Bago niya kinanta ang pangalawang awitin, proud niyang sinabi na isa na siyang senior citizen.

"You know, I turned 60 this year. Yeah. Sixty. I'm 60, and I'm proud to be a carrier of the senior citizen card. I also get discounts now. Never got discounts in my life except for now.

"As we know, as we grow older, you have to keep dyeing your hair, going to the derma. If you have money, go, do what you want.

"But always, we have to really remember that our health is our greatest wealth.

"And as we age, like in this song, there is always comfort in knowing that we have a trusted partner in health whose care can stay with us till forever.

"And I hope that this song, it's transcended generations because I sang this when I was 12.

"And so many other great artists have re-recorded this. And you know, I'm still doing it, and it's become some sort of a national anthem, you know, for my fans, for my Sharonians.

"But whenever I sing this, it really always comes from my heart because it's a song I love very much. It was written by Rey Valera.

"As I said, I was 12. I hope you can sing with me if you remember this song. And also remember, like, this song promises, like good health with Inlife, are meant to last a lifetime. This is for all of you."

Ano nga ba ito?

Paliwanag ni Jose Eduardo Ang, chief product and innovation officer ng InLife: "It's a perfect health product to go with any of your HMOs already.

"It'll take care of your hospitalization needs and in case you also need to have extra treatments after, before, kasama na din po.

"You get to choose your hospitals, your experts, whether it's local or abroad with this plan. And that's why we like it.

"Nice, simple, cashless, easy to use, works perfectly with the coverages you already have."

Kumusta ba ang reception ng mga Pilipino sa health insurance ngayon?

Sagot niya: "I think by and large, when it comes to health insurance, most Filipinos aasa na lang din sa ating mga HMOs that are provided by different companies.

"And we know that we hear so many stories na medyo kulang minsan, di ba?

"Suwerte kung pasok, but there are sometimes medyo malubha yung mga nangyayari. Nagiging kulang pa ang funding.

"And that's why we want to get the message out there that just in case you really wanna protect your family, we now give you some options that you can consider to go beyond that to make sure na whatever happens, may peace of mind po tayo, protektado po ang buong pamilya at ang lahat ng mga savings po natin."

Ano ang mga misconceptions ng mga Pinoy pagdating sa mga health insurance nila?

"Medyo misconception minsan is na basta't may isang plan na, it's enough, especially sometimes sabihin mo, 'Ah, okay bumili na ako. Meron akong illness product dito sa kompanya na ito, parang okay na, di ba?'

"But we wanna make sure and remind people na akma na ba talaga yung coverage na yun. Mahal na ngayon magpagamot kung nagkaroon ng sakit, di ba?

"Sometimes if you get a heart attack, a stroke, if you have cancer, yung cost can go anywhere from five hundred thousand pesos to kung major to four or five million pesos.

"And that's not something na all of us have easily accessible na pera ano?

"And most of us, I think that insurance-wise, parang may plan tayo, five hundred thousand, one million, hindi natin naku-cover yung dulo-dulo ng range of possibilities.

"And that's why we're happy with this plan, Inlife Global Care, kasi just in case maging malubha, just in case ma-ICU ng matagal, you now have an extra buffer, an extra way na ma-cover po yun ng buong-buo.

"And that's really something we wanna get out there. Sometimes having one plan is not enough. Kailangan po minsan combination or we have a good mix of plans para siguradong lahat ng eventualities covered po."

Ayon pa kay Ang, ang IGC ay mayroon ding product para sa mga mahilig mag-travel abroad.

"Naku, lalo na sa gustong mag-travel ngayon. Meron namang travel insurance pero just in case, yun nga, major accident, di ba?

"Nag-skiing tayo, nalaglag, you broke your leg, di ba? Kumakain tayo, allergic ka pala tapos bad reaction, di ba?

"Yung insurance natin sa travel, it only covers so much. But with a plan like this, Inlife Global Care, yung mga malalaking emergencies na ganoon, covered na covered ka.

"So iyan pa lang sa travel. Now long-term, kapag bumili ka nang mas bata [ka], mas mura po yung rates natin. Of course, it does go up over time.

"Pero yung maganda po dito is once locked in, once you have that plan, pang-habangbuhay as long as we choose to renew it.

"And alam natin na yung malulubhang mga sakit, it hits when we're older. So have this early, have the plan ready so that just in case may mangyari down the road, covered po tayo, wala na po tayong inaalala.

"And that's why we're so excited. Have this plan, less worries, more peace of mind, enjoy na po tayo sa life.

"So you can drop by the website. You can send a question even on our social media. We can connect you with an agent. Pero kung may kakilala po kayong Inlife agent, they can definitely get this done for you."
