Philam Life expands protection to DSWD 4Ps in CALABARZON

As one of the leading life insurance companies in the country, Philam Life has already secured the trust and confidence of its clients with its comprehensive protection plans and quality service. Just recently, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) chose Philam Life again to insure the beneficiaries of its Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) in Region IV-A or the CALABARZON Region.

The 4Ps is a human development program of the national government that invests in the health and education of poor households. Philam Life will provide life and accident insurance, including medical reimbursement due to accidents, to 4Ps beneficiaries – same benefits as with the agreement between Philam Life and DSWD NCR 4Ps, which was formalized last year.
