EastWest Ageas gives tips on life insurance for young professionals
For young professionals starting to get serious about their future, the questions start piling up. Budgeting? Sure. Saving? Trying. Investing? Sounds intimidating, but it’s on the list. Life insurance? That still feels like a “someday” thing.
For young professionals starting to get serious about their future, the questions start piling up. Budgeting? Sure. Saving? Trying. Investing? Sounds intimidating, but it’s on the list. Life insurance? That still feels like a “someday” thing.
Until you read this: “Only 3 questions to get started with Sure Start by EastWest Ageas.”
Wait — What? Just Three?
No long questionnaires. No intimidating jargon. Only a simple form with three health and lifestyle questions. Answer that, and you’re on your way to securing your very first life insurance plan.
Insurance That Makes Things Simple
Sure Start by EastWest Ageas is built for first-timers: the fresh grads, the young professionals, the people who want to start protecting what they’re earning without dealing with complex policies.
Here’s what you get:
● Guaranteed Death Benefit: 100% of the basic sum insured goes to your loved ones
● Funeral Assistance: An extra 10% to help cover final expenses
● Overseas Benefit: An additional 20% if something happens while you’re abroad
You can also boost your plan with optional riders such as Accidental Death, Accidental Disablement, Critical Illness, and Hospital Cash, valuable add-ons that offer extra peace of mind.
It Grows With You, Too
Here’s the cool part: Sure Start doesn’t just sit in your inbox after you buy it. As life happens — you get married or start a family — your coverage automatically increases by 10–20%, without reapplying or submitting extra paperwork.
You can also choose between 1-year or 5-year coverage (renewable up to age 80), and when you’re ready to upgrade, you can convert your Sure Start plan into other EastWest Ageas. Again, no medical exams or do-overs needed.
Need It Budget-Friendly? Say Less.
For something that does a lot, a Sure Start plan doesn’t take a lot. Annual premiums start at just Php 8,000* — that’s about Php 21 a day. Saving a little every day can truly go a long way. With just Php 21 daily, this is a smart way to build long-term financial security and protect your future.
A Small Move, A Big Adulting Win
Getting life insurance can be simple, straightforward, and made just for you. With Sure Start, it’s a smart, easy move you can make early in your journey, sans the stress of overthinking. If you’re new to the working world and ready to start strong, Sure Start is here to meet you where you are and help you grow from there.

Today’s Christmas celebrations in Filipino households range from grand gatherings among extended families, along with OFW households, dual-income no kids (DINKs) couples, single parents, and same-gender partners who are marking the season in their own meaningful way. Through it all, the desire to gather, to share, and to connect remains at the heart of each celebration.
Feast for Filipino families

As part of its mission to spread Christmas cheer, Purefoods turned the homecoming of OFWs into a full-blown holiday celebration this December, taking center stage at the newly refreshed Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 just as its new facilities officially opened. Seizing this landmark moment, the “Sarap ng Pasko, Sarap ng Purefoods” installation at the Arrival area and a dazzling LED display at the new Mezzanine Food Hall transformed the terminal into a festive gateway home, filling arrivals with warmth, joy, and inspiration to create new Christmas memories with their loved ones through food.
Food that is lovingly prepared and joyfully shared is at the core of every Christmas celebration. No matter how Filipino families celebrate, Purefoods helps bring the joy of the season to every table.
