Quote from the episode:
“When I was working in Cebuana Lhuiller, one of our products was around five protections. We sold mostly to the lower socio-economic sections. So everytime there’s a fire, 10% of the people affected had Cebuana insurance. I was like “oh my god. wow!”. They pay the same day or the next day. It’s just life changing. It may be just you know, 20 or 40,000 you get, but at least it’s not zero. That really changed my perspective in insurance.”
