Life insurance in the Philippines
A life insurance policy covers a death benefit for the insured's beneficiaries and has additional investment features that allow the insured to gain long-term savings benefits over time. This product, called variable and traditional life insurance, has gained popularity among Filipinos in recent years. As of 2020, the number of newly issued variable life insurance policies reached 652,000. In addition, the value of premiums of new policies for variable insurance amounted to approximately 32 billion Philippine pesos in the same year.
