Overall financial preparedness among some Filipinos remains low despite having a clear sense of their financial priorities.
Despite having identified their financial priorities, majority of respondents who took part in the 2023 Financial Readiness Survey of leading insurer Sun Life Grepa Financial, Inc. (Sun Life Grepa) said they still lack financial readiness when it comes to securing protection instruments that address their various goals and needs. Perceived full preparedness is less than 10%. Respondents said they are fully or somewhat prepared when it comes to having funds for emergency use (34%) and for major goals (32%), personal health (32%), and investments (30%).
In terms of respondents’ top financial priorities, the latest priority rankings are consistent with the company’s 2022 survey results, although the percentages have slightly changed. Earning and saving income ranks number one at 69% (previously at 77%), followed by building wealth at 57% (from 60%), and protecting money at 39% (from 33%).
The changes in variance can be attributed to the sustained “new normal” or post-pandemic recovery. Full-time jobs and other income-generating opportunities have become more stable, allowing people room to adjust their financial priorities. Health protection ranks fourth at 29%, up from fifth spot last year at 24%. This is followed by child education at 26%, which held the fourth spot last year at 28%.
Owning adequate insurance policies does still give people peace of mind, with policy owners having a higher level of perceived preparedness compared to those without insurance ownership. As such, Sun Life Grepa plans to bolster its educational projects to inform people of the value of financial protection. These initiatives also help match people with financial products and instruments that address their specific needs.
For those wanting to insure their health, the company offers Sun Grepa Fit and Well, a comprehensive life and health protection that provides financial benefits upon early or late diagnosis of any of 114 covered critical conditions. There are also specialized health protection plans such as the Sun Grepa Senior Care for people in their golden years and Sun Grepa Cancer Care for those battling the Big C (cancer). In addition, there is the Sun Grepa ProHealth for clients looking for affordable health coverage and maximum health protection.
For owners of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) who need solutions to address their company’s and employees’ needs, Sun Life Grepa came up with Sun Life Grepa Accident ProSafe (packaged group insurance specifically designed for SMEs that offers comprehensive coverage against accidents), Sun Life Grepa Smart Care Plus (provides small business employees with protection benefits against death, accidents and illnesses), and Sun Life Grepa HIPSTER (Health Insurance Plan for Small Enterprises, an affordable insurance solution that provides life, accident, disability, and medical benefits for MSME employees).
The insurer also recently launched a new fund option called SLG Peso-Global Sustainability Growth Fund that caters to environmentally conscious investors looking to grow their finances sustainably. This peso-dominated, variable unit-linked (VUL) fund provides easy access to a mix of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)-driven global equity funds, offering investors a meaningful way to benefit from market opportunities.
Sun Life Grepa is continuously innovating financial solutions to accommodate varying concerns and preferences, giving the uninsured more ways to protect themselves and their futures.

The upbeat track is helmed by Josh Cullen himself with additional production by frequent collaborator Ocho the Bullet and UK-based indie sensation No Rome
P-Pop superstar Josh Cullen reclaims creative independence on his own terms with the release of his new single “Get Right” via Sony Music Entertainment.
The electro-pop banger finds the SB19 rapper and vocalist embracing his music journey while navigating the challenges of making a dent in a highly competitive industry as a solo act.
Josh explains, “Basically, it’s a declaration of my return, confidently showcasing my understanding of the game. The lyrics reflect my resilience, self-assurance, and the realization of how the industry operates. It’s about asserting my presence, owning my space, and creating music that resonates with who I am as an artist.”
Written and produced by Josh Cullen himself with frequent collaborator Ocho the Bullet and UK-based indie icon No Rome, the upbeat track marks a significant departure from the vibe and songwriting style of his previous releases. Integrating EDM, hip-hop, and hyper-pop influences with a bass-heavy production, “Get Right” explores music for the sheer joy of reinvention and fun while tapping into a new sonic space that fits Josh’s personal style and brand.
“I was pretty much the brains and director of the process, but my cousin ‘Ocho’ really elevated things, surpassing my expectations,” the fast-rising producer and singer-songwriter explains. “I might’ve pushed him a bit hard with my specific vision, which got a bit stressful. However, he went all out on this insane drop we’d been dreaming of. And you know what? The outcome exceeded all my expectations.”
Josh adds, “Also, No Rome, who was a co-producer, brought some crazy energy to the mix too. His input added this insane energy to the whole process. He really brought some fire to the table.”
The release of the song comes with visuals developed by Josh himself. The music video features Josh and friends hanging out in Los Angeles, enjoying the warm climate and the laid-back, cosmopolitan lifestyle usually associated with the city.
“I just went with the flow and let my creativity run wild during those times,” said Josh. “I wanted to bring the visuals I’ve had in mind since we started making the song to life, and LA turned out to be the perfect spot for it. Yet, truthfully, YouMeUs and my team in LA exceeded all expectations. Despite being only three people in LA, their effort and discipline were monumental. They managed to make it look like a full-blown production with their dedication, imagination, improvisation, and hard work.”
Josh Cullen’s “Get Right” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment. The music video drops tonight, December 15, 2023 at 7:00 p.m. on Josh Cullen’s official YouTube page.
