- 02
No. The amount of the new permanent policy cannot be more than the original Sum Insured of your 10 Year Term policy.
- 03
To convert, you must:
Submit a written request to the company during the conversion period.
Surrender the original term policy.
The new permanent policy will be issued based on your current age and the sum insured of the original policy.
Premiums will be calculated using your age at the time of conversion.
There are few important rules: You must convert before the policy's termination date and at least two years before the policy ends.
The insured person must be under 60 years old.
You must submit a written request to the company and surrender your current policy.
- 04
No. The document clearly states this policy has "no cash value." It is designed purely for protection, not for savings or investment.
- 05
The premium will be based on your age at the time you convert the policy and the type of permanent plan you choose.
- 06
No. There is a "grace period" (the length is not specified in this document) after your premium due date. If you do not pay within that grace period, the policy will then terminate.
- 07
10-Pay Term to Age 65: You pay premiums for only 10 years, but coverage lasts until age 65.
Regular Pay Term to Age 65: You pay premiums regularly (e.g., monthly, yearly) until age 65, and coverage also lasts until age 65.
- 08
If you can’t pay a premium, the company can use your policy’s Cash Value to cover it as a loan. If the Cash Value is too small, coverage may shorten.
- 09
Yes. Once your policy has a Cash Value, you can take a Policy Loan (up to the Cash Value amount). Interest will apply, and unpaid loans reduce the death benefit or can cancel the policy if the debt exceeds the Cash Value.
- 10
If you miss a premium and don’t choose an option by the end of the grace period, the policy will automatically switch to Extended Term Insurance. This means your coverage continues for a limited time without further payments, but the amount or duration may be reduced.
- 11
Your coverage continues for a set period without premiums. The length of coverage depends on your policy’s Cash Value. If there’s extra Cash Value, it may add a small Paid-Up Pure Endowment benefit at age 87.
- 12
The policy will automatically terminate, and all coverage will end. Refer to the Table of Non-Forfeiture Values in your policy or contact the company for details beyond the table.
- 13
You can choose:
Cash surrender: Get the policy’s net cash value (minus debts).
Paid-Up Insurance: Keep a reduced death benefit with no further premiums.

- 14
The policy ends automatically if:
Premiums remain unpaid after the 31-day grace period.
You convert it to a permanent plan.
The insured reaches the termination date or age 60 (upon maturity).
The Policy Owner submits a written cancellation notice to the insurer before renewal.
Any valid claims before termination will still be paid.

You have several choices for your annual dividends. You can:
Receive them as a cash payment.
Use them to help pay your premiums.
Leave them to grow with interest in an account.
Use them to buy additional small amounts of paid-up life insurance.
If you don't choose an option, the dividends will automatically be left to accumulate with interest.
- 24
Interest will be charged at a rate approved by the Insurance Commission. The loan and interest are due on your next policy anniversary. If you don't pay it back, the total amount (loan + interest) will automatically become a new loan, and new interest will be charged.
- 25
No. The policy clearly states that Article 1250 of the Philippine Civil Code, which deals with extraordinary inflation or deflation, does not apply. The value of all amounts and benefits is fixed in Philippine Pesos as stated in the policy.
- 26

If you don't choose an option, the dividend will automatically be left to accumulate with interest.

You can choose a five-year paying plan (First Star 5) or a ten-year paying plan (First Star 10), allowing you to match your premium payments with your budget and financial goals.
- 31
If you experience total and permanent disability, all future premiums are waived, so your coverage continues without any payment worries.
- 32
If you choose this option and miss a payment, the company will automatically pay your premium for you. It will first use any dividend savings you have and then take out a policy loan to cover the rest. This helps prevent your policy from lapsing if you forget a payment.
- 33
Your policy includes a Table of Non-Forfeiture Values that shows the estimated cash value, paid-up insurance amounts, and extended term durations for different years. You can also request more detailed information from the company in writing.
