Kathryn Bernardo’s mom Min, a former financial advisor, emphasizes life insurance importance

MANILA, Philippines — Actress Kathryn Bernardo and her mother Min recently gave viewers a glimpse of their personal lives, which have not been previously shared publicly.

Life insurance company AIA Philippines (formerly AIA Philam Life) recently announced that the beloved young actress and her mother are now part of the company’s roster of ambassadors.

As seen in an AIA Philippines video, Kathryn and Min stopped by a local ube halaya vendor, which made Min reminisce her pregnancy with Kathryn. 

“Not sure kung alam ninyo ito - kaya ganyan yung skin ni Kath ay dahil pinaglihi ko sya sa ube!” revealed Min. 

Min also shared their regular after-school trips to the bookstore, where Kathryn asked her Mama to buy little trinkets, which she indulged as gift-giving is one of her love languages.

Coincidentally, Min was once a Cabanatuan-based financial advisor of AIA Philippines — a decision she made after experiencing a life-changing event which prompted her to protect her family with life insurance, and finally say yes to becoming a financial advisor. 

“Out of that bad experience came something good. Kumuha ako agad ng life insurance. Then it became a career. Nagtatop ako sa branch namin at the same time, nakakatulong ako sa ibang tao.

Natulungan ko sila to understand kung ano ang life insurance at kung gaano ka important ito,” Min shared. 

The experience made Min an ideal person to encourage people to get the protection they need so they can enjoy a secure future no matter what happens.

Min’s short-lived career as a financial advisor allowed her to better contribute to the family, and help her clients become worry-free with the protection products she was able to offer them.

In her one year as an advisor, she became a member of the Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT), a select group of financial advisors who are considered at the top of their field. 

Unfortunately, she could no longer continue after a few years, with Kathryn’s career starting to flourish in Manila.
