With increasing tuition fees and extended years of basic education, having an education savings plan has become ever more important. Parents who decided all those years ago to invest in a Philam Life education plan for their children are now reaping the fruits of their wise decision.
In May of 2016, 50,000 young scholars received their education payouts for the first semester of SY 2016-2017. This second semester, Philam Life has again released over 51,000 education benefit payouts. Most of the benefit payouts were made through CTA (credit to account) as part of the company’s “ease of doing business” drive to ensure policyholders receive their benefit payments in a fast and convenient manner.
“Providing the best education for their loved ones continues to be a key priority among Filipinos. Nothing is more important and more fulfilling for parents than to see their children finish school,” said Philam Life CEO Aibee Cantos. “We understand this real life need and we are proud to be part of the journey in helping parents send their children to school,” Cantos concluded.
In keeping with the education savings needs of Filipino families today, Philam Life recently introduced a new education product called Future Scholar. Future Scholar is an investment and life insurance plan that provides long-term growth potential and guaranteed education benefits. It allows access to Philam Life’s expertly-managed funds and offers guaranteed education benefits. Future premiums would be waived should the unexpected happens, and for policy owners who took out the optional term insurance there would be additional payout that the family can use to expand the education fund. Customers can choose from two simple payment options – pay over 5 years or pay regularly until the child turns 17 years old.
Philam Life remains a trusted partner of parents in ensuring the continued education of their children. It has delivered timely payouts of over PHP10 billion in education benefits for the past 10 years, and over PHP131 billion in insurance benefits for the past six decades.
