Ms. Aguas recalled how from a goal of reaching one million Filipino women three years after its inception in 2019, InLife Sheroes, now 5 years old, has reached more than 6.5 million Filipino women through various on-ground and online activities.

“InLife Sheroes will reach out to more Filipino women so that they become empowered through financial education and inclusion. This will be done through various digital/online and on-the-ground initiatives nationwide coupled with partnerships with various like-minded organizations.” ~Nina D. Aguas, Executive Chairperson and InLife Sheroes Prime Mover

InLife Sheroes, InLife’s flagship program for women empowerment, was established in partnership with the  International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group. It aims to reach out to the relatively untapped segment of the women in the Philippines, especially women entrepreneurs who need life and health protection as well as financial solutions to expand their businesses. InLife Sheroes’ four focus areas are financial literacy, health and wellness, women-specific solutions, and access to social and business networks.

In order to exemplify these, InLife forged strategic partnerships with like-minded organizations such as the Philippine Business Coalition for Women Empowerment, the University of the Philippines – Manila’s Mu Sigma Phi, I Can Serve Foundation, Imaginable Impact, For The Women Foundation, Connected Women and major hospitals in the country among others, aside from its bancassurance partner UnionBank of the Philippines, associate Insular Health Care, and social commitment arm Insular Foundation, Inc.

Recently, InLife launched a critical illness life insurance plan called Resilience Female Cancers, aimed at providing coverage for women who would suffer from nine kinds of cancers such as: breast, ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancer; uterine sarcomas, malignant mixed mullerian tumors, malignant germ cell tumors, fallopian tube cancer and leiomyosarcomas.

Meanwhile, Ms. Cuneta, a Shero herself, launched a video series on her YouTube channel, with the first episode discussing the importance of choosing a healthier lifestyle and preparing for the financial impact of health emergencies.

During the anniversary show held at the Rigodon Ballroom of the Manila Peninsula on March 12, InLife also launched the InLife Sheroes Awards. The Awards Program will honor Filipino women who embody the four pillars of InLife Sheroes: champions of financial education, advocates for physical and/or mental health and wellness, accomplished women who work for the benefit of women and business leaders whose products and services address women’s needs. Nominations should be accompanied by a 500-word  write up on the nominee’s profile, explaining her advocacies and endeavors, and must be sent to inlifesheroes@insular.com.ph from March 12 to August 15, 2024.

InLife Sheroes #InAko Campaign Champions Grassroot Engagement

InLife Sheroes

The InLife Sheroes Movement is growing stronger, while getting deeper into the hearts of Filipino women. 

During the InLife Sheroe’s #InAko campaign broadcast live over InLife’s FB page recently, thousands came to watch and engage with program host DJ Chacha and guests as they discussed topics that make a strong, independent, and empowered Filipina. 

InLife Sheroes

The InLife Sheroes #InAko campaign challenges Filipino women to take a deeper understanding of their immense capacity to succeed no matter their personal circumstance, occupation, or station in life. 

This was exemplified through the personal stories by its guests – mompreneur and blogger Shari Poquiz, health advocate Dr. Gia Sison, actress and women’s group prime mover Iza Calzado, and songwriter Abby Asistio – who shared about their experiences of becoming financially independent. 

InLife Sheroes

InLife Financial Advisor Julianne Benitez, who was also part of the event, commended the guests for taking a stand to being financially empowered and shared several tips on how others can start on their journey to financial preparedness.

The music video “Be A Shero”, composed by Abby Asistio, was also unveiled during the #InAko campaign launch. The song amplifies the message that Filipinas have the capacity to empower herself and calls on others to join the movement for financial transformation. 

“When we launched InLife Sheroes in 2019, our initial ambition was to touch the lives of one million Filipino women within three years. Now that we have successfully touched their lives, it is time to go deeper, to fully explore this engagement so that their financial knowledge will lead to actual financial empowerment. We become the voice of women who were born without or who lost their voices simply because life happened (covid, gender bias, harassment, war, abuse, deprivation). We work so they are unmuted and find their voices again and regain the right and courage to speak for themselves.” ~Nina D. Aguas, InLife Executive Chairperson

She noted that through various activities and engagements with women from all walks of life, InLife achieved and exceeded the goal in just a little over a year. 

Through the InLife Sheroes #InAko campaign, Insular Life will continue to champion financial empowerment by tapping and enlisting advocates and provide Filipinas equal opportunities for growth towards achieving financial empowerment for herself, her family, and communities, and ultimately for a financially inclusive nation. 

Join the InLife Sheroes Movement and become an empowered Filipina.
