b. Gender - The study has more female than male respondents.
c. Civil Status - Most of the respondents are single, followed by married and
the least, widow respondents
vi
d. Number of Family Dependents - Most of the respondents have less than 3

dependents.
e. Highest Educational Attainment - The respondents are mostly college
graduate.

Recommendations
vii
In light of the conducted study, the following recommendations are made:

1. The scope of this study does not limit the number of insurance providers or
companies for qualified respondents. In order to limit the scope of this study,
future researchers should choose only one insurance provider or company for
the whole sample of respondents.
2. The sampling technique used in this study has the disadvantage of inability to
represent the whole population of respondents. Future researchers should
use a different sampling technique in order to generalize the result of the
study.
3. Improvement of the questionnaires should improve the questionnaire and add
more items to be included in the Likert scale to have a more detailed result.

CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
Have you asked yourself a question of Who will take care of my family if
something unexpected happen to me tomorrow? This question proves that life is
uncertain yet preparation is one of the best defenses we can have. One of the
ways to guard against those uncertainties is having life insurance. Different life
insurance plans arise nowadays specifically designed to meet unique needs and
situations. It offers specific products tailor made for different life stages. Normally,
the objectives are to provide family protection, provision for old age and
protection against risks.
Despite of the necessity of having life insurance, only 12% of the total
population in the Philippines is insured as of 2012 according to the Insurance
Commission whereas in other nation like USA about 75% of the total population
is covered under some insurance scheme. One of the reasons behind it is having
low level of awareness and understanding to the importance of life insurance.
Individuals act and react on the basis of their perceptions, not on the basis of
objective reality. Thus, awareness is the mainspring of demand creation.
Life insurance policies are a safeguard against the uncertainties of life. It
becomes a necessity for a more secure present as well as future of individuals
and families. Thus, to expand, grow and sustain the coverage of life insurance,
enhancing the awareness of the importance of having life insurance becomes the
main focus. The question above reveals that people may not predict the future
but they have the power to have the kind of future they want today by being
prepared now.
Background of the Study

The Insurance Code of the Philippines provides the framework for the
regulatory and policy environment of the insurance industry in the Philippines. It
designates the Insurance Commission as the regulatory authority mandated to
supervise and examine all who are involved in the industry. The insurance
industry in the Philippines comprises the commercial life and nonlife insurance
companies, MBAs, cooperative insurance societies, agents, and brokers. Those
are required to secure a license to operate from the Insurance Commission.
Atty. Emmanuel Dooc, the acting Commissioner of the Insurance
Commission said that insurance industry plays an important role to the
development of the country. He expressly stated that whether life or non-life
insurance, it provides an engine of growth to our national development.
As the Philippines is now considered one of the so-called breakout
nations because of poised of becoming part of the elite group of tiger
economies, the demand for insurance has heightened. However, Philippine
insurance industry continues to face challenging conditions. One of the
challenges being confronted is the low penetration of insurance caused by lack of
awareness on the part of majority of Filipinos when it comes to the importance of
insurance. Many Filipinos even have a negative perception of insurance. The
insurance industry in the country is more than a hundred years old, and yet about
12 percent of the growing Philippine population is insured as of 2012.
From a high of over 130 insurance companies in the 1980S, as of
December 31 2012, there were only 110 commercial insurance companies
renewed their certificates of authority to conduct insurance business for 2012
2013. These are comprised of 4 composites, 29 life companies, 76 nonlife
companies, 1 reinsurance company. It also issued licenses were 28 mutual

benefit associations (MBAs), 17 of which are micro insurance MBAs, and 2
Trusts for Charitable Uses.
As of March 2012, the total assets of the Philippine insurance industry
amounted to P628.34 billion, 82.5 percent of which were contributions of the life
sector and 17.5 percent of the non-life sector. The total net worth of the
insurance industry was P157.2 billion. The penetration rate, which is the ratio of
insurance premiums to gross domestic product (GDP), stood at 1.04 percent in
2010 and 1.15 percent in 2011. This was low compared with other ASEAN
members in 2010: Malaysia, 4.8 percent; Singapore, 6.1 percent; and Thailand,
4.3 percent. Vietnams insurance penetration rate in 2009 stood at 1.55 percent
while that of Indonesia in 2008 at 1.30 percent.
Theoretical Framework
The primary purpose of insurance is to smooth out expenditure on a good
for which the need arises unexpectedly. Economic theory of insurance and health
insurance showed how health insurance ultimately affects well-being.
Figure 1: A theory of change due to health insurance (constructed from economic

