April 21, 2020

Manila, Philippines – Manulife Philippines and Manulife China Bank Life (MCBL) have announced that they are giving a special rate of 20% off the first-year premium for select life insurance products, to make coverage more accessible to Filipinos during these trying times.

“The challenges we currently face remind us of our true essentials – family, health, security. We’d like to help Filipinos have the comfort and peace of mind that they are protected, and can provide for their families, even in the event of unexpected illness or loss of life,” said Richard Bates, Manulife Philippines President and CEO. “By making our products more accessible, we hope to help more Filipinos care for those that matter to them most.”
