Invest and manifest: why you must act on your dreams now

Tweet

The future still holds so much potential despite the pandemic, especially when you know how to manifest your dreams in life and follow through with long-term investments. All you need is the guidance of experts to show you how you can make this work so you can turn your manifestations into reality.

There are now VULs (Variable Universal Life plans) that not only give you the opportunity to get reliable investments but provide you with life protection as well. However, not all VULs are designed in the same way.

Take, for example, FWD Life Insurance’s latest product, FWD Manifest. It is the first insurance product that protects and rewards you for investing more for a longer period to boost your wealth-building. It has the benefits a good VUL can offer such as life protection, investment opportunities in diverse global and local funds, accidental death benefit, customized protection booster and premium waiver.

For quick reference, here are four unique features that FWD Manifest has to offer:

• · Start-up Bonus – gets up to 30% of the basic annual premium on the first policy year to be added on the 5th and 10th year of the plan

• · Premium Extension Bonus – gets 2% bonus if you decide to extend your premium payment after the required period

• · Investment Protector Bonus – protects your stock market investments in case the Philippine Stock Exchange Composite Index price goes lower than its original price five years ago.

• · Guaranteed Milestone Increase – gives you a one-time pre-approved 20% benefit amount increase up to PhP2M. All they have to do to get this bonus is to choose which milestone in life they would want to celebrate, e.g. a wedding in five years, a house in ten, or perhaps retirement in 30 years

“We all have dreams in life that can come true only if we support them with action, and that’s the purpose of FWD Manifest. We hope to empower people to invest in what matters to them the most so they can celebrate living and stay strong especially during uncertain times,” said FWD Life Insurance President and CEO Li Hao Zhuang.

With life protection and financial health now packaged into one product (and with bonuses at that), you can confidently claim success right now from your manifested dreams. FWD Manifest makes it doable.

You can turn your designer bags and luxury watches into emergency funds during the pandemic

Tweet

The COVID-19 pandemic is a source of financial stress for a lot of us – and we all have to deal with the rising cost of everyday needs, on top of other worries like job loss, business closures and medical bills chipping away at our savings and shrinking budgets.

But did you know that you can turn your designer bags and watches into instant funds when the need arises – and you don’t even have to leave your home to do it?

PawnHero, the country’s first digital pawnshop or sanglaan, can help you with that.

PANDEMIC HERO

PawnHero has been in the business of giving out short-term, collateral-based loans to financially distressed Filipinos since 2015.

With its comparatively low-interest rates, PawnHero has become a lifeline to so many of our kababayans in need of a quick money fix. It offers flexible loan terms and higher appraisal value for items compared to traditional pawnshops, plus, they accept more than the usual pawnable jewelry items to include luxury watches, designer bags and accessories, gadgets, appliances, soundbars, and even gaming consoles.

The pawning process is as easy as it is discreet and convenient. You can get your items appraised online by providing detailed descriptions on their website, www.pawnhero.ph. You can also send photos of your items via PawnHero’s Facebook, Instagram or Viber through the #MagkanoSaPawnHero campaign. A schedule is then set for a courier – a.k.a. a pawntrooper - to pick up your item at no added cost, since pick up and return services are free of charge. Once appraised and the final loan offer accepted, you can now opt to cash out via bank transfer, InstaPay, or through PESOnet partner banks or electronic money issuers.

Walk-ins are also entertained at their office on the 7th Floor of the W Global Center in BGC Taguig from Mondays to Saturdays.

“People can actually pawn multiple items in one transaction day,” says PawnHero Chief Operating Officer Iris Tagud-Pastor. “This makes it infinitely more convenient and rewarding for our customers, especially during this time of limited movement.”

Is it legit? Absolutely. PawnHero is regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, and all pawned items are covered by Pioneer Insurance to give you that added peace of mind.

For your instant cash needs, visit www.pawnhero.ph call 8828-CASH (2274), 0999 222 CASH, 0917 872 CASH, or drop a message on Facebook: PawnHero Pawnshop.
