The Top 10 Life Insurance Companies in the Philippines The Most Updated and Most Unbiased Review

Although 2013 is over and we are almost halfway through 2014.  The Insurance commission hasn’t yet released the 2013 ranking of the top insurance companies in the Philippines.  They said, they will release it on August 2014.  So, with that, we have to content ourselves with the 2012 rankings. In the case of the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), I will be giving the November 2013 ranking.

Since this is an unbiased review, I will not only highlight one category just to make one insurance company look good.  I will be enumerating all the rankings in all categories from the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) and Insurance Commission (IC).  That’s why this is an UNBIASED review.

Top 10 Life Insurance Companies in the Philippines 2015

Top 10 Life Insurance Companies in the Philippines Most Updated and Most Unbiased Review 2014

First Category: Top 10 Companies in the Philippines, According to Market Capitalization by the Philippines Stock Exchange (PSE)

Investopedia defined Market Capitalization as – the total dollar (Peso) market value of all of a company’s outstanding shares. Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying a company’s shares outstanding by the current market price of one share. The investment community uses this figure to determine a company’s size, as opposed to sales or total asset figures.

Please note from the 10 companies in the Philippines stated below only 2 companies are from the life insurance industry.  Manulife Financial Corporation as the top 1 with over 1.4 Trillion Pesos Market capital and Sun Life Financial Inc. in the top 2 with 844 B Pesos.

Second Category:  Top Insurance Companies, According to Net worth by the Insurance Commission (IC)

Investopedia defined Networth as – The amount by which assets exceed liabilities. The company’s net worth is calculated by subtracting the liabilities from the assets.

The leading insurance company in this category is: Insular Life with 27B Net worth

Third Category:  Top Insurance Companies According to Paid-Up Capital by the Insurance Commission (IC)

Investopedia defined Paid-Up Capital as –  The amount of a company’s capital that has been funded by shareholders. Paid-up capital can be less than a company’s total capital because a company may not issue all of the shares that it has been authorized to sell. Paid-up capital can also reflect how a company depends on equity financing.

The leading insurance company in this category is: Generali Philippines with 1.5 B Paid-up capital

Fourth Category: Top Insurance Companies, According to Premium Income by the Insurance Commission (IC)

The leading insurance company in this category is: Sun Life of Canada with 20B Premium Income

Although I represent a great insurance company, I dare say, all life insurance companies are very much the same.  They are all stable, have a solid foundation and all are reliable. For me, the more important thing that you have to consider in selecting the right plan for you is choosing the right and reliable insurance agent/financial advisor that you can depend on.  The right insurance agent for you will understand you and will guide you on the best possible plan that will suit your needs, wants and budget.  Read “5 Insider tips on finding the right Insurance Agent/Financial Advisor for you.”

The most frequently ask question before buying a life insurance – Pre Need VS LIFE insurance, What is the difference?

In buying a life insurance, don’t let procrastination get in your way.  If you don’t know anyone that can guide you in choosing the best policy for you, let me help you with that.  You may contact me here.

    • Lourdes Ravelo

      Hi Dr. Pinky, thanks so much for this blog. I agree that this is a more objective way of presenting the Insurance companies ranking for 2014. What matters most depends on how an individual would view a stable company, thus the need to show the ranking per category. Let us not be fooled that there is only one way to gauge an insurance company.

    ma’am pinky,
    which is the better insurance company, Sun Life, AXA or Manulife?

    • hi, i believe all life insurance companies are closely the same and all are reliable. You just need to find that life insurance agent who you can rely on.

    • Doodz

      Choosing life insurance company nowadays that will serve your future financial needs is a little bit tricky but for sure if you want total reliance, you can visit major banks and ask for the alliance insurance companies such as (in any order):

      BDO – Generali Philippines
      Chinabank – Manulife Chinabank Life (MCBL)
      Metrobank – AXA Phils.
      BPI – BPI PhilAm
      RCBC – SunLife Grepa
      PNB – Ben Life (Owned by the bank itself)
      Etc…

    Hi dr.pinky,
    My sister was diagnosed having hypertension and diabetis. She is 51 with 2 children aged 18 and 20 .
    What type of insurance or what insurance company that will cater her or best for her? Thank you

    • Hi ms Nora, I have a client with hypertension and diabetes. And she is 60+years old. Any insurance company will just do their underwriting and evaluate her present conditions. They will base their decisions to present state of your sister. Don’t worry, she might still get approved.

