September 2010 Philippines Bar Result (03/18/2011)
- Happy Holidays!
The list of September 2010 Philippine Bar Exam is here. Check out your names here!
Need some advice and insights about this.
Recently my family was encouraged by a common colleague to invest money with Pru Life UK Philippines in exchange of big return of money in due time. Since my family trusted that person, they invested a big sum of money to which I strongly opposed upon learning. WHY? The hell I know about this, I never heard of this company yet and how sure are we that money will be grow considering the economy right now. It's a big gamble on our part. But what can I do, I am just their daughter, I don't the money but I do care because it's a big investment and big investment could only mean two things: SUCCESS or FAILURE. Why not invest for a small amount and see what the return and how good does the investment goes. But, hell no. It's like one day millionaire! Now, I've received the news that the investment is not good. Thus, I began to think and wonder, a lot of questions entered in my mind and I need an answer.
Here are my questions:
1. What's up with this company?
2. Where are they investing our money and why they are not giving the investors the direct to their accounts? Why they are giving it to the agent?
3. Where is their main office here in the Philippines? Is that for real too because all I've seen is flyers of company top view of the tower only.
4. Do we receive compensation or something when the investment is bad?
5. Any good or bad experience you've had with this?
6. Are we losing big deal here or not? Is this a right decision?
Please do not hesitate to leave feedback because we are in need of advice.

Hi im sarah i want to invest in prulife uk but im afraid of i don't understand the benefits of this insurance..
Thank you for sharing your experiences with Pru Life U.K! I'm now excited to have my own insurance. Thanks again! =)
Hi im a pru life holder plan where in continuous ang paghulog (lifetime). Before I got to sign and invest, my Adviser showed me projections for yearly Fund Value (ito ung kinita ng ininvest ko). But sadly, parang malayo sa projections ung nag appear sa FV ko (as in sobrang layo). Does this really happen? Syempre hard earned money ang hinihulog monthly.. So Im kinda hoping na malapit sa inaasahan ko..
igotinked ,
I really loved this post. At first, you're wondering if what Pru Life Uk is. And having doubts if it is true or not nor it will grow or failed. And as i checked the comments you are now happy with Pru Life Uk! :) Im happy for you im only 21 and also planning to invest to this insurance. This post and comments makes to surely invest. Thank you! :)
@keya "Im so doubtful of the plan i got.. :( premiums are forever. Whole life i think.. :( what kind of insurance/investment is this? Is it wise to have this? This is the only options they offered"
there's also a 5 , 7, 10, 15 yrs to pay only
@stef, send me an email at gianjoaquin.rn@gmail.com so we can talk about your financial needs. I'm a Prulife UK Financial Consultant and Business Development Manager
Should I get an insurance policy even nka base ako sa abroad
try to compare with other companies that offer VUL first. in terms of transparency and accountability, i would recommend Sun Life of Canada. they are very prompt with records and statements - and will always update you how your investment is doing.

It is always best to read and discuss with your financial advisors. I am a full time employee and at the same time an insurance advisor of Pru Life UK. It is my pleasure to assist you. You may reach me at 09255101881 or jacquivalinton@yahoo.com.ph.
@Erwin Lambert - NO please don't get a Life Insurance plan over the internet, its too risky. If you want, I can help you, please feel free to email me at donna_061278@yahoo.com, so we can talk things over. God bless.
has anyone heard of AXA ION https://ion.axa.com.ph? Heard it's an online life insurance in the Philippines? I've been looking around for a reliable plan and if I can get one over the internet it would be great!
@Shasha - You should contact your agent to assist you with your statement of account. Actually, they send monthly receipt. I receive mine regularly. I also requested for my statement of account and within 2 weeks time I received it. NOTE: not an agent, just a plan holder.
I'm having difficulty withdrawing all my accounts right now. If you request for a monthly statement, they will not give any formal document. They actually don't issue a monthly statement of your account.
A named Nash Go/Sandie Asonto of Prulife UK is "somewhat of being" arrogant in answering question to its client. Let me share a part of the conversation,
Question:
"Saan po iniinvest ni Eastspring yung bonds and stocks? What if worst comes to worst, mawala si Eastspring, who would be its fallback para sa fund manager?"
Answer: "Hahaha. Ayan ang mga taong pessimistic! Sabihin mo ill show our fund fact sheet so she can verify what are the companies or details of the fund."
(sounds like mayabang na maybe I ask too much questions na)
"Pru is very professional in dealing with clients for the past 165yrs and if worst cases eastpring will be gone new fund manager will manage our funds. Eastspring investment is our partner or sister company should I say"
by the way, one of the managers daw yan.
Is this how they really approach such certain questions?
we're like almost there to get their policy na sana..
Ask ko lang po im a pru life insurance investment policy holder since September 2013.. after a year ba may makukuha na kong kinita ng ininvest ko?? Kung wala pa when kaya maakakaron?
@ igotinked: dunno if this thread is still active though and i'm extremely sorry for replying, just browsed through my net history and saw this thread and read through the comments and such. To answer your long waited question (8 months in the making hahahaha!) yeah I'm a "hamak-na-ahente" for Pru (note to my colleagues who are here please don't stone me to death!), I also do advance investment training for the agents of our branch, I work closely with start-up companies as a freelance financial adviser, do financial literacy seminars as my advocacy and work with BSP as a resource person for their Financial Literacy seminar so I'm a bit familiar with the investment language.
Hopefully you already got your personal policy for your future retirement and such, if you have questions bro/sis (? sorry I have no clue hahaha) about investments and such feel free to give me a heads up on my email (gianjoaquin.rn@gmail.com) or if you're near makati we can grab a cup somewhere and talk about this all day if you want to. Peace out!
I can help also if my co-agents from Pru Life UK are far from your area to service you.

