Tips on choosing a Life Insurance Company
- Make sure the company is doing good – you need an insurance company that will last long so that you can claim insurance when you are old. Check if their financial health is good, as their assets and income.
- Research feedback – check what people are saying about the insurance company, are they happy? Have they been received the insurance?
- Check policies of different companies – compare prices and quotations from different companies and see what you can afford to pay and also has great benefits
Travel Insurance
Off to travel abroad or within the country? Always get travel insurance.

- I actually purchased Safetywing which offers $6.60 for 5 days and was able to get claims after my car accident in Pakistan.
Insurance is really important. Hindi natin alam kung anong mangyayari, so better mas prepared tayo. Treat a Life Insurance not as an expense but an investment, you or your beneficiaries will get what you have paid for. For travel, Imagine spending $30 for an insurance but having an expense of $15,000 when you get into an accident; so it will be worth-it. Pero sana, no accident nalang, para happy. I hope you think this through, you can also check our article on the Different Types of Insurance in the Philippines.