    Hi Doc Pinky!

    I’m a 28 year-old also physician who is still having my residency. I got a life insurance just recently, ambushed in a mall (you might have an idea already what insurance company I’m talking about) having to pay my premium using my credit card. I got it without studying about it and so i felt that I might be making a very wrong decision. Though it was explained to me that it is a legitimate insurance company, I just felt I was forced to make a decision right on the spot. And I don’t even know if it I would really benefit from it in the future. Am I on the right track? Should I continue it? Thanks. Your replyis very much appreciated.

    • Hi dra, parang I have an idea what insurance company that is. Anyway, can you provide me some details what kind of insurance that is? You can email me: docpinky@myfinancemd.com or you can write at the contact page of my site. Will wait for your email. 🙂

      • Elytra

        Than you for a quick reply doc. I have sen you an email already. 🙂

  19. Menchie

    Your article is very informative. Do you have latest ranking of top insurance companies? Thank you.

    Huhuhuhu Just took the AXA Axelerator last week due to its low “contribution” of 2,500 per month. But became sad upon reading this blog coz I dodn’t see AXA here huhuhu

    Thanks for sharing this information. Though it’s not updated anymore, I think the companies listed above are still almost in their same position.

    The most wonderful idea u impart to us is that “all life insurance companies are very much the same. They are all stable, have a solid foundation and all are reliable. For me, the more important thing that you have to consider in selecting the right plan for you is choosing the right and reliable insurance agent/financial advisor that you can depend on. The right insurance agent for you will understand you and will guide you on the best possible plan that will suit your needs, wants and budget”

    Hi! ano po pagkakaiba ng BPI-Philam life at Philam life and GEN? hindi ba iisa lang yan?

  26. gerard abano

    hi doc im a teacher and I want to get or invest In life insurance ,im single and planning to be married in a few years what should I consider before I get life insurance…thanks doc.

  27. Percy

    Hi doc,isa po akong ofw. Ask q po sna ang opinion nyo about sa PNB LIFE INSURANCE at ung product na in oofer nla na “VELOCITY”? I’m hoping for your reply soon Doc so i know if i will take it or not b4 my flight…, i am having a second thought right now so pls. Help me po tnx a lot mam

    • I’m sorry Ms Percy, I don’t know that product because I am not affiliated with PNB life insurance. I only know the products that the Life insurance company offers. I might make a mistake if I just research on your question. Kindly email me if you have further questions.

      • Shinel

        Doc Pinky, how about po yung sa AXA AXELERATOR? Napakuha po kc ng di oras ang asawa ko dahil kumpare niya yung agent. 2,500 po per month yun. May blog po ba kayo tungkol dito or alam na site na pwedeng mabasa para sa amung mga beginners? Nahihiya po kc asawa kong magtatanong na about dito sa kumpare niya. Kala daw po kc niya Mutual Fund napasok niya. Thank you po.

        • Hi Shinel, I do not have an information on a particular product because i am not affiliated with axa. But, the thing is, you need to be able to ask anything to your financial advisor. This is your future we are talking about. Do not be shy to ask since you will be paying for this 2,500 per month. Do not be afraid or shy to ask. ok?

  28. Benjamin

    Hi Doc. Pinky,
    I have a 13 yr. son. He is very energetic, and involves himself a lot in extra curricular activities. But I get worried when he got sick recently. Maybe of too much strain and stress. I was thinking to provide him a medical insurance, as in temporarily on a yearly basis. What insurance company should you recommend for my boy to ensure smooth medical checkup.
    benjamin

    • That would be an HMO not a life insurance company. These companies example: maxicare, bluecross, intelicare, etc…

  29. Iris

    I love this blog! Glad I bumped into this. You seem nice and very objective. Makes me wonder if you are an agent yourself, which company/companies are you affiliated in. (if that’s possible to serve more than one insurance company)

    I have been looking at getting an insurance for myself but couldn’t decide which company to trust until I experienced the ambush and felt robbed by the insurance provider in the mall. I didn’t continue at all but was hoping and wondering if I could ever sue them. *sigh*

    Right now, I am still looking forward to find the right one. I even thought of joining of becoming an agent as well.