Pru Life UK is definitely the way towards achieving your financial goals.
Investing your money in investment-linked insurance policies (insurance with attached investment) is just like opening a savings account in the bank, but it is way better for these reasons:
1. you have your insurance coverage, and you can also add optional riders or benefits like critical illness coverage, personal accident, and daily hospitalization income; if you save in the bank, your savings won't give you an insurance coverage;
2. your money can enjoy higher interests, and even higher depending on your choice of funds where you will invest your money (e.g. government bonds, stock market, or mixture of these).
3. you will have enough savings that you could use for your child's education, your retirement, or even just for a major purchase or vacation; remember, you can withdraw your money in your investment just like in the bank (but take note, your money gets higher interest here).
4. you will develop the habit of setting aside for your future and you will be more disciplined and determined in achieving your financial goals.
If you want to learn more about Pru Life UK, feel free to contact me. It will be my pleasure to be your financial consultant.

Hi Aspirant,

Can I have you email address please so that I can help you out with your plan in investing with Pru Life UK. My email address is rcaliwan.prulife@outlook.com. I'd be more than happy to discuss with you the options that would best suit your needs and preferences. I hope to hear from you.
good day. I'm just planning to invest at PRU-LIFE UK for a 5 year plan. may katanungan po aq regarding dito sa annual insurance charge na Php 12.67 per 1,000 of the sum assured. Is this only during my 5 year plan?. Thanks
Hi igotinked, thank you so much for posting this. I was relieved after reading this thread. I signed up 2 weeks ago and honestly it was 2 weeks full of doubts.
hey, watch youtubes suze orman on vul's to know more about insurance mixed with investment, states that financial advisors push this a lot, as they get tons of commission on it
Hi everyone especially to @igotinked, thank you for posting this thread. Reading all the information here made me realized - I did the right thing investing with Pru Life UK. It was introduced to me by a former colleague a month ago who's an agent, and yesterday I have decided to join and take the risk with Pru.
Hi igotinked, I have several policies from two big insurance companies in Philippines. A friend introduced me to Pru Life UK last month and i find their products better and affordable. So, I invested with Pru Life UK and decided to become their agent because I believe in the company. It is a good decision to invest with Pru Life UK but of course, all investments have risk, my advise is, always talk to your agent and monitor the status of your investments. If you have doubts, just call Pru Life UK office directly. :)
Hi guys,
Just for information Pru Life U.K. is a U.K. registered life insurance company is not in any way related to Philippine Prudential Life Insurance Company which sales offices are located in malls. It is also not in any way related to Prudential Life Insurance Company which ceased its operation or even with Prudential Financials. You can take a look at the logo of these companies and you will know that are different companies.
@igotinked, pardon us but it really should be Pru Life U.K.. it's noted that we should be typing it right if we don't want to confuse readers.
For inquries regarding the services we offer, pls feel free to call +63 9336572167.
Regards,
the woman from the Pru
sounds exciting!
Hello, Im planning to invest in PruLife U.K.. Hope this will really work. I don't have that much of big salary per month but I will take the risk if this will lead me to a bright and better future. :D
hi gian joaquin here, licensed consultant for prulife uk and a financial advocate as well, @igotinked your folks invested in what is known as a VUL or Variable Unit Linked Insurance, it's a combination of both an insurance plan with a chunk of the premium going towards an investment vehicle. Remember folks, whether you invest in a COL stock account, or a MF from another company, there comes certain risks involved and THE INVESTMENT RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS [the investment policy] PRODUCT ARE BORNE SOLELY BY THE POLICYOWNER. why did i capitalized this statement? because it's printed in bold letters at the front of the policy. I agree on your statement though that the fund managers have a lot to do with the performance of the fund, but on certain cases especially If the market is doing really bad, (a classic and recent example would be 2008 during the subprime crisis in the US, everyone around the world got hit, and got hit straight in the b*lls) then everything goes to its proverbial flames. But that's the nature of economics my friend, for every downturn, you can expect a recovery in the market as well, that's why these products are so good as long term investments because it takes advantage of the laws of averages, the longer you hold on to an investment the probability of a positive outcome is very high, and at the same time, unlike other investment vehicles a VUL actually has a guarantee! it has Life insurance packaged with the deal, so if sh!t happens, you and the rest of your family has a safety net in the form of protection. you can't get that with a mutual fund or a UITF from a bank? there are tons of prulife consultants here that can help you and your family, and if you have investment specific questions, don't hesitate to hit me back! (note: pardon my language on certain instances, i like to type as i speak kasi hehehe)
Prulife Uk is 2012's Number 1 Life Insurance company in the Philippines in terms of Single Premium according to the Insurance Commission.

