Life’s uncertainties often arrive unannounced. For actor and BDO brand ambassador Alden Richards, a tragic moment in his youth served as a turning point in his financial journey.
How Alden Richards Found Financial Security Through Plan B
“It happened when I was in high school. Mama got sick. Just like that, she was gone,” Alden Richards sadly recalled. “My world suddenly stopped. Our savings were quickly depleted. I had to quit school to help my family earn a living.”
In 2008, Alden lost his mother to pneumonia. The emotional toll was overwhelming, but the financial strain made things even harder. Like many Filipino families, they relied solely on their savings, which quickly ran out. This difficult period taught Alden a crucial lesson: planning for the future is a necessity, not an option.
Facing Life’s Challenges
Many people underestimate the importance of financial preparedness. Alden’s experience showed him how vital it is to have a financial backup plan.
“I’m now worry-free because I know my loved ones will be okay even if something happens to me,” Alden emphasized. “With life insurance, your plans will continue no matter what happens.”
When Alden started earning from his acting career, he knew he had to secure his family’s future. On a visit to his local BDO branch, he discovered BDO Life and met a financial advisor who helped him craft a life insurance plan suited to his needs. This decision gave him the confidence that his family would always be financially protected.
The Convenience of BDO Life’s Financial Protection
Alden found comfort in BDO Life’s accessibility. “With BDO Life, it’s so convenient. They have financial advisors in BDO branches who are always there for you, finding ways to protect you and your family.”
Having easy access to expert advice helped Alden make informed financial decisions. Whether it’s securing education for loved ones or ensuring continued support during difficult times, life insurance plays a crucial role in providing stability.
Why Life Insurance is a Necessity, Not a Luxury
Life insurance should be a priority for every breadwinner. It guarantees that families can continue their lifestyle and pursue their dreams even in the face of unexpected challenges.
BDO Life President and CEO Renato A. Vergel De Dios highlights the importance of having a financial safety net.
“When you realize how the benefits of life insurance help make your family’s plans a reality, then you appreciate that owning one is not an option but a responsibility—one responsibility that is not routinely extinguished because of death,” he explained. “We are the ‘Plan B’ called upon to respond when your Plan A fails. Our mission is to deliver a service that provides you peace of mind knowing that life will be made easier and more comfortable for those you very much care for.”
