“Our main objective for this campaign is to address the priority gap most Filipinos are exhibiting, meaning they know about insurance, but they do not prioritize getting one,” said Roche Vandenberghe, FWD Philippines Chief Marketing and Digital Business Officer. “With more Filipinos are doing all they can to secure the best future for themselves and their loved ones, we want to support them by making sure their hard work will always be protected.”
Ms. Vandenberghe refers to a 2023 consumer study finding 81% of Filipinos allocating more of their budget for essentials due to inflation. Based on the same study, 78% of Filipinos are also reportedly saving money for the future.
While these numbers suggest Filipinos have become more practical with their finances, many still show a priority gap in other essentials such as income protection. This contributes to the Philippines having one of the lowest insurance penetration rates in the region at less than 2%.
Unaddressed, the priority gap leads to protection gap, where they are more susceptible to economic losses due to their vulnerability to critical illness, accidents, and loss of life.
As out-of-pocket expenses for essentials continuously rely on their income, more Filipinos can benefit by prioritizing financial protection as a necessity in building their best future.
Ms. Vandenberghe emphasizes that FWD’s approach is anchored on protecting people’s desired way of life. “We want to do our part in ensuring that Filipinos can celebrate living and build their best future. What you do today makes a difference tomorrow, and by choosing FWD, you can thank yourself later—we got your back.”
