Pacific Cross Philippines is excited to share significant enhancements to their Travel Insurance business — not only are they offering improved plans and benefits with their new roster of products, but they are also introducing MyTravelsafe, their revamped digital platform, to ensure that comprehensive protection is within easy reach of travelers. 

Whether you are traveling abroad to beat the heat, or looking for a quick beach get-away, Pacific Cross offers a variety of packages designed for worry-free travel.  Whether you’re solo backpacking across Europe, enjoying a family trip at an Asian destination, or having a blast with friends on a weekend excursion, you can trust a Pacific Cross plan to protect you on every journey. Pacific Cross Travelsafe Plans offer a variety of benefits and options — local and international protection, Peso, Dollar and Euro Plans, benefits for single and multi-trips, as well as individual and family coverage, among others. 

The new Pacific Cross MyTravelsafe portal allows travelers to access Pacific Cross offerings online, anytime, anywhere. With the process made more accessible and convenient, clients can be assured they have high-value travel protection at affordable rates right at their fingertips.

This increased accessibility also makes it possible for travelers to access the other key features of their travel insurance like medical treatment benefits, coverage for usual travel inconveniences such as flight and baggage delays, travel insurance for Seniors aged 76 and above, more extensive coverage for loss of gadgets, loss or damage of sporting equipment, mobile phone charges, and trip cancellation, among others.   

Pacific Cross announces these improvements as they are awarded the 2024 Gold Award for the Travel Insurance Category in the Reader’s Digest Trusted Brands.

“We are pleased and honored to be in this league of trusted brands. This award is a testament to our commitment to provide value-for-money travel protection to our clients. Our customers can be assured that we will keep working hard to be worthy of their trust, and that we will use this recognition as motivation to bring continuously improving travel products and services to the market,” says Pacific Cross President & CEO Victor Tanjuakio.

Life is full of uncertainties, and cancer is one of the toughest challenges families can face. Here, we share the story of one of our policyowners who found a lifeline in the form of insurance.

For Cerila Espidillon, her insurance plan not only provided financial assistance but also served as a source of strength for her and her family, enabling them to confront the ordeal without worrying about the added burden of debt.

Espidillon shares her story of resilience and PRU Love:

“I have been insured by Pru Life UK since 2013. I come from a poor family and saw people borrowing money when they got sick, and people who relied on their children to take care of them. I told my husband that I don’t want our kids to worry about us when we grow older. I knew I made the right decision when I was diagnosed with breast cancer on Valentine’s Day in 2022. Strangely, I didn’t worry and continued with my work here in Dubai. My biggest concern was my kids seeing me sick.

“My friend and agent, Peach, helped me process my claim. It was so fast. I didn’t need to follow up because not long after I gave all my documents, the claim was already in my account. The claim not only helped me pay my hospital bills without going into debt, but also made me feel at ease knowing I am financially covered. I felt the care that Pru Life UK has for its clients. Now I can focus on my recovery and my kids. Insurance policies offer peace of mind and financial protection, especially from unforeseen incidents. If we want a better life, we need to get insurance.”

Espidillon’s story is just one example of how crucial life insurance can be for families, offering peace of mind during difficult times. To keep families protected, Pru Life UK launched PRUHealth FamLove, a yearly-renewable protection plan that shares the critical illness coverage to up to four family members in one policy.