theory of insurance and health insurance; Varian 1992; Morris 2007
The first column depicts the uptake of insurance which may depend on
how one perceives his own risk, understanding of the product and social factors
such as trust to the insurance providers. An individuals decision to enroll in
health insurance depends on many variables, including age, gender, current
health status, expected health status, income, education, premium amount,
access to quality health care and out-of-pocket spending. The second column
depicts that the utilization of health care may depend on the quality of service,
fees charged at point of contact and guidance from the service provider. The third
column indicates that proper health care delivered through insurance can
improve health status, reduce out of pocket expenditure and lower decline in
labor productivity or supply.

Scope and Limitations
This is a study about the perception of selected insurance clients to the
importance of life insurance and wealth management. This was done to know
what persons with life insurance think about the program that they availed, how
they rate the different aspects of life insurance as to its objective, term, benefits,
risks and investment value. This study seeks also the reasons of selected clients
on having a life insurance, the problems they think about the life insurance
program they had encountered and also to know what they think is/are the
solutions to those problems. The respondents of this study were selected through
non-probabilistic convenient sampling.
Significance of the Study
This study was anticipated to contribute additional information to serve the
following individual and organization.
Insurance Companies. This study will be beneficial to them as they will
know the perception of their clients to the different life insurance programs that
they offer. This will enable them to improve their insurance programs because of
the problems identified by the clients and their proposed solution in this study.
This study will give them also the idea on how they can reach further to
prospective clients as they will know the common reasons of selected clients on
why they avail life insurance programs.
Uninsured Persons. This study will help them know more about life
insurance and wealth management and get more ideas about it through the
perception of selected insurance clients who availed the life insurance program.
They will be equipped with the aspects of life insurance and know the importance
of it.
Single Parents. Being single parents mean all the responsibility of raising
and giving the needs of their children are their responsibility. This may be a
reason for them to consider having a life insurance so that they will have the
assurance that their childrens financial future is secured.
Retirees. This study will help them to consider having life insurance. The
proceeds of a life insurance policy are payable immediately, allowing heirs to
take care of taxes, funeral costs and other debts without having to immediately
liquidate other assets.. Life insurance proceeds are also generally income tax
free and wont add to their estate tax liability, if properly structured.
Small Business Owners. This study will also help them to consider
availing life insurance because it can help their family and also their business to
have the money to regain from the loss of the owner if something happens.
Researchers. This study served in great part for the completion of the
researchers' course requirement. It opened their minds about the world of
insurance, how it works and what are the developments in insurance. It made
them wise as to what insurance should they choose if there comes a time that
they want to have one. It made them know more people and build their
communication skills. This developed their self-esteem and leadership in
interacting with others, increased their vocabulary, and kept their determination to
finish what they have already started.
Other Researchers. This study will be an effective tool and reference for
the researchers who would intend to make any further relevant study about
insurance particularly about the perception of selected insurance clients on the
importance of life insurance and wealth management.

