There
is no question that every mother dreams to see her children grow up
to be self-sufficient and financially stable. But how do we guarantee
their security, when quality education grows more expensive every
year, and more and more parents are forced to drop their children
from school due to a lack of necessary funds?
In
1997, this precise challenge hit Ms. Monserrat V. Delos Reyes. After
leaving her job in the medical field as a nurse, she was unsure if
she could afford to pay the tuition fees of her children. “It was a
difficult time,” Delos Reyes narrated. “I was constantly worried
about our expenses, most of all how I could possibly pay for the
schooling of my kids.”
Fortunately,
Delos Reyes found a highly rewarding career as a financial advisor
for Philam Life. With full belief in both the products she was
selling and company providing them, she bought an education plan with
a very specific purpose in mind.
“My daughter Regine always dreamt
of studying in De La Salle University and becoming a lawyer,” Delos
Reyes explained. “I wanted to secure my daughter’s future,
regardless of whatever unexpected turns life would throw at me,”
she enthused.

In
2007, Monserrat’s investment was fully returned, and Regine was
able to take up a degree in Economics at De La Salle University. She
continued to receive checks twice a year from Philam Life, which were
able to pay for three trimesters’ worth of Regine’s tuition every
year. Since Regine’s course took only three years to complete,
Delos Reyes was able to use the fourth year of her educational plan
payout to cover other family expenses.
“It
felt like a huge weight was lifted off of my shoulders. I had the
peace of mind that Regine’s education was taken care of and assured
by Philam Life. I couldn’t be happier with my choice of
investment,” the proud mother beamed.
Regine
was then able to go to law school, again at De La Salle University.
She recently graduated as the top 4 student in her class, and will be
taking the Bar exam in November. She aspires to specialize in family
law and join one of the largest law firms in the country.
“I’m
so thankful to my mother for giving me the opportunity to pursue my
dreams,” a clearly emotional Regine affirmed. “Our family is a
clear example of how Philam Life touches and improves real lives.
They changed the course of our lives permanently, for the better,”
she concluded.
