Last August 3, Sun Life Philippines held its last session of its Sun Talks: Digital Media Edition focusing on the topic of “ Achieving Your Own Brighter Life” at the Sun Life Centre in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.
The speakers on the 3rd session are Ms. Jennifer Del Mundo, Agency Strategy & Digital Transformation Head, Sun Life Philippines and Mr. Josh Jayzzer De Leon, Financial Advisor, Sun Life Philippines.
After the talk, it made me realize how insurance plays a pivotal role in securing your future and providing us with a peace of mind.
It’s an unpredictable world as they say, whether it’s safeguarding your health, protecting your assets, and especially planning for your loved ones’ financial security, insurance is an effective tool that can help us navigate life’s uncertainties.
In this article, I would like to share what I gathered from the talks coming from the speakers and along with some essential steps to plan for a brighter future.
Assess Your Current Financial Situation
Before you start planning your insurance options, the first step is to evaluate your current financial status. Check your income, expenses, assets, and liabilities. Determine your net worth and analyze your spending habits. As you do your financial assessment, it will provide a clear picture of where you stand financially and help you identify areas for improvement.
Saving money is also important. You can create an emergency fund to cover unexpected expenses and save for future goals.
During one of our talks Sun Life Philippines has a tool to easily figure out your coverage needs is to use this life insurance calculator. You can try it here.
Know The Different Types of Insurance
There are many types of insurance and it comes in various forms with each catering to different needs. Here are some of what we found out:
- Health Insurance: Provides coverage for medical expenses, hospitalization, and preventive care.
- Life Insurance: Offers financial protection to your beneficiaries in case of your demise.
- Auto Insurance: Protects against damages and liabilities related to your vehicle.
- Retirement Insurance: Ensure financial security during your golden years.

Choose The Right Insurance Provider
It is important to find the right insurance company if you want to invest on your first policy. Remember that all insurance companies are not the same. You’re on the phone or laptop scrolling to research which insurance company you’ll go or talk to.
After summing up all the three sessions I attended. It made me realize that Sun Life Philippines is one of the best insurance provider in the country. It’s not because I attended their event but after learning what makes this company so great after all.

Seek Help With Professional Financial Advisors
During the talk Ms. Jennifer Del Mundo shared some of her experiences on the different type of insurance plans she was investing for herself and for family. There are so many types of insurance and even I had a hard time which one to choose. Good thing that there are some people like financial advisers who can help and guide you.