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
For further understanding of the study, the researchers made use of
different reading materials related to life insurance and wealth management.
These materials, such as books, newspapers, thesis and other web articles, are
essential in broadening the knowledge of the researchers. These will also guide
the researchers to achieve their target objectives by getting ideas on other
related studies and make improvements as possible.
Foreign Literature
A life insurance policy is a form of contract whereby an insurance
company, in exchange for premium payments paid by the client according to the
term of insurance or throughout his whole lifetime, provides a lump-sum payment
also known as a death benefit to beneficiaries in the event of the insured's death.
(Fidelity, "What is Life Insurance?",n.d., retrieved 2015) Life insurance is an
intangible commodity pertaining to a future value. It is a form of saving that is
sure to be realized in full amount according to its term upon the fulfillment of the
condition of death which means it is not subject to the fluctuation of outside
market and tax deductions.
Typically, a life insurance is money provided to beneficiaries after the
event of their insured loved ones death. (Ohio Department of Insurance
[ODI],n.d., retrieved 2015) Thus, it is not for the current benefit of the insurance
client that they avail insurance but for the future of their dependents upon their
death. It means that it is not an immediate gain in contrast to other investment
12
vehicles.
The Ohio Department of Insurance in the United States of America listed
the importance of life insurance that can be summed up to the following: one
thing is, insurance replaces discontinued income of the client upon his or her
death with non-taxable death benefits amounting to a specific full sum and
delivered to their immediate beneficiaries. Second, it facilitates ease for the
beneficiaries in continuing with their life by offsetting financial burdens left by the
deceased such as funeral expenses, hospital and medical bill and mortgage,
estate tax and other debt and it also serves as short term maintenance to their
current standard of living. (ODI, n.d.,retrieved 2015) The overall burden of loss
can be decreased by giving assurance of future security to the beneficiaries for
them to enjoy. Since the payment is in lump-sum, the beneficiaries are in
complete control to the proceeds of life insurance and it is up to them to think
about how to manage the money, hence not all the above listed importance of life
insurance is absolute as it is dependent upon the actions of the beneficiaries.
Although there is a certainty on the amount that can be recovered in the future
due to certainty of death, many people even those who are already insured do
not believe that life insurance is a valuable outlay.
According to the 2015 Life Insurance Statistics and Facts, despite the
change in how people are buying their life insurance policies, the actual number
of households buying insurance are still very low.Though a change in style of
buying can be noticed such as clients going for online shopping for a perfect
insurance companies that can provide for their specific individual needs, an
overall negative view and doubt still prevails throughout the people about life
13
insurance.(2015 Life Insurance Statistics and Facts, retrieved 2015)

The average consumer does not necessarily loathe life insurance, but
rather have a lax view on its importance versus the other personal and financial
obligations life has presented. (2015 Life Insurance Statistics and Facts,
retrieved 2015) Hence, in an option to pay a monthly amortization for a house
bought as against monthly insurance premium, the former obligation is treated as
more important and should be attended so the tendency is total elimination of the
second option since it is just treated as an outflow of money with undeterminable
payback time, or worse just treated as an outright expense due to its hit-and-miss
policy, as in the case of term life insurance.
The main complaint of the people about insurance is because they think it
is too expensive. (Leyes, 2015; Public overestimate life insurance.., n.d.,
retrieved 2015)There are many related factors as to why people think life
insurance is too expensive. One reason might be because of dissatisfaction of
customers to the service of the insurance company which can be traced due to
incompatible coverage with the customers needs or to insufficient understanding
about the policy of the offered insurance plans. Either way, lack of knowledge or
real understanding about the policy affects perception about life insurance.
Another reason is because the people tend to perceive life insurance
either as a necessity or as a luxury item depending on the peoples income. (The
Actuary, Is insurance a luxury?,n.d., retrieved 2015) It is therefore a question
whether a person treats insurance as necessity or a luxury item since it indicates
the core perception of people to insurance and subsequent perceptions are
based on those core perception differences. If the insurance is considered a
necessity, the people tend consider availing though their income is not that high.
14
It is a fact that the demand for necessary items has an inverse relationship
with income while the demand for luxury and income has a direct relationship. It
means that ceteris paribus (considering all other things as equal, e.g. fixed
condition of price of the insurance plan, the company providing service,
socioeconomic, political condition etc.) as the income increases, so is the
demand for luxury while the demand for necessity increases.(The Actuary, Is
insurance a luxury?,n.d., retrieved 2015) It can be seen that in the developing
country like the Philippines, majority views life insurance as just a luxury item,
thus many insurance holder has negative perception to insurance especially if
they do not know how to use it as a tool for wealth management.
A countrys income level is also a significant influence on the overall
perception of its people. (The Actuary, Is insurance a luxury?,n.d., retrieved
2015) In developing countries where the income distribution is not that equitable,
only those on the middle to top of the income strata considers life insurance as a
necessity because first, the family of those people experience comfortable life
and the death of the income earner might affect the current lifestyle of his family,
second, new trends on life insurance emerge where it can become a hybrid of
investment and risk protection so it attracts those middle class who have
sufficient income but with limited expense capacity to avail because of the dual
feature with just a price of one investment assuming those people fully
understand the risk and return of those new products and they agree to avail it
nevertheless (Western Federal Credit Union Resource Center: The Importance of
Life Insurance, n.d.), and third, it increases the credit standing of those who avail
it, so those earners perceive life insurance more as a necessity as it serves as a
15
tool for managing their wealth while those on the bottom part of the distribution
only sees it as an additional or optional expense since they are more concerned
about short term survival decisions due to limited income source.
The trend in todays financial planning industry is to avoid talking about life
insurance and, instead, focus on investments. Yet talking only about investing
assets leaves out a major aspect of planning and the way to protect those assets
are through life insurance (Harriman,2012). Those who focus on investments
viewed life insurance as an incidental benefit due to returns in their investments
and not as a wealth management tool. Financial analysts insist on the separation
of insurance and investment so emerging new policies that cater to investment
and insurance feature is highly discouraged.
Local Literature
Life insurance is a financial product that is not so popular among Filipinos
because it talks about death which is a sensitive topic to discuss.(Camat, 2012)
Filipinos find it a discomfort to talk about life insurance since it tackles about the
event of dying or losing their loved ones. It follows that the rate of insured in the
Philippines is still low.
A lot of misconceptions or negative thoughts are attached to life insurance
in the Philippines. These misconceptions include the following: First, life
insurance will bring bad luck to those who would avail because it talks about
death. Another misconception is life insurance is just an addition to the expense
list. Lastly, life insurance helps only the beneficiaries since the cash proceeds
can only be claimed after the death of the insured. (What people think about life
insurance, n.d., retrieved 2015) The Philippine culture that is susceptible to
cultural beliefs or superstitions is one culprit in promulgating negative perception
16
about life insurance. Added to those misconceptions is the belief that insurance
just adds your list of expenses. This misconception is backed up with the fact that
the lump-sum benefit would only be realized on the event of death. As against
tangible real or personal property, insurance doesnt stand a chance in the order
of priority of expenses. The third misconception lies in the limited knowledge
about the other features of life insurance and the emerging new trend that offered
hybrid security of insurance and investment fund. All of these misconception
leads to negative perception about life insurance.
It is also a struggle for Filipinos to pay monthly premium due to financial
struggles that they face other than life insurance.(Riego, 2014) Due to low
economy of the Philippines, many people have difficulty managing their low
income since the expenses are so high. Availing insurance is generally just a
secondary option to unavoidable expenses.
Some of the responses of the Filipinos when asked about life insurance
include:
Naku,

