As parents, we all want the best for our families: a roof over their heads, a bright future, and the security of knowing they’re taken care of in times of need. But for many Filipino parents, the idea of spending on something like health insurance can feel out of reach. With all the bills to pay, kids to feed, and daily expenses to manage, health insurance often seems like a luxury reserved for those with deeper pockets.
But what if we told you that you don’t have to be wealthy to protect your family from unexpected health costs? What if securing your loved ones’ health was as simple as paying for a meal, and you could do it with just a few taps on your phone?
This is the reality for many Filipino families today, thanks to GInsure, a health insurance option that fits into the everyday budget of parents who want to make sure their family is taken care of—even in the face of unexpected health crises.
The Hidden Costs of Health Emergencies
We’ve all heard the stories: A sudden fever, a child injured while playing, or worse—an unexpected illness that lands a family member in the hospital. In the blink of an eye, medical bills can skyrocket, leaving parents scrambling to make ends meet. These situations can throw anyone off course—especially those already juggling the financial pressures of everyday life.
As parents, it’s easy to convince ourselves that health emergencies won’t happen to us, or that we can handle the costs when they do. But the reality is that health emergencies can happen to anyone, at any time. And when they do, having the right protection can make all the difference.
Take it from Ron Miranda Chua, a parent who values the importance of health insurance: “Having health insurance for each member of our family is our top priority. It’s very essential, especially when you have little ones who are very vulnerable to diseases. I want them to be exposed as much as possible, but at the same time, I also want them to be protected in case something happens.”
Ammara Xhyn, a mom who always keeps her family prepared, shares: “As a mom, I’ve learned that being prepared for anything is crucial, especially with little ones. I always keep a first-aid kit stocked with the essentials—bandages, pain relievers, antiseptic wipes, and a thermometer. But beyond that, I also make sure we’re financially ready for unexpected health expenses. That’s why I was so relieved to find GInsure through GCash. It’s affordable, easy to access, and gives me the peace of mind I need, knowing that I’m covered in case something unexpected happens.”
Health Insurance Doesn’t Have to Be Expensive
The good news? Health insurance doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. With plans starting as low as ₱79 a month, Filipino parents can secure protection against unexpected medical costs, whether it’s a trip to the ER, an accident, or even critical illnesses. It’s an affordable way to ensure your family’s health, without breaking the bank.
One such option is GInsure, a platform available in the GCash app that lets you access a
wide range of health insurance plans that are simple, easy to understand, and incredibly affordable. GInsure partners with trusted insurance providers like Singlife Philippines and FWD, offering plans that cater to different needs and budgets. For example, you can get coverage for illnesses like dengue, COVID-19, or even accidents for as little as ₱79 per month. It’s the cost of a snack or a cup of coffee—but it could save you thousands in medical bills down the road.
Real Families, Real Stories
The beauty of GInsure lies in its simplicity. Filipino parents, like Joanner Ignacio Barrientos, have shared how much peace of mind it’s given them:
“We always keep a first-aid kit at home. Tapos I make sure to take many medicines for headache/pain, allergy, flu, diarrhea. Aside from those, we have a health insurance plan for medical expenses.”
Shiela Obregon also emphasizes the importance of being prepared for both emergencies and health issues:
“I’ve always made sure our family is ready for emergencies—whether it’s setting up meeting points during earthquakes or keeping important documents safe. But health insurance is another level of protection that I now prioritize. It’s such a relief knowing that with just a few taps on my phone, we can be covered for health emergencies too. With GInsure, I feel like I’m really preparing for anything. #MagingHandaWithGInsure”
