Generali Pilipinas extends grace periods for payment of policies

Insurer Generali Pilipinas is extending the grace period for payments of life policies residing in the “Ondoy” calamity areas.

The extension granted is for an additional 45 calendar days, making up a total of 75 days grace period covering due dates from August to October 2009.

“This initiative is in recognition of the financial dislocation our clients who are suffering from the lack of banking and communication facilities in the affected areas,” says Chief Agency Officer Joe V. Ferreria. “Another 30 days is usually the industry norm, but due to the massive devastation of the typhoon, rehabilitation takes time, he added.

These areas include Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon, Caloocan City, Las Pinas, Makati City, Malabon, Mandaluyong, Manila, Marikina, Muntinlupa, Navotas, Paranaque, Pasay, Pasig, Pateros, Quezon City, San Juan, Taguig, Valenzuela, Antipolo, Bacoor, Bulacan, Bataan and Novaliches.
