“Wala akong employer, so wala rin akong benefits.”
Familiar? Kung isa kang freelancer or self-employed na Pinoy, malamang nasabi mo na ‘yan—kahit minsan.
You work hard. You chase clients. You manage your time, finances, and output all on your own. Pero habang busy ka sa paghahanap ng next gig or bagong project, napapaisip ka rin siguro:
“Paano kapag nagkasakit ako?”
“Saan ako kukuha ng pambayad sa ospital?”
“Paano ang pamilya ko kung bigla akong mawala?”
Here’s the truth: Even if you’re your own boss, you still need protection. In fact, you need it more than most.
1. Why Insurance Is Essential for Freelancers
Walang SSS-subsidized life insurance. Walang company benefits. So if you don’t take the initiative, walang sasalo sa’yo.
Life insurance can protect your family from financial burden if something unexpected happens. Some plans even come with investment components or income replacement in case of disability or critical illness.
✅ Term Insurance – Affordable protection na pasok sa budget
✅ VUL Plans – May protection + savings/investment component
✅ Income Protector – Para may tuloy-tuloy na cash flow kahit may sakit
You insure your gadgets—why not your life?
2. HMO for Health Emergencies (Even Without a Company)
Kung may emergency at kailangan mong ma-admit sa ospital, maganda kung may HMO card kang magagamit.
Yes, kahit freelancer ka, pwedeng-pwede kang kumuha ng sarili mong HMO.
May mga prepaid cards and individual plans ngayon from providers like MediCard, Maxicare, and Philcare. Some start as low as ₱1,500–₱5,000 per year.
Benefits include:
- Free consultations sa accredited clinics and hospitals
- Annual physical exams
- Coverage for hospitalization and emergency care
- Access to partner hospitals nationwide
Hindi mo kailangang maghintay pa ng employer para makakuha ng health card.
You are your own HR—so protect yourself like one.
3. Freedom Should Come with Security
Being your own boss is empowering, yes. Pero hindi lang dapat “freedom” ang focus—dapat may “security” rin.
Imagine getting sick and losing weeks of income. Or facing a critical illness and having no safety net. One health crisis can wipe out months—or years—of savings.
That’s why smart freelancers are now including insurance and healthcare in their financial plan.
Hindi lang pang-emergency—pang-long-term na peace of mind.
4. Plan According to Your Income Flow
Hindi naman kailangan sabay-sabay. The good news is:
There are flexible plans tailored for freelancers with irregular income.
📌 Monthly, quarterly, semi annual or annual payment options depending on the provider
📌 Adjustable coverage levels
📌 Easy-to-apply online or with an advisor’s help
You Are Worth Protecting
Being a freelancer means you took the bold path. You chose growth, flexibility, and freedom.
But it doesn’t mean dapat ka ring maging vulnerable.
You deserve protection. You deserve peace of mind.
At higit sa lahat—you deserve to build your dreams without fear.
