On the morning of July 29, PLIA hosted a special conference at the Namayan Room, Fairmont Makati, unveiling the findings of their landmark consumer study, PULSE (Philippine Understanding of Life Security & Envisioned Goals Study). The study offers valuable insights into how Filipinos’ views on life insurance are evolving due to inflation, digital technology, and shifting financial priorities reshaping how they approach protection, savings, and long-term security. These findings help life insurance providers like Fortune Life better understand client needs, enabling them to deliver more relevant, responsive, and inclusive financial solutions.
Fortune Life remains committed to supporting PLIA in its mission to promote financial protection, drive industry growth, and empower more Filipinos for generations to come.
