough to cover the loss.
Here in the Philippines, typical Filipinos struggle with meeting their daily expenses. Sometimes, an ordinary worker’s wage is not enough to shelter financial needs. One would prioritize the basics such as food, water, electricity. I guess this is one of the challenges many Insurance agents face. Getting an insurance is never a priority.
Is it really a priority? I would be lying if I say it’s not. But I cannot just force someone to get one without helping him understand its totality. Insurance is a life-saver. Allow me to expound on this. You may be asking how come a death benefit be a life-saver. While it cannot bring back the life of the insured, it can help sustain the lives of those who will be left behind. A breadwinner, per se cannot continually give income to his family once he’s taken out of the picture. You know who can do that? Life insurance. It’s a transfer of risk. Okay, you are not the breadwinner. You are single, independent, self-sufficient. Do you need insurance? Of course, you do. You’ll never know what will happen in the future. Besides, life insurance is also for wealth accumulation.

What are your goals in life?
What do you want to achieve 5 or 10 years from now?

For you who's reading this, I want you to revisit your goals in life. What are your action plans to achieve those goals? Getting a life insurance can help your financial goals be a reality. :) P.S. It can actually be a passive income at the same time.

FROM CORPORATE TO STAY-AT-HOME-MOM: HOW TO COPE UP WITH THE TRANSITION

Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws. -Barbara Kingsolver I was a Medical Sales Representative in a Multi-National company for six years when I finally decided to leave the corporate world. I was at that point in my life where I felt I was no longer fulfilled as an individual. I loved my job, the company, and the people that I had worked with, but I felt something was missing. I was also having problems with our babysitter that when she brought her boyfriend in our house without asking permission it made my decision to resign even stronger. I felt like missing a lot of moments with my daughter when I should be the one spending more time with her that she’s still a toddler. I prayed and asked help from my spiritual mentors and to my husband who supported me all the way. It was a leap of faith, having a little savings and the fear of what will happen next. I was filled with fear before I resigned. I was not sure of how things would turn out. Indeed,...

WHAT MOTHERHOOD TAUGHT ME THAT MADE ME A BETTER INDIVIDUAL

To all mothers in every circumstance, including those who struggle- and all will- I say “Be peaceful. Believe in God and yourself. You are doing better than you think you are.” -Jeffrey Holland I grew up in an environment where women are empowered. My mom single-handedly raised us when my father died. I was only 6 that time, my younger brother at 4. Life was hard but I didn’t know that because my mother was able to conceal the ugly side of life. Fast forward to present and I am now a mother myself. My daughter will be turning 3 this May and so far, I’m still able to cope up with the hustle and bustle of motherhood. Wow! Life’s pretty amazing and chaotic with a toddler. Being a millennial mom, these are the things that I’ve learned and experienced that I want to share with you. If you are a mother yourself, I know you can relate with these. If you are expecting or planning to have kids in the future, these might give you an idea of what awaits you. #1. A baby i...

Product Review: Physiogel Calming Relief Gentle Cream Cleanser

Taking care of our skin especially our face is essential. Wearing make-up can enhance your physical beauty but if you don’t take good care of your face, you’re most likely to age faster. I was not into skin care before, if I clean my face with soap and water, it’s good to go already. However, I realized that it’s better to have a good skin care routine and not have make-up on your face than wearing make- up daily without proper skin care management. Today, I am going to share to you a product review on one of my favorite cleanser/make-up removers. Been using this for nine months already and I like the effect on my face. Of course, I use other skin products so the over-all result on my face is not solely exclusive to this product I am giving a review. This post is not sponsored, and I am writing this out of my own willingness because I really like the product. This could help other women and men in their decision before trying one. The product: Physiogel Hypoallergenic Calming...
