For FWD Financial Wealth Planner Angie Dionisio, insurance is more than just protection. It’s also your reward to yourself, a secure future for your hard work.


“Ang insurance, parang hawak mong payong. Hindi mo siya gagamitin araw-araw, pero pag umulan o matindi ang sikat ng araw, nandyan siya para gamitin mo (Insurance is your umbrella. You don’t use it every day. But once it rains or the sun beats down, you’re glad you have it).”

For Angie and her clients, insurance is a safety net for life’s unexpected moments. While the future is uncertain, insurance is one way to protect yourself and your family for the long term. For that reason, you want an insurance company that’s stable, credible and visible, not just locally but overseas.

A reputation for stability across Southeast Asia

This is particularly true for Angie’s clients, many of whom are frequent travelers or OFWs. Through a group chat Angie created, they proudly share photos of FWD signs, offices and advertisements spotted while traveling throughout Southeast Asia and Japan.

“Sabi nila, ‘Angie, di lang pala sa atin malakas yung kompanya nyo,’ Nakakatuwa kasi hindi lang siya pang-Pilipinas…. Napuntahan namin yung office sa Hong Kong, at nakita rin namin sa Thailand at Vietnam. (They say, ‘Angie, your company’s big outside the Philippines too.’ I’m happy when they see that [FWD] isn’t just in the Philippines. We visited the Hong Kong office and saw ads in Thailand and Vietnam).”


This international reach is one of Angie’s favorite points when introducing FWD. “Lagi kong sinasabi na ang stability ng company, napaka-importante. Hindi ka magsisisi. (“I always remind [clients] that a company’s stability is very important, and they won’t regret choosing FWD.)” Angie’s clients trust their future to a company they count on to pay claims quickly, as well as be there to support them years from now.


Besides bringing reassurance for their investment, the FWD sign is a familiar welcome to Filipinos in ten neighboring countries – a warm orange reminder that languages may differ but the drive to care for our loved ones is the same.

Protecting your family wherever you are

Local presence with international reach is especially important to Filipinos, whose daily lives are global too. Angie recalls one of her clients, an OFW in Dubai with family living in the Philippines. When Angie brought up insurance, her client replied, “Wala pa kami niyan eh, ano ba yun? (We don’t have that yet. What is it?)”

Seeing her clients’ curiosity as an opportunity, Angie patiently explained how insurance could protect their loved ones in the Philippines. She initially offered a five-year plan, but after learning about the retirement benefits, her client chose the more comprehensive Set for Life seven-year plan.

“So, at the same time, meron na rin silang retirement plan after Dubai (So at the same time, [with Set for Life] they have a retirement plan after Dubai),” Angie shares.

As the wife of an OFW herself, Angie understands the risks of working abroad – and the need for a long-term financial plan to safeguard health and resources in the Philippines, whatever happens elsewhere. Her work is deeply personal, and she channels that passion into helping her clients secure their futures.

More than a policy, a promise

For Angie, her mission is to empower her clients to secure their dreams, wherever they are. She does this through personal meet ups and updates in their group chats.

“Everyone has their own story, kaniya-kaniyang gustong i-fulfill sa buhay (their own goals to fulfill in life),” Angie remarks. She emphasizes the importance of choosing an insurance company that’s established and reliable but offers protection that can adjust to individual needs and budget.

With FWD’s strong presence across Southeast Asia and its digital-first approach, Angie is confident that FWD will continue its fast growth as one of the Philippines’ leading insurers. “Exceptional,” she beams, describing FWD with pride.

Working hard for your family is always challenging. But with FWD, it’s always worth it. Trusting FWD with your long-term finances is a way to make sure that today’s earnings can secure tomorrow – for a future that truly goes the distance.