Malaspag-

seems that there is a lack of awareness especially by younger generations about
the importance of life insurance in managing our wealth which leads to overall
negative perception of our people towards life insurance.

Foreign Studies
There is no standard definition for insurance. It varies on how people view
insurance. To most people, insurance simply means managing risk. It is a legal
contract that transfers risk from a policy holder to an insurance provider.
Insurance services are activities and/or benefits that one party offers to the other
and that services are necessarily intangible and do not result in the ownership of
anything. It is unlike other services, as it is multifaceted and potential reliant
service involves extensive legal characteristics. (Reddy &Jahangir, 2015)
The basic function of the insurance sector in modern societies is to cover
a large number of risks through the mediation of contracts that guarantee
compensation to the insured, be they individuals or organizations, when they
experience losses due to a huge variety of causes. (Lepineux, de Bettignies, &
Tan, 2006)
Life insurance, as a product, is always one of the toughest to sell. Though
one can argue about its benefits in the long term, in this modern materialistic
world, customers are getting very cautious about their investments and the
returns out of it. (Dash &Sood, 2013)
This study attempts to determine the perception of insurance clients
towards the importance of life insurance and wealth management. Customer
awareness or perception as a concept is of universal concern for all economies
of the world. (Ahmed, 2013)Dr. Ashfaque Ahmed in his study Perception of Life
Insurance Policies in Rural India revealed that there is low level of awareness
and understanding of life insurance products. (Ahmed, 2013) There is a need to
create a broader awareness about life insurance in all geographic areas.
(Reddy& Jahangir, 2015)
18
There are various factors that influence consumer thinking when they are
planning to invest in insurance scheme. The roles played in perception of
lifeinsurance policies by members of the familyvaries with knowledge parameters
as well as with the typed of products. While a number of psychological variables
are usefulin obtaining into consumers perception towards buying life insurance
policies, the insurance company name also plays an important role in
purchasing. (Reddy& Jahangir, 2015)
In the study conducted by Dr. Shamsher Singh, Dr. Naveen J.Sirohi and
Ms. Kumkum Chaudhary entitled A Study of Customer Perception towards
Service Quality of Life Insurance Companies in Delhi NCR Region, the age of
respondents significantly determine the customer perception of service quality of
life insurance companies. (Singh, Jirohi,& Chaudhary,2014) Therefore, the life
insurance providers may keep in mind the age factor while designing their
product offerings and promotions. The other demographic characteristics such as
gender, education and annual income does not have significant impact on
customer perception towards service quality of life insurance providers.
The study by Mr. P. Rajavardhan Reddy and Dr. Y. Jahangir entitled
Customer Perception towardsLife Insurance Services in Rural Market, on the
other hand, reveals that occupation has a significant impact on perceptions of
Indian
consumers towards insurance
services. The
study shows
that
Government employees and business people show highest mean score of

positive perception towards insurance services as compared to rest categories of
occupation variable like farmers, labor, private employees and others. (Reddy&
Jahangir, 2015)
19
Importance of life insurance as enumerated by the study of Dr. Ganesh

