Based from an Insurance Executive, only 10% of the Households and Business are insured here in the Philippines. 90% are at risk!

Fire Insurance in the Philippines is still on its early stage. Most of us consider it as an additional expense or a useless paper. But to tell you honestly, fire insurance or any insurance should be considered an asset or an investment. Most people also thought that Fire Insurance is expensive, it’s not!!! Before i give a sample computation, first I would like to share with you the statistics of Fire Causes in the Philippines.(source: NSO). Even worst is when you see the ratio of Fireman to Population! Real scary!

If you can only imagine, we have the rarest case of fire causes from the most common form, we are not exempted from these causes. Fire can burn down your house even if its made of concrete! Fire can burn down your whole life of investment! Fire can kill everyone, nobody is exempted, Rich or Poor, Baby or adult. Congressman De Venecia was a victim of Fire with fatality,a friend of mine was a victim of fire also,all died except him. For a small amount of annual premium, it’s better to be sure and protected!!!

After the Ondoy, Pepeng, Ramil and Santi, i believe NOW is the best time to have your business insured! I’ve been hearing lots of unfortunate events that has happened to residents and the same way to business owners, Nobody was spared with these Acts of God! Good thing for those who are insured and BAD news for those who are not! Insurance as the term explains itself will help you in these times.This is where its value is only appreciated! If one family loses around 1-2M in property damage, what more to those businesses with stocks over 30M to 100M! Tsk Tsk! i hope you are all insured!Better be safe!
