It is a term insurance product with 18 years coverage.

Life insurance provides financial protection for your family. And among the many types of life insurance out there, term insurance is the most affordable.

How affordable is it? For a 30-year old, the annual premium would only be P5,710 for a P1 million coverage. Again, you only have to pay P5,710 per year (not per month, not per quarter) and you’re already insured for P1 million.

It has an optional savings and investment component.

From our earlier example, the annual premium of a 30-year old with P1 million coverage is P5,710.

For the first year, there’s an additional one-time policy fee of P500. But for the next 17 years, the annual premium will be fixed at P5,710.

As the table shows, you were contributing P12,000 every year for the first five years. This is more than your annual premium. So the excess cash is going to your PDF.

For this illustration, we assume that the PDF investment consistently earns 4% every year. This is the rate your money that’s invested inside your PDF is growing every year.

On the 6th year, you suddenly needed P20,000 for a personal expense. Since your PDF is worth P29,113 during this time. You have the option to withdraw from it, which you did.

On the 7th year, times were difficult and your budget is tight. But because the value of your PDF can cover the annual premium. You have the option to not pay that year. And that’s exactly what you did.

Then starting on the 8th year, you chose to contribute P20,000 for the next five years. This grew your PDF amount significantly.

It grew so much that you didn’t have to contribute anymore because the PDF can already cover your annual premiums until the 18th year of the policy.

Interestingly, during the 16th year, on your 45th birthday, you chose to withdraw P40,000 from your PDF to use for your birthday party. Which is totally okay because your PDF is worth P71,661.

And this is how Manila Bankers Life MOST 18 works.
