Prudentialife Plans – Termination of Plan

March 5, 2010 · Filed Under Others, Pre-need · Comment 

This is for those asking about Prudentialife Plans, the diversified pre-need firm with main address at Prudentialife Bldg., 118 Gamboa St., Legazpi Village, Makati City.

Check again because this is often confused with a different company, Philippine Prudential Life Insurance Company (PPLIC), an insurance company headquartered in Pasig City and affiliated with Danvil Plans.  Prudentialife and Prudential Life are not affiliated with each other.

If you have decided to terminate your Prudentialife plans, these are the documents you need to bring to Prudentialife to apply for termination:

  1. Plan or policy contract (Original)
  2. Certificate of Full Payment (Original)
  3. At least two valid IDs (Photocopies signed three times)
  4. Benefits Settlement Application Form (3 copies)
  5. Processing fee of 300 pesos (to be deducted from the proceeds of the plan)

You can view or download a copy of the Benefits Settlement Application Form here.

If you like to view or download copies of a special power of attorney or affidavits, go here.

Always remember though that if you terminate your plan, you won’t get back all the money you paid.  You’ll only get a small portion.  The percentages are written in your plan.

But as others say, mas mabuti nang merong konti kesa wala.

I don’t have a Prudentialife plan. What I have is a Danvil plan. There was one time I also considered termination because of the pre-need crisis, but I decided to wait.

Nevertheless, we have to decide for ourselves. We gather information and then decide.  Whatever happens, we have ourselves to blame or congratulate.

Legacy Group Victims

September 5, 2009 · Filed Under Pre-need · Comment 

Reading news about investment victims is depressing and stressful because it evokes anger against the perpetrators.

But oftentimes, I still read them just to remind myself that I’m not alone, that I’m not the only one who made wrong financial decisions.

About four years ago, my former-OFW-husband and I lost about 400,000 pesos in a failed investment.

Going back to the Legacy Group scam, here are some of the investors that lost big amounts of money, based on news reports on inquirer.net:

Boy Galang, an OFW in Oman

Galang invested 200,000 in Legacy’s double-your-money scheme. He even canceled his flight back to Oman just to submit his complaint, hoping to get back his money.

Over 12,000 Soldiers and Police Officers Including Colonel Ariel Querubin

The Armed Forces and Police Savings and Loan Association Inc. reported that 12,047 soldiers and police officers invested nearly 318 million pesos in Legacy’s Scholarship Plan Philippines through salary deductions.

Querubin said he had paid a total of 109,000 since buying a plan in  1999.