Dash and TulikaSood entitled Why should one invest in a life insurance product:
An empirical study are as follows: 1. Protection: savings through life insurance
guarantee full protection against risk of death of the saver. Also, in case of
demise, life insurance assures payment of the entire amount assured (with
bonuses wherever applicable) whereas in other savings schemes, only the
amount saved (with interest) is payable. 2. Aid to thrift: life insurance encourages
'thrift'. It allows long-term savings since payments can be made effortlessly
because of the 'easy installment' facility built into the scheme. 3. Liquidity: in case
of insurance, it is easy to acquire loans on the sole security of any policy that has
acquired loan value. Besides, a life insurance policy is also generally accepted
as security, even for a commercial loan. 4. Tax relief: life insurance is the best
way to enjoy tax deductions on income tax and wealth tax. This is available for
amounts paid by way of premium for life insurance subject to income tax rates in
force. 5. Money when you need it: a policy that has a suitable insurance plan or a
combination of different plans can be effectively used to meet certain monetary
needs that may arise from time-to-time. (Dash and Sood, 2013)
The study of Francois Lepineux, Henri Claude de Bettignies and Chen
Keong Tan entitled The Insurance Business and its Image in Society: Tradtional
Issues and Challenges concluded that the insurance mechanism is thus essential
for individuals: it enables all of us citizens to lead our lives free from fear of being
left with nothing after a tragic event, and to feel a relative a sense of security in
our everyday activities. (Lepineux,et.al,, 2006)
Local Studies
20
The benefits of an insurance plan is an important factor that influence

