Getting Insurance and Adulting properly at a lower cost with Country Bankers Insurance Group

I recently attended this year's Country Bankers Insurance Group Blog Con for 2020. CBIG is one of the country’s leading affordable insurance companies, offering a variety of insurance products that gives protection to properties and assets.

CBIG has two subsidiaries: Country Bankers Life Insurance Corporation (CBLIC), a life insurance provider, and Country Bankers Insurance Corporation (CBIC), for non-life insurance products. Both have stayed on track in giving Filipinos straightforward and non-intimidating insurance options.




2020 is a big year for CIBC as they are celebrating their 60th year this October. If you are thinking about adulting properly but you don't have a bigger budget for any insurance coverage, you should definitely consider CIBC. They offer affordable non-life insurance such as motor vehicle, personal accident, bonds and fire insurance, among others.

Here are some of the things I learned a year or two before with CIBG

“It is time that Filipinos change their old view of insurance as something unnecessary or not a priority. Whether big or small, properties should be covered by insurance because accidents or calamities occur anytime, anywhere and to anyone. It is best to be ready at all times,” says Geraldine Desiderio-Garcia, senior vice president and general manager of Country Bankers Insurance Corporation (CBIC).

As a mom who doesn't have any steady income but loves to travel with her kids, CIBC is a great alternative to the high range insurances. I loved the monopolyish game that we played that day where we got to invest in some assets and weather out the recessions and situations that happened throughout the games. We of course could not have done this without the help of investing in our motor vehicle insurance, personal accident and fire insurance. And of course we also paid our taxes in this game! It definitely showed us how much of a big ginhawa one can get if you have applied for insurance and are in a grave need.

With March being Fire Prevention Month, it is the perfect time to discuss and raise awareness about the causes, hazards, and dangers of fire, and the most auspicious occasion to make decisions about insuring your properties. 

CBIC’s fire insurance coverage may be extended, upon payment of additional premium to allied perils such as earthquake, typhoon, and flood. Optional supplementary covers for fire insurance include burglary, cleaning of debris, fire-fighting expenses, rental expense or income and household employee belongings. “Filipinos have learned from their experiences and are now more informed and aware of the importance of getting insurance. There are many insurance products which cover your needs in times of calamities, Garcia concluded.

Insurances in the Philippines have evolved over the years, says Garcia, improving the quality and scope of insurance and providing affordable options that fit various lifestyles. Staying true to its promise to be relevant yet affordable, Country Bankers’ scope of benefits and coverage carries benefits that can compete with other insurers.
