Pre-need Companies in the Philippines Now under Insurance Commission
Pre-need companies in the Philippines are now under the supervision of the Insurance Commission.
The pre-need law was passed in December 2009 and the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) were signed in March 2010.
Visit the website of the Insurance Commission at insurance.gov.ph, and you will see the pre-need code and the IRR already published on the site.
You will also see the list of the 23 pre-need firms under Directory of the IC home page. However, the list on the IC was still the list previously prepared by the SEC.
The list includes the 23 pre-need firms that were licensed to sell pre-need plans as of December 2009:
- Abundance Providers and Entrepreneurs Corporation (APEC) (formerly Pacific Plans)
- AMA Plans
- Ayala Plans
- Caritas Financial Plans
- CityPlans
- Cocoplans
- Danvil Plans (formerly Berkley International Plans)
- Destiny Financial Plans
- Eternal Plans

- Manulife Financial Plans
- Mercantile Careplans
- Paz Memorial Services
- Philplans First (formerly Philam Plans)
- Provident International Plans
- St. Peter Life Plan
- Sun Life Financial Plans
- Transnational Plans
- Trusteeship Plans
The only two changes from the May 2009 list are:
- the addition of APEC to the list
- change of name of Philam Plans to Philplans

Danvil Plans — File Your Claims Early
If you’re a planholder of Danvil Plans, and your plan is maturing in the coming months, prepare your papers now, and file early — 3 months before your maturity date.
According to a Danvil customer care staff, planholders should file their claims 2 months before maturity date because Danvil now takes 60 days to process claims. But there are some planholders who have made comments on this blog that they’ve filed their claims 3 months before. So, perhaps it’s better to file 3 months before your maturity date.
Thanks to Fides — who had filed her claim and had received her check– and Rolly — who asked Fides about the requirements in filing a claim, here are
the requirements in filing your claim:
1. Maturity Claim Processing Form (from Danvil)
2. Family First Future Provider Plan (Face Page)
3. Certificate of Full Payment
4. Policy Contract
5. Cedula
6. 2 valid IDs
The offices of Danvil Plans are still here, according to Danvil’s Customer Care:
1. 4th Floor, Equitable Bank Tower, Paseo de Roxas, Makati
2. SM Megamall
3. SM Southmall
4. SM Fairview
5. SM North
The telephone numbers are:
755-1521
755 1591
You just have to be patient when calling because oftentimes, especially weekdays, it takes Danvil a long time to answer. Perhaps, just like other firms, it is cutting costs, so there are only a few customer staff.
