Insular Life (InLife), the largest Filipino life insurer, is reshaping the way Filipinos think about life insurance with its new brand expression, “Love in Life.” The 115-year-old company aims to move the conversation away from fear and toward love, empowerment, and belonging.

Why it matters:

Life insurance in the Philippines has traditionally been tied to discussions about sickness, loss, or death—topics many avoid. InLife wants to flip the narrative by showing that preparing for the future is an act of love for family, community, and self.

“Insurance is not about fear—it’s about love, empowerment, and belongingness.”

What they’re saying:

“We want love to be lived so it becomes real,” said InLife chief marketing officer Gae L. Martinez. “Insurance is not about fear—it’s about love, empowerment, and belongingness.”

Martinez said Filipinos’ natural selflessness makes the concept relatable:

  • Breadwinners making sacrifices for family

  • OFWs leaving home to provide better opportunities

  • Young professionals supporting parents and siblings

“Financial preparedness is a love language—for yourself and for those you care about,” she said.

Between the lines:

The campaign also targets Gen Z and younger professionals, addressing misconceptions that insurance is expensive or only for older or married individuals.

Products in focus:

InLife is backing the campaign with products tailored to different life stages:

  • iProtect: Affordable renewable term life insurance

  • Wealth Assure Plus: Flexible, customizable coverage

  • Resilience: Critical illness coverage for all ages

  • Abundance: Endowment plan for life goals and milestones

  • Retire Assure: First true retirement product in the country

What’s next:

“Love in Life” is being amplified across traditional and digital channels, including social media, radio, print, and TikTok challenges. A Gen Z-focused campaign is set to launch soon, designed to make financial preparedness feel empowering.

The bottom line:

InLife’s message is built on credibility—115 years of standing by Filipinos through wars, recessions, and pandemics. As Martinez puts it: “Life may be tough, but our love for our fellow Filipinos remains strong.” —Ed: Corrie S. Narisma