clients perception. The study of Nonito Molina entitled Life Insurance Program:
Prospective Clienteles Level of Awareness concluded that life protection
benefits are provided to the policyholders to cushion the impact of accidents,
illness and emergency. Income continuity benefits were offered to the insured to
provide income replacement to the beneficiary in times of disability or death to
cushion the impact of the loss on income. There is no significant difference
between life protection and income continuity which both rated much aware.
(Molina, 2003)
In the study entitled Perceived and Expected level of Service
performance of New York Life Insurance Clients, Shiela Mae Yatang concluded
that clients patronize the traditional insurance more than variable life
insurance.Majority of the clients insure only one member of the family. There
were less government employees. (Yatang, 2003) The study also revealed that
customer satisfaction has great impact on customer perception.
The profile of the clients also has an impact on how they perceive their life
insurance plan. Dalisay B. Veneracion, in the study entitled Perceived effects of
2008 global financial crisis to Insurance Companies in Makati City, concluded
that the higher the educational attainment, the higher is the understanding in the
value of life insurance.
Decision to acquire life insurance is influenced by demographic, financial
and psychographic characteristics of the respondents. (Veneracion, 2010)
Based on location, barangays nearest the commercial center topped in
terms of awareness on life protection. Least aware are those barangays farthest
from the city proper. (Molina, 2003)
21
Synthesis
Age of clients has impact on their perception towards their insurance plan.
The study of Singh, Sirohi and Chaudhary concluded that the age of respondents
significantly determine the customer perception of service quality of life insurance
companies. Majority of the respondents are in the age group of 25-35 years
(42.4%). The study conducted by Reddy and Jahangir also agrees to this.
Majority of their respondents are between 31-35 years old. This implies that
insurance clients are young.
Another factor influencing clients perception is their level of education and
income. Clients having high educational attainment understand the value and
importance of their insurance plans, thus resulting to positive perception. The
study of Dalisay Veneracion concluded that the higher the educational
attainment, the higher is the understanding in the value of life insurance. Also,
people having enough to more than enough income more likely are the ones who
purchase insurance plans. An article in The Actuary, Is insurance a luxury?
revealed that in developing countries where the income distribution is not that
equitable, only those on the middle to top of the income strata considers life
insurance as a necessity. However, the study of Singh, Sirohi and Chaudhary,
states that annual income does not have significant impact on customer
perception towards service quality of life insurance providers.
Culture also influences how clients perceive life insurance. Raymund
Camat, in his blog, states that life insurance is not so popular for Filipinos
because it talks about death which is a sensitive topic to discuss. They find it a
discomfort to talk about life insurance since it tackles about the event of dying or
22
losing their loved ones. Perception like this calls for broader awareness and
education.
CHAPTER 3
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter discussed the design and procedures undertaken during the
conduct of the study. It presented the research method used, respondents of the
study, sampling technique, research instrument, validation of instrument, data
gathering procedures and statistical treatment of data.
Research Method Used
Collins and Hussey (2009) defined methodology as an approach to how
the research is done. It is made of methods which serve as ways of collecting
and analyzing data.
This study made use of descriptive research method which involves either
identifying the characteristics of an observed phenomenon or exploring possible
correlations among two or more phenomena. It is designed to gather about the
present existing condition needed in the study. Marczyk (2005) stated that
descriptive research method can give essential data about the average member
of a group, or by gathering data on a large enough group of people. Further, the
researchers chose the survey strategy because it seeks the opinion of a sample
about a specific subject matter.
As used in this research, data gathered and analyzed are data on selected
insurance clients profile such as age, gender, marital status, no. of family
dependents, highest educational attainment, occupation, range of monthly
income, name of life insurance and type of life insurance plan, term of life
insurance and monthly minimum payments. In addition, data regarding clients
perceptions to the importance of the different features of a life insurance plan,
23
reason of availing the plan, problems encountered and their proposed solutions
are also treated.
Respondents of the Study
As a result of limited data on the total population, cost and time
constraints, information from a sample size of 55 selected insurance clients from
different insurance companies was able to gather.
Sampling Technique
In selection of respondents, convenience sampling was used. It is a nonprobabilistic sampling technique where subjects are selected because of their
convenient accessibility and proximity to the researcher. A non-probabilistic
sampling technique is a sample technique where the samples are gathered in a
process that does not give all the population equal chances of being selected. It
was used for three reasons. First, getting the total population of each SECregistered insurance company is difficult which is required for the use of any
random sampling technique. In addition, the clients are scattered which makes it
very complicated to contact each of them individually. Lastly, the researchers
have limited time and resources to conduct the study.
Research Instrument
The data collected can be categorized into primary or secondary data. For
this research study, both data collection have been taken. Collis and Hussey
(2009) explained that primary data are those information that come from original
sources through the use of instruments like surveys or through interviews. On the
other hand, the secondary data pertains to the published and unpublished
information.
24
Among the various methods, which can be used to collect the primary
data, the researcher has adopted two methods which are structured
questionnaire method and unstructured interview method.
The researcher has prepared structured questionnaires, which contained
predominantly multiple choice questions, to gather respondents opinions with
regard to the problem. The questionnaire was partly adopted from the
questionnaire developed by Dr. Ganesh Dash and Tulika Sood, assistant
professors of Jaipur National University in India, in their dissertation entitled Why
should one invest in a Life Insurance Product? By all means, the researchers
designed the questionnaires in a proper form to accommodate sufficient and
relevant information required from the respondents.
The questionnaire has fourth parts. The first part concentrated on the
profile of the respondents. The second part was subdivided into two sections.
The first section pertained to the perception of insurance clients to the degree of
