MANILA, Philippines - There are two major travel periods in the Philippines and one of them is coming this November 1, All Saint’s Day and November 2, All Soul’s Day. As most people will trek to visit their deceased loved ones, or take advantage of the long weekend to go on holiday, these periods area also occasions to be extra careful while travelling on the road, particularly with the increased volume of vehicular traffic.
Protecting lives and valuable belongings during this time is Malayan Insurance’s paramount goal. The country’s leading non-life insurance company calls on everyone to drive with caution and consideration to enjoy the most of this extended break.
Vehicles, for starters, must be checked to see if their conditions are roadworthy. Even if they are, avoid overloading them with too much cargo. Make sure everyone has their seatbelts secured. Obey road rules and pay attention to weather conditions, speed limits, and the rights of other drivers.
If you’re experiencing driver fatigue, pull off the road to a safe spot and have a nap. Driving while drowsy can be just as fatal as impaired driving. Avoid using the mobile phone while driving, and never take the wheel under the influence of alcohol.
Make sure your auto insurance policy is current and provides coverage against any road-related incidents. Malayan’s AutoMaster car insurance safeguards your vehicles against financial loss due to natural calamities, theft and automobile damage, and provides protection for you and your passengers.

It has up to P4,000 worth of free towing assistance, up to P2,000 worth of minor roadside repair service, up to P1,000 worth of alternative transportation, general claims assistance, and many other benefits.
