Helping Filipinos build a secure and confident financial future — one plan at a time.
Maria is a 30-year-old OFW in Dubai.
A hard worker. A silent fighter.
A daughter who sends remittances every month, choosing her family’s needs before her own.
For years, she believed that was enough. Until news about someone close to her hit too close to home.
The Friend Who Gave Everything… and Got Nothing BackAte Liza was like an older sister to her. One weekend, their group chat suddenly went quiet — no replies from Ate Liza, no updates.
Then the message came:
“Please pray for Ate Liza. She has breast cancer.”
Her employer ended her contract. She was forced to return to the Philippines. No work. No income. No savings for herself because everything she ever earned went to her family.
Despite raising three children
(all graduates, all working, all married)…
none of them could help her when she needed money for chemotherapy.
Every response she heard was the same:
“Ma, wala kami ngayon.”
“Ma, may sarili kaming gastos.”
Now she’s stage 4.
Very weak.
And painfully alone.
The Question That Haunted MariaMaria wanted to help her friend.
But she couldn’t. She was also a breadwinner. Her salary was already carrying an entire household back home.
That’s when the fear settled in:
“Pag ako ang nagkasakit… may tutulong ba sakin?”
Children grow.
Children build their own families.
Children face their own financial battles.
And the parent who provided everything?
Sometimes ends up with nothing.
Ate Liza’s situation wasn’t just sad.
It was a warning.
“Hindi ko hahayaang mangyari ’yan sa akin.”That night, Maria made a quiet but powerful promise to herself.
While she was still healthy, employed, and insurable, she finally took the step she’d been postponing.
She chose a plan built for long-term security:
The Choice That Gives Her PeaceNow, Maria feels something she hasn’t felt in years:
Relief.
If sickness comes, she’s protected multiple times.
If retirement comes, she won’t rely on anyone.
If life tests her, she has a shield of her own.
“Ayokong matulad kay Ate. Gusto ko pagtanda ko, may dignidad pa rin ako.”
Her friend’s painful reality became her wake-up call.
Her decision became her security.