Prulife UK, is one of the fastest growing life insurance in the Phils. With just about 16 years of operation it has overtaken several life insurance companies who used to the the leader in the industry before. It pioneered unit link variable life insurance in the Phil.
I am a policy owner and lately became a financial adviser of Prulife. Having understood fully the products and the funds, I make it a point to save with Prulife rather than in the banks if ever I have extra money. Yes, it is a better option for savings because it educates us how to practice disciplined savings with a lot of protection benefit. All the members of the family have policies with Prulife.
Last October 27, 2010 I invested 200,000 with Prulife and today the value is 246,650. Not bad 23.3 % in 30 months.
If you want to know more about Prulife, visit its website and the website of its fund manager, Eastspring Investment. You will see how much asset it is managing...

''waiting many years before to see the earning result'' ...
It's recommented I think for those people who has
enough money, above AVERAGE income...
I'm a Prulife uK holder already! And I find it good so far..because some of my friends have prulife insurance and the feedback so far is good..And Prulife is a reputable company..To igotinked: I thing you should attend some seminars for you to be able to know more about the company because Prulife is one of the biggest company, They're just using Prulife Uk here in the philippines because when they entered here there is already a Prudential company which is a mutual fund also, but there name in UK is Prudential, even when I went to Hongkong last month It's Prudential is just that here in the Philippines It's Prulife Uk.
I signed for PRU life this year and Yes it is eating up a lot on my salary. However, I am very pleased with how the company introduce the plan. I even got a phone call to check if I understood all the terms. Nonetheless, Its plain savings with a lot of benefits, just in case, anything happen, my family and I is secured.
Also, PRU just not take your money, you need to apply to be insured. This is one of the best decision I ever made in my Life. Thanks PRU for always LISTENING and UNDERSTANDING!!!
The best sharing that i could give to friends and relatives is the best experience i have had with Prulife Uk. My money reaches for me. Its there, its just there when i need it. The best place where to park our hard earned money is at PRU!!!
How is it now igotinked? It has been over a year now, surely you have seen results already, although i understand that investments with PruLife are supposed to be medium to long term, meaning , to see substantial earnings we have to wait atleast 5 to 10 yrs, even banks hold up money for 5yrs in exchange for higher interest. Atleast in prulife, you can withdraw your money without incurring taxes unlike in time deposits,plus ofcourse, prulife has the death benefit in the end. Asian market seems to be perking up,so just relax and hope for the best.
Depends on the policy ur holding, Erlinda. If it's variable (investment + protection), u can withdraw anytime. Just leave 20K min so as to retain policy activation. If it's whole life, ask ur agent...
I have been a member of Pru life UK since 2004' what I would like to know is for how long do I have to invest before I can withdraw my money?
to answer all your questions for your better understanding yo may call me at 09175610821 - Emerald Branch in Ortigas. We listen we explain for your understanding. Listening is always Understanding
Prulife UK is a good / reputable company. It offers combination of investment and insurance financial products. Their investment funds can be likened to mutual funds (with insurance built-in). The model is that Prulife UK will manage the fund for you. Depending on your risk profile (you get to choose this before investing), they invest your money to gov't / corporate bonds (low risk, low return), or to stocks / equities (high risk, high return). They submit an annual report of the performance of your investment vehicle of choice. I invested around 100K lasat December 2004. Value as of January 2012 is 200k. That's double my money in 8 years. Not bad right.
