I also felt the same fear of leaving my 3 kids permanently without any money that they can use for their daily needs and education. This is the reason why I save 50% of my salary since the time I started working as an employee of URC.

However, when my mother died last January 2000, I realized that my savings will not be sufficed to cover all the future financial needs of my 3 kids when I die at their young age. This is actually my personal advocacy why I got my first life insurance. The incident happened when my mother died of Lymph nodes Cancer. My youngest brother and I accompanied the body of our mother inside the morgue of Perpetual Help Hospital in Binan, Laguna. He left me for awhile to get the dress of our mother and when I looked at the body of my mother, I saw myself lying on the bed and not my mother. I saw that I was being cleaned by the “embalsamador”. When I looked at the door of the morgue, I saw my 3 kids that time, crying and shouting — “Mama, paano na kami?? paano na kami kakain at mag-aaral, wala ka na??” (My kids were in Manila when my mother died, so it was just a clear imagination, which I was so scared after seeing myself dead already.)

After the funeral, I looked for the life insurance plans that will give financial security for my kids. So, few months after, I bought my first life insurance plan in yr 2000. Currently, I have 3 plans and will buy again additional coverage this July since my kids are still young and studying. I am doing this because of my deepest love for my kids.

Because of this advocacy why I continue to be an agent of Sunlife since 2004, to educate Filipinos how important to secure the future of our families. I am very proud to be Sunlifer!
