Pru Life UK introduces health, wellness product

Filipinos can now take advantage of life and wealth protection as well as health management in one product with the introduction of the myDNA Pro Bundle by Pru Life UK. The first of its kind in the Philippines’ life insurance industry, myDNA Pro Bundle combines Pru Life UK’s insuravest, or investment-linked life insurance solutions, with the myDNA Pro program, which provides tailored diet and fitness recommendations on reducing health risks based on an individual’s DNA.

Allan Tumbaga, senior vice president and chief marketing officer of Pru Life UK, said “Pru Life UK is committed to listening to and understanding the needs of individuals and families across the Philippines. Through myDNA Pro, Pru Life UK provides Filipinos with a unique and innovative product to help them establish healthier lifestyles. Combined with our lineup of high quality protection and investment solutions, we believe myDNA Pro Bundle offers customers a holistic package covering life and wealth protection as well as health management.”

Developed by Hong Kong-based genetics testing company Prenetics Limited, the program generates a comprehensive DNA report  that helps identify and reduce the “three highs” of health risks-type 2 diabetes , high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.

These health risks, according the Department of Health, are among the leading causes of mortality in the Philippines.

SMEs earn more points when flying Singapore Airlines

Starting April 2, 2018, businesses that are members of the Singapore Airlines HighFlyer program in Singapore and Australia can earn HighFlyer points when flying on Lufthansa and SWISS operated flights ticketed by Singapore Airlines on eligible sectors.

This partnership is part of the joint venture agreement signed between the two airline groups in November 2015, which aims to deepen co-operation in key markets in Europe, Southeast Asia and Australia.

“We are delighted to strengthen our partnership with the Lufthansa Group, and to enhance the HighFlyer Programme. We are constantly looking to reward our corporates when they fly with us, and we will continue to expand our choice of airline rewards for our HighFlyer members,” said Singapore Airlines senior vice president for sales and marketing Campbell Wilson.

The HighFlyer Programme, designed primarily for small and medium-sized enterprises, allows companies to earn five HighFlyer points for every S$1 spent on tickets booked through Singapore Airlines’ corporate booking platform or an appointed travel agent.
