Keep Your Children’s Dreams Alive with a Plan B

Help your child achieve their goals even when you’re no longer around

“I want to be like you, Mama.” These are the words every parent wishes to hear, hoping their children will carry with them always. Your children’s aspirations are boundless, whether they are to become doctors, build bridges, or follow in your artistic footsteps.

But life doesn’t always go as planned. When a parent is no longer there to provide the means, these dreams shouldn’t have to fade. With life insurance, a parent’s love continues to protect even in their absence, ensuring that a child can finish school in the home they grew up in and have whatever they need to pursue their career aspirations.

It’s easy to think of life insurance as just another expense. But it is much more than that. It’s the safety net—the Plan B—that keeps their dreams alive and their plans on track. Without it, a premature loss can undo everything you have worked so hard to build. With a Plan B, your children enjoy the opportunity to keep moving forward, even when life takes an unexpected turn.

“Watching our children grow up, aspiring to follow our footsteps—just fills us with immense joy and compels us to provide them with every opportunity to realize those dreams, no matter what the future may bring,” expressed Renato Vergel De Dios, President and CEO of BDO Life. “Life insurance has to be the simplest, most powerful solution to sustaining those aspirations, even amidst life’s toughest challenges.”

Life insurance benefits intervene in those unforeseen circumstances to maintain routines and uphold the foundations established over the years. It gives your kids the confidence and stability to pursue their goals. That kind of security is a legacy that no loss can ever take away.

Get started on your Plan B

“As parents, our goal is to support our children wherever their journey leads them,” Vergel de Dios remarked. “The benefits of life insurance will enable us to fulfill that promise, even when we are no longer around. Our way of ensuring that life will be okay, no matter what the future holds.”

Alden Richards Spotted at BDO.

As he takes on some demanding roles in movies and on television, Alden Richards always looks assured. However, in his most recent video, Alden seems like a genuinely pleased BDO client—no acting required.

When I hear BDO, my first thought is safety In an interview, Alden remarked, “BDO is the right partner for me.” He felt safe with BDO because of their 50 years of experience.

In his latest video, Alden helps a stressed-out customer finish a lengthy list of tasks at the branch. The Universal Teller Machine and the Service Assist Machine, or SAM, are just two of the several digital advances he highlights.

Customers’ familiar ATMs are vastly different from the Universal Teller Machine. You are able to accomplish tasks that are often performed in person, such as depositing cheques and updating passbooks. Customers of BDO can also use QR codes and biometrics to make cashless transactions.

At the same time, instead of filling out paper forms, you can use SAM to input your transaction details when you visit a branch. To make your wait more bearable, we’ll issue you a queue number.

Another way that BDO’s Account Assist Kiosk streamlines banking is by eliminating the need for paper forms while opening an account at the branch. Using biometrics or a debit card and PIN, this machine makes it easy for BDO customers to access their accounts and apply for loans and credit cards. For your convenience, the forms are pre-filled automatically.

Transforming banking convenience into a digital phenomenon

Although he rarely carries cash anymore, Alden freely confesses that most of his transactions are digital these days. He can pay for both little and large purchases with ease thanks to BDO.

Now more than ever, it’s about getting digital. He revealed that BDO is following suit, embracing digital to provide its clients with greater convenience.

Alden values the ability to speak with a helpful branch officer whenever he needs to and the convenience of being able to enquire about various financial products and services all in one visit, even if BDO provides access to a virtual universe of options.

For further information on loans, credit cards, insurance, or investments, Alden directs the consumer to meet with BDO Connect product specialists in person or online.

I’ve used BDO’s services for over ten years now. Additionally, I am grateful since BDO provides me with various branch possibilities. Alden recalled that there was some personal guidance to help him grow his savings.

The bank trips are always prearranged by Alden because of his hectic schedule. Follow his lead and schedule an appointment at your nearest branch with only a few clicks at www.bdo.com.ph/book-your-visit. You can better organise your day, and it’s easy to use.

You can also open a BDO account online at any time via www.bdo.com.ph/apply from the comfort of your home or office, or really anyplace else. A valid form of identification, some time on your laptop or phone, and a short video conversation with an agent from BDO are all that is required.

Choose Alden; you have the option to bank at any of BDO’s countrywide branches and enjoy digital services when you choose and human service when you need it.

Just ₱1 per day with BDO Insure can help prevent Dengue.

Although it provides a nice vacation during the summer, the rainy season also presents its obstacles. The challenges range from traffic congestion to the onset of flu season and dengue.

Dengue is most common from June to November. Dengue-carrying insects like Aedes aegypti are more prevalent during the rainy season. The possibility for year-round transmission makes dengue a hazard even outside of peak months.

In January and February 2025, dengue illness jumped 40% from the previous year, according to the Department of Health. The spread of dengue makes it a national public health issue.

For year-round protection, pay ₱1 a day.

Dengue fever is a difficult, expensive illness that can affect the whole family. Imagine the stress, medical expenditures, and lost income. BDO Insure helps you locate inexpensive dengue insurance that provides peace of mind.

Get ₱10,000 monetary assistance if diagnosed with dengue for just ₱350 a year. For just ₱700 annually, receive ₱20,000 in cash support to cover medical bills, recuperation costs, and lost wages, alleviating the financial burden of dengue.

Protect your loved ones

You can buy dengue insurance for yourself, your kids, parents, spouse, or friend. This is a simple yet impactful way to show that you care. Each individual is allowed to have a maximum of one policy.

BDO Insure, part of BDO Group, helps you choose and claim personal and business insurance. BDO Insure can propose the correct coverage for your car, company, medical requirements, and pets.
