It was not my first time in an event that talks about family, but it was my first time be affected that much and feel the need to share it as detailed as possible to my readers.
Family Talk, a client forum of Philam Life, was about raising family, dreaming, building your dream, preparing for retirement and how to handle family finances. Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan was the first speaker who talked about family and raising a dreamer:
Dare for them and be with them.
Raise them from here to there.
Explore the world with them.
Affirm them along the way.
Make way for them, provide for what is needed.
Encourage them again and again.
Remind them of the dream and it’s best by your example.
I have four dreamers with me and the thought of how to provide them what is needed struck me the most. I do have a part-time job and my husband provides for us very well. Maybe we can send them to good universities and they can finish their college education and they would be thankful. But after college, I do not know what will happen… Though one thing I am sure of: we should not burden our kids with our retirement. I guess aside from education, that’s another best thing we can give to them, an assurance that they don’t have to look after us when we grow older. And there’s also the question (which of course I prefer not to answer haha) what happens if something happened to us? Scary thought eh?
My mom made us realized the importance of insurance and Maricel Laxa- Pangilinan’s talk is an affirmation that we really need insurance. Actually, it took us years before finally saying yes to my mom. I wish we had earlier. But for you, my dear readers, it’s about time you put life insurance on your priority list. If like me, you have the same dreams for your kids and worries about what the future holds, then Philam Life’s Family Secure might just be the perfect plan for you.
Here’s a video of Family Secure, please do watch and tell me how you feel after watching it:
Family Secure offers high protection coverage during your working years: for P44 a day or P16,000 a year, you can enjoy a life coverage of 1.5 M (male age 30). Yes, P44 a day!
Family Secure offers Flexible benefits for changing protection needs. You have the option to choose the most protection during your working years, as this is the time when your family needs you the most. As you grow older and your family becomes more financially independent, you can have the option to lower your coverage and increase your savings as a preparation for retirement.
Family Secure offers long-term savings for a comfortable retirement.
Here’s a short illustration on how Philam Life’s Family Secure works:
Age 30:
- 30,000 PhP/ year for insurance
- coverage: 3,135,000 PhP
Age 33 (bigger family= bigger financial responsibility)
- 30,000 PhP/ year for insurance
- higher coverage: 3,291,750 PhP
- retirement fund: 17,661 PhP
Age 35 (bigger family + new house = bigger and bigger financial responsibility)
- 30,000 PhP/ year for insurance
- higher coverage: 4,702,500 PhP

Age 60 (kids financially independent)
- 30,000 PhP/ year for insurance
- decrease coverage: 165,000 PhP

- client can continue to pay 30,000 per year or opt to withdraw his retirement fund now amounting to 2,507, 062 PhP
30,000 PhP per year is nothing, considering the amount of protection it can give to your family.

October 21, 2012 at 6:54 amI have to admit that I haven’t been giving my kid’s future much thought. Now, the fact that I’m unprepared scares the hell out of me! That insurance plan looks feasible, and affordable.

October 21, 2012 at 8:54 amOur investment of 10k two years ago that we place with Philam Life mutual funds was withdrawn early this year at almost 18k! Now that’s something you don’t get anymore with bank savings. It’s actually impressive. But it’s another thing altogether when it comes to life insurance. After what happened to Prudential Life, I’m not sure I’m willing to risk it again.

October 21, 2012 at 12:17 pmAn insurance plan is really important for a family. We never know what will happen…

October 21, 2012 at 12:18 pmMy husband and I always talk about possibilities like that, which is why even though I am a WAHM and have no fixed income per month, we decided that we need to be both insured, just in case lang, you never know what will happen dba, and we want our kids to have a future, even though we’re not a part of it, scary thought! and if we’re blessed to still be living until we’re really old and grey, then at least we will not be a burden to our children. 😛
Wow, I wish I have read this sooner, because mine cost a few pesos higher than 44php! 😛 Perhaps I’m going to switch next year! 😛

October 22, 2012 at 6:46 amThis is a good idea my dear admin. I also thinking about that since I have two small kids what iffff….Life insurance is very expensive in US but i guess its important for your family if something went wrong. Hubby drop his because he cannot afford to pay it every month so expensive here…

October 22, 2012 at 8:38 amSaving for our future so that our kids won’t have to worry about us should be foremost in our minds. That’s one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves and our children.

October 22, 2012 at 9:18 amI’ve been thinking about getting an insurance-assurance for a while now. Iniisip ko kung kaya pa ba isingit yan sa budget…
Mauie says
October 22, 2012 at 9:35 amThis plan is affordable. A couple of years ago, the husband and I got ourselves a pension plan similar to this one because we thought it to be better than getting Rap an educational plan. Anyway, he’s still the benefactor should anything happens to us.
Mommy Pehpot says
October 22, 2012 at 4:20 pmthat’s my idea too.. I mean as long we are around, we can finance the education of the kids.. it’s more practical to get an insurance (which can be turn into a pension plan).. para in case may mangyaring hindi maganda, protektado ang pamilya 🙂

October 22, 2012 at 6:11 pmAfter attending the family talk, my husband and I talked about this. Hope we can pursue our plans before the year ends.

October 25, 2012 at 7:41 pmHaving an insurance should be one of our priorities. But, let’s face the reality, we really don’t realize the importance of having one. I was once a financial advisor and I educate bank clients regarding this. Most of them are more interested with investment savings plan than insurance coverage. It’s more advisable to get an insurance plan combined with investment opportunities.