importance of each aspect namely objective, term, benefits, risks and investment
value in their life insurance plan. Likert scale was used to modify the answers of
the respondents considering five (5) options with the corresponding scale. The
options are Very Important, Important, Less Important, Not Important and
Indifferent. Respondents are requested to check the bracket represented by each
option. Regarding on their perception of the most significant aspect covered by
life insurance plan was stated in the second section. On the other hand, the third
part, composed of three sections, presented the perception of insurance clients
to the importance of their life insurance plan. The first section listed the main
reason why clients avail a life insurance. The second section showed clients
25
opinion of whether they feel more protected having life insurance. Their
perception regarding cost and benefit was presented on the last section. Lastly,
the last part listed the problems they encountered in having life insurance plan
followed by their proposed solutions. The responses have been collected through
personal and online survey.
In addition, the researcher conducted personal unstructured interview with
an insurance agent to gather more information and statistical data.
The secondary data is collected with the help of an insurance agent in
Manulife, and through using Website, Internet etc.
Validation of the Instrument
Validity refers to the degree on which of which our test or other measuring
device truly measures what it intends to measure. The researchers used the
content validity type for the validity of the instruments used. Steps taken by the
researchers under the content validity include documentary analysis.
Data Gathering Procedure
The researchers spent great time in developing their questionnaire. In
order to develop a well-sufficient and relevant questionnaire, in depth literature
review about the importance of life insurance plan was carried out. The
researchers conducted the survey individually to their acquaintances and their
referrals. It was difficult for them to find respondents because they know only few
people who have life insurance plan. The researchers conducted their survey
through personal and online.
Before the start of the survey, the research's purpose, importance and
objectives were first explained to the respondents. The selected insurance clients
were also given the assurance that the information they had provided will be
used solely for the purpose of the study as well as their identities will remain
26
confidential. All the questions found in the questionnaire seek to find only to the
perception of selected insurance clients on the importance of life insurance and
wealth management. Some of the questionnaires were not retrieved and some
were left unanswered.
The result will be tallied and tabulated according to the frequency of items
answered by the respondents. It will be interpreted by using various statistical
tools.
Statistical Treatment of Data
1. Frequency and Percentage Distribution
The frequency and distributions were used to classify the respondents
according to personal background variables such as age, sex, marital status,
number of family dependents, highest educational attainment, occupation,
range of monthly income and name of insurance company. It showed the
actual number of occurrences of values within an interval. The frequency also
presented the actual response of the respondents to a specific question or
item in the questionnaire.
In addition, percentage distribution was also used. It showed the
occurrences in an interval as a percentage of the total number of occurrences
in the set. The percentage of each item or question is computed by dividing it
with the sample total number of respondents who participated in the survey.
The formula used in the application of this technique is:
% = (f/n) x 100
where:
% = percentage
f = frequency
n = number of cases or total sample
2. Ranking
This is a descriptive measure to describe numerical data in addition to
27
percentage. Ranking was used in the study for comparative purpose and for
sharing the importance of items analyzed.
3. Independent Sample T-test
The independent-samples t test evaluates the difference between the
means of two independent or unrelated groups. It evaluate whether the means
for two independent groups are significantly different from each other. It does not
violate any of the three assumptions: The scores in your data represent a
random sample from the population under study; the distribution of the mean of
your sample is normal; and the variances of the different groups studied are very
similar.
With an independent-samples t test, each case must have scores on two
variables, the grouping (independent) variable and the test (dependent) variable.
The grouping variable divides cases into two mutually exclusive groups or
categories, such as boys or girls for the grouping variable gender, while the test
variable describes each case on some quantitative dimension such as test
performance. The t test evaluates whether the mean value of the test variable
(e.g., test performance) for one group (e.g., boys) differs significantly from the
mean value of the test variable for the second group (e.g., girls).
4. One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
The one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) can be used for the case of a
quantitative outcome with a categorical explanatory variable that has two or more
levels of treatment. The term one-way, also called one-factor, indicates that there
is a single explanatory variable with two or more levels, and only one level of
treatment is applied at any time for a given subject. It has four basic
28
assumptions: The expected values of the errors are zero; the variances of all
errors are equal to each other, the errors are independent and they are normally
distributed.
CHAPTER 4
PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
In this chapter, the data gathered from the selected insurance clients are
presented, analyzed and interpreted. The following variables were illustrated and
discussed: age of the respondents, sex, civil status, no. of family dependents,
highest educational attainment, occupation, range of monthly income, and name
of insurance company together with their perception about the importance of life
insurance. The results of the survey responded by the 55 selected insurance
clients was also discussed.

than 0.05 otherwise we fail to reject. From the analysis of this study, the p-value
is less than 0.05. Therefore, we fail to reject the null hypothesis which means
there is no significant difference between the perceptions of selected insurance

Recommendation
In light of the conducted study, the following recommendations are made:
46
1. The scope of this study does not limit the number of insurance providers or
companies for qualified respondents. In order to limit the scope of this study,
future researchers should choose only one insurance provider or company for
the whole sample of respondents.
2. The sampling techniques used in this study has the disadvantage of inability to
represent the whole population of respondents. Future researchers should use a
different sampling technique in order to generalize the result of the study.
3. Future researchers should improve the questionnaire and add more items to
be included in the Likert scale to have a more detailed result.
