Madalas nakikita lang ang insurance bilang usaping pera tulad ng monthly premiums, coverage, at benefits.

Pero hindi madalas pag-usapan ang value na makukuha mo dito: protection, peace of mind, and financial support during emergencies. 

Kahit na may savings at ibang investments ka na, insurance can still play an important role, especially during unexpected situations. To help you understand the difference, let’s look at some common insurance myths from a new perspective. 

Transform insurance myths into new mindsets 

The hidden value of insurance

Pwedeng tignan ang insurance na kapartner ng savings mo. It’s an added layer of financial support para sa illness, accidents, or unexpected expenses. 

On who can get insurance

Marami na ngayong insurance options para sa bawat budget, life stage, and lifestyle. The key is finding one that suits your needs. Some companies offer insurance for as low as PHP 50 per month to help you get started, then work toward increasing your coverage as your needs and income change. 

On getting different kinds of insurance

Insurance complements your savings and HMO, and protects all kinds of valuables from your health to jewelry, artwork, and even pets. Para hindi ito mabigat financially, pwede mong isabay ito sa life milestones mo.

For example, pwedeng kasabay ng first job ang life o health insurance para mas mababa ang premium payments, o kumuha ng insurance ‘pag bibili ka na ng house o car.
