Why young Filipinos are saying "maybe later" to insurance and what can change their minds

For many young Filipinos, adulthood no longer follows a predictable path.

One year, they're working from home. The next, they're freelancing. Some are building small businesses while juggling side hustles. Others are saving for their first solo trip, paying off gadgets in installments, or helping support their families while trying to build a future of their own.

They are making financial decisions earlier than previous generations, but they are also making them differently.

This shift has changed the way they think about almost everything they spend on, from entertainment and transportation to banking and shopping. They expect products to be simple, digital, flexible, and available when they need them.
