My Contribution to Make Philippines a Better Place

Everyday is an opportunity to learn. To keep myself abreast with new updates in the industry and how to change outlook from being purely an insurance agent or salesperson to being a very effective Financial Consultant: I am to broaden my knowledge and improve my skills. I have to improve myself and be a cut above the rest- not to be a sub-par agent. One who effectively assesses the financial needs of my clients and finds out what they have done and what more they can do to improve the handling of their finances, and most importantly, to remind them of why they worked so hard and thus, guide them to set their priorities right.

My role therefore, is not just to sell any product, but to make them see the value of their human capital-their ability to provide and create what they wanted for their families to have such as to build the house they dreamed of, send their kids to the best schools, go to their dream vacations, do civic activities, and give contributions. They all can achieve their goals, be financially secured for as long as they can, and work hard.

We the working men and women have to put much value of our life’s potential. With this we have to consider the risk that surrounds us. What are these risks? The uncertainties of what lies ahead us. Uncertainties such as diagnosis of critical illnesses, disability, and untimely death, we don’t like this to happen but if it does, it would greatly affect our ability to work- our income potential and therefore, would be a hindrance to the realization of the goals that we have set or the dreams we aspire for our loved ones. What do our clients have if such events happen? How much do they have? Would it be enough? What do you have? Is it enough? This is where I can give the solutions for it. I am their friend and their Financial Consultant. I will make them see the need, provide them the solutions, and make them act upon it.

I am therefore not a salesman. I will, at the best of my abilities, create the money my client’s family needs – to unload them of the possible financial burden that they should not experience. We all deserve the best in life. We all are provided with what we need. We have the best resources, the ability to work. It is our responsibility to be good stewards of these blessings. How well we manage our finances today determines the kind of life we (given the time) and our loved ones will live.

Would we allow putting out hard work without having a pay off? Would we just play today and pay it later? What does our client want to be, what do you want to be: A blessing or a burden? What we do today will determine it.

This is my mission. Given this position, I take it my responsibility to let my clients see, feel, and act on the best solutions I can give. A contribution we all can take part in changing and making our country a better place not just for our generation, but for the next generations to come.
