Financial literacy took a bright leap forward under former President Fidel V. Ramos.
He signed Proclamation 1059 declaring the first week of October of every year as “Life Insurance Consciousness Week.” The document highlighted “services and benefits for financial protection” and how “the life insurance industry is a major contributor to the social and economic development” of the country.
As a formative political figure, President Ramos was also instrumental in Sun Life’s decision to stay and thrive in the Philippines. He was the one who reminded the company to believe in the Filipino spirit – a mutual exchange of trust that created a lifetime partnership spanning renewal, reinventions, and revolutions.
Thank you for sharing your light to Sun Life, the life insurance industry, and financial security for Filipino families. Rest in peace, FVR.
