On Life Insurance and Heartwarming Stories

Do you have life insurance?
If you have dependents, then you should have one – that’s the simple truth.
Unfortunately, not many Filipinos consider getting life insurance a current priority.
In fact, a study released back in 2011 by insurer, Manulife Philippines, says that “Filipino families are vulnerable to financial catastrophe because only 13 percent of the country’s population has insurance.”
I guess that’s one of the reasons why a few insurance companies in the Philippines have been very active lately in their marketing campaigns, using various media, including online channels, to promote the importance of having insurance.
Why do you need insurance?
Today, instead of giving you a list of reasons, let me just warm your heart with a music video, and two short films which I know you’ll all enjoy watching.
One warning though before you press play… be sure to have tissue paper nearby.