  30. Angel

    Hi po Ms Pinky. Kaka join ko lang po ngyon sa isang life insurance company (forced) nasa mall po kase ako then bigla nalang ako na corner so i dont have a choice.. Can you help me po. I just have question lang. I hope u can help me.. Thank you

  31. DIna

    May naka pag sabi terminated na daw po yung contract nila sa BDO.ANo po ba dapat kong gawin?

  32. Glezie Pita

    Hi! I would like to know if COCOLIFE is also a good insurance company?

  33. Alain

    Isa po akong OFW, Nag invest po ako ng $5,000.00 sa BPIphilam Dollarmax ,ano po ba ang masasabi nyo sa naging desisyon ko, ok lang po ba ang mag invest sa ganito?salamat po…

    • Hi Alain,

      As long as alam mo ang goal mo bakit k nag invest and timeline of your investment, that would be fine. But maganda rin na mamonitor mo ang investment mo once in a while para nakikita mo sa sarili if tama ba naging desisyon mo. 🙂

  34. Michelle

    hi po.. interesado po kong kumuha ng life insurance para s akin 28 years old at sa aking asawa 29 years old , much better po b n magkaiba ang insurance compny namen ? pinag iisipan ko din po kase ung term o me investment /savings ang kukunin ko . Ano po kaya? Salmat po

  35. Kenneth

    Hi po. Tanong ko lang po ung sa philippine prudential. Hnd po ba un scam?

  36. Mariel

    Hi po..ask ko lng po ma’am..nag-housing loan po aq sa BDO and yearly po ay me binabayaran ako na insurance worth 10k pesos.Fifteen years to pay yung housing loan ko,which means 15 years din aq need n mgbyad ng 10k for insurance.I’m planning to get an insurance from BDO din..yung Pilipinas-Generali..then don ko po ipasok yong insurance n binabayaran ko..para hindi po masayang yung 10k na binabayad ko yearly.Tama po ba yong naiisip kong gawin?

    • Well, there is such thing as TERM insurance, very cheap for MRI (mortgage redemption insurance), and you only have to renew the balance of your loan every year. Meaning, you started at 2M, after few years, 1.5M na lang loan mo, you only renew for 1.5M, then same thing as years progressed.

      For permanent insurance, you can use that too naman, but I suggest you get permanent insurance and make your family your beneficiaries, in that way, if something happens to you, your loan is paid thru your Term insurance, and your family still gets something from your permanent insurance.

  37. nhel

    Hi Ms. Pinky,

    I would like to know kung alin ang pinaka magandang insurance na kasama ang health, invest/savings, accident, etc,.? thank you so much.

  38. dina

    Hi Ms. Pinky,

    Good day po!
    Ask ko lang po kasi po nung lasy vacay ko ng Feb.po, may inalok po stock sa akin ang BDO.
    Yung agent ko din sa Insurance ko sa Generali po ang nag alok, since matatapos na po ako next sa life insurance namin ng anak ko.Nag decide po ako a kumuha, kahit hindi ko masyadong naintindihan yung paliwanag nya po. Okey po ba yung naging desisyon ko po. Bale 30k po annual payment po nun at 5 years to pay po.

    Thanks 🙂
    Dina

    • Naku, it depends on the plan you got. Iba iba kasi, kahit sa isang company, iba iba ang Klase ng plan. Better po if pa explain po kayo ulit sa agent nyo. Thanks.

  39. lou

    Magtatanong lang po kung alin ang The best Insurance Company to do business with.. Please email me .Thanks so much.

    • Check your policy contract if there really is such terms there. If you can’t contact the agent, then you can contact there customer service.

    Hi Pinky,

    I’m searching for a great Health & Life Insurance company. Kindly email me your suggestions. Thank you. Michael

    • sent you an email

      • April

        HI MS.PINKY, i am currently an insurance holder in manulife now, for 2 years, i just want to ask if that company is a reliable company, because im reading some reviews and the reviews are not so good when it comes to claiming money, the money im paying is a little high so i want to assure if im in good track because if not can i still withdraw my contract with them even its just two years

        • Yes, Manulife is a good company. Claims only become an issue if there are undeclared issues when policy holders are still applying for the plan.
