A Very Good Girl actress Kathryn Bernardo and her mother Min bond over anything under the sun.
In a special vlog, the mother and daughter offered a glimpse of their lives as they stopped by a local ube halaya vendor.
“Not sure kung alam ninyo ito — kaya ganyan ‘yung skin ni Kath ay dahil pinaglihi ko siya sa ube (I’m not sure if you know this, Kath’s skin is like that is because I craved ube when I was pregnant with her),” Min said.
Min also shared that their regular after-school trips consisted of visiting the bookstore where Kathryn would ask her to buy trinkets.
Min was once a Cabanatuan-based financial advisor of AIA Philippines, a decision she made after experiencing a life-changing event that prompted her to get her family life insurance.
“Out of that bad experience came something good. Kumuha ako agad ng life insurance. Then it became a career. Nagta-top 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,” she said.
In just one year as an advisor, Min became a member of the Million Dollar Round Table, a select group of financial advisors considered the top of their field. Yet, she could no longer continue after a few years as Kathryn’s career started to flourish in showbusiness.
Min and Kathryn are now part of AIA Philippines’ roster of ambassadors.
“As someone who has a first-hand account of what happens to a family who was not protected, I can’t stress enough the value of life insurance as an expression of love to those who matter most to us
— our families. Min has experienced it, too. This understanding of our mission makes Kathryn and Min the best people to help us spread the word on how love can be better said with AIA,” Kelvin Ang, AIA Philippines CEO, said in a statement.
Kathryn and Min join Gary Valenciano, Solenn Heussaff, Nico Bolzico and Wil Dasovich as AIA Philippines ambassadors, individuals who help bring to life its brand purpose of helping people live healthier, longer and better lives.
