                    [Summary] => The pre-need industry is projecting a 20-percent growth this year, as it steps up efforts to win back investor confidence through aggressive marketing and the expansion of distribution channels.


Juan Miguel Vazquez, president of the Federation of Philippine Pre-need Plan Companies Inc., said most pre-need firms are eyeing a 20 percent increase in sales this year on the assumption that the economy will improve.


"I think 20 percent is a safe estimate although the growth of the industry would depend on a lot of things like the economy," Vazquez said.
